Joker

Charlie is a joker,Who loves games of chance.Favorite is poker,Ambition ………… visit France. Tries to be professional,Day and night, gambles.To him, life is normal,Though others think he rambles. His winnings used wisely,To study a new language.Soaking...

Tribute

Here’s a tribute to my father,From an affectionate daughter.It’s his birthday,So I’ve lots to say.“Thank you, Daddy,For being ever ready,To chip in when needed,Advising, though unheeded.At times, I may have stumbled,And by experiences, humbled.Amidst...

Smashed Up

With stress, I am unable to cope,Smashed up is my parents’ hope.Introduced to marijuana,By new acquaintances;Don’t worry about consequences,For it is my manna.Pleased long as there’s supply,Sometimes threats I apply,Just to grab the prize.Surrendered...

Injustice

There’s a girl called Beryl,Who’s as large as a barrel.Because of other people’s ways,She has a contorted face.Being the target of ill remarks,Hurt her like sharp darts.She became an introvert,No Samaritan could convert.A long time since depressed,Mo...

I’m a gypsyCan put you in a trance,If you’ll only see,My brand of belly dance.I’d perform a trickWith a hundred-dollar bill,In my show of magic,If I’ve a stomach to fill.Welcome to my camp,Don’t leave too early.I’ll light a lamp,If you feel eerie.Try...

We came in party hats,Welcomed by you and your pets,To celebrate the special occasion ---The birth of your son. A large banner was made,Multicolored streamers hung overhead.The inner roof dropped a vivid sphere,Produced an ecstatic atmosphere. We wer...

Crazed Fan

She’s not a commoner,But a mega-entertainer,The top earner.She’s the best,No one can contest,They just softly protest.I’m her number one fan,Following everywhere, her band,Get up close and personal I can.I’ve proposed marriage,For we’re just the righ...

Tormented

Tormented I am,Each morning over my cuppa,Reading the papers,Reports of brutality against girls.My heart bleeds for our children,Tortured, raped, murdered;Despicable, heinous actsOn these children of God.Our future lies with the young but …Life’s pul...

Queen of Hollywood

As Sheba’s the Queen of Hollywood,In big-budget films, gets top billing.An indication she’s more than good,Is her pay, which has no ceiling.Standing at a towering six feet,Not yet thirty years old,Full of zeal, extremely fit,Nothing out of place from...

Odd One Out

5 Aug 2021 1 minute read 0 comments emily2u

Among the kids, I’m the odd one out;My parents have proof.Useless for me to pout,As I’ve accepted the truth. Brainy and handsome, smashingly,Are all my brothers.Smart, graceful and lovely,Are the four sisters. Well, I’m the oddity,Neither clever nor...
