Best Monkey Poems

Monkey See~

There once was a monkey named Frank
Who loved to walk the plank
He said too many jokes
Pulled too many hoaxe-s 
Ha! Ha! Ha! Then he got a good spank

Who's that monkey in front of me
I dare to hang with you on a tree
Oh! What I...

She came out of the sea at twilight
Weak and trembling, bent with age
Her hair entwined with seaweed
The pounding surf a watery stage. .

then with the most frightful groan
Beaconed with a bony finger
To her minions in the foam..

Out of the waves they...

"50 Words for Poe: Monkey Boy"




"VACANT" ...

You lie your head down on a soft pillow
in a grey room 
They say you have the Key
But it’s Hell, 
you’ve done the work
You’re not forgiven
You’re not free

Someone on the other side 
wants to lie down
there is no soft...

Cunningly swinging
On the trees of life
Playing his pranks
Winding up the wife

Enjoying every challenge
Using his brain
Owning it. Bossing it
Playing the game

He's a Chinese Monkey 
- a little bit spunky
A little bit of attitude
A little bit of grit

Dashing, darting
With daring and drive
Top of the tree
And feeling alive

Dancing...

In my special child’s room, delightfully cozy
There watches Smidgeburner, his ape stuffed toy, cuddly fuzzy
Alongside prettisome guru, chimpanzee Betzy
Donning a hat declaring “God does not bless the lazy!”

Then Smidgeburner, a.k.a Smidge becomes busy
Tidying the bed-zoo against being messy
Guru Betzy supervises, never bossy
Smiling, she commends, “Wow;...

She yelled, bring the girl and the little dog too!
My blood ran cold, wondering what she would do.

I was brought to her castle many years ago.
Ensuring my own kin I would never know.

We all grumbled about it, but we took off anyway.
To cross this old...

I’m a monkey who lived all alone

So of I went and got me a clone

He looks just like me

Moved into my tree

And now he wants a clone of his own...

How sinuous...

In the Trinidad emperor zoo

And no " I am going nowhere with  you

I am a cheeky monkey
Funny face 
And long arms
To swing from tree to tree
Looking for tasty leaves
And maybe
A banana for my tea.

I live here in the jungle
With all my friends and family 
But our home is getting
Smaller and smaller around us
As the giants with there...

Receive
Listen
Be Still

Whispered words arriving on teardrops of the wind
They call to me
Embracing me so that I may exhale
For a moment in time

I look down to see the child woman curled up on my lap
Quietly dreaming
I stroke her sleep dampened hair and 
Caress her cheek gently...

It has no brain
yet it outsmarts
many little red funny caps
thanks to them

Reincarnated, I will come back as a mustached and bearded Italian organ grinder,
I will live in Rome, Italy and play my home-made barrel organ in the streets,
My pet spider monkey, Shark, will happily grab up silver coins, as a reminder.
And we will make the beautifully-dressed...
