An Equestrian Tale
Pleased as punch this mother quite proud
Flips up her tail and neighing so loud
Her gait so lively, her head held high
A bright young mama, once a gleam in her eye
Unbridled spirit, feeling so grand
The spitting image of his dear old man
Romping through fields, free of reins
Thundering hoofs, flying mane
A frisky young colt like dad in...

Wearing Just Socks
I know a young lady, her name is Kim
Whenever I see her, she makes my heart grin
They call her a doctor but to me she's a friend
Whatever my ailment she knows how to mend
With every new visit, my symptoms take flight
She knows how to soothe me to remedy my plight
After all these decades finally found...

A Happiness Sermon
Gloomy old Gus sure ain't my claim to fame
Upbeat and happy, they're both my middle names
There sure ain't no future in promoting ill will
Every morning the sun still peeks over the hill
There's enough negativity in the world to go round
So let's not encourage this scourge with a frown
You've only got one life to live then...

Dactyls and ElephantsDactyls are metrical
Feet that are named after
Fingers with three little
Parts like the knuckles that
Lie in a pattern of
Stress like these sentences:
'Jealously murmuring
Elephants quietly
Sob in their handkerchiefs.'
Feet that are fingers -
How odd!

Wobbly Legs
When I was younger and thought of old age
Thought we all became senile at this elderly stage
It appears I was wrong, I can still go potty
And able to dress this tired old body
Try as I might, I don't see very well
And my wobbly old legs are as shaky as hell
Sometimes my words come out like...

A nap,,Just a nap in noon I'll take", I always say in sudden,
Since my eyes have already rotten,
and my breath's beat forgotten.
My clothes full of cotton,
sadly the Fabric foresworn,
of all the drawn scorn.
And as my face touches the couch,
I heard my mother from the other side of the room: ,,Don't jump so...

Little brothers warmthWhen I was locked behind the bathroom door,
since I didn't wanted to face what I was made for,
you kept waiting behind even more,
which made me unsure.
Protecting I should you in this life,
since I am your older sister and it's the only thing that's right.
You were only 7 when I remember,

Dabble DactylsI have invented a nonce nonsense form: the "dabble dactyl." A dabble dactyl starts out like a double dactyl, but forgets the rules and changes horses midstream. Anyone who prefers order to chaos should give the dabble dactyl a wide berth and also not sow any wild oats. Otherwise, “A little dabble’ll do ya.”...
