Short Roundish Poems

There's this roundish fellow named Moe Hyatt
  Who's beginning a strange liquid diet
    Hyatt will only drink kegs
    'No, Moe!' his poor liver begs
  Then all his innards start to run riot...

SHES THE QUEEN OF SMOOTH
SHE KNOWS HOW TO PLAY WITH HER VOICE
HER FACE WAS ROUNDISH
WHEN SHES SMILING SHE WAS LIKE A NEW BORN BABY 
THE FIRST TIMW SHE TALK TOME SHE WAS LIKE AN ANGEL
SHES MY MONALISA
SHES  MY LAND
I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANYONE CAN BE LIKE HER
I CALL HER MY STAR
WHEN SHE SPEAKING I FEEL CHARMED
WHEN SHES HUGING ME SHE USED TO
WHISPER IN MY EAR AND SAY YOU ARE MINE...

So tell me dear, what have you there
above your pouty lip?
I can do little more than stare
where tempered words oft slip.

With roundish humor, there it sits
a black spot on a stage-
a dancing actress camping glitz
attention- all the rage.

The charm of such a simple mark
so fortunately placed,
will conjure up a coy remark
how loveliness is graced.

A city up on the south bank of the Aire River,
Mossy with long 'loggy' greens,
Land-sides,flat like table tops,
Scenery,with a glance, so pretty.
Cool breeze,fresh like juiced lemonade.
Archival historical Art Gallery,
John Lewis' eye-catching towers,
Broad lanes along tall piles,
Roundish loopy ring roads;
bejeweled  with shiny traffic lights.
....................My Leeds!
Yorkshire's pride...........!
A winsome English county....

A pufferfish is soft, roundish-sluggish.
Some even say slightly clownish.
Seemingly an easy target...
But when provoked it puffs up and flashes a set of sharp spines.
If engulfed, it'll stick in the throat of its bullhorn aggressor.
It's also highly toxic.
When predators attempt to cancel it, they'll likely die in the process.

If you hadn't noticed pufferfish are popping up everywhere.
Sometimes I see a hint of a pufferfish in the mirror....

We have different meanings for this little word…

It can mean to incite or urge, even encourage one to commit to something…

A roundish reproductive body, produced by a female, of certain animals as birds, turtles and some snakes, too.

You can eat most eggs, if you like…

Can eat them fried, poached, boiled, scrambled or deviled…

You can make many other, things using eggs as well…

Enjoy your eggs anyway, you like them…

Washed the roundish rock off in the pond.
Metallic sizzle smell came from her center.
Reminding me of a sauna’s fragrance.

Mica and feldspar glinted under the water.
I lift her out and sense a metallic scent.
Instantly visualizing iron on a rainy day.

Memories flood my brain
Other rocks collected and cherished
Thrown out by a prissy mother

Another treasure! I dunk her into the gentle water.
Next to miniscule minnows
She comes out smelling like rain....
