My plumber is here to sort my pipes.
Says he has divorced his wife.
He just showed me his hose.
Then proceeded to propose.
I admit I got the fright of my life.

conflict, hurt, inspiration, love hurts, metaphor, snow,
The sun told me it will rise again;
And send its warmth to the glen,
But it can't soften the coldness in your soul!
So I will walk barefoot on the snow buried in your whole:
Leaving my traces on your heart's lane.

allegory
In economy led of beastly mind,
Upon a political serpentine.
All strives of wickedness kicks,
Against the fleece of Love’s Pricks(goads).
As true sheep trod, before their God’s, INClINE(will).

for having a ultra hyper bright light
just for having the title of DOCTOR right

and be known for being LORD bart

The myth of extreme self righteousness
Forever hard to find
Words poisonous like venom
Backstabbing for per diem
Corruption among this game we call chess

Got my hand caught in the cookie jar,
mother’s ears didn’t wander too far
Here comes the wooden stare.

Double trouble, here comes father’s car

I'm like a SEAL team commando
After several cups of espresso
I like to dive bomb
With great aplomb
A gyrfalcon? I think so
To poach me is illegal
My name evokes the regal
I reach astonishing speed
When I'm ready to feed
You can call me a golden eagle

The stage is warm and yet colder
The past round my neck as a boulder
I sit and I think
Do I need a drink?
Would I have done well to have told her

care, death, extended metaphor, insect,
My mom and dad met in the gut of an insect!
As a kid, I was packed in a sac not so perfect;
When I am mature,
I make myself sure
To infect a human when the insect does inject

I think I'll write a silly dribble
Which you can read and maybe quibble
Pens of color write
Words on paper bright
Could be considered brilliant scribble

A perfect metaphor for everyone's life is like
Standing up in a hammock or standing up on a bike
Now that's totally silly
And quite unhealthily
Could fall down, break your crown, should stick to a trike

Poor Tom did not know how to ride,
Encouraged, the first time he tried,
But the horse was mad,
It galloped being glad,
Down the brook letting Tom to glide.

not doing every day is action

Well, time's up..no, it isn't a town in Timbuktu
To the back of the class

When you sneeze and put stuff all over your shoe

I fell from the sky twirling drifting down
Turned into a snowflake yelling touchdown
Then skates cut though thin ice
Split open and cracked me twice
Right in my behind giving me a frown

I think tonight I'd like to write a 'sonnetina'
It seems to me that it would be a wiener
No rules, no rhyme
No simile
Nor metaphor
Nor imagery
Just sling the words, like week-old hash for dinner

Zico played ball through smell

A woman I knew loved a twinkie.
She also loved a binky.
The cream from the twink,
She'd smear on the bink.
So what do you think?
Is that kinky?

Once relished was ketchup married;
He liked mustard so he married;
It was rather new;
But not very Yahoo;
Condiment life so unwarried;

A family who lived as a 'bubble'
joined another to make it a double
but as bubbles do burst
by Covid they were cursed
and so it all ended in trouble.
