Oh Today III (four liners)

I miss Jimmy
Cass and John
MJ, George
and Janis gone

I am here
on the deck
so are you
you want to neck?

A gentle breeze
the sun shines on
our thoughts contrived
until far gone

I saw people
walking by
waving hands
to say good bye

I'm a thinker
and a tinker
I'm a winker
and a blinker

Hipsters
ripsters
lipsters
nipsters

I love you
Oh big deal
You'll be gone
and time will steal

I like beer
in this heat
I'll drink one
then repeat

The deck table
has an umbrella
to block the sun
and cool the fella

That I want you
is so clear
You're delightful
I want you near

Oh Today II (four liners)

I will sin
to the radio
you won't like it
you'll change the channel

I saw a cowboy
in a hat
he had swagger
which confused me

I love my watch
which tells time
beyond that
it has no purpose

Love the one
you are with
CSN sang
such a gift

I saw your dick
I saw your pussy
I can't decide
show me mercy

you are mine
to approach
to say nice things
 above reproach

I love the wind
and the sun
you are here
bring on the fun

I love the foam
that lined my mouth
I swallowed deep
the beer went south

I am sure
my beer is empty
the wind blew
my cup away

If they don't know
what I am saying
Then I need to
use more words

Oh Today I (four liners)

I rode my bike
to meet my friend
we ate our fill
did not pretend

My beer is empty
I want service
Please bring more
You make me nervous

not really


I asked her
to turn it up
the music's fine
the wind abrupt

I saw a cloud
was but a puff
of fluffy white
and empty stuff

I reached out
my hand to birdie
my finger to perch
I'm no Dr. Doolittle

If you're the driver
and I'm the truck
I'll slow down
I'm no fuck

Some beer spilled
onto the chair
looked like urine
pooling there

I met my friend
he is cool
he defends
He's a jewel

So bizarre
just one cloud
heat source there
not too loud

I saw a bug
drink from a pool
it was beer
the bug staggered

She walked by
and didn't look
not at my smile
nor at my nook

   For Laura ME

I went to the beach

to read your poetry

with my back to you
east facing west
to know more time
will come to us

I want to hold
my hand
so happy at the beach
beautiful strangers
children remind me
of childhood. mine
my days at the beach
The water smells sweet

I opened a beer
thought of Ruth Gordon
random conversations
overheard
a microscopic spider
fell or blew onto me
soon, gently obliterated
I didn't mean to

I held your book
I felt your pages
and your words
rose up to greet me
with heart-shaped sounds
and meaning

More Four Lines at a time

If I'm the path
and you're the bike
ride along
or take a hike

If I could gather
all my tweeps
in one room
would lock for keeps

A cute guy
smiled at me
with teeth and lips
so I would see

If you're the pore
and I'm the sweat
I will glisten
you'll look wet

Let me say
that you are grand
so unique
and in demand

A cute girl
smiled my way
with winks and nods
I'll call her Gaye

I saw a bee
rub all about
then take flight
spreads pollen out

If you're the promise
and I'm the deed
say your peace
for me to heed

Oh sweet lover
you're in bed
I'll tuck you in
and give you head

Four Lines at a time

If I'm the deck
and you're the chair
sit upon me
I won't care

She is cute
she likes country
that's okay
she is cute

All the oil
oozing from the Earth
A nasty hole
with mighty girth

I like Stella
it's a beer
cool and crisp
bring it here

The beer is cold
the beer is good
the beer is ready
and drink I should

She wore boots
instead of flats
kicky and sexy
where it's at

If I'm the sky
and you're the clouds
roll on in
make me proud

Did you read it?
I need to know
Did you get it?
Did you grow?

If apes and man
are not related
that's good news
would you like a banana?

here's what I want
please come near
truth is painful
so is fear

She'd rather text
with him in sight
then talk about it
during his fright

He is cute
and so is she
Her pink hair
doesn't matter

Oh the locals
were acting silly
I joined in
I'm not chilly

They don't get a table
until I go
I will leave
I'm no asshole

Four Line - Jenny lines

Delicious dishes
making wishes
for lots and lots
of gushy kisses

If you're the soap
and I'm the dirt
rub around me
we will flirt

Four Line - Jenny Poems 12

Windy times
blow about
the hats and hair
of those in doubt

Mired deep
in drudgery sleep
through REM to reap
the mind to keep

You're the patron
I'm the stool
sit upon me
so I may fool

And oh with that
I won't compete
I won't digress
I won't repeat

I'm too much
I must admit
I carried on
I threw a fit

You're the speed bump
I'm the issue
ride over slowly
bring a tissue

On the path
I saw a turtle
before I left
I named her Myrtle

I like the grass
up to my ass
no I don't
that would tickle

War is bad
while sex is good
guns are blazing
you give wood
 
If in the end
you still don't know
it's too late
you have to go
