Ode to Greatness Bad Poetry for a Good Guy

[+ purplekow]

The Request

 

I recently read

In another thread

Of a kind heart desiring

Before eternally retiring

For a poem to be written

To him by one smitten

And though I'm not a suitor true

While waiting for one I hope this will do.

 

Ode to Greatness

 

Many people pass through our knock a day lives

Relatives, neighbors, friends, their wives.

One moves through leaving ne'er a trace of himself

One thunders by, porcelin falls from a shelf

One touches a heart, a soul, a mind

One has words redemptive, supportive, kind

One leaves us empty, tear stained remorse

One vaguely recalled, the better course?

One invokes spring with flowers and rain

One mourns our passing with flowers and pain

One has our love and holds it relentless

One is our friend and sees in us Greatness

 

Last Lines

 

Please oh Please solve this mystery

Whyever did Hallmark fire me?

Was it that my poem's rhyme

Was a meter or two, or three out of time?

Was it that my verse was too treacly

Or suggested sex, well indirectly.

Was my work just that not good?

Its a mystery to me. Solve it if you would.

 

 

Par

 

I am not feeling up to par, means you are not well

But in golf par is average and below par is swell.

You hardly hear a golfer cheer three over par

So if I am under it must mean I will go far.

The parity has me silly as a goose

And so I depart to join Dr. Seuss.

Purplekow in Tyrian purple

 

Unfailing love is in you

 

Refreshing thoughts you write

 

Pleasant poems you sing

 

Led me here to rest

 

Endless love you give and

 

Kindness you show

 

Open up my heart to see

 

What a beautiful kow you are!

Greatness.

Great mess.
