The board of directors
were bored of directing
and went for a walk in the park
The moon told the sun,
hey come have some fun
and hang out with me in the dark
Perry
While counting some sheep,
wake said to the sleep
"Come here, I'm ready"
Sheila Sharpe
It's a terrible shame
it's the sea that's to blame
it keeps washing me out it's so petty
Ceida Uilyc
And if I stopped writing,
All the rights in the world
Would write itself wrong
Yellowpotato
And the teacher stopped teaching
Cause she decided to do some learning
What else is there to know for someone who teaches everything?
James Khan
The clowns settled down
For a night on the town
In a car with a lemonade engine,
And the cat with the tonic
Drinks gin and smokes chronic
But **** it! - he's still worth a mention.
Lewis Hyden
Then the cat wandered home
After her evening roam
And snuggled up on the dog's lap;
So the dog shut the door
Of their little bookstore
And together they shared a cat-nap.
Jeff Gaines
The Moon reached out its arms
and hugged the Earth
Loving it, absolutely.
Then Venus said to Mars:
"Let's hang out with the Stars"
And they left the solar system completely
DrippingWatercolors
The hand in the sky,
Plucked a tear from your eye
and then it became a star.
-
When the sun gave a sneeze,
and exclaimed, "pardon me!"
the light fell upon us like rain.
-
and the cat gave a smirk
for his duties he did shirk
as he strolled his way down the lane

Oh a poet like me,
has very few priorities,
but I enjoy writing a quick verse
M-E
It’s pretty to see
Verses as dances of the bee
So harmonious. Unfortunately without me. :)
Darrell Landstrom
A callused finger
Pinches out the gleaming flame
And the moths that did linger
Found themselves without aim.
The streetlights spoke
And we wandered all the same.
Emily
He founded the foundry, while
She laundered the laundry.
They cobbled the cobbler, and
Then baked the baker.
But no one ferried the lean farrier,
Across the nonsensical barrier.
Thank you Perry, Sheila Sharpe, Ceida Uilyc, Yellowpotato, James Khan, Lewis Hyden, Jeff Gaines, DrippingWatercolors, M-E, Darrell Landstrom and Emily for your help with my little poetic experiment. I really enjoyed the verses you provided.
