One Single Impression: Creative

Creative and Clever
Old Man

He's so creative they said.
Clever devil too they add.*
Talking about an old man,
a man of seventy some.

What's so special about him?
Nothing you wouldn't do if,
if you could. Father a kid,
this man of seventy some.

One Single Impression: Reincarnation

Reincarnation Woes

If I were a foo bird
a little fooie you I'd tell.
I'd tell you how to fly
even though I can't fly myself.

Now you ask, "why you can't?"
I'd go on and on 'bout my sails.
Strung high above the bilge,
up and over seas not, they've failed.

You say "why did you try?"
Fooie me I believed I could.
Foo bird's soulful remorse,
"ne'er did exist a foo." Poor bird.

Goodbye forever now
you little feathered fooie foul.
Loser, alas, I've picked,
lying here in my box of wood.

Acrostic: Stalker

STALKING was her game

Twisted thoughts had she

Aimed her bow my way

Likened to a leach

Kinky thoughts they were

Ears her fetish stuff

Rare and bloody—mine

buy me some flowers—tear then

One Single Impression: Shift in Time

A Down Shift in Time

Caught between the eighteen wheeler
and a Ford truck with horse trailer—
he hit the gas, went down to third
and made his shift in time, superb.

Where was his hot Ferrari steed
when in his scary time of need?
He pulled that Caddy to the side
a prayer of thanks to God he said.

Now driving home, he changed his course,
he's glad to be alive no worse.
Making that down shift changed his mind
Las Vegas was a waste of time.

One Single Impression: Elusive

Impish Elusive Nothings
a wordless little poem

Words eluded me today
for that I will simply write
tomorrow or yesterday.

Meter here abandon care
a bit of nonsense today
without those words nothing's here.

Rhyme it surely I can do
missing words not a problem
I do this lark just for you.

One Single Impression: Conquer

Conquer It
what ails me

Common colds prevail.
Orneriness and ale ... .
Near sightedness, pills.
Queasiness and ills .....
Under bed monster ....
Elder aged and weak ..
Retirement's bleak .....

Notes:
*Rive Droite's (The Right Bank) most famous street is undeniably the Champs-Élysées, but there are others of prominence, such as Rue de la Paix, Rue de Rivoli and Avenue Montaigne. (Wikipedia)
**Île-de-France is one of the twenty-six administrative regions of France, composed mostly of the Paris metropolitan area. Its name literally means "Island of France", maybe from ancient Frankish Liddle Franke, "little France". (Wikipedia)
