POEMS: Scottish Cyclone, A Gang of Cyberheroes and Daydream Believer
These were written for the CPC Friday Fling and Thematic Attic Thursday poetry challenges respectively. The Fling wants Clerihews about a made up cartoon character; the Thursday wanted poems about personal dreams.
SCOTTISH CYCLONE
Cammy Kilcanny will give you the Whammy
stronger than that of Yosemite Sammy.
She uses her cowlick to hypnotize bad guys,
that is when they’re done staring at her lush C size.
If they should approach the backside of Kilcanny,
they’ll be mesmerized by the shape of her fanny.
If all else fails and they get past her charms,
so that she must fight, she has hydraulic arms!
So don’t mess with her if you’re lacking in virtue,
or through a brick wall she will smack and insert you!
She’s a tough customer, drawn to the teeth,
from a hardy upbringing up yonder in Leith!

A GANG OF HEROES
My cartoon is peopled by eight superheroes
each one worth just one with six added zeroes.
In case you can’t picture that, it makes a million,
each from that number is one, in vermillion!
Superheroine Angelina Amour
always has plenty milk of kindness pure.
On daily wanderings she always carries
at least a few gallons of magic loveberries.
Like a reincarnated Lady Diana
Itsmediane appeals more than a banana,
daycaring lovingly for little children
with manner so sweet and heart brightly gilden.
Bettie Spaghetti flies cyber breezes,
giving acquaintances symbolic squeezes;
presenting to all eyes wherever she goes,
kind Southern greetings in Georgia peach prose.
Producing fine musings, one Hannah Barbara,
waters the deserts of cyber Sahara.
Her nature’s to praise Mother Nature’s achievements
in flowery poems made from divine conceivements.
Then there’s a honcho who goes by “Jaytee,”
who rides herd on Mondays for you and for me.
A magical rodeo in the Corral
with writing efficiently terse. What a Pal!
Everyone enjoys to tarry with Sharee
Nary a reason to ever be wary.
Schoolteacher supreme with more than one feature,
a crackerjack poet and positive preacher.
So very swell is the belle named Meshell.
In love with her poetry everyone fell;
as well as a wonderful photographer,
“Come here at once!” Depp might telegraph her.
And let’s not forget the amazing Ayrody
without whom the CPC might have implodied
His lessons on blogging and enthusiasm
helped us all traverse the Lady Death chasm!
These are the heroes within the two covers
of the CPC, made for lively verse lovers.
They do exist beyond imagination,
creating a dream which induces elation.

DAYDREAM BELIEVER
Gleamer the dreamer
dreams of a screamer
who goes quite moanly.
But only when lonely.
Gleamer the dreamer
would not drive a Beamer.
A maxivan only,
for him and Miss Moanly.
Gleamer the dreamer
is such a lame schemer.
If his van is rockin
don’t you come a knockin.
Gleamer the dreamer’s
a consciousness streamer.
He rocks his own world
when his daydream’s unfurled.
