sonnet bref, [ my designation ] in less than iambic tetrameter Options

[JustDaniel]

Wrong of the South

gender
normal
lender
formal

for her
wedding
after
sledding

down the
stairway
doo-hah
zip-d'yay

blue bird
chauffeured

[Larry]

vain feign

Chauffeurs
to town
where lures
abound

that make
you stop;
forsake
those shops

that vend
what’s nice,
pretend;
think twice

or rent’s
now spent.

[JustDaniel]

dollhouse x-mas

now-spent
cartridge;
large vent
partridge

pear tree
broken;
Barby
woken

jailed Ken's
Christmas
in pen's
isthmus

muzzled
puzzled

[Larry]

desert’s sot

Puzzled
Emir
guzzled
his beer

in robes
sweating
ear lobes
getting

deadened
and numb,
reddened
then some

old whore
brought more.

[JustDaniel]

trance formed

bought more
until
outscore
lost thrill

nothing's
teasing;
roughing's
pleasing

living
with less;
giving
to bless

others
druthers

[Larry]

her game – your bawl

Druthers
matter.
Mothers
chatter

with firm
voices;
confirm
choices

but they’re
not yours,
her share
endures

so you
just stew.

[JustDaniel]

Ugly Delicious

rich stew
cooking,
askew
looking

meat and
vegges
no canned
wedges

ever
'ganic;
never
panic

wealthy,
healthy

[Larry]

eat ding

Healthy
eating;
stealthy
cheating,

with new
diet
could you
fry it

or add
something
to fad
dumpling?

Arrange
a change.

[JustDaniel]

enough already!

for a change
rearrange
where we sit
but commit

that you will
then be still
for a while
with a smile

for our peace
while you cease
moving chairs
here downstairs

just relax
your knickknacks

[Larry]

smooth sellin’

Knack for nicks
when he shaves
is a fix
which he braves

for his beard
quickly grows
and it’s weird
but he knows

if each cheek
isn’t smooth,
things look bleak
when he’d groove

with his wife;
it caused strife.

[JustDaniel]

honest answers

strife has grown
in their bed;
can't condone
what he said

yes the dress
makes you look
fat; address
your cookbook

why'd you ask
if you can't
do the task
for your pants

just to fit?
can't admit?

[Larry]

miss cons true

Can’t admit
she was wrong
and she’ll hit
you with song

and a dance
that you’ve seen.
There’s no chance;
she’s the queen

and mistakes
don’t occur,
just bad breaks
as it were.

Blamelessly,
you’ll agree.

[JustDaniel]

crowned

You'd agree
with the crowd
should you see
when you bowed

all the smiles
on each face;
in the aisles
they'd embrace

roses bring
just to show
you with zing
all aglow

what they mean:
you're the queen

[Larry]

treat meant

You’re the queen
for a day
that was seen
back a way

in my youth
was a show
with no truth
but you know

ladies loved
that parade;
pushed and shoved
sweet charade

for a throne
of their own.

[JustDaniel]

not a red scent

for the roan
she had pled
for her own
and it's said

Daddy tried
to obtain
what she spied
but in vain

ponied up
all he could
but his cup
was no good

for it leaked
and he peaked

[Larry]

ragged eeeeeee

Andy peeked
up her dress
so he seeked
to confess

to sweet Ann
of that act
but again
he got smacked

and saw stars
for a bit
but her drawers
were a hit

with a toy
little boy.

[JustDaniel]

John Pseu Doe

Little boy
who got smacked
wasn't coy
and he lacked

certain skills;
he left girls
feeling chills
from fake pearls

that he spoke;
pseudo wise
but a joke,
a disguise

for this poor
paramour

[Larry]

flushed rummy

Pair or more
from a deal
may assure
some appeal

but your bet
should be small
better yet,
you could call

if you think
other folks
hands may stink
and are jokes

but all in
isn’t gin.

[JustDaniel]

in summery...

If it's gin
that you drink,
I'm not in;
please don't think

that I'm strange
just because
soda's range
has no buzz.

I am fine
to have fun
as we dine
in the sun

when we reach
the South Beach.

[Larry]

show’s off

The South Beach
has big waves
and on each
a man braves

with his board
all the tricks
from sea’s hoard
but he picks

with his eyes
a cute girl
the right size;
missed a curl

and fell in
hanging ten.
