Come down from your kingdom
just for one day
we'd like you to visit us
we invite you to play
...
Insomniac living
nocturnal presence
in a world giving
of no pure essence
...
I've got what you want
you told me to bring it
this box here for you
our ship's cargo
...
Bear with me baby we're in for it now
I've gone away to prepare some chow
I hope you can last here while I am away
So in a short while we'll be together okay?
...
You're my inspiration, my one true muse
Nothing you could ask of me I would refuse
For what you give to me is priceless
I couldn't ask for anything more
...
All the while
sitting at sunrise
bathed in gold
brand new style
...
She told me to be careful with her
She told me not to be so rough
But why did she fail to mention
How without her It'd be so tough?
...
Neither cackle nor clamor
can break the tranquility
The mind here placid
despite aural cacophony
...
True love to you,
faithful in lieu
of a cheek turned to
boys, a cute few
...
Unsure this and unsure that
If I can't love you, I will love a cat
A cat that is clean,
A cat that is nice
...
Oh Crystal
You like the Harry Potter
Why do you even bother
to try and make me see-ee
...
I make money, I make sales, I struggle, and I mope.
One thing I don't do is give up my hope
And when the time comes to make all things right
I hope I will vanquish every problem in sight
...
'I've got it! ' Said the man on one fine Monday morning
He was on a roll of revealment after barely brainstorming
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
All blessed with knowledge at the height of his heyday
...
I often dream of parking lots
'Where did I park? I think I forgot'
I've got to get to class on time!
My love is here, what shall I do?
...
Her loving heart
She had to share it
Soon came the day
I couldn't bear it
...
Dissolute and rapid
Close quarters
No stop signs
Mixture spreading
...
Hold onto me my dear
My embrace will rid you of fear
I’ve worked on these muscles for oh so long
To offer you protection through becoming strong
...
Dear Lord I ask unto thee
to take care of the girls in my life for me
Hold close to you these women on Earth
The ones that you've watched over since birth
...
Choose Your Own Metaphor
Come down from your kingdom
just for one day
we'd like you to visit us
we invite you to play
the rules are simple
take the time to learn
their bounds are ample
they're not all too stearn
and soon you'll enjoy it
the freedom exists
to go back if you must
we won't persist
just keep us in mind
'cause it's us you can trust

I think (roll of drums) that you're a real poet, Sean, who writes the occasional lousy line don't we all. So please take your talent seriously - but go on writing fun poems along with the serious ones? Best wishes.
