I so love this form called Footle
It allows the poet to doodle
With so few words
Whether right or absurd
Now read , short trip, lets tootle

Large sigh

introspection, time,
Time passes much too quickly
HURRY UP AND GET DRESSED:
just wait
too late
I CAN'T SLEEP:

I DON'T FEEL LIKE DOING ANYTHING:
waste time
a crime
I'M SO BEAUTIFUL:
won't last
age fast
WE'LL BE TOGETHER FOREVER:
goodbyes
love dies

All smiles
Go miles,
All cries
soon dies,
Face fears
shun tears,
All hate
can wait,
As such,
LOVE much,
Laugh off
a scoff;
Be kind
Save Wild,
Be wise
Shun vice,
Good deed
Godspeed,
Find nooks
Read books,
All's swell
ends well!.

DEAR !
Once you won my heart !
and walked away merciless.
Dear ! Won’t you repent ?
How could you forget or how
could I accept barren life.

NUN FUN IN THE SUN
There was in hot Tashkent in the orient
A religious uprising - a convent dissent.
Army was ordered in with gunnery,
The soldiers targeted the nunnery.
Here are the events in vista:
One lovely sista was forbidden a mista,
But a certain young soldier kissed her
Unaware of the portents
For the jewel of the convent’s contents.
In her cell he wanted his love to foister.
(She had made his cloister moister.)
His inclination was to osculate ;
The incident threatened to escalate.
Her kiss made him forget his gun,
Which overheated in the sun.
The magazine cooked until done,
Then bang, their love was gone.

Checking the newest poems,
I see her latest form.
It’s Robin Gass’ poems,
Keeping PoetrySoup warm.
Always pouring her heart,
Within her timeless writes.
The poignant lines she pens,
Delivers beautiful insight.
She has so much to say,
Way more things than google.
We are blessed by the words,
From the Queen of Footle.

Oh God, ,
Our Lord
Great King,
We sing.
Eyes raise
Give grace
You lead,
We plead.
Steer life,
From Strife.
Help reap,
Joys deep.
Give bread.
Love spread.
Calm us,
In fears.
Save us,
From tears.
Our need,
Do heed.
We bide.
Abide.

Indulge
Awhile
In thought
Spirals
Just see
How they
Orbit
Our heart
Wherefrom
They sprung
But now
We fuel
Our thoughts
Habits
Patterns
That shroud
The light
Within
So let’s
Now shift
Into
Stillness
Silence
Pristine
Where we
Just rest
Feeling
Life pulse
Our breath
Heartbeat
The bliss
Current
That seeks
Fusion
Union
With God
Through love
Whose hues
Bubble
Afire
Joyous
Embrace
Both form
And void
Now one
All love
Thus touched

Hands serve
Strong nerve.
Feet fly

Firm bones

Pulse rate
joy’s state.
Cells cope
life’s hope.
Saved soul
best goal.
Spirit
stays fit.
Wellness

Smooth veins
blood reigns.
Mind light

Great lift
God’s gift.
