Very Short Poems

A collection of Paul Curtis' very short poems about love, life, death and sex. Paul writes both humorous and romantic poetry which encompass both short pithy poems and long narrative poems. This is a distillation of the really short poems from amongst Paul's numerous funny poems. The majority of the poems are only two or four lines, although some slightly longer poems creep in, if stylistically they are short in nature.

Unlike the remainder of the Peculiar Poetry collection, there is not an individual introduction to each poem. This isn't a sign that I'm becoming lazy, but because the humour of many of the poems is destroyed by an form of introduction. Instead, the poems are broadly categorised according to their subject matter and presented en masse.

Short Love Poems

Funny poems about romance, relationships and marriage provide a gentle introduction to Paul's collection of very short poems. If you find these poems distasteful or disturbing, you would be ill advised to proceed any further.

Short Poems about Life

A selection of short humorous poems about family and domestic life, but as seen from a distinctly male perspective. The initial offering includes poems about toilet seat etiquette, the frustrations of owning a video recorder and how to please, or better appease, one's wife.

Short Poems about Death

Short poems about suicide, death, mortality and the afterlife doesn't sound like fertile ground for humour, but these poems are really, genuinely funny.

Short Sex Poems

For some, the title of this collection will raise the ugly spectre of funny poems about premature ejaculation. Strangely, that it not one of the many sexual themes explored, but readers should be warned that Paul takes very much a no holds barred approach to writing funny poems about sex, so those who don't want to know the final score should look away now!

Alternatively, those looking for really filthy poems will perhaps find Paul's collections of dirty poems and erotic poetry are more fertile hunting ground.
