Best Adorned Poems

Wistful dreams
— like frost flowers
dainty  
formed in Fall’s brisk —
melt like wishful tears 
as dawn’s glow 
wakens 
sweet mirage 
of us
twined in love’s 
filigree-

abandoned... but still 
adorned with blue romance 
and 
gold-band emotions.

       May all rejoice, the world’s adorned

    The boy who takes his elder's arm 
       keeping him safe from traffic’s harm

A lovely morning
Up and dawning at the view  
Calla lilies turn

A breath of air stare
Sunrise kisses the lilacs sigh
God has blessed me...

I clothe my love in silken wrap
no surface is denied,
for every touch, and each caress
is gently amplified.
I clothe my love in sable fur
it's inner warmth to keep
held tender in primeval shroud
my love will softly sleep.
I clothe my love in armour strong
protection from the days
no onslaught...

Season am I that nurtures Nature
Toward budding and blooming feature
With wondrous creativity force
Birth-filled showing God as blessings’ Source.

I’m a period for sprouting green leaves
Reverberating harvest of sheaves
Midst vegetation’s abundant reign
Bulbs and crops along fruitful terrain.

See me adorned with daffodils’ glow
Radiating tulips’ fresh show
As avian influx...

Adorned and Adored

Let us adorn 
   our daughters with pearls!
Gifting 
One pearl — so very dearly 
   ocean-made, fresh…
To dress each earlobe
With a radiant luster,
Emphasizing the spirited 
Life-light 
In her glinting,
   mesmerizing eyes…

Then, gather your heart
To proudly place a...

A golden thun'dring tore the winds,
Their swirling portals rent-
As from on far sky-pounding steeds-
Forth from Vahalla sent!

And valor sang majestic hymns
In tribute to Thor's throne,
While galloping, stern, crescendoed now
For lo! Bursts Odin's own!

By steel adorned, those snorting mounts
With frenzied, winged fury
Did shudder Earth in frantic...

A childhood lived apart
from the usual existence,
made innocence more intense;
watching raindrops
from unclosed windows...
while welcoming a shivering skylark!

A moon adorned with dreams
gleamed over shadowy hills,
taking me to their forbidden realm;
and as my little arm stretched out
to reach it...the further it seemed
to move deeply into space,
arousing my...

Searching the twilight horizon
For signs she's on her way
As I anticipate her rising
Have felt like this all day
The cloud begins to gather
Betwixt the sea and sky
I welcome her arrival
She makes my spirit fly
Just as I start to doubt
That tonight she will come out
A delicate glow...

The fireplace is filled
With wondrous Halloween tricks
Hollow pumpkin light
And real witch’s hat with black cats
With a branch to frighten them

Lights adorn mantle
The orange and purple ones
Secure the fireplace
For when it becomes dark out
Fireplace glows with eerie light
