Best Adumbrate Poems

Thinking of you I’m painting of love
Ascribing endearing brushstrokes
Ambivalent of my reach to inform
As I adumbrate upon soul’s canvas

Come build this portrait with me
Emblazon those empty spaces
Color them boldly as you please
Embolden contours of your wishes

And when your heartbeats speak
Indulge them in enamored feelings
Savoring love’s...

				Lux Nova
			(after Notre Dame)

The light at Suger's
	 St. Denis
precursor for mighty Notre Dame
Paints both floors in color.
Transliterated from the glass of guilds
	Tracery and mullions 
Adumbrate
A story in late winter's light
Perhaps enough, barely enough
	Enough of an outline...

Still, colors bleed
Onto freshly scrubbed floors and
Sing in their own...

 The stars of society,
 great notion once did scintillate;
 their glow burned too fast,
 ash, cinder, sloth, agnominate;
 what, gifted fate's skewers,
 sole reply, a dross adumbrate;
 life, guts all souls;
 death's head did spirit ablaqueate.

 Court not, the rule in justice,
 culpability...

The effervescent glow my smitten eyes ingratiate
The duplicitous shadow your intentions obfuscate

The sparkling twinkle my collateral dreams exfoliate
The superficial glare my residual doubts accentuate

A momentary blink doth my pensive libido inflate
Subsequent roll of your eyes, my fantasies obliterate

An inquisitive glance; a silted pathway doth emanate
Your...

Battery (for Hyundai Sonata) Needed Today

Frugality worn by fiat generated
by alternate fickle finger of fate,
the plus side being said vehicle
parked here in public Salem's lot,
where I live with said diabolical mate

at highland manor apartments
penury run me underground in potter's
grave adversity doth unfortunately accelerate
curse to finance...

Reflecting On Thy Long Doggone Pooch -
"Georgie Harris"

At present moment thoughts adrift,
     whereat figurative throne,
     this chap doth 
     emotionally abdicate
no particular reason finds me

Mine gerund farming, tilling, and harvesting illogical weltanschauung

Twas accursed destiny
since birth (maybe coded in
deoxyribonucleic acid  
since time immemorial) alas and alack
nascent emasculation abominable barrack
emergent deus ex machina,
one common Joe biden his time
for no particular
rhyme nor reason
revisiting mine days of yore, 
when protectiveness courtesy

Latin is abstruse whilst the learning battle ceased

Though as theorist thinkers, found a language lost,

Opaque it all may seem, but it’s merely just a dream 

Then I’ll circumvent some adumbrate at least.


Impetuous the urge I ask to detail verse for you- 

Meticulous does Latin sound,...

A wandering soul lost in her own fantasies
Not interested in cruel world of enmity
In search of her own sunshine
Against the unfair realities...

Neither afraid nor pressurised
Belongs to a unique women's tribe
An example of living on her own terms
Nothing's bad living this way, So she doesn't hide...

Get out your sponges, stippling brushes and pens,
It’s time for makeover-Monday-night to begin.
Think Winky Lux, L’Oréal, Urban Decay,
Maybelline, Armani and Fabergé

It’s a black magic realm where brushes are wands,
where a carnival of colors are carefully crayoned.
We have palettes aplenty, in kaleidoscope hues,
to create fashion looks,...

The neural spark
is ill-defined, a cloud of unknowing.

Nothing begins anywhere.
The tail of the snake
is its neck.
The body grows out of its closed eyes.

An uncertain vapor trail
sheds hieroglyphic fragments,
they could be words,

or only

the residual cooling of a brief potency,
a fast-evaporating speculation
now only a dilatorily dripping
from its...

On the porch, stars circle a shrinking sky.
A great adumbrate crown of clouds,
has left just a small pond of night lights.

"Look, there goes a pig chasing a cow!"
She traces invisible lines with her finger.

I see a dragon snapping at a rat,
but I guess the view,
depends...

Over our collective figurative eyes commander in chief pulls wool...

because you watch
and see that democracy will unspool
military (intelligent)
industrial complex tool
at Trump's beck and call,
where hardened soldiers
train the crosshairs of their firearms
against innocent bystanders,
especially targeting
supposedly nonestablishmentarians
(like this rebel without a clause),
who embraces win/win conflict resolution
shouting thru...
