Best Around Poems

around the corner...just!

light brilliant...trees freshly brushed...
a breeze meandering through the grass...
a baby blue sky, an occasional cloud shaped and reshaped,
...a waterfall roars like a lion...its spray soft as a lamb.

around the corner...Just

a lovers breath against my neck...a lover's lies,
an ego lift...a seat on that pedestal...

As I walk downtown I see an alley 
Where a black cat sat staring up at me,
The sound of her purring was so soothing 
Lulled and hypnotized me how could that be.

With its green eyes lightning up the darkness 
I saw a sign was hanging...

Spring bows to thrill of cayenne summer,    
dreams spiced in youthful glow come May.
Bright ribbons wake my bare feet’s slumber. 
Spring bows to thrill of cayenne summer!
Rainbows pleat dance, no clouds encumber 
my twirling limbs, life's weaved sashay. 
Spring bows to thrill...

Awaking blithe each morning,
with eyes upon the World,
I wonder, are we mourning
with ebon flags unfurled –
or are they but a warning,
some draped like snakes and curled,
stray stars and stripes adorning,
sent from the netherworld.

I wander through the garden
with nothing on my mind
and say 'I beg your...

I remember once dating a clown
In the sack he was such a let down
He was missing one ball
And his todger was small
It’s no wonder that he wore a frown!

don't do me a favor
by reading my rhyme
don't be insincere 
when you write me a line

don't visit my writing
though I ask you why
"To repay a visit!"
now, don't make me cry!

don't come around, darling
just out of respect
I'd rather prefer
your honest neglect

don't give me a tribute
if poem's...

I’m sick of hearing from old Bill that I’m a whimpish sort of bloke,
Because I don’t care for rodeo’s and can’t relate to outback folk,
That I prefer to travel in a car, when I go from A to B,
When I should be riding horses like...

Love,
our most
precious gift,
helps our world turn
with stronger heartbeats.
Reach out to help dear friends;
stretch arms to embrace loved ones.
Greet strangers with that happy smile;
branch out to spend time with the lonesome.
Our love...the strength that turns the world around.

Our love...the strength that turns the world around.
But earth's...

Your warmth 
Spread it all around!
When the world feels cold 
To the touch

Your beautiful shining spirit
Spread it all around!
So a dim world shines 
Just as bright

Your happiness
Spread it all around!
In this sad world and give it
A smiling face

Your knowledge
Spread it all around!
To enlighten, to inform
To...

How beautiful the snow sparkles tonight like tiny little gems. 
As the moonlight shines down so peacefully on them. 
The stars how they twinkle so softly..what a sight. 
Such a wondrous beauty I behold in the Heavens tonight. 

I sit in awe of the stillness...

“Throw Kindness around like confetti” (motto attributed to Kate Spade)

Throw kindness around like confetti.
Find chances wherever you go.
There's no act of kindness that’s petty
when light of your love you let show.

Confetti at parties and weddings
is celebratory and fun.
Let’s celebrate life in all settings -
from morning...

Rising from the fire like a phoenix;
hot cinders morph into crimson darts.
And shadows mark the fringes of light,
extinguishing all unwary sparks.

Scarlet splashes in the molten flames
as cerise and chartreuse ride the waves.
And all eyes follow their rhythmic flow;
for their hypnotic beauty enslaves.

Bursts of laughter and...

Maybe the most deadly disease is just around our corner
Carried to our doorstep by an unsuspected foreigner
Ebola is lethal with a fatality rate that is extremely high
If infected you have a 70% probability that you will die
 
Incubation period can span from one to forty...

Around the corner (20141010)

What’s around the corner?
What’s just beyond our view,
For the soldier and the foreigner,
What’s ahead for me and you?
Two terribly tired turtles
Which wearily weathered wars,
Survived cyclical separations, 
Regretfully raised rebellious rascals.
Seemingly securely safe-shelled,
Ironically intently imagining inside
Future failures, follies, fallouts
Won’t waste, wreck, wipe-out their...
