Best Brisk Poems
Brisk Cold Winds of OctoberThe threshing floor divides the brisk cold winds
and too gentle zephyr of mortality.
I choose the rose-red blush where death rescinds.
My mind reels with the thrill of whiteout blinds
buffeted by green field sentimentality.
The threshing floor divides the brisk cold winds.
Exciting the throng, leather football winds.
Gruff padded...

BriskIt's another Sunday morning
Almost Thanksgiving and brisk
Dontcha just love optimists
Brisk
The sun is shining
The rhody's leaves are wide open
Clouds are everywhere
Trying their damndest to thwart the sun
The blue patches are spreading rapidly
Puddles from last nights storm
Reflect the coming brightness
A few still clinging maple leaves
Shiver...

Narrative
Brisk WalkingAfford the time:
Bring body-mind;
Reveal swift chimes,
Indulge feet finds;
Sense pulse that moves,
Keep fitness scheme.
Walk and fit grooves,
Arrive full steam;
Learn to let go,
Keep feet stretching.
Hurl and then flow,
Ends fit sweating;
Rich pulse filling,
Etch happenings.

Brisk WalkingHe came into this world holding nothing more than his hand high
His voice sounded erupted upon the ceiling in a thunderous cry
While every muscle tensed from his forehead to the bottom of his thigh
This boy, soon the man,would experience what this world would deny

Brisk Autumn NightStepping out onto the not-so-bustling street,
I feel a cold nip in the air radiate a shiver down my spine.
There is an emptiness to the evening.
It is an emptiness one experiences on a brisk autumn evening.
The ambiance is muffled and static.
Hardly a whisper could be heard...

Brisk WalkingThe air is here, whistling
Gently brushes my eyes
And twirls about to sing.
The grass is spritely and soft
While bluebells sip froth's juice,
Till petals glide aloft.
I race on fields undone;
With rhythm on my toes
Sweeping a frolic run.
This morning sway so sweet
Like chorus of dawn's hymn
In time with...

Brisk Man From JaipurTwo men tall,
one from here
and one from there,
in raincoats
at a bus stop,
pace and stare.
One of them
is soaked in tea,
brisk man from Jaipur
who semaphores
an anthracitic glare.
To barter for a smile
an alien’s obeisance
he, no fawn,
refuses.
The other man,
white cane and dog,
doesn’t seem to...

O Twilight BriskA brash bright sun of lily snow, a ray
of rainbow charm! His shadow form would pass —
gray moon with soulful past, waist bows to pray.
No luck — this chump — lays dandy cloak for lass.
Both braids to climb, not charming work...

brisk REVELANT -
Heart full filled with sweet
belle of the ball
dish in the sink
amongst the china
peach of the bowl
embraceable
sweet nectar luster divine
simply tart
brisk REVELANT
for children young at

Ode To AutumnDancing leaves
Swaying trees
Autumn time is here
Air is crisp
Wind is brisk
Gusts from far and near
Leaves fall steady
Like confetti
Faster than they grew
Gold and brown
All around
Moist from morning dew
Harvests high
Wheat and rye
Squash and pumpkins accrued
Blackbirds flee
Squirrels spree
Storing winter food
Scads of fun
In gentle sun
Best time of the year
Dancing...

Love Songs On a Bike, In the Cold, and At NightI was listening to some songs of love
On my way home from work
It was dark
And cold
I just had my little phone flashlight
No coat
And about two miles of hills ahead of me
And it turns out
When you ride your bike
In the cold
With songs of love
And at night
They...
