Best Bronze Poems

Once a bronze blossom shone so sophisticatedly.
Flourishing in an oasis of tropical butterflies.
Its aura would emanate from enigmatic auroras.
Its roots nourished from the scents of petrichor.

Admirers would gather to gaze at such grandeur,
oblivious of poppies among common roses,
so the jealous sun in its narcissistic loneliness,
blazed with...

My schooner eases
into the tiger claw
that an umber peninsula
juts seaward.
The carnelian bay 
beckons like honey
as I aim
for twilight's tangerine
and sun's waning citrine
in amber haze.
Papaya clouds whipped
by solar winds
breathe the siren lure
of bronze oceans
in the scriptural future
to my restless golden heart.

I’ve unfurled the Southern Cross tonight and put it
On the wall, and as I gazed the longest while.. I thought I heard the
dingo’s call?  It couldn’t be as all
Round me were the sounds of London going down'
Then I thought again of scenes that had
Made...

Bronze, silver and gold
Caught in the sun so light
The momentous reveal of every fight
Wishes we are never told

Caught in the sun so light
Bronze faces contrite
Wishes we are never told
Faces much too bold

Bronze faces contrite
Compared to crinkled green notes
Wishes we are never told
Survival’s fight

Compared to crinkled...

The Old Straight Track climbs up towards the ridge,
A tangent to this ancient burial ground
Where Bronze Age bodies slumber under mounds;
In number, nine, each barrow with a ditch.

Who were these folk that lie beneath this field –
Hunter-gatherer, warrior, father, son ?
Side by side in death...

BRONZE BEAUTY


Blighted inside the eyes of the ones who are blind
Rusted and marred but remarkable in my mind
Obliterated beyond repair, but extreme charm I find
No one can see the potential I see while inclined
Zesty and raggedy with a strange history...

Seasonal beauty still seen

Drifting, drifting down...

From Heaven's height there was lucent light  
Spectacular skies in a sanguine sunrise 
Where peace prevails and men set sails    
Upon swirling seas with a balmy breeze  
Dawn displays these dappled days  
With a florid flush of soft bronze...

I hate bronze
Do not bosa nosa with silver
Win the gold
The neglected stone 
And my heart forever...

The siren wailed
The time for killing
Had begun
Let us board our choppers
Go to war
Finish it
Until it is done
 
I cannot hide 
My dread
For, I knew the odds
So many of my friends...
Are dead
 
Will this be me?
I can, only survive
My training
Carries me through
To manage fear
To stay alive...

Olympic Medals

I dislike bragging
But once I won a Bronze medal
For running
Sixty metre
I wore the medal
Every day 
And when going to bed
Put it under 
My pillow. 
One day it was not there
I think my brother
Took it 
It was found behind the bookshelf
Yes, we only had one
10...

fine, faintly flickering face,
 a goddess' gilded grimace;
  eyes sharp, slightly squinting,
   lips pursed, concentrating;
    arms strained, straight, steady,
     inch by inch, pulling in the cord,
      pushing away at the...
