Best Buds Poems

-This buds for you!-
-It takes one to know one!-
-I know you are, but what am I?-

A second hand, on my stopwatch, going nowhere!
You are a joker, a smoker, a midnight stroker  
<-------How, about that, Steve Miller song

I'm not here to talk about the way...

Seedlings drift on cool spring breeze
Gently floating on each gust of wind
 Falling slowly into deep crevices
Touching the fertile earth below
 Branches shed dried remains of winter
Barren trees now enhanced
 by various shades of green
Newly formed buds appear
 Dew drops kiss colored blossoms
The sun beams...

night touches wind, gold

      buds drifting off from laced hems

         in slow procession,

     while twirl of frothy breeze cloaks...

 my desolate autumn view.

buds exploding
on bare branches longing for
spatter of raindrops

Yellow rose buds she requested for her senior prom
Talked about how they would match a satin dress
Did not know where the roses would come from
And, as a young girl of ten, it was anyone’s guess.

Red rose buds she requested be in her bridal bouquet
To be...

I do like European food
Hungary and right in the mood,
I Czech'd the specialty 
And Finnished a Turkey -
O'slo I did eat, t'was so good!

Buds Forever

Shorty was a little dog, 
Curly was too. 
They played every day, 
until there was nothing else to do. 

Rolling on the grass, 
digging up the garden, 
chasing butterflies
and frogs near the pond. 

The days are full, 
of everything important, 
and nothing that is...

PRETTY BLOSSOM BUDS

Plague of bees and bugs buzz then plug on pretty blossom buds
Supple buds' petals suffered black and bruise from bottle break
Bended bulbs bleed beads as their beauty bubbles in blink
A brave boy with bucks blurt bread and butter for the buds

Briefly, without bluff,...

Thick chocolate with a cup of tea

          A silk river of milk
 
   Exploding in my mouth so smooth....

BUDS TO BLOSSOM

         beats, throbs and gets scared

Awaken taste buds  



 Lovely Linda 
 Makes food tasty
 Um um good

Your taste buds won’t 
Be the same 
Chipotle is the one to blame.

Zeekie and Mildred were buds.
Neither thought the other a dud.
Friendship so true.
They each had a tattoo
As symbols of undying love....

L ight of evening arrives on its accord
O pening a mantle for spring’s preview…
V ast the earth toned in rose-white, and though
E ver cold, I roam the garden to admire
L ittle buds waking on dewy mist, while
I llumined stars flame against a pale sky.
N owhere...

I still remember that day when you were a kitten,
You were so small and fit in my hand like a mitten.
I knew when I held you I would raise you,
The love I felt was more than true.
I was with you at my grandma's till I...

Attracted to her since my youth
Like the swerve, sovereignly proud
Of an iron filing towards a magnet,
I had left free the reins of my fantasy  
To let it weave a necklace of poems
To glorify the mystery
I had seen hung around her.
Fear, it was not, when...
