Best Cameo Poems

It was not the mountains.. those that dwarf us,
the forests that invited our senses...seduced us to stay.
Nor the oceans whose mass we contained within us,
creatures small and large...some we loved and others feared.

Not,
the floating rain, the clouds...kind or angry,
the sky bright or blackboard black,
the falling...

Summer 



Sabra 
chocolate orange 
Singing taste of tupelo mead 
memories 
still tease and test my thirsty tongue 
I stand in chocolate mint 
Alone...

Yours, the pale-shelled cameo, dear
Moon-skied, Night-worn.
Hung from its pure starred necklace.
Pearls of the high-born!

Of you what's mythic featured
Afar, as dream-lit
Alike within clasping's reach.
Alike to claim it....

Barking
She gets attention
Lucky knows just what to do
For some treats
She begs for me to let her out
Does business, then she returns
Good girl

~Christmas Time Again~
(Cameo)


Christmas
Time is here again
Season of sharing, love, and joy
Wish for peace
Time to be glad Savior was born
Think of others that have less
And give.

A stone font and white duck found it renown
This ancient saxon hill-fort town-
Growing to wealth around its four squares
With regular markets and seasonal fairs
Buying and selling sheep,cattle and mares.

Tribute to my hometown Aylesbury...

Spiritual fruits upon a tree
Ripened,ready for all to see;
Sincere,gentle inwardly kind
Set at one,in a peace-filled mind;
Temperate,diligent and pure
Understanding& perseverance will nurture;
Brotherly love and hope will ensure
An orchard in bloom until mature....

Upon my face of earthenware
So many feet have laid bare
Maiolica wearing thin-
My colours now growing dim
Revealing my kaolin...

Fuel and food for thee & me
To Noah a sign of life
And others ,a symbol to end strife-
A pictorial arbor emblem
To encompass God's kingdom...

Choker,
A velvet ribbon,
Adorned with a sweet cameo.
Old,  Antique,
Valued for it's ancient beauty.
A special gem to pass down.
Priceless.

Visiting Aunt Juanita,
in Pocahontas nursing home,
we met her roommate, 
Jennie Butler.

Jenny loved to tell jokes,
and laughed often.
She sang gospel songs,
her voice filling the air
with sweetness,
as her face reflected joy.

No one would guess
she lay, day after day,
a prisoner to stiffness and pain.
Her hands and feet
were gnarled,...
