Best Cheekily Poems

Slowly spring sun caresses the land
As kowhais will softly provoke 
Flushes of yellow to gently expand
Their buds of the season uncloak
Helping bellbirds escape from winter’s last choke.

Methodical beats of wood pigeon wings
Whoosh thru the quiet spring air.
Melodious trills as tuis’s sweetly sing
Fantails flitter, with hardly...

Slip
wine lips
like
the French
Tongue tango
angst of
sighs
Deep and
silky soft
Wet-whisper gust 
tickles ear
with warmth
Sip
goblets
cheekily
Thirst lost
in
crimson 
dusk

Sometime last night, resting
inside of my home
I heard a voice singing(?!)
I was not alone

Not sure what to do
I just tried to ignore...
But he went on for hours
in unwelcome encore

Oh, that freaky falsetto 
went on for so long
in a shrill, shrieking, trembling
annoying song

That at last, I...

How Are You Feeling? I

I feel yellow to-day.
I feel as playful as a child’s “Do you like butter?”
	amid a field of yellow, waving buttercups.
I feel as naughty as the spiky haired, boldly invading	
	dandelion’s yellow head, nodding cheekily in the yard.
I feel as pucker up and...

Anna Redmond put her own death in the Irish Independent as a mischief - or maybe ‘a cry 
for help’.  She married into Mr. Webster’s hotel and worked there slave-like.  Her beautiful 
young face, her red hair streaming, cheekily curling, her laughter eyes...

It is now ten minutes past noon,
So, I can wish you a good afternoon,
The clouds are gracefully displaying,
Whatever an artist imagines,
 But my production manager is glaring,
Say your bit quick he mouths me,
Cheekily I replied, ‘let me be’,
I take a deep breath, and the sun
Peeps...

Tidal flats reveal their light grey heads
They replacing green-grey sea in dots and dashes on the horizon,
They toy cheekily with the extracted tide, enjoying their dry sun bathing
An island of ginger sand, void of seabirds, spoils the sea-mud horizon
The tide stands poised, ready for its...

he had often aspired to being a jester
the wise one of Tarot land
cheekily dressed with wit on his lips

as of late he has been caught up
in irreverent lies and half-truths
tossed at him in anger and drunken inhibition
and his glittery clothes soaked them up for a...

It’s the cheeky hair,
It’s the cheeky dimples,
It’s the cheeky smile,
It’s the cheeky look,
As you cheekily do something cheeky,

You can tell he has been out with Daddy – he is wearing his cheeky face...

Mermaids
The other mermaid?
Don´t you ask me about her, 
she wore a tight dress and
was in love with a rich man
who had a big swimming pool. 
 Sourly her glossy lips 
Open disdain 
of my shower unit   
 But my rubber duck she cheekily...

Marching with madness, maniacal, music

Artfully agile and awfully active

Gyrating, gravitation, grungy goo

Imagine the imagery intervening interest

Children causing chaotic confusion

 

Melodies making the most of magical moments

Admiring authentic adventurous appeal

Gracefully, gently, goofily gigantic 

Ice-Cream inspection, innocent ideal

Cascading, celebrations, cheekily cheerful...

cuz poisonous toxins sting like scorpions
