Best Cl Poems

On paths of frozen ice and snow
With bitter cold air all around
I just seek to know, where to go
To make it work with what I found

To walk quiet, without a sound
Of cracking ice and things I know
Snow piled in burdens by the pound
Waiting for harmonious...

Postmen are the unsung heroes      		
Rain or shine they’re here on time	
Ten out of ten never zeros			
Such respect for postman of mine		
In summer shorts till winter’s clime		
When at dawn my Postman arose		
In snow or rain or warm sunshine		
Strong and fit...

Imagine a perfect garden,
and with all its imperfections;
beauty and decay . . .  its burden,
yet, with lovely recollections !

The bees come and make selections.,
of nectar . . .  buzzing their jargon;
and birds fly from all directions,
and hummers' never say pardon !

for you are my BREVITY MUSE,
the deep metaphors i searched for-
the rhythm to your heart i shan’t lose,
(love, it’s your verses i adore)

coalesced by the vows we swore
under the autumn crimson hues-
depth of my rhyme you did restore…
for our bodies and souls did fuse

Sue loved to style her auburn hair, 
and adorn it with a cute bow.
 
Then cancer struck, life’s so unfair -
treatment meant her long locks would go. 

She hoped in time new hair would grow, 
as baldness may cause folk to stare. 

Sue now wears a pretty...

The city lights of neon flash
 To dull sounds of the traffic flow
 Upon the sidewalks footsteps crash
 As people bustle to and fro

 A city that never moves slow
 For time is money, in cold cash
 Getting caught in its neon glow
  They...

The moon rose quick to kiss the east

          And blushed its cheeks in rosy rhyme

               Drew back the starry-curtained feast

Her plight a tragic tale of woe
Confined to solitary cell
She cried because she didn't know
If folks would ever know her hell

One night it happened that she fell
It seemed at first a mortal blow...
Yet daily she recovered well
~ Released to wedding bells, she glowed

citrine Indian summer sigh 
as blue skies turn a jealous green

dusty weft wind and hours drew nigh
idyllic of seasons has seen

a wanderer of aged mirth, glean
quintessence honey set awry

underneath spun amorous scene 
of sweet scent tease, not a goodbye

I've always been a simple man
But all  of that is long before
I found her name is Mary Ann
And she reads poems by the shore

I have written poems galore -
I'll write a sonnet in the sand
Then she will see down in my core
That I am...

Robins are a delight to see
When winter snow is almost gone
To see them chirp and bounce with glee
And hear songbirds singing at dawn

An eagle soars, mighty and brawn
Flying, circling the sky so free
Feeders full, hummingbirds are drawn
Bird watching is joyous to me

A wayside plant nobody cared,
bloomed a forlorn flower in spring.
In glint of petals your face flared,
like motif on butterfly wing.

At the edge of instinct luring,
lancet of desire I’d unbared,
plucked the flower on joyful swing,
it saw my inside die unspared.

Deceitful

All deceitful persons tell tales,
Do not believe them, words to heed,
It is their constant, never fails,
Tell untruths is their basic creed.

Unearth descendants evil breed,
Traverse the ages in details,
That was planted, a wicked seed,
Outrage reflects their wayward trails.

The sun above us in the sky
provides for life on earth each day.
It’s like a big hot apple pie
that shines a slice of warmth our way.

We thank God for each streaming ray
that awakens the morning eye.
In sleep, in work, in rest and play
the smiling old...
