Best Clustering Poems

Rodents can be loquacious
That includes your average gerbil
They love to prattle, chat and blather
They really are quite verbal

Hamsters are talkative too
Just as garrulous as can be
With running mouth and wheel to match
They are a sight to see

But I am loath to squander words
Sparing usage is...

Between the trees tall figures

Sisters hidden by perfect mirrors

Behind shivering trees pale and drawn

Shadows snicker at glories dawn



Fairies draw near flickering sheer petal wings

By quivering glimmer perfect mirrors swing

A verdant sea of cushion ferns and bushes

Admiring absolute spring beauty wishes



A magical playful fairy

Crowning grace

Streaming lace

The Land Where the Lemon-Trees Flower

I know the land where the lemon-trees flower,
where citrus fragrance lingers after a summer shower.
In sun-sweetened India, lemon-trees radiantly bloom,
flourishing unfazed by tropical monsoon’s gloom. 

Glistening with dew drops, greeting each sunrise,
lemon-trees thrive beneath heaven's azure skies.

Exquisite five-petaled flowers of...

"Backhand"



You have turned me
inside out, cut open
like a tennis ball
I used to beat backhand
along with the racket
hard against the garage wall

To make sense of it all
as a child, the grief stolen
all too swiftly and replaced 
by the caretaking seeds planted
where grew the weeds, to newly...

“Poetry is eternal graffiti written in the heart of everyone.” — Lawrence Ferlinghetti


When starlings were swimming in the azure lake
When bats and owls began their nocturnal ride
When all the Earth under a dark blanket lay
My Muse, like a sweet temptress, came to me
To set this...

That's a long way from sighing freely
just one calm brushstroke
wrapped in a sea of tranquility
to suit phantom clustering to occur

         soundless groans of despair
         permeate deeply below
         vacant plenty and lots of depth
       ...

The caged bird sings with a fearful trill, of things unknown, but longed for still, and his tune is heard on the distant hill, for the caged bird sings of freedom-
Maya Angelou


Reality may be a poetic cocktail of pistachio and pecan,
yet it tastes the same...

A
dying
scarlet sun,
bleeds upon pink
cotton candy clouds
clustering at Earth's edge,
as though tethered to the night.
Twilight starts unveiling the stars
now twinkling-like faceted diamonds
and moonbeams gild indigo waters gold.
Muting all but one lonely cricket's chirp,
silence imbues each shifting shadow
with a growing feeling of dread.
And a dark curtain descends
until...

"Vibrationary Roadkill High Beam "  

You look at a screen,
it’s like you’re driving
you know, full speed, 
there you are planted 

firmly 
behind the wheel,

the windscreen wipers 
are swiping bugs and crap 
off the page and there 
for once in your life, 

you focus
full beam...

REFRAINS OF WINTER SONATA


When fallen brown leaves brush a sepia picturesque 
and the bubbly breeze blows a heated winter sonata,
the giant roses of clouds are teased, they shed
icy petals tumbling, drifting like little ballerinas

dropping to rest on branches of trees, grasses, houses
and down to window...

At the end of my tunnel I use to see the light.
It was built not with rock but with thick vines green and bright.

I could see my path it was there I always walked,
sometimes I would sit and think, listen as plants talked.

Sweet peas, marigolds...

Setting apart her world outside..
Clustering stars brilliantly, they shine
Holy the sacred vile harmonious his meridian
Angel greetings from afar bejeweled a child's palette
Northern lights their passing comets; splendour's colours
She swirls these gypsy moths so gather such, quantum dreams....

That's not MY elephant!
A spiteful conceited elephant that ran away from the circus
MY elephant provides copies of the Bill Of Rights to all 2nd graders in Macon County
Considers fund-raising possibilities of selling elephant ears at Zippy Zoo Days
The kids will bring their white elephants and...

In the numinous nebulous clustering clouds
The sacred soul of man in creation
Within the homogeneous hemispheres of consciousness
A sapient spark in consummation

Thrown thru subatomic space and temporal time
Inhabiting the jewels of the Heavenly sphere
The jaded journey of man in its molding
Binary building blocks within the Earths...

a seasonal haste captured me 
in the mist of toiled follies 
and meaningful gestures 
i'd yet to foretell 

a heavenly hint of paradise 
beyond the garden gates 
faint notions aroused 
my melancholy mind
 
offering jaded scores 
amid the calm hues beckoning 
my inner warmth i...
