Best Composing Poems
Composing Destiny
I dream poetry;
I breathe poetry, for poetry
calls your name, feeling your
inerrant essentia—
your soul bleeds into mine—
a collision of cosmos,
diffused magnetically, once
a vagrant in a haze of miasmic
vapors—wildered and exposed—
you unshackled me from
this purgatory;
inversely immersing me in
your sphere of solace, and
blooming artistry,
lulling the vast polarities
splintering each...

Composing Opalescent
"Composing Opalescent"
Together we arrive
Composing opalescent
blue-green green-blue
jaded oceans submerged
then rising from great waves
thrashing in on our storm
we are united mast-held and entranced
entwined limbs bathed in sensuality's
St Elmos Fire hitting our sharpest peak
in the milky creamy way our skin meets
under silver shadows casting fire
like lightning dazzles lines another
language in code...

I'M Composing Myself For Christmas
I’M COMPOSING MYSELF FOR CHRISTMAS
I’ve done all my Christmas CHOPIN
And got everything on my LISZT.
All in all I’ve been frightfully BIZET
And the Christmas break will be BLISS.
I’m away to the VILLA-LOBOS,
In HAYDN until New Year’s Day,
With a girl in my arms who’s mad about BRAHMS
And the note on the HANDEL will say,
“For GOUNOD’S sake do...

Cemeteries as themes
Certainty of s a d words
Crypts, tombs and vaults for sure
Creaking gates s q u e a k and groan
Captive of the long dead
Caressing ghosts that love

Composing Breath
What words are they that say my love for you?
The knot that tightens deep inside of me
And leaves me longing for our love to be,
Then turns away avoiding your adieu.
I wish to say I love the things you do,
Your sweetness like incense to make me high,
For loving you is now a reason why,
A burning passion...

Sonnet
Poet
Wandering in a love song
Dreaming of his hearts embrace
The Troubadour sings
"Raison d' etre"
While stars cast a lonely moon's tune
Where darkness shields his fate
As wind is to rain, his sadness
Blows tears to the ground and falls
Like heavy roaring
Thundering skies crash
While his lyric silences soft
The Troubadour sings

Composing
As I gently hold your rounded body
close to my chest you see through me to read
the tablature in my heart and feel the beat
emanating from it;
composing
involuntarily I shut my eyes
to braille read you with my calloused left hand finger tips
as it moves up and down the fret board
caressing your long giraffe neck;...

Composing Songs
Which key should I put this song in?
I sing in G Ionian/major comfortably,
Likewise the relative E Aeolian/minor scale.
Plus those guitar chords are easy as sin.
I could choose a scale that’s more exotic -
D Mixolydian has the same notes and chords.
Hungarian or Roumanian minor, Spanish Gypsy.
Or another scale derived from minor harmonic.
Keep it simple – let’s...

Use For Composing Poems With
Some parts of poem to think about using in other poems.
Mention Apprehension
What I really had been meaning to mention,
Is that when there is a lot of apprehension,
May bother,
Each other,
And always affected by all the pretension.

With deep regret mind was set
And worse yet was deep in debt.
Hemisphere had been here year by year.

Prayer For Composing a New Day
Good morning, Lord... another day...
a clear, new page before me
to scribble and doodle on, to fill as I wish
while I think, pray, work, play, decide, act...
but, most of all...while I love.
By night I'll have it filled for sure.
Just one thing, Lord.
I hope among the scattered scribbles,
the dilly-dally doodles...
something amazing and creative will emerge
that reflects your...

Composing a Lipogram
You may think that writing
is dysfunctional-
to script a thought not using
that sign of ABCs post-D.
This art that's built of words
is inspiration-bound;
finding worthy, optional picks
not sounding lordly.
It is most frustrating
to omit that sign-
manipulating, controlling
word forms in a satisfying way.
Committing to construction-
painfully choosing-
discarding- to find again-
class vocabulary to display.
A...

As I sit
here in the ESL lab
In my mind
I enter Middle Earth
The terrain is familiiar
to throngs of people
Yet there is always something
new to discover
I can hear the sining
of the elves
