Best Decorously Poems

Now I lay me down to sleep, 
I’m feverishly counting sheep …
Hoping that the perfect number 
Rewards me with a dreamless slumber.

Envisioning the sylvan state, 
I close my eyes and concentrate 
On willing ev’ry fuzzy shape 
To leap in order through the gate.  

I...

"Nine Inch Nails, Ten Pins and the Purl Stitch"



She takes the cake 
they offer, chewing too rapidly, 
she Shrews when she speaks 
I’ll beat warpath drums, she says, 
no mistake

I’m a groper ... goody two shoes
she says

mouth wide open
songs problematic 
she's done and she's gone

I will begin my story with this concise summary,
Of the amazing things that have happened to me;

After I had lost a home, where I'd lived my life long,
So they could build a highway, for the busy throng!

The city had emminent domain, and so it was...

A lady who once touched my mind 
in ways I could not decorously describe,
because she did so from afar
through her thoughts and words that shined like stars.

She wrote of love and hate and war
of mysterious mermaids and opening doors,  
to moonlight magic and midnight...

Welcome, welcome my dear friends!
Come join me in my bower.
Lavender, lovely and luscious am I,
A most seductive flower.

My pendulous blooms they dangle,
Like grapes upon a vine.
Clusters of purple decorously draping,
A gazebo or fence line.

Come imbibe my heady fragrance,
As it wends through the warm Spring air.
Let...

Actually, I am not a good forecaster
And She was not that good forecaster
Audibly none is that perfect worthily
Adducing, we all are artists worthily.

But she did not know well to count
Boldly, to count meteor’s step out.
Bustle, it came and took her wholly
Wholly handing her tickling beauty.

Cruelly,...

Women dipped in inks.
Images from a cogged box.

A camera reveals
hips and ankles, ribbons
decorously draped
over a contrived modesty.

An artist has added a color tint,
their cheeks are rosy,
their lips red,
a patchwork of painted glow.

Pauses in an upper room.
A warm lamp licks,

feathers and brocade are adjusted,
the girls choreograph

Images from a cogged apparatus.
Fingertips toggle milled brass
abreast a concertinaing leather.
Tripodal spread, pegged legs.

Women paused in pose,
a gilded stillness.
A plump bosom peek-show.
Wide-open lens revealing
knee’s, and ankles, 
silky ribbons; lace decorously draped
over a connivance of modesty.

A gentleman photographer
throws a dark curtain over 
his head.
The models are...

I live in a city that has a soul,
He talks to us as we walk,
Just be quiet and listen a little,
The stories of the city are about everything.

It's good to walk around Novosibirsk,
Trees stand decorously along the street.
You go and see the City look,
Which looks...

The sky is news-worthy
the day brightly published,
up-town where the trees live
sunshine plays in the streets.

Later, in the wild-walking cities
there will be donuts;
racers will twirl while they hurl
rubber into smoking halo's,
but here in suburbia
only recycled and ritual sins
are dumped decorously
into well-kept trash bins.

The air is clear...

Stubbs Park is decorously rampant,
its paths scamper here and there
like unruly children.

Perhaps its topographical language
once spoke of bridges 
for the landscapers have run riot
planting arching spans
between and over 
many of its hillocks and humps.

If you are in meditative mood,
these diminutive bridges
can lead you away and...

Beneath the tender kiss
she is curled around a log-fire of lust.
Her eyes reveal, and yet she masks that heat
with a smile.

Lips tenderly caress, decorously suggest -
but only so much
they attest not to that delicate beast of her longing
nor the fierce face of desire;

just a sweet...

Happy shiny tummy courtesy...I REM ember in place of stipend

An appetizer, essentially an
out of this world guacamole
quasi Neptune salad,
regarding self taught cook
earning prized counterpart
five Michelin stars,
when the missus artfully, carefully,
cannily, decorously, deftly,
and happily prepared

for her favorite buzzfeeding nincompoop

We Who Loved America (first part)

It was a humid August evening in 1958
when the cargo ship
I served as a galley helper docked in NEW York
I was mesmerized by the tall buildings
the tallest building at home had four floors
in the evening, the chief steward took us...
