Best Diminished Hexaverse Poems

Magical moonbeams
Sparkling like silver
On an inky sea
I watch them dancing
Captivatingly

 
Bright mystic moon
Shining each night
Waxes and wanes
Controlling tides

Silver orb
Shines above
constantly

I love
A clear

Night

Dream schemes play across the screen
And third eye examines them,
Ever so closely; tonight,
Another etheric flight;
Will show me new horizons
And the beings that dwell there;
The archetypes and images.

Scenes play out in colors,
Shadows weave their magic;
I am inundated.
Visiting spirits came,
Just to bid me adieu;
My guides know what...

Splendiferous skies
Sunflower sunrise
haystacks of lilacs
pastel daisies play
with robins and jays

fragrant grass finds
bunny behinds
cotton lambs coo
earth's lush rebirth

a spring dream
until my
face hits a

clinging
bug filled

A black cloud dangles
Effortlessly forms
A haunting image
Showers travel east
Daisy hides her face.

A Robin sings
A melody
The sun appears
Once more she smiles.

Grass uncoils
Raindrops dry
Web retracts.

Sunset
Moon beam.

Stars.

The intricate web
Of life has been spun;
It’s twists and turns hold,
Keys to our very
Existence on Earth.

How we are formed,
Born, survive and 
Die and purpose,
In life’s grand scheme.

Together,
We create;
Colorscape.

People buy pictures
They have a notion
That they are owners
But actually
The pictures own them. 
They will outlive
Or outlast them
They are only
Custodians.
They purchase
Pyramid,
Art will live.
And they...
Pharaohs:
Dead.

Hope

Life has challenges…
Confront them each day
Some have good endings
Some can cause despair
They are always there

Our perception
Is the answer
Of how we feel
About outcomes

Do we see
Half-empty
Or half-full?

Our glass
Holds the

Hope

Recollections waft
across my mind like
wisps of soft white spores - 
the vague remnants of
my memory’s threads.

Spring’s sun-gold heads
I now can‘t hold!
But glimpsing them,
I can recall. . ..

a young girl
blowing fluff
and wishing

time would
quickly 

pass.

I am a blank page,
   I need some color,
  On this dull paper,
   To awaken me,
  So folk can read me,

  Use a bright red,
   Use yellow too,
    Use a dark blue,

As the last sun sets
and life ebbs away,
ugly words and deeds
flash across his mind
and he feels ashamed.

Bitter tears flow
into the mire
of squandered time
he can't redeem.

His eyes dim
as he begs 
forgiveness.

God hears -
At last

Peace.

Cunning seducer
Your presence beguiles
I taste your fever
My body complies
Good intentions die

Dare not touch me
For I shall fall
Where angels fly
And hell is nigh

Oh to taste
Faulted grace
Tempt me not

Too late
My fate

Flawed ...

We gape at the sky
this Fourth of July,
as rockets ignite
to deal us delight,
while strangers unite.

I’m such a dope,
it gives me hope
that Nations torn
can be reborn.

Let God’s gifts
heal our rifts,
our esprit.

Let’s pray
we stay

free.

a whiff of the most
extraordinary
elusive fragrance,
a titillating
and yet, subtle smell

Sol’s caresses
linger longer,
His tactile touch
tender and warm

songbirds sing
snowmen slouch,
snowdrops sprout.

all signs
point to

spring

As a spent-sun sets
ebony shadows
merge with silhouettes;
penciled in the rough
by a charcoal dusk.


A chilled, brisk breeze
makes me shudder;
for I feel its
breath on my face.

A loan wolf
and cricket
haunt the night;

and the
air smells

sweet!...
