Emerald Forests

Emerald forest hiding from man's curse
if found, its never better , always worse.
Wretched destroyers we are in this abode
in our arrogance we are firmly sold.

Greed for taking everything in our path
we in our false pride deliver our wrath.
Astonished that some may in this rebel

Premium Member An Emerald, Most Rare
It was glorious ...

A glorious, glowing morn ...
crimson crept up the sky, as if air-brushed ...
little round globs of fair-weather clouds tiptoed on the reach,
(so as to not wake the moon, laying down its head in the west),
close as cork where heaven met sea ...

But...

Premium Member In Emerald Shadows
Trying to hide in conspicuous places
a night on the town in their false, plastic faces.
Sweetly they sweep through magnificent halls,
top-dollar galas and masquerade balls -- 
where always the wine is more bitter than sweet,
each girl wishing for love in her ruby-clad feet.

Perhaps scarecrows are thoughtful,...

An Emerald Morning

Verdant sylvan shades share, 
      emerald and peridot's glossy glow 
            with Apollo's serene sunrise 

in silent tropic trades as
      I delight...

Premium Member Emerald Isle
The Emerald Isle lies misty green,
an ocean's gem, a land between
the water's edge and blue of sky,
her magic wonders seldom seen.

For those who know her can't deny
although, in truth, they wonder why
the Irish spin their wondrous tales
to friends and strangers, stopping by.

An Irish story never...

Emerald Echoes - Anacreontic Verse

I'm an emerald
echo of earth's
caterpillar, a
camouflaging
hiatus of muse
midst karmic rainstorms.
Enslaved to jealous
stars flaming within 
infernal wings,
I yearn to spellbind
sacred heaven's throne, 
chasing subconscious 
liberty in crowned
soul of marine eyes.
Tracing saffron
fingertips in
silent smokes of
Venus, willingly,  
I've scarred tuscan shine
of Aphrodite
with pearl's thermal ache.
So now, when...

Emerald May
EMERALD MAY

The humble Hawthorne blossom bright
Like snow upon the hedge is seen
Sweet May, is clothed in jade and white
Now winter’s chills are put to flight
The bride of Spring sheds shades of night
And dons a dress of Emerald green
To greet the Sun her Summer Knight
Who bows...

Premium Member Emerald Ocean
I walked to the ocean and my boat
I had not been there in a long time.
Covered in moss I wondered would it float.

The air was perfect the ocean mine.
Huge waves did their dance along the shore.
I had not been there in a long time.

A perfect...

Slamming Ryan Emerald (The Final Assault)
Everyone in the soup chant my name, because I'm bringing another poetic attack.
Ryan, you've had your 5 minutes of fame, now I'm breaking your poetic back!
So you need to be realistic, read your slam, then read mine.
I'm what people call "futuristic," because I'm a poetic...

Emerald and White Gold Stardust
Emerald and White Gold Stardust

-

I placed on you a necklace
of white gold stardust chain
A heart shaped emerald locket
within a moonbeam frame
To glisten as you kiss me
a gleam before my eyes
As brilliant as your smile
beneath these midnight skies
And there inside the locket
engraved for all to see
The...

The Amadawn ‘ave played the joker 
for the Good folks fairy Coort
‘T was they ‘ave egged the paper birches
an’ touch’d the scare crow’s stalks.

They ‘ave giv'n leerin pumpkin ‘eads
to Dullahan black ‘eadless ‘orse.
Tied the liein’ Leprechain’s tongues.
Changed the dread Pooka’s course.

Emerald Iris Sea
In the warmth of your gaze is where I want to be.
On a journey, endless, under the seamless sky…
Lost and adrift in your emerald iris sea.

From the cold bastille of solitude, set me free,
And tear me from the eyes that only want to pry.
In the...

Emerald Shades
Emerald shades

Warmth does fall of wakened skies
Sunbeams frolic ‘pon this ground
Basking deep its soothing lull
Alone of wispy windswept sound

Young butterfly of colors rich
Pastel rainbows flit the wing
Blooms so full and fragrant filled
Affirm the charm this waited spring

Such the beauty ‘fore my eyes
Emerald shades abound this...

Dark heart
Onyx bruises
Madd lover
Entrapment fooling
Swollen lips
Teal tears
Indigo ears
Crying years


Violet prayers
In shelters
Only light
Love weathered
Emerald eyes
Need sleep
Courageous flight
Embracing peace...
