Best Enthrals Poems


Premium Member A Penny For Your Thoughts
It is in the grey of icy evenings
When those dimly-lit wishes seem to fade,
A bitter nip, a woe this season brings
The chafing of hope's ardor, delayed.
Even though I grieve during the passage
Of summer’s festive and vigorous trails
How could I not ponder on this new stage;
As...

Premium Member Meandering Rivers, Streams and Burns
Meandering rivers, streams and burns
Zig zagging, flowing in contour turns

Sparkling waters as pure as can be
Flow through the glens and down to the seas

Much life is found in these translucent waters
Species of fish, and delightful otters

 

Along these rivers, streams and burns
Grow many grasses, trees...

Premium Member L Is For Love
When daddy says wake up my child
And gently shakes my bed
Love is what' felt in my sleepy
state, while lifting heavy head

As mom feeds me warm cereal and milk
Love between us exist
Given a warm bath and clean clothes
Love's tenderness can't resist

Placed in a warm safe place...

My Lady
My lady

I see her face so clearly
Complete without a vice
Her every thought is purity
She comes my way yet thrice

Have seen her in a waking dream
Felt her kindness on me fall
Ageless beauty, peaches cream
Her loving me enthrals

No name, as yet unmet, the lady has
But no cause...

On powdered crystal wings Heaven descends to humbled Earth
Sparkling glimpses of jewelled treasures to some elegant worth
Pure, immaculate white no matter the depth to coming twilight
Billowing through myriads of veils, all fingerprints in first flight

She now dares to fall where she must, from dream in...

Premium Member Valentine By the Fireside Glow
On this February day
All around the world
So many hearts
In so many twirls

Roses and chocolates
Presents of love
There will be joins of two
Like hands in a glove

Candlelit dinners
Champagne on ice
Dressed to impress
Perfumes will entice

Slow ballads play
Whispers in ears
Hands in wander
Saying, i so love you dear

Skins are caressed
As...

A Dedication To My Muse
Precious Lady… my muse
Your words amazing…
But you paint the ideal…
I see it… feel it… broken
I pray… oh how I pray
That what you write
About nature… wildlife…
Oh how I wish was real

I see for myself…
In my locale…
Many wildlife extinctions…
It's not my intention
To spread doom and gloom…
But unless...

Premium Member Welcome To the Twilight Zone
I love the sky as twilight falls
A breathtaking sight to behold
As hundreds of birds take to wing

Birds duck and dive, I hear their calls
From lilac skies now tinged with gold
Loud squawks, it's a shame they can't sing!

Beating wings, bird flight never stalls
As skies darken, night's...

Best Foot Forward
Front-line in depth of mortar
Whistling shells and screams of torture
Blood clot gurgles death bell tolls
Hell of pain in body enthrals
Danger rings apprehension stalls...

Life Haikus
Sometimes leafless tree
looks attractive and scenic
when birds sit on it

The flowerless plant
enthrals everyone when
butterfly flies round 

Waterless river
is even more beautiful
when cute kids play there

Tasteless food items 
sound utterly delicious
when mother feeds us

Impoverished life
bestows happiness on us
when we boast small things...

Premium Member Bibliophiles
When I within your four library walls
Did engage with several books awhile
Your winsome glance, once read, still me enthrals 
And my heart fast  ensnared  was by that smile.

While your look spoke  to me in  rich  volumes
Little did I realise so...

Premium Member My Town
From north, south, east and west 
This is the town to beat the rest,
Where history and present blend
As through its many streets you wend. 

Where once a monastery so great
From every view would dominate,
Where Pilgrims came to pray and sing
To venerate their martyred king. 

Within...

Nothing
Nothing is lovelier than planet earth 
Bar the moon and silvery stars above
Earth is our homeland and we’re free to roam 
This gift made for us with the hands of love.

When sun’s slipping into the horizon
A glorious golden glow meets the eye
I'm positive I've seen...

GENEVIEVE

Notice me
Talk to me; we both wished in secret admiration
Every time I tried; something unseen holds me back
We both waited patiently; time shall fade away
I couldn’t wait on time any longer; I did what I have to do
I did it all; I noticed her, talked...

Balls
Now American football enthrals
There are plays there are tackles and falls
It’s not stagnant or staid
And it’s usually played
By men with oddly shaped balls...
