Best Exampled Poems
POETIC BIO
Alliteration,the starting place, alongside
cinquains,apace in time,crystalline
lanterne and rhyme.Inspiration drew forth
footle,broken monoku for a while short
imagist was my style.Sequenced longer
poems metamorphose within this crysallis
changing into ekphrasis.Open,and free to be,
as you see,structured prose poetry.With
cadence and pause,others hear my voice,
aural phrasis now this poet’s choice.
as exampled below
What intimacy is its cause,perhaps
an immaculate conception of words;
too swift to comprehend,see or
recognise.The moment is there
and then is not.Gone with the wind
the seed of idea remains, to
germinate and gestate,fanned by a
mental fragrance of elation.Slowly
self-transcending a word into a phrase,
a sentence to a strophe;a rhyme
rides a waterfall of cadence,
into a chasm of verse. Terse or
long, the sonnet becomes a little song,
struggles to arrive.Thrust forth upon
my page;a bastard-born of pain
A
question
that
never
slumbers
to the end
of hour,
is love exchanging views with
that of why. For both are
never ending, and never
ending are the pupils standing
seamlessly upon an exampled
tulip celebrated and cherished
known to man as female. A
female of whom among us
constitutes as God’s monumental
gift. Oh how thy sleep soundly
in the midst of her pedestals,
breathing in oxygen as
dehydration metamorphose
to liquid tears and unrehearsed
palpitation waltzes about thy
heart. Not even in the remotest
degree that today is of yesterday.
For whom to have known that two
visitors would
long to be
lovers of
love to
the extent
now
being
in
love.

Where do I go from here Jehovah. I have tried and I have not succeed. I did what
you have adviced and failed. I have followed your exampled, and instead I was
ostracized. You have seen my affliction, and you heard my out cried. I am wobbling
in a pit of excrement, and where is my rope. I have done nothing wrong again,and I
am being slaughtered. You have seen the two side on the coin, and why sweet
Jehovah you have not save me. Why per long this saga when every story has an
ending. Why make bad people look righteous, and good people look wicked. I have
beseeched you on matters and I have groped for your advice, and I have follow
them. Then where is my victory, you are "Jehovah God of Army" ,and I have lost the
war.
A Tiny Flag
There rests a tiny flag in my garage,
That will fly from my yard on the 4th of July.
As much as it will stand for Old Glory then,
It will be remembered more for its giver.
The tall sweet man with gentle ways,
Who with three brothers fought for his country,
Who exampled Freedom by living Freedom’s life,
The good son, brother, father and husband.
In his fantasies, he might have wandered somewhere,
But his faith, his love, made him choose to be “free.”
“Free” from the ugliness of some other men,
A man who fought for, and gave reality
To the tiny flag in my garage.

Overnight she grew glomming onto branches of a sparkle tree
The faerie village was gobsmacked, hard pressed to explain.
Had this marvelous castle sprung from the pretty pink bud they had admired so?
Or was the bud now a beautiful full flower inside the castle?
It was a puzzle until their faerie queen came to the window and waved.
The crowd went wild, recognizing her although they had never seen her.
She blew kisses, and they blew kisses. The tree began to shake her leaves.
The leaves fell down, providing them with beauty, hope, and optimism.
Do we get our love from the princess or the tree? A tiny faerie boy asked.
We get our optimism and hope from example replied his sister, Ezmersmarta.
The princess smiled as she watched her subjects laughing, playing, throwing leaves.
Another magical day in her world. Her spaceship castle turned on its engines.
Her subjects looked up and cheered as the castle hovered above the tree.
“Good bye! Good bye!” They yelled, throwing joy and happiness her way.
They understood she had to spread her charisma to other faerie villages,
“The attitude and happiness of the people is exampled by the revered.”

MY EXAMPLE as an EKPHRASIS*

stark sensations
drawn by the simple abstract shapes
* my wide interpretation of EKPHRASIS*extends beyond a piece of art to include the artist ,styles of art,history of art AND MUSIC& similar creativity
Bouts the elder christened Dieric
a painter with a unique trick
Such slender figures,truth to tell
exampled in this painting of Hell*
