Best Exclaiming Poems

 Wind-driven, deceptive, mysterious,
cries vixen's pulsating, debauchery
with haunting arias, mesmerizing!
The lighthouse, fearlessly, captivated,
by siren's symphonic orchestrations 
shines brighter, exclaiming calamity!
She cautions vigilant navigators...
fog's mirage masquerades mortality!..

after Ivan's wake, later that night while I slept,
 I had a dream..........

suddenly! I was in a parking garage below ground,
it was dark and oil-greasy, I was standing near a car,
a big old four-door

 and on the other side of the car   ...

i am a possibility
of many possibilities
i am a ratio
an indecisive factor
in the rest of what this dimension has to offer

the world is a top
i spin it and predict the probability
that the end will equal the means
or perhaps surpass it
even if i never surpass this muck-up
these...

There once came a day
when the world took flight
('twas only a handful
who gaped at the sight)
For when she spread her wings
so few could believe;
and fewer still
could keep alive the dream,
that had awakened for all to see.
Galileo Galilei took center stage,
as we flipped through yet another...

The inn of my Heart 
has many rooms;
I thought I knew them all.
They were peopled with 
husband, children,
  family and friends.
    Even God had a room,
      and I visited them all frequently.
I really didn't think
there were...

My husband... has never minded
    eating a vegetable he doesn't like
        just so they will eat theirs...

Or eating half smashed, soggy potato chips
          out of clammy...

Vespers of the falls,
Exclaiming the earth’s past pains;
Whispers in the mist....

This is our precious Earth
It's high time we savvy its worth

When the King Sun emerges in the east
When the waxing moon smiles dark sky amidst
When little seeds pierce the earth's sheet
When fluffy white waves nudge our feet

Praise our precious Earth
And merrily savvy its worth?

On perceiving...

Through the auspices of
Our Glorious God’s

The dawn arrived

And

I am still here:

       Standing

           Breathing

               Watching

Paroxysmal passions of preying eyes,
Whispering waves upon warming ocean…
Harmonies hankering hearts hypnotize,
Melodic mists of driving devotion.

Yelling and yearning youthful ambitions,
Sizzling summers endure exotic heat…
Posturing pleasures amidst positions,
Capitalizing confidence complete.

Adoration and affection flaming,
Tendering tears of cascading desire…
Lavender lips erotic exclaiming,
Sensuous seductions sacred of hire.

Summer heating upon...

Sometimes, I roam a lush green forest...
                 in my mind; birds sing a chorus

               Being...

The rational subject
Dances in duality
Stripped of earnings, personhood urging
Marked by contract, on paper
Life transforms into property
Belligerent because of tooth enamel-
That unexpected biological decay
Proves that mind stands still

We've built up a hoary artifice
Exclaiming our particular version of truth
Covering the ground with gridwork and lines
Mining jewels to...

*** SIMPLY ***


Simply

The elements unite
Linked and willing,
    In no prescribed order

The route’s lay swirls
Through 
Our simple souls,
Appearing still
    But
Bleeding subtly
Along the outstretched
Fibers of the cosmic fabric

God breathes ~
His effects
In seemingly
Simple 
Measures
  — His music and mathematics —
Annotate
The dances...

No longer will I search the stars for that bright
shooting star that bursts like a rocket through
the cobalt sky, exclaiming our love.
No longer will you hold me in your warm arms.
No longer will dawn steal my breath as twilight 
softly fades into a lavender sky.
No...
