Best Exposed Poems

I was a child of only seven years,
adventurous, bold, I had no fears.
Into the woods I would go
after my Mom told me "No."
But worth the spanking and the tears.

These days the woods are worrisome,
fear I may trip and land on my bum.
Things live there I...

One blossom's beauty left exposed
Against tender green leaves
Beneath upon the ground spring's joy
Wild Violets interweave

Soon solid gray damp mass of clouds
Will dump a pouring rain
While the plump Mourning Dove sits fluffed
Against the damp cold pain

Breakfast is cooked and served up now
The feeding frenzy gone
I'll go...

They love creating chaos that's their plan.
Look at the wild fires out West, here we go again!
Devastating families with no end in sight.
Canceling their fire insurance, as their homes burn bright!
No water in the fire hydrants, can you imagine that?
The Controllers planned it that way,...

I’m just an innocent poem

	roses are red that kind of stuff


Oh well then are the thorns

	male or female or what


Does critical literacy enhance

	the fragrance of beauty


How many isms hide in a flower

	are petals translucent


Fertility without borders

	blameless conception

Throughout my life I’ve kept unto myself
my feelings and my thoughts held deep within,
and stored like dusty books upon a shelf,
preventing my emotions to begin.

The thoughts I’ve been reluctant to confide
lest hidden dreams left to the world to find;
these inner thoughts that always did reside,
are...

The first time
Goodness?
or not
the first time I saw a man’s parts
I was five…….

Such confusion, such disbelief
hide and seek we played and in a a box he hid.
Sears had delivered a new frig
his sons and I “ally alley out free……..”
we called and ran from room to...

Poetry is exposing – 
little of us remaining
hidden after each write;
though future subjects
will differ, honesty
transcends all titles...

the language of spirit
leaving one totally bare,
while refreshingly 
unearthed.......

A true angel removes your mask
Seems to be her task
Digs  into your belief system some more
Asks how you gained your values, core

I am a creature of habits old
A product of my experiences untold
A book easily read
Raised on biases instead...

One small little country which houses 
one of the highest paid governments 
in this modern world joke ran upside down

A big part of our life existing reality 
when the backbone is gone snakes appear with light surely 
we spend working for slave masters who get...

Crystalline kisses from soft silken lips, 
          as, naked are the tears from my eyes, my love drips.

This promise I make with dreams only of you,

I didn't want to offer him my life but discovered it was not mine to give
When he entered my world my heart beat to the rhythm it chose to live
My muse was awakened from many slumbering years
to write of her longings and to cry pensive...

In a moment there was time a child could grasp corporeal and gracious
It stopped and I carefully gave non notice to educasees
that paused me to bleed blend assinine inaccurate aforementioneds
to preprocure a mule measured primrose pathos of interposes to analyze the ex ever jutaposes of...

Run away
Run from fear
Fear of fighting
Fear of violence
Violence scares
Violence erupts
Erupts through families
Erupts in the home
Home was a haven
Home should hold love
Love is gone
Love neglected
Neglected by parents
Neglected alone
Alone in a city
Alone and cold
Cold in body
Cold in heart
Heart bleeds
Heart break
Break given
Break accepted
Accepted friendship
Accepted with trust
Trust with innocence
Trust...

There once was a gal named Patricia
She was known for her sexy charisma
She'd parade round town
Guys would gather round
As she danced she exposed her chinchilla

This shadow that I see with my back turned to the sun. 
He represents me without fault and does not show my thinning hair 
or blemish on my skin that's there, or any hidden thing,
or any other secret thing that's hiding deep within.
My shadow is...
