Best Fanciful Poems

Moon shines its pale 

Enchanting light 

Upon forest floor 

Where winged creatures 

legendary, pale and sleek 

Spin and flit and dance

To the invisible orchestra; 

Of Blue bells ringing

Hummingbirds humming

Fireflies buzzing

And dandelions singing in tune 

With lilting fairy song as they sing 

Melodies that echo through...

Is it our age or present circumstances
that see childlike eyes grow dim
or is it living within our reality years
that lend whimsical thoughts so slim

If one could ride the notes in play
through a child’s imagination
One could laugh and dance anew
around each magical creation

Into the cosmos we...

Fanciful filigree faerie frolics
Garnishing grateful glittery gardenias
Heavenly hope heralding 
Iridescent illusions imagining 
joyous jumbled jubilation...

FANCIFUL FREDA

Fanciful Freda
What you got for us
Ain't got a car
So you ride a bus

Fanciful Freda
What's its like to be you
Walking down the street
Wit no shoes on

Sure... an old man in ballet slippers
can make you smile,
but soon, he too must
don overalls and mud boots.
Tabby cats turning cartwheels
and curly-haired dogs
in dotted clown suits
can take your mind to
funny places for awhile,
but eventually the crocodile circuses
and that tattooed frog
plowing apricot fields
must disappear, as forbidden
fruits...

The Butterfly and Fanciful Flight



The butterfly flutters by,
With wings spread deliberately wide.
Its beauty is beyond the pale,
Impossible it is to hide.

It pauses as if frozen in time,
Awaiting a response from the crowd.
And immediately there comes a roar
She is instantly very proud.

And then as quickly as...

Fanciful Image

A golden crescent necklace
Adorning a cobalt sky
Creates a placid prayerful scene
And pensively I sigh...

If only everyone could see
Such scenes the way that poets do
Surely their minds would feel calm
And tranquility would ensue.

But this is merely poetic fancy
In a world beset by tribulation
Such whimsy is...

Memories of illogical unreality saunter past my mind, 

Planning expectations of a future with no feelings, 

Deja vu days multiply with an intensity so unkind, 

Happiness is eroded by endless waves of lapping sadness, 

I fall weightlessly to the bottom of life's end, 

Regrets dashed...

I am fanciful,
Not factual.

I am frenzied,
Not famous.

I am fearless,
Not frightened.

I am fast,
Not fastidious.

I am friendly,
Not finicky

I am fruitful,
Not fixed.

I am not famished.
I am finished.

Farewell friends....

Dancing on the edge of a razor and stool as my ropen neck tie stands taught in two dimensions. This precarious balancing act in which life consists stands directly in the way of cold embracing bliss offered by abyss. 

And, I’m drowning. 

Choking on what’s...

Like antique china that slips through clumsy fingertips 
Shattered into tiny fragments
Unrepairable, unreplaceable
A blameless mistake 
It's beauty disintegrates 
Never to be appreciated again
By future enthusiasts

Like a daisy tweaked from the vast landscape
Once admired by all that stumbled upon it
Basking in the summer sun
Life dragged from...

Why does the mind love those fanciful tales
of firey dragons and great dancing whales?
Easier to digest spurious tales gone awry
than to taste sweetness of questioning why.

Wearing the finest designer clothes
     good character does not make,
For many a multi-millionaire
     has been discovered
     to be an outright fake.

Godly words are mighty easy to pen--
     easier than...

Where my hopes meet with
My dreams, heartfelt
Joy and brilliant imaginings kiss
Away the doubts, the demons
Who tempt me to listen
To the darkness, the dread, the depression
All the anxious that lives within
Where my skeptic is my biggest sinner…

There, amid the uncertainty
Knowing only a measure of hope,
Disquieted by...
