Best Feisty Poems
Crisp metamorphosis of color
Tempestuous leaves tap dance on
Tangled wind's insouciance
Wayward sun's scarlet wink
Feckless orange flirts
Fey cinnamon
Coyly bold
Feisty
Fall.

My favorite hummingbirds appear in early Spring
With fast fluttery wings and soft chirps, they sing
And rich emerald and ruby feathers so bright
Seeing them makes my heart skip with delight
Powerful tiny creatures seen in a flash
Flying in patterns of zigzags and a dash
Zipping and zooming around feeders like fools
Feeding as their feathers sparkle like jewels
Two frolicking males seen fighting in flight
Mating rituals on display for females in sight
Another feisty one has joined their playful dance
As a lone female picks her mate today by chance
Here for a few moments then quickly gone
The nectar will bring more, it won’t be long
A quick blink and out of the corner of my eye
I just saw a flash of vibrant green go flying by

Feisty breezes blow through the trees
shaking and tussling twigs and leaves.
Often, gusts begin as a breeze
feisty breezes rustle the trees.
Grounding the butterflies and bees
breezes come and go as they please.
Feisty breezes blow through the trees
shaking and tussling twigs and leaves.
Breezes come and go as they please,
mayhem following in their wake.
Plants left in a state of unease
breezes come and go as they please.
Flexible trees bend to their knees
all day and night without a break.
Breezes come and go as they please,
mayhem following in their wake.
All-day and night without a break,
blowing breezes lead the attack.
And though trees are hardy, they shake
all day and night without a break.
Creaking as though in constant ache,
they're unable to spring back.
All-day and night without a break,
blowing breezes lead the attack.

There was once a ZOO in Atlanta,
that had an old gorilla named Anna.
She had a special trick,
that would make you quite sick,
when she’d throw you up-chucked banana.

The grief that you brought to me
Is unparalleled to a burning malady
Each miniscule reckoned; nimble spur
Comrades' perturbed; peeled exterior
A visceral feline that's so endeared
Suddenly spent and disappeared
Lingering with bated breath
And keeping the faith
To have you back
...come down the pike

FEISTY
We've often been told
Better the foolish imp
That the forlorn hold
All else is but a dream

His feisty manner,top notch brain
How I wish it was not the truth
Will always in our thoughts remain
The lord of good!
I know you tried
To cling to life; your selfless actions
among family gone before,the clouds are moving
But I pay respect not in grief
A feeling of ambivalence
But moment of clarity hits me,
Never will I see him again
Finality,finality dawns,it's a little too quiet now
Take your place in glory, you will be reminisced.
(Dedication: For Clara, my darling daughter)

Seek to know why,
Touch finds a way;
Use piles fond sighs,
Deep thought floods say,
Yes learn to fly.
Fly fancy free,
Explore new finds;
Ink a bold sea,
Sense profound mind;
Truth lights beauty,
Yes read the signs.
Cheer finds a way,
Love works fond times;
Align each day,
Reach beyond rhymes,
Ask affluent play.

Like a freight train
She barrels in
And slams upon the shore
Bringing all her treasured gifts
Up from the ocean floor
Randomly choosing
she makes a deposit
As if purging her depths
Or cleaning her closet
Then passively leaves
The feisty debater
Will reclaim her trove
When she returns later
Feel the cool breeze move through the trees,
Embrace wild dance of moves feisty;
Impact can squeeze what impulse frees,
See that sure chance of sheer fancy;
Touch of sweet feel in airy glide,
Yes frame fond fest with glowing reach.
Blossoms now fill like growing tides,
Love works the best from each to each;
Oblige the blast in ample lot,
Surreal feel knows the glimpses clear;
Supply dear cast of precious thoughts,
Observe true flow in atmosphere;
Merge then fine dream with ecstasy,
Succeed grand streams grand tapestry.

FEISTY
The smart man says much in little
The shrewd man exploits the sparkle

I
Quaint, *****
Jesting, writing, laughing
Sighs, highs
Curious
Me
Stoic, loud
Telling, prompting, talking
Oddly, amply
Script tease
Myself
Tall, taut
Glimpsing, dreaming, touching
Crazy, bossy
Mimic

Fondle fine flame
Nurture nice name
Speak sultry sway
Wise words work way
Feel fragrance free
Sanguine sight sees
Dream dizzy dance
Cheer crazy chance
Feisty form floats
Guilty gaze gloats
Niche naughty nice
Seize sizzling spice
Big blossoms blind
Know keepsakes kind
Watch wonder walk
Subtle sounds stalk
Think touching thoughts
Ply poignant plot
Chase curvy craze
Dance distant daze
Mind motions mull
Cream crafty cull
Looks lifting loft
Stillness sounds soft
Soul slumber sweeps
Daze dazzles deep
Dance deep delight
Sense sublime sights

Scrabbled words
in my face,
I don't know how
to phrase.
I run outside
to ask for hint,
from the chickens
in a tent.
They don't answer
nor bother,
but I'm sure they
never falter,
because they
know how to fight
though they are
not might.
I go inside
and start the write,
the feisty word of life:
"fight"
that's the start
of my thrill track
of this crazy world
where I stuck.
