Best Filigree Poems
Swirls of Gold FiligreeA pale, ghostly moon rises
at night when the day is done.
And orange and tangerine
get bled from a crimson sun.
Space is draped in black velvet,
pinned with galaxies of light.
And swirls of gold filigree
confetti the dark of night.
Twirling pulsars and quasars
provide rhythm, spinning in place.
And in this cosmic ballet,
gravity maintains the pace.
Mars ascends in shades of red;
evoking...

Nature and Creation EnvyI saw a dragonfly today
Skimming over the surface of a still pond
It’s beauty reflecting the light
Colours of blue, green opalescent delight
It’s wings fluttering as it flew effortlessly
It’s a sample of nature...

A Gold Filigree ChestA walled in pond with trees draped with moss
brighten by a warm predawn glow
Two sisters sit on a small stone clearing
keeping secrets of their own
that can never be lost
A gleam of awe on their lovely faces
an open gold filigree chest they hold
Lustrous pearls once worn by their grandmother
they hold dear ,treasured...

Born Among Snowflakes Filigree
I have a deep true love and bond with winters cold,
born among snowflakes filigree;
though, I adore all seasons that unfold,
it is me- who holds my life's master key.
I just love spring and all her pretty colours bright,
and like autumn for leaves set free;
oh, so many kinds of love that delight,
born among snowflakes...

Filigree Clouds

Clouds of twisting filigree
Azure sky entwined, tangled
Soft, delicate, billowing
A lace hammock in the sky

Frost Like FiligreeJack
Frost
arrives
Feather like
patterns have appeared
all over my bedroom windows
My frozen fingers trace the swirling fern like patterns
as I gaze intensely at the sparkling crystalline formation on the window panes
Warm
breath
melts a
small section
of filigree ice
Rivulets of icy water
trickle down the glass. I wipe away condensation...

Autumn FiligreeThe gray haze of autumnal fog drenches the leave-strewn grass.
Trance-like, lain within the wet air, like babies breath, the leaves fall.
A soft, damp, blanket of gold, filigree,
edges the green cloak of the Mother,
Her garb lays adorned with a pointed patterns of earthly stars.
Warmed so, by the abundance of her children;
caressed by the...

Celtic Filigree
Graceful filigree unbroken
Weaves a tracery
With strands entwined
Like a whisper from the misty isles
Woven into whorls of melodic unity,
Indivisible spirals of the eternal three,
Thin harp strings of crisscrossed swirls
Weaving lyric filigree
Delicate fine threads elaborate
Earth, water, fire in legends
Of scholar saints and mystics –
Erin’s braided shield
Two hearts intertwined into infinity
As a king’s wisdom brings...

Frost Like Filigree
Frost Like Filigree
Frost filigree, superb can be
as nature weaves crystal delights.
With varied lacey forms, we see
sculpture sparked by lights.
'Neath sun or moon, artwork alights;
the glistened shapes show artfully
presenting joy within our sights.
Ice clings, designs...

Filigree Snowflakes FallI walk lonely in the garden of my dead mother,
down paths frozen with song birds in trees;
my coat is of mourning black,
my heart is shattered-
Filigree snowflakes,
fall . . .
