Best Finesse Poems

Chandelier earrings dangling
Golden bangles jingling
Thick long raven hair
Twisted and pinned in swirls
With ornate gold embellishment
Luxuriously wrapped
In silk and brocade
Lavish lengths 
Of rich flamboyant colors
Parading effortlessly
Their exotic saris
Swaying in graceful rhythm 
Gliding by on air
In exquisite hues 
And charms of opulence

Movement feels mellow with spontaneous joy;
Orbit of sure spheres in changing charades;
Night stars to follow the impulse that toys;
Trust lovely times here to style your parade.
Enter a...

She strikes me with the way she walks
Her head held high and shoulders straight
A rhythmic smoothness in her step
The swing of arms matching her gait.

You might assume that she could be
A model trained to catch the eye;
Instead, she lives the dream of dance
This joy to...

Guinness Finesse

There’s an art to the pouring of Guinness
requiring a devilish finesse
twixt the foam and the ale
the rule cannot fail
never pour ‘til the first one is finished.

As riverbank swivels
on deepened water floor
with ripples of fine air
its movement quivering… 
like tidal sways, the route
a junction, long mile.

Finding restfulness
that cuddles heaved turns
to soak every wend
moist with finesse… she
glides in rhapsody.

Sea gracing hours
across bright lune,
her flesh of tones
imbues quiet.

Then to grant
nature's flow
sacred psalms

Gentle…

His drink the black beauty foaming and thick
toasting St Patrick until he gets sick
then off to the loo
he knows what to do
cuz ya can't teach an old dog a new trick

I struggle for success
i do profess
is not what i possess

i fight for rights
that have no lights
when i ignite

my goals and dreams
in this stream
of never ending screams

is useless
when i unleash 
My new noblesse 
in a pool of peeress
fighting for control of her finesse...

I am going to teach you a lesson
A lesson in finesse
What? Coming from me, it will be the first
But I'll give it to ya
First, don't answer a question with a question
That - I do that a lot
Think you do too
It's human nature
Where did you go...

mosquito messiah
follows feeds swallows
such needs create 
much madness
(so squint & see
the imprint it's me)
with finesse lapping
up the mess flapping
wings for the sheer 
hell of it...

Acrostic dream
Watch happy stream


A mosaic rhyme
Watch collage chimes


A lyric trance
Watch feelings dance


A sonnet flash
Watch thoughts now dash


A pregnant ode
Watch deeper mode


A couplet dwells
Watch vibrant tell


A sensuous rhyme
Watch sexy times


A haiku deep
Watch fragment leap


A quatrain stretch
Watch mindful match


A rhyme now chimes
Watch moments mime


A poignant stay
Watch fond...

Quatrain #26:
FINESSE


Sculpt a fine feel in lines that glow,
Touch strain and will with truth that shows;
Craft warm appeal as wit moves rhymes,
Word thoughts that heal as finesse flows.

Embrace the truth that comes to you,
Meet pain and gain with mellow gaze;
Be one with proof as you claim dues,
Reach for words plain in journey maze;
Act upon thought that moves your soul,
Cheer is the way to live fond fest;
Echo your lot in love's sure whole.

Frame fragrant feel
Wear wealthy will


Lift lavish leap
Dance dazzle deep


Face floating fare
Wear wholesome ware


Words welcome writes
Cheer clever cites


Feel finesse frame
Glimpse gaudy game


Frustrate fluke fear
Castrate crude cheer


Void vicious vibes
Treat troubling tribe


Watch wonder work
Jest jostles jerk


Fond finesse frames
Note nature name


Glimpse gracious good
Meet mindful mood


Be beyond blame
Nurture nice name

This verse offers such flowers,
gives them to us,
presents a vase of verse
so simply, yet with grace.

So simply, too, do we
receive them with that grace,
presented as they are
within this dainty vase.

Such a vase, with grace,
such flowers, with grace,
such a vase of verse
containing those flowers with finesse.

Why...

I find myself in quite a precarious state.
Uncertain as to why I was so quick to acquiesce.
My heart flutters with excitement. 
My body trembles inside with fear.
The thoughts race through my minds eye,
like an out of order stampede. 
That of enlightened speech.
It is an unique...
