Best Flash Poems

Beneath the shade of pinnate leaves
I catch a glimpse, a swirling haze...
an agile penché – a dash  
of graceful pirouettes. 
Then like a flash, with a glissade  
the whirling wind exits the stage.

tiny lanterns-
burning bright
in darkest watches
of the night
like elvish sprites-
come beckoning
although never-
truly reckoning
of children filled-
with summer rapture
intent upon-
a quest to capture
venting to-
the purpling skies
their excited-
and delighted cries
of fireflies!!,fireflies!!!...

I’d caught you with her in your arms,
in my heart I knew you’d not cheat-
but you flashed HER that smile;
that smile reserved for me ...
it was such a tender moment
as you cradled our baby girl!

swoon beam on the edge
optimism tempered twinkle~
frontward through the dawn

time passes away
echoing in hollow past~
future whispering

nothing left inward
those loathsome optimists smirk~
blind to my hollow...

News Flash! Dragons Back! He’s the News Hog of the Day.
No one can print, without him, becoming entangled in some way.
He heard that there’s a new newspaper lurking, around the bend.
He wants to know… if he can pose as the new Super Hero, therein?

He’s already...

When memories flash,
just color splash
the happy ones,
and fade out
the sad ones...
for the happy memories
help you flourish
and the sad stories
are not to cherish...

NEWS FLASH

“Look out for vampires!
For sure they’re very charming
I’d say disarming
Don’t look into their eyes
Or you’re in for a surprise!

Don’t think they are sweet
They think you are something to eat
Their eyes are like fire
Burn with erotic desire
Look out for vampires!

Are there defenses?
They say  ...

Grab a blank sketch book and call it your own
Create your personal memory album
It’s fun, creative, therapeutic, and shareable

Your eyes will light up each time you share memories
Your heart will tingle as you turn the pages
You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll travel back in time
‘Cause memories...

flash dancing with dawn

hued dawn rises as
lightning flashes in spring skies—

Leprechauns lurk in the wood,
cackling and doing no good -
drinking and counting up gold,
even flashing at fairies, I'm told.

A warning sounded on my phone -
An elongated beep -
So loud it must be meant to wake
Whoever is asleep…

Alerting me that there could be,
Within my current range,
A dangerous flash flood, which I
Found really kind of strange.

There is no river and no lake
For many miles around
And...

A voice rose from a burning bush,
"O feel the contours of my tush!
Ounce for ounce
Cheeks will bounce
With just an itty-bitty push!"...

Life goes by in a flash is a
famous quote/ saying. The
longer I live on this earth 
I’ve found that quote/ saying 
to be true. This year 2020 
has made a believer  out of 
me. I’ve seen so many people 
pass away like never before.

It’s blade severs night;
A razor flying through space 
leaves an injured void.  
Soaring legs in marathon; 
meteor in burning flight.

Intuition is to reason
 as a black hole is to space

A cistern of discovery
 —void of distance, time, and place
