Best Flitted Poems

A born lioness my untamed heart? ha! 
a mouse, this pulsing token ruled by unruly wants
at times given, traded or stolen - sometimes
thrown down on a dare to be won or lost 
till it became a paper tigress in tatters; 
regrets and rejections  remorse...

One spring day meandering in a meadow,
I saw a butterfly whose beauty matched that
of May's azure sky.
With blue silken wings like that of a fairy,
she flitted here and there -
aimlessly as butterflies seem wont to do.
Oh, to be that butterfly,
alighting on any pretty flower whose...

He grabbed me up from where I lay, peaceful in the sun, 
with my brothers and my sisters round about me. 
I felt four digits seeming to be one of a whole, 
which clasped around my form. 
A fifth one, slightly broader, pressed onto me...

It seemed like nature had concocted a singular miracle
As I sat on the wooden bench looking in towards the woodland.
A red maple tree stood tall surrounded by eucalyptus trees
While down below grew the yellow protea and acacia scrubland.

Sun filtered in between the green and red...

Miss Muffet sat upon a velvet stool
I know 'twas a tuffet; learned that in school
But Muffy was the tart
Who broke the spider's heart
I'm telling the story, so shut up, fool!

Humpty Dumpty had no wisdom at all
That stupid raw egg sat upon a wall
Tempting luck, he...

A little daydream, like a butterfly
into my absent mind came fluttering,
in pink and blue pastel. Then to and fro,
it flitted as its wings began to grow.

Above those rainbow wings, I was sitting
as the giant butterfly went flitting
through a field of buttercups. We flew
then toward the...

Night stirred memories, once forgotten of the days 
I burnt in love when you consumed my days,
and I carried you like a queen in the palanquin of my thoughts!

without forethought, to elbow out the marauding of memories,
I set out, travelling miles, my heart throbbing in...

I drifted past the sunset
where horizons make their place
Imaginary lineage 
that artists love to trace

I saw the world illumined
in a shade of tangerine
Beyond the treelined silhouette
and shadows in between

I scaled a distant mountain
that was massive in its size
Where I could taste the altitude
amidst blueberry skies

When...

The seamless sky called life glowed with cloudless beauty,
on the rippling breeze flitted a butterfly free,
on its wings I painted lattice of my being.
Flowers of my meadow bloomed all seasons for me.

The dawning horizon splashed the spectrum of bliss,
on unfurled buds of dream I was...

Whispering wings fluttering by -
purple and pink; orange and red.
Sapphire and green ones caught my eye
as they shimmered over my head.

Enchanted, I then ran behind
whispering wings fluttering by
and followed them, hoping to find
where they might go with twilight nigh.

Magically painting the sky,
they flitted too quickly...

I was an environmental scientist, working with large wind farm developers,
To harness wind and generate electricity, as a plum sun flees, to tell others.

I worked at helping developers comply, with all environmental regulations;
Minimizing the impact to it and populace, like storm tossed petal situations.

I conducted...

I meant to do my work today
Instead I spied a nest among the maple leaves
 where birds were singing in the trees
   and others splashing soft brown wings 
              ...

Random thoughts flitted
You were my whole foundation
And I was a fool

In my bed.
Winter blahs.
Colorless ground
Icy jaws.

I poke my head
Timidly forth.
I see some green
I feel some warmth.

I stretch my tendrils
Toward the sky.
Spindly spikes
Reaching high.

Slowly my body
Unclenches, unfurls
Displaying a wonder
Color and curls.

I dance in the breeze
In joyous abandon
I bow and I spin
Appearing quite random.

But when I pause
In...

This world, never ours alone, but shared with other creatures great and small.
The Earth turns and new dawn comes, and will long after we're gone.
A Sandpiper flitted along the shore and told me so.   

We must face a truth that we borrowed these...
