Best Freckled Poems

~~~
Dappled grey horses
sweat crusted and weary
hooves drifting dust
lift a day
passing dreary
The harness bells faded
reigned in at the rill
a cool running brook
near the base of our hill
~
My eyes
I'm a lad
scant older than four
brought visions to mind
full of wonders in store
A wagon decked out
like a big city...

Venus peeks down from above;
admiring Earth's azure seas.
And instantly falls in love;
with all the beauty She sees.

The tides rise and ebb offshore;
drawn to phases of the moon.
And tethered forevermore,
they will waltz to Luna's tune.

Shrouded in shadows of black;
Night's velvet curtain looks stark.
And yet, as time...

Tripped the electricity in the forest,
tumbled to a faceplate on the ground;
The shock raised the pulse in my wrist;

A storybook vision may confound,
star-crossed sits doomed to diminish;
Ground yourself in nature’s mound;

Let yourself revive and replenish,
kiss all the petals of a wildflower;
Renew your freckled faded finish;

Long dangly fingers shake like a leaf in the wind.
They have the delicacy of a flower,
but show the strength of a lion.
When she touches and explores new land
uncertainty runs through the veins in her hand.
Read her palm;
foresee a long life.
Freckled skin is far from calm.

Unbridled downpour of laughter,
flooded frizzy her hair will plaster.
Rays splash from within.

She embraces impeccable quirks,
fully aware of exactly what works. 
Grin and rock that safety pin.

With eyes reflecting diamond skies
when she laughs she always cries.
Such charm should be a sin. 

Beautiful in such an atypical...

Freckled hands
Prominent blue veins
Lucky wrist bracelets
Swollen finger.
Spider bite scar.
Stubby fingernails.
Birthmark.
Holding
Clapping
Plucking.
Wrapping.
Painting.
Cooking.
Lifting.
Shaking.
Perpetually busy.
Prominent blue veins
Freckled hands...

FRECKLED ANGEL
Seeing you in a different medium is peaceful to my mind
I remember the first day I saw your pretty face
Oh, please let me rewind
I hear your voice, and you sound more peaceful
Even as we speak I wish that we could embrace for a kiss
For...

She displays a smile of love
A smart freckled girl
Hair splaying here and away
Working up a swirl
Piercing eyes composed
She enlivens many men
Her heart is exposed

Blackened Silhouettes Fill The Skies

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Blackened silhouettes fill the skies, freckles.
The setting sun blocked by bats, in millions!
Hairs on my dogs back stood up, his heckles.
The black silhouetted bats, amazing!
Bats' freckles, natures vaudevillians!
New lands tonight, instinctive trailblazing,
they know this night certain bugs fly, mating,
yes procreating in...
