Best Genera Poems

A day wherein to wake warm sun to drench,
while it hangs temptingly reaching nature's
ravenous hunger only sun doth quench.
As warm in wild or tame heart leal creatures. 

Benign spring upon buds slowly open,
sweeping gold hay-field and purple loosestrife,
songs among branches, cool wind unspoken
sounds descend on...

As dusk gives way, a great delight
The forest comes alive
At first, it's slow
Now off they go
They flourish, nay, they thrive!

The motivating force, the drive
Behind the wondrous glow
To find a mate
A longing sate
But little do they know

She, flightless, hungry, blinks below
Does not have long to wait
Her...

Words To A Wren

They have not taken thee, thou art too small
To tinge their fancy with a moment's flush;
Thy safely lieth in a ruined wall,
Thy plainsong blendeth with loud water's rush.
In dusky shade thy duskier shadow flits
Beside the pathway; friendly in thy flight;
No wrath of...

We are primates, one and all
And our heritage is not from the fall.
The primate group is where we’re from
And no matter how far we’ve come
We owe our past through ties of time
And that’s the purpose of this rhyme.

We are a great ape, just like the...

The journey began from birth
 Since presented out into this life,
 The brow beating experience,
 Gloom besetting this vagabond soul
 Are harrowing like the trail in front,
 The ancestors had proclaim the future
 To be bright, baring all retributions
 Encounters in life,
 They have spat...

Poetic Verses, Words Composed, To A Wren

They have not taken thee, thou art too small
To tinge their fancy with a moment's flush;
Thy safely lieth in a ruined wall,
Thy plainsong blendeth with loud water's rush.
In dusky shade thy duskier shadow flits
Beside the pathway; friendly in thy...

See the symphony of light o’er the sea.
Softly the agony resends softly. 
Free rising orb setting harmony free.
Brightly absorb with a song so brightly.

Aurora  light from morning aurora.
Song of the night is now operas' song.
Flora delight; like blossoms of flora.
Long is the sight with...

Little
bright, yellow heads
despised not for beauty.
That are here, there and everywhere
I tread.

Gently,
tentatively
in your meadowy home
amidst copious genera
alone.

Myself
but not really
alone. Strolling along
accompanied by my friends at
my feet.

Brushing
jagged edged leaves-
like baby lions teeth.
So aptly named dent de lion
Lead on!

Yellow
companions. The 
time is nearly late. Your
feathered, cottony heads...

But lo! What creature to my clutches wings
Attracted by fallacious promises
And curious to taste my sweet delights?
My scarlet beauty fashioned to bewilder
Shall tantalize this unsuspecting prey
And cause the wretch to plunge into my depths.
I’ll  suck him to a vortex of despair
And suffocate by my...

Argh...fresh out of reading material!

Hence... what better opportunity, I aver with zeal
presented to one local everyman token schlemiel

trumpeting resident in United States commonweal

Suddenly Swans

I was at a lake, so beautiful lake and just before sunset;
There arose in the timid cooling waters a royal bird;
Genera Cygnus so lovely long neck with webbed feet;
Grace and beauty associated with love, music, and poetry-word;
Sacred to Venus, the goddess of love;
Related to...

Peace at stake,
it worked.
Withdrawal of rubber dolls
playing with fire.

Empty bowls in lunar month.
Concords were flying very high
noiselessly crossing the peaks
of great grudges.

Pure golden hair –
of grief.
It really was miracle.
Bald eagle was waiting.
Enough time to steer a murder.

The irresistable desire
to rub with a paranoid.
Extracting a genius...

Some time ago my nutritionist,
a true health freak and activist,
recommended I eat green veggies –
(for antioxidants against diseases):
kale, cabbage, chard, broccoli, arugala
all cruciferous greens and other genera.
The benefits were just as predicted 
but the side-effects were not expected – 
I now have the longest ears...
