Best Glee Poems

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree—
A belle crooning nature’s glee,
Splendorous as seasons’ glory.

A ballad of resplendent spring
In stanzas cherry-blossom pink
Uplifting moods of lovers
Lost in heart-shaped leaves
Fluttering soft lavender breeze
Arousing romantic appeal
In fuchsia hues of redbud trees.

A verse of feisty...

Now go lay in a moonlit cave
head bowed and heart...

I woke that clear morn in dew laden grass,
Still dreaming, of night's paradise before.

I was broken deeply within my core.
Yet new dawn and hope grabbed me by the hand
Cried out, do...

I see people of different race and culture
so calm and calculative i stare like the vulture.
I see mothers with babies strapped to their backs-
and men with goods in woven sacks.
I see the child with the hope of tomorrow,
so do i see the old with tears...

When hearts are torn in sorrow
And days await weeks to borrow 
A scented Eurasian herb called yarrow
I stand afar in glee;

When blessings are so nearby in mass
And hedgehogs hop upon the green-grass
On a melody for a dancer trying a chasse
I stand afar in glee;

When love...

Warm sensations of thermals rising, wings of prey
effortlessly floating, dancing with glee
bald eagles souring diving for there prey

up river waters high still climbing...

Deep in slumber “watching” TV
Coffee in hand, spilled quite a bit on me
Woke up with a jolt
Don't laugh, no joke
As dear wife Cathie giggled with glee

Why do some people show their emotional side
When a loved one dies
It's a time when family and friends have to try
To except that only God gets to decide why
More often then not rational people get distraught
Let their personal feelings get tied in so many knots

Shattered opals flash
colored prisms aground.
Iridescent light
twinkles a rich cache
atop snow's lush white.

Deep hefty snow
captivates me.
Thick cream blanket
charms earth with glee.  

Shining sun,
sitting low,
prime pose shows

Winter
Opals

Glow.
