Best Harbinger Poems


Premium Member Gentle Harbinger
Musing on this life of mine
Alone I wonder if it's time?
Robin sings in my heart
Fluttering wings like cupid's dart.

Have been hurt, no doubt caused pain
Hearing robin's song again
Before I journey who knows where?
Know angelic wings will take me there.

The time has come and gone again
I'm...

Premium Member Harbinger Birds of Spring Potd
With the incoming sounds of spring, a resurrection of life,  
the chilliness flees. Quote _ by Poet 



Ready for a new season, Spring birds
Shake off winter; embracing 
The bonniest warmness weather,
Babies born, and color of nature's crowns.

Scarlet Tanagers chatter, flying round,
Feasting on caterpillar’s slowness...

Premium Member Hark--An Angel--The Harbinger of All Things Good
What flies though the air up above
Disguised as a peace seeking dove
For those who've not heard
Drones can send you the bird
From the land of brotherly love

Author's note: Is this really how to win friends and influence people (for the long term)?...

Shadows of the pre-dawn night
Of thee I fathom what's to come
Fear not the shades of hopeless strife
Thy will preludes the strength of sun

O'er prairies filled with downy haze
Your power seeks to forge a path
That follows rainbows all the way
From lightning strikes to calm at last

Of...

Harbinger of Love
I feel with thanks this gentle messenger; 
this love herald formed of flesh and bone,
a peaceful, soft and tender hand  
that touches mine, so, so warmly
to tell my heart, you're not alone
 
I hear with wonder this joyful music; 
this song of laughter and...

The Harbinger of Doom
I descended the wretched trench of lies with willing defeat,
My heart severed too many times to ever even care
Of what horrors lay beneath

I face the unknown with a corrupt thirst
I have seen these familiar twisted faces, 
And I greed for their ends—for the cease of...

Here in this hallowed place
  he sees great signs foretold
    hidden, sacred meanings
      hold oracles of truth
    happenings yet to be 
  hear his prophetic words
herald of the future.

Harbinger Waves
He brings a companion
imagined.
 Shouts this clear:
"The day is yours."

The Harbinger waves 
Smiles
What do the faux prophets say?

Whispering.
 We were talking.
 

Days were aging

  and settling;

    birds resting.

      We were at rest....

Touched By a Harbinger
Doppelganger, you touched me,
From desuetude tales, with redolent reach,
Raising my halo, armoured, 
Beyond all the charm of infallible speech,
Filling my lungs, punctured,
Drawing my breath, vast,
Raising my every hair, 
Beneath, this phantom limb’s cast,

For touched, I won’t preach,
A imperfect tense, gorged,
To signify, a world, visible,

And touched,...

The Harbinger
He meanders down the deserted streets
of the uncouth ruins of shattered language
looking for creative act,
        nubile poetry,
celestial songs, 
devoid of cultural pluralisation,
	tarnished sensibilities,
	receding waves of celebration....
looking for-
   the harbinger of wonderful monument.

A warm tempest rises
and vanishes
covering...

cold curfew lifted 
eager wings spread, feathers plumed... 
sweet song susurrates 

tweeting awareness 
of burgeoning beginning...

Deceit o’ bloodred,
Languish droplets bled
Elements purge forlorn
Happily e’er after battle-torn

Cruel lips kiss adieu,
Loathsome toxin askew
Slumber still mercy mine
Ador bore thou decline

Tangled web of lies,
Depths of loveless eyes
Pierced by devious dart,
Enfeeble, tis terse impart

Remiss of presence so
Willful heart nary let go.
Welcome harbinger grim,
Laid broken, weakened dim.

Come...
