Best Highlights Poems

The highlights in your hair, so familiar
Rays of sunshine, rays of love
I can't remember a time without them
I don't want to remember a time without you.
The smile on your face is genuine,

The smile of my own, quite similar;
But I want...

The distinguished guests arrive
And sign the book.
The prima donna,
Wearing tight slippers and a jade necklace,
Warms her voice with a few scales:
Do, Ra, Me
Do, Ra, Me

The diva sings as soulfully as a sparrow.
Her heart is bursting all over.
Mozart approves and claps;
He is a phantom of the...

I love brisk walks on breezy days;
I’m mesmerized by fall's displays.
Time’s limited. Cold weather stalks.
On breezy days, I love brisk walks.

October ends with trick-or-treat.
Our visitors want something sweet.
Each costumed kid then homeward wends.
With trick-or-treat, October ends. 

November comes, cold winds in tow,
Thanksgiving feasts, and fireplace...

Being adopted living in the country
an only child but knew sweet contentment
although had beginnings of a stammer
life was happy feeling no resentment

felt good just there...

In the lovely Dublin theater
where dreams are fulfilled
excited spectators hushed
In the silence of the night
with avid expectancy,
Bucks Fizz entered the stage
his music is a hidden gem 
waiting to be performed
In a lovely breeze
a mellow silk thread was spun
akin to the moon's silky glow
I have hopeful dreams.

 to completely shift

as a passive

This year has seen God very near
working His providence through many a turn
giving real opportunities to newly speak
no matter how often others would spurn

Much enjoyment was given to me
spending time alone loving to walk
among God's created nature jewel
interspersed with coffee/cake in stock

Many splendid hours spent...

This day in June brings home good cheer:
Highlights attune joy's arc right here.


In just a day, so much reveals:
A certain way flings fond appeal.


Work well wise words that speak profound:
Good news in verbs that forge new grounds.


The plot fits play in curling form:
Thus stage fond...
