Best Impetuously Poems

Four legs quiver
like clumsy cabrioles
striking smooth gray rivers
of zig-zag sidewalk barrios
in rhythm with happy shivers
syncopated on a muffled drum
as we talk and stroll

On our way
hand-in-hand
we persuade and pretend
this day away
taunting and cajoling to demand
laughing “hide and seeking”
chasing and skedaddling
poking and peeking
like cuddly pandas
or canoodling otters
splashing...

They pierce the unwelcoming night,
perserving eyes that receive nothing 
but an unwholesome darkness,
hot accelerated breath scorches the
freezing air, as it penetrates
in entirety her raffish body while a 
shivering anatomy provokes an age
of innocence, yet a stark awareness
of life’s tribulations, as she tucks in
her scarf, fastens...

Strolling,
We encounter
Fragrant dappled apples,
Low-hanging and creating an
Archway

Passing
Underneath trees,
Inhaling fruits’ sweetness,
Impetuously you give me
Kisses

Holding
One another
In afternoon’s sunlight,
Blissfully by murmuring wind 
Caressed

Sparrows
Serenade us
Until finally we
Are enveloped by autumnal 
Twilight

Oh bloody and evil Catherine de Medici.
The queen has acted impetuously.
Thousands have died because of her demands.
Witness her red bloodstained hands.

A wedding is a time of joy and jubilation.
Instead, there is death and devastation.
She thought the Huguenots would seek retaliation.
It started with an attempted assassination.

An...

Instead of reasoning
I yield to a sudden
irresistible urge.
Impetuously, with
impunity I risk
injury. Am I an
idiot or hero?

A beautiful creation -delighting eyes  for glittering  happiness, 
Impetuously  jives kindred’s  lifelong moments, 
nature’s omnipresent picturesqueness
quiet , resplendent smiles  to us
ventilation whirls,
eXhilarating,
yielding  
zing

Morning smiles and there we move forward
Into the sunrise, gazing lovingly
My mind does a relentless flash toward
To your lips smiling quite impulsively 

You then squeeze your warm hand in alliance
And your mind wants to till earth vividly
As I appreciate your bright vibrance
In the air that...

I raced to the hand of beneficial friendships,
pledged myself to artful reasoning
and aspired to harness
freights of honor.

I took long drafts of audacity
and impetuously ingested
every molecule of opportunity
while the road was wealthy
and the track fertile with
smooth stepping stones
content to lend their backs to my feet.

I rushed...

We stage a dazing drama
Impetuously unfolding with scenes
Spelled by our minds and moods
Where all things happen
With the scripts discarded
 
We watch keenly a curious comedy
Everyone scheming for greased palms
Gone...when the rules were without exceptions
When shady kingpins bow to Justicia
And their sizzling sleaze unraveled
Now justicia sick...

I have an illustrious dream,
     want to be Leonard 
          Cohen's gypsy wife, 
he's kissing my lips on
    Boogie Street,
impetuously we dance
    to the end of...

EXTROVERTED 
From tumultuous discussions within
images strive for life as a new-born 
child wriggles from the womb.First
an outline,then in silhouette,each 
unique line,a perceptible signature,so
individual and more personal than
a diary.This spontaneity impetuously
releases the extrovert upon this page,
squeezed out as rain in an arid world.
Artistic inspiration writes itself,...

The hardest losses
are those too late to repair
what has been win/win time lost
to despair

Just as love
cannot co-arise
where fear grows 
fully uprisen
a prison
predicting anger's nearby
impetuously apprised
surprise.

So too,
Freedom cannot thrive
where addiction has hard helped
us feel we are not  softly worthy
to survive

"Loser" labelled struggles
with addiction
cannot feel free...

I returned to our farmstead last autumn
on the driveway where I kicked marbles
and plucked brambles catching my gaze- 
Now overgrown at sixty-two
horse wagons filled the blank spaces
of my remembered landscape...
I walked like a ghost looking for dear home,
but found this lofty edifice
ridiculing, mocking me from...
