Premium Member Impression
The crested waves were like frills, rolling toward me
I want to be that light, carefree, worry free
Led by the tides that pull me
Floating effortlessly to the shore
Where you are waiting for me
Where I know, everything will be ok, when I am there

I dream of a...

Premium Member Big Impression

It isn’t the big celebrations,
Enormous dinners or huge gifts.
Parties never rouse foundations,
Jamborees or festivals.
It isn’t the life-sized creations,
Who impress kings, rulers or monarchs.

It’s the little things, a gentle expression,
When hearts meet in the deserts,
When dreamers discover their profession,
When simple reaches into the heart,
Pulls out a...

Your Impression On My Heart
Lay your hand upon my chest

Pressing hard with all your might

Then place your head there to rest

Dream some dreams with me tonight


We'll soar into the enchanted sky

Gaze intimately at the moon

glowing effulgent in your eye

as my heart begins to swoon



When you're gone I'll always feel

your...

Monet's Impression, Sunrise

First impressions leave memories
That can linger for a very long time;
And give a sense of peace and understanding,
That rewards the solitude of the mind
With satisfaction, in contemplative reflection.
This may be deceiving and can mislead one to believe
That which is right may, in fact,...

Citron yellow-
                  prussian blue
brings day and night 
                 into view.

BRUISED IMPRESSION
Bare hands stirring over my body
Little resistance, pushed against wall
Echoing of my scream shivered down
Strong figure felt like a known to me
The stare sensed me of my own blood
Little did I know, Dad about you..

Premium Member Seasons Impression
A few yellow leaves, diminutive bless.
         The subtle birth of Fall— my eyes impress.
               Verdant green—deep visual for my dreams.
The season’s frisk—Jack Frost...

Premium Member Word Impression Poem 5: Benedicence
The art is fading,
Like the civility it shows.
Hard now to find those
Who understand the shading
One needs to give to common speech,
To convey benedicence
Through common sense,
With all the forms of courtesy teach 

A repartee' that clashes not like jagged, tumbling stones;
Reclaiming dignity over our tea and...

Premium Member Word Impression Poem 3: Apricity
The air carries winter's bite
To the ear, the nose and fingers
- But the day is full of light,
A golden shine that falls and lingers
Upon the warf and woof of everything.

The apricity all 'round is why the birds yet sing
Upon their icy perches.
A ghostly touch of...

Premium Member Word Impression Poem 2: Airling
Oh how fine it might be,
But for a day or two,
To be an airling again;
Clean of conscience
Innocent of what hurts
I may have caused,
For I'd never yet then
Intended any of them.

Age is wisdom, true.
But it's also a tapestry of little guilts,
Amid still smaller expiations....

First Impression
Please do not hold me within those claws of unworthiness
As if your judgment alone DEFINES me!
Get out of here, you little baby,
You don’t recognize what’s good for you!
Push away the peas,
But you’re still going to have to eat them!!!!
Your fresh eyes glanced easily upon stupidity,
No,...

Premium Member Word Impression Poem 7: Constult
Heights there are,
Which no intelligence, perhaps, may reach,
But when the foolish conspire together
They fall, entwined, into bottomless deep.
Bad enough to drift in our lone delusions
But when leaders gather and constult,
Social decay should be the expected result....

Premium Member Word Impression Poem 6: Chrestomathic
How useful it is to know what's useful,
Better still when and where to apply it.
To get the two together properly is hard,
Which is why learned people seldom try it....
