a host of wild flowers vying for attention...
in vain I search for elusive love

A silky-spun weave captures my attention
with its soft circular radiance
reflecting rainbows;
its fixed yet floating form plays in sways of dappled sun,
appearing, then disappearing
as it is caught and released by lighthearted fingers of light..

amidst the ample weave and supple spill of trellis green,
fruitful with a passion-palette...

Iridescent Dad  

He’d known life, death and murder,
In our bloody war,
He had a group of followers,
Coming round to visit, for,
He’d take you in off the street,
And feed you, give you bed,
He’d fix your sick animal,
Yes an amateur vet,
 
My Father was a charmer,
Always full...

Smooth like glass the ground slithers all along
The beat goes down the street singing a song
Surface delights to even the roughest
Slipping, sliding enacting the toughest

Colors reflecting all throughout the way
Making the wet road seem cold in the day
Breaking down the path, hard surface below
Open ways...

God, I am overwhelmed within me,
But you are merciful everlastingly
You release your sincere spirit of shameless serenity
And you wash me thoroughly with it wholeheartedly,
For I've been lost for many a year
I must grin in gladness ear to ear
Fill my bathtub with cheer,
Oh waters of Aphradere

It’s cold
It snowed
I shivered
I shoveled
A Solstice sun
Silently smirked
Iridescent icicles
Licked their lips
A crunch of crusted snow
Battled the scritch of shovels
Headless snowmen
Wandered in wonder
I shoveled
I shivered
It snowed
It’s cold

When Miss Lily Jane Bobbit arrived in that Alabama town,
jaws dropped; all eyes were riveted on her.
The ordinary street on which she lived would be no longer common,
for Lily Jane now graced it with her presence.

Not everybody liked this sassy lass.
The girls in town were...

I am certain to move

so you may see

deeper shades of me

see me from 

shadows shades

or light rays

Blink your eyes and

I will change.

And If by chance you

position of your sight

you'd see black at a glance

in a different light.

Blue black

Purple black

turquoise-black

brown-black

reddish rustic black

beige black 

yellow -tan black

Only seven years old but always bullied and hurt,
A constant string of hurtful names others would blurt,
Wondered how I’d ever get through grade three,
Figured that was the way life would always be.

Until Mrs. Shrum my teacher spoke up one day,
She made me feel important in...

iridescent crow
sits near top in pecan tree..
nuts cracked under tires 

intelligent bird
has cars and trucks do his work..

Is an understatement
No, seriously
a great big Genghis Khan kinda understatement

The way my man shines
is more like greens in casinos
hustlin' off hellifinos

protecting the I knows
of lights that speak clearly
'neath blankets of truth....

Iridescent Colours




Winds whip, murkiness masks the blue,
Pearlescent clouds hurry,
Birds raise their pitch to suffused hue,
Whole scene appears blurry,


The coherent torrential flow,
Pellucids opaline,
Iridescent hues in rainbow,
Brewed to get perfect wine!

Madly Iridescent
By Rick Rucker

My wife had told me about her boss,
That, to not meet her, would be my loss,

I stopped by to see my Honey,
Something silly, like to give her money,

She said, as long as I was there,
She would introduce me to “Mad”, in her...

~~~Here's another verse written by me! I hope you cherish my 500th poem I've written on this WONDERFUL poetry site!!~~~
*dances merrily and goes to Disneyland*

I wish the sun can keep on shining like candlelight reflection… 
Iridescent with affection 
In the surface of the ocean…
It ascends...
