Best Ivers Poems

Freedom of thought and expression could lead one astray.
Always there exists the temptation to tread on dangerous ground.
Ingrained ideas and habits become lax.
Therefore, ever careful one must be.
Happiness cannot be found only in material things.

1.  "I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart) I am never without it..."  E.E. Cummings

You gave to me your heart when we were young.
On stars we danced, and on the moon we swung.
Unfailingly your heart beat just for...

Y outhful yielding yachting yawns younder

N ewborn Nightingales nesting nervously near
A mbient animals auditioning against the airwaves
T imorous trees that tirelessly tower throughout time
U niversal uplifting of uproarious undying unions
R ivers rhythmically running revitalizing romances
E arth elegantly euphorically evolving eternally.

Ardently, she sweeps away weary winter,
Preening her plumage, the year's infant peacock;
Rivers swell and rise, heavy life breasts.
Incandescent, she fires earth's darkness, sparking spring's fuse,
Liberating ice-encapsulated souls, warmth starved.

B eauteous bewitching botanical gardens in the early morn
R ivers rhythmically running, as we race to adorn
E verlasting earthly echoes, the beauty that is shown
A bundant acoustical atmospheres playing heavens tone
T imeless tall trees that titillate the aromatic air
H oofing hormonal horses mating their scented...

Oak trees, dark or sunny sky,		
Neighbors waving, passing by,

Music of the buzzing bees,
Young ones playing as they please,

Varied colors seasons bring,
Ecstasy of birds that sing,
Roaming strays, both dogs and cats,
Active squirrels, dancing gnats,
Nature’s grand, diverse array,        
Divers sights...

Flowing from sad eyes, weeping while mourning

Rivers of tears caused by words of lewd scorning

Angry insults inflict wounds too painful to abide

Garnering grief that no gentle person could hide

Imagine the suffering vile contentions can start

Lamentable lacerations that pierce a fragile heart

Emotional bruises often tear relationships...

Painting by the Florida Highwaymen
 


Take me home to where joy resides. I am most thankfuL
Here. My gifts bestowed by God are strewn like confettI  
Around me! The salty breeze is like a warm blankeT
Nurturing my soul as silver stars are draped each NighT.

Winter’s snow softly falls, flurries
invite me to a magic kingdom -
naïve of bitterness.  Cold and warmth
tethered together -  in lover’s arms, in hats and coats,
ethereal frozen hands over a chestnut fire.
Rivers made with planks of ice - bridges to a

macrocosm ecstasy of skating,...

U nder cloudy skies, we pray

D ry as a shuck the ground stays

O pportunities come and go

M oisture billows, swirls, flows

E mpty the udometer on a dry pole

T ell me has it sprung a hole

E very grain of red dirt is dry

Languishing within seed was a gigantic tree,
interned through genetic code by the almighty,
furtive, stay buried, to withstand time’s vagary,
ever can human tasks equal this mystery?
streams of ants, leaf flags,will not pause till job done!

Moon shines bright and white, travels over dark night sky,
year recounts seasons,...

Feeble souls can make poor decisions without thinking
Regretting life altering choices without even blinking
About the time winter came she grew delicate and frail
Growing farther away and ending up in internal jail
Insubstantial hearts can break with such strong ease
Love couldn’t save her then she died out...

Girl with those melancholy eyes
Captive now a hundred years or more
Glancing, challenging we who pass by
Gentle child, artless of a nations war 
Moments of calm in your Sabbath clothes 
yet no smile from a child of our land
Against your will an image chose
composed then by...
