Best Lithely Poems

With shining eyes, the prettiest
advances leading all the rest.
She skips with glee beneath blue skies,
the prettiest with shining eyes.

The second, with a warming smile,
comes dressed in lace, and all the while
she lithely romps beneath the sun
with warming smile, the second one.

And woebegone, the daughter third,
walks,...

The whisper of dawn calls my name
gliding like a softly-bathed air: tangy
and afloat with a spice of mint 
in christened pools   lithely buoyant.
A path of upturned twigs rip free
to sail along bobs of peppered dew;
dewy in a way new sunrise adorns
pastel fingers where...

I see phantasms floating through the billowing early morning mist
where I stand alone by the black water as its ever 
probing tongue licks gently at the granite rocks that line the shore.
Like stone sentinels the fog creates images of snow leopards that seem to stalk...

Yellow spreads her flowered self all along my lane,
asking only for some warmth and a little rain.

She might pose as Daffodil or enjoy the fame
of the seeded beauty which bears our sun’s own name.

Yellow makes the perfect gift - roses for the friend
whom you know...

Spring awakens to remnant snow
  As winter meets his quietus, he has to go
  Soon daffodils will lithely sway
 And spring's rhapsody will rule the day

 Cherry blossoms put on a show
 Telling their story in a beautiful way
 Butterflies will come out...

One day I wandered to a meadow where
nature’s springtime was beyond compare,
for lovely flowers I saw dancing there
in May’s breeze, and fragrant was the air.

A woman swayed among the blossoms unaware
that I – a stranger – was entranced and could not bear
to turn away, so...

Fleet of foot,
down the stone steps, she seems to float,
now, ready to chase the wind,
Auburn locks now dancing.
Beauty dances through the crowds,
on golden walkways, she moves with grace,
upward, ever upward,
her long legs, running strong, 
onward, pushing onward.
Revellers watch enthralled,
she dances with such skill, through them,
the...

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...

Excitedly we travelled to the fair.
   As fragrant scents of flowers filled the air.
   Dawns gift of light showing sights enthralling.
   Dewdrops mirror, broken pearlstrings falling.
   Sunshine kisses earth, with warm caresses.
   Springtimes meadows wearing...

I am a genius
I must profess
I have a Doctorate in bundling
And one in making my life a mess.

Everything I turn my hand to
My efforts soon turn to dust
I'm a knight in armour
But covered in dents and rust.

I once had a date
But turned up three hours...

A pink rose bud grows
quite beautifully now
in the rose garden
as the music plays lithely
growth does grow with you, I know

On lonely paths I often roam
 Through meadows and over hills
 Like a gypsy cloud 'neath a blue sky dome
 And through a  field of countless daffodils 

 I stop to watch this field of gold
 As they sway lithely in the breeze
 Then...

My grandson asked if back when I was young
I had ever done anything naughty or wrong
I said shut the door put on listening ears
And Ill tell you a tale of rank shivering fear
One night at midnight I sneaked from my bed
To a neigr knocker fastened...
