Best Marianne Poems

Marianne laughs, she's happy
sitting under the magnolia tree 
in Saint Anton's Garden
alone, in Venus's bower
waiting for no one in particular
as the shadows of leaves 
dance across her face.
Her lips break in a smile,
Runs her hands through her locks,
feels the velvety texture,
smells the perfume of her...

Marianne (Bearer of Tricolour) 

Marianne; the Goddess of Liberty and bearer of Tricolour,
Triumphant French Republic revolutionary figure,
Evokes solidarity with breasts exposed and barefooted;
Wearing a Phrygian cap and armed with a bayonetted musket.
Personifier of liberty and reason for the French citizen, 
Symbolizing wife, mother, and emancipated...

Strolling southern seashore in mists of September
searching for something set to stay,
her mind that meanders,
remarkable meters,
perplexing the phantoms at play.

Voices validating vague vagrant vocations
of poetry placed in parade,
with words waged in warring,
warning of the wheighman,
who knew you had dues left unpaid.

Before the seashore became her...

SOMETHING BORROWED a M M Phrasis
Enough of ennui,I may I might
the mind is an enchanting thing,senses
do not deceive.Days of prismatic colour
apparations of splendour,things are what
they seem, a mosaic, a prosaic voracity
and verity.
What are years then? Efforts of affectation,
dispositions by angels? No,the past is the
present,a chameleon...

Two years ago Marianne married Matthew,
thinking she had married handsome Prince Andrew;
he promised her Heaven with a devoted heart,
years passed but everything fell apart.


They still rent a three-room apartment overlooking a lake,
and the only luxury they can afford is a big screen TV;
Marianne didn't wish...

A flock of weary seagulls
Way beyond their range
Landed in the parking lot.
The weather's going to change,
I thought.
The leader is a grey one.
He has an attitude,
And, looking at me so intensely
Said, "It's awfully rude
To land upon the black top!
I thought this was a lake.
My mate and...

He had a handsomeness that spoke about his character
Yanez was instantly drawn in, by his nobility and his strength
He had integrity even if he did not understand the evil of Brooke
His teacher Macassar had prepared him for everything but this

Governor Brooke figured out this curious...

So so long CDC
It’s time 
for you and me
to die from 
bygone disease
(like measles
and TB)
while we laugh 
and cry
we”re the best!
we’ll die
knowing 
we’ll be great again

This is what my brain does when 
I wake in the middle of the night 
and can’t get back to...

Marianne.

Where are you, Marianne stealing my heart
tramping it in the mud, yet still, I asked for more
Marianne fell in love again. I saw her kiss
another man, the green monster of jealousy 
tore my mind asunder.
In the forest of darkness, I lost my way.
“Let her go,”...
