Best Mellow Poems

Everyone is so uptight.
I just came to drink and they all wanna fight.
Some sixfoot seven pissed off dude.
Just blacked my eye.
Cause his girlfriend just happened to be in the mood.

Got thrown in jail after I eat some special brownies
and decided to go to the library...

swoon beam on the edge
optimism tempered twinkle~
frontward through the dawn

time passes away
echoing in hollow past~
future whispering

nothing left inward
those loathsome optimists smirk~
blind to my hollow...

The music begins, then the singing
I close my eyes, and even my ears smile
inhale.. humongous exhale, arms raise to the heavens
then my hands pose, lingering in jazz dancer's style

My mind begins to fly
Or perhaps as I glimpse the shadows going by
it's actually birds, yes birds...

Honey gold warmth in possession of June;
And jeweled birds sing heaven a soul tune.
Untrimmed hedges, sassy and emerald green,
House creamy butterflies in the noon sheen,
As temperate winds lease the fragrant air,
And riotous buds are blooming everywhere!
But, noon's complexion yet holds mystery,
In pleasant shade of its...

mellow autumn

golden fields of maize
 ripple 'neath a sapphire sky ~
  summer heartbeat slows

dry yellow cornstalks
 rustle in with autumn song ~
  frost adorns morning

fields of sunflowers
 reflect the mellow sunlight ~
  orange leaves samba

harvest bounty waltz
 with sweet pears and saffron...

Bees buzzing low where gardens grow;
lovely lilies there in pretty poses.
Tulips too! Oh, Heaven’s hue!
Wind wafts through trees as a calm cool breeze.
Dawn’s debut; Nature’s new!
Flowers’ fragrance; rosy romance.
My mellow day, let springtide stay.

Marvellous Mellow Glass of Chardonnay
What was my life before you came my way?
My parched throat and tongue, my taste buds were rife,
My heart, my mouth, with the raw taste of life!
I would sweat by my brawn, or by my brows, 
Through the days and nights,...

This summer was so crazy with a drought but still where mosquitoes multiplied.
And we’re leaving behind a hurricane that attacked the Midwest from all sides.
The crops were lost as months of over 100-degree temperatures, drove us hard.
They were Months that steadily held us captive within...

It was the yellow rose of Texas that did me as she pleased;
It was a case of yellow jaundice that took me to my knees.
   When the yellow sun was setting I lit a magic smoke;
    It was a yellow...

I was right in the middle of commenting to peers at Poetry Soup when the power went off and I found myself in utter darkness and feeling disappointed since it was still only 10:45, a time much too early for night owls like myself. After...

The charm of a soft summers night

Is only a dream right now

But soon the mellow light of the moon

Will softly cross my brow

I dream of romantic far away places

Beckoning me to come by

Places I've only read about in books

Accompanied by a lullaby

How can I possibly...

as the sun goes down 
the sky bursting bright colors
I become mellow 
nature shows perfect splendor
beauty rears amid chaos...

My mellow yellow rose,
     You don't wear socks or hose.

You grow from a root
     You never laugh or toot.

You have such will power.
     You are such a lovely flower.

On your stem you have...

Life is the same, yet lived differently
Under the azure of the sunny, crisp
For the seconds that birthed
Minutes that earned
Hours that gifted 
Days that created moments
Months that yielded 
Years that counted under the 
Solar, I thank the Creator whom
Curried me through times and
The family that holds...

Flurries of fall fling fabulous colors,
Drifting silent in dreamy discolor.
Marvelous, mellowed, midday, matinee,
Plummy and peaceful as red songbirds play!
Isolated, intriguing, gold, immense,
In fields of faded blooms beyond a fence.
Real beauty ripens in seasons of sun!
