Best Minces Poems

(Inspired by dance steps from a belly dancing class I once took!)

She rolls her pretty head from side to side
while, raised above her face, are slim curved arms.
Brief pose. . . . She’s readied to expose her charms.
Wrists twist, and serpentine, arms downward glide. 

Her...

 Translation of Eric Mottram’s TIME SIGHT UNSEEN - Part Four by T. Wignesan


"Instead of an item in a school of rhetoric, the poem could have variety of articulations, continuity and discontinuity, sentence and parataxis, and an awareness of the imaginative possibilities of relationship between...

These days, when He watches her, she unconsciously moves 
                      a fringe of hair to veil her eyes, 
and even that is cause for...

The fact minces my mind; I can barely bear it:
Right now, legions of children are being abused.
I yearn to write of villages and vistas and never quit.
But the plight of the children cannot be diffused.

The words curdle the blood, but must be heard:
Raped, beaten, mutilated,...

Darling D,

I know you love poetry
Of Oak tree
Spree..

El Dorado, D
There you sit with Kings
you are a bee of bees
You travel the seven seas
For your prince Rabbit
Minces down the street
Your color is ripe wheat...

Petite
Sweeter than sugar beet of Rhineland 
There you sing and rhyme with a...

My uncle his name’s Billy Ray
Flamboyant and openly gay
He minces along
In heels and a thong
His outfits are often risque!

Cath is totally besotted with her five pussycats,
their cute ears stick out from under blue hats.
She dresses them in brightly colored plastic suits,
and on their paws they wear red wellington boots.

Cath’s kittens, all have colorful jackets to wear,
She takes the cats ’walkies’, oh how people...

In the summer twilight 
A gargoyle silhouette yawns
A rat scuffles with something in 
The lavish undergrowth 
Gravel crunches under foot and
Grasshoppers click their brittle wings

Watered thoughts slosh in my Head 
As I walk amongst the darker trees

Magic mystery minces me and musters
Moving fantasy!
Shards of light...

OH! DARLING ONE

Oh, darling, my lovely one;
Oh, darling one
As springtime beauty marches on;
The inviting myths of your loveliness marches on;
And you are the violets;
And you're  the sun;
And you are roses petals;
Reaching toward the clouds;
And the sentiments my darling;
You are beyond comparing so debonair;

For I...

Liberace: Was he Prince or Princess
The very question delivers winces
  Watch him on You Tube
  His joints sure look lubed
The key is when he walks that he minces...

The one of my heart
this girl is so cheap
speaking so simply
behaving with humility
but when she means it
many times she devours me
the heart I hold she eats all
the life blood she drinks all
my being she minces into beef
an empty shell I stagger
without honor to the world
with...

She carries home onions in a string bag.
She walks in time-dinged tweed and wilted woolens
She is of age and does not count her days.
She knuckles cords of twisted tendons.
She treads low-heeled in frayed suede booties.
She wraps a skimpy scarf around a pinched hairnet.
She carries yellow...

Here is a truth as hard as honed steel,
It cuts like a knife but rolls like a wheel
Approaching with promise of nearness and love,
But slicing as deeply as hate from above.
It severs not the connection in between,
Yet it minces a Mother in ways unseen.
After years...

Those that shove past you, glare and scatter,
That drive the scares, in your wits and slither,
That smile and stare, at things you did master,
And then them that you will, lose and move,
Or through thicks, care for and pursue.

The bearers of the whips of black scythes,
Folded...
