Best Newness Poems

Washing away drab, dour and rotting elements,
falling rains cleanse our earth anew.
Sunlight returns to beam upon fresh, crisp nature.
I have begged the rain to pour newness on me,
but never does it heed my plea or grace my need.
Rain, I desperately beseech, please, as a cloud...

opening the door

to the joy of forgiveness -

a glow fills my heart

This light has dimmed among the stars
Flickering from up above seen from afar
With a heart crushed by an asteroid
Crumbling into pieces falling to the ground

Let the earth swallow them up and go on
Growing life within sprouting a new one
Tasting the new waters from the rain...

In Spring young thoughts turn to fancy
life around us is renewed
ladies wearing gowns all chintzy

Do entice men with a curtsey
careful least it's a wedding bed
in Spring young thoughts turn to fancy

Now the ladies, a few doxy's
love to spin,  their skirts all spread
Ladies wearing gowns...

Chirup, Chirupup is now gone away 
For the Cricket now sleeps in the deep woods
Deep down under a bed of dry decaying leaves
Awaiting the spring's warmth to call__ come

Out across the now no-fence pasture
Lies a giant pan of Rice Krispies cookies
White on tan the dead...

thoughts words and deeds changed  
mad wisdom or wise madness ...
Saul into saint Paul

 I am dirty
I am a molded creature
A mammal
My heart is fixed
My body dirt, my body clay
I was  made by the hands of a mighty, mighty KING
creator of ALL and EVERYTHING
I have a beating heart
Helps flow my beating parts
My heart is flesh
Yet my soul...

A new start is always good
beginning afresh completely new
this opportunity came to me late
least expected it not having a clue

But when it came it was a thrill
to do my own thing in my time
using this time what I thought best
relaxing at peace life's a rhyme

our Spring was a whirlwind of newness
learning our emotions
exploring the worlds we were
that had left their long-held orbits
as we began a dance among the stars
in each other's arms spinning thru galaxies
never losing the gravity in each other's eyes
we then burst into the fullness of Summer

A Spring day brings new, new hopes and desires
Newness of fresh green grass with lambs frolicking upon
Butterflies hovering their silken wings seemingly on fire
With the quickness of their beat as they wait their turn
to drink the nectar of life that they yearn

A Spring day brings...

Sometimes I miss

 the way you used to ask for a kiss.

The way you'd gaze n my eyes.

And see past the lies.

The words you used to say,

Like tell me how pretty I am today.

How much do I mean to you?

Seems like anymore I don't have...

Summertime soothes and refreshes,
Softens our rough edges,
Lifts us from life’s dredges
And grants fresh feel meshes.
Spring announces time to go out
By popping newness all about.
Spring wakes all our senses
So we drop droopy defenses
And allow summer’s coming ways
To frolic cheer through our days.

Let us jump, run and...
