Best Ninette Poems
dusk
rains hope
perfumed to
quench crestfallen
roses as crickets
susurrate hymns
for a new
tuscan
dawn
cry
in the
privacy
of your sad thoughts
behind louvered blinds
till pain wanes…then
wipe away
your tears:
smile

I
believe
in the way
we look at things
gaining perspective
light reaches eyes
mind and soul
then we
shine
Spring
arrived
Robin lands.
singing! "Tut-Tut"
Wake up! Daffodils
Tulips, come up!
Where are you?
appear
Bloom
Sun
Warm rain
Brings forth life.
Pansy's bright smile
Vernal Equinox
Budding trees, leaves
Nesting birds
Hatchlings
Chirp
Grass
ripples
In the breeze
Lilacs woo bees.
Vivid lavender
butterflies flock
Mesmerized
fragrance
Spring

Sing, Birds Sing
Sun
Smiling
Gleefully
Blushes blue dawn
While robin's musing
Pink-dogwood dreams
Rejoicing
Blooming
Spring
Where
Playful
Cardinal
Hops, hops, and sits
Then curves a sharp spin
Flying up high
Savoring
Freedom
Flight
Lone
Sparrow
Sitting on
Red maple tree
Whistles and dances
Reveling in
Lilacs and
Lilies
White
Sing
Birds sing
Exalting
Season's beauty
Warbling, frolicking
Serenading
Cheerfully
Sing birds
Sing
Sing
Of joy
Of prairies
Of giggling streams
Of butterflies, bees
Flowering trees
Sing of hearts
Sing of
Love

love
can be
a gamble

hoping to quench
the craving
of parched
hearts

spring
showers
sings in her
mellifluous
voice on the roof tops
aids the new birth
with sunshine's
gentle
love

Hope
sparkled
brightly like
a ruby stone
once upon a time
until I learned
I had to
polish
faith

RAINDROPS
Small
raindrops
drizzling from
cluster of cloud
holding deep dolor
releasing pain
moistening
grass in
mass.

All around
A pretty show
Floating in the air
Landing places

With more

Lost
colors
of a vague
sunset, unfolds
stars that paint sanguine
dreamscapes from pale
plum verses
of blurred
past
thoughts
wander
in the mind
like wild horses
they prance and gallop
with flowing manes
till worn out
they seek
rest

Grief
washes
over me
- a tsunami
of pain that soon ebbs.
Cleansed, I embrace
life with a
dance of
Joy

'Say It In Nine - Old or New' PoetryContest
tale
from old
Slavic god
idol worshipped
sage and protector
season’s spirit
winds obey
chiming
toll
gusts
from gods
stab with blades
of potent breath
freezing the tundra
and stripping oaks
till summer’s
warm air
wafts
winds
rage on
in winter
born from the sea
called by Stribog’s horn
warrior’s songs
command his
grandsons
blow!

Cold
winds blow,
fall ends and
winter begins.
Hibernating bulbs
will softly sleep
until the
next spring
thaw.
