Best Ninette Poems

Grief

washes

over me

- a tsunami

of pain that soon ebbs.

Cleansed, I embrace

life with a 

dance of

Joy

cry
in the 
privacy
of your sad thoughts
behind louvered blinds
till pain wanes…then
wipe away
your tears:
smile

dusk
rains hope
perfumed to 
quench crestfallen
roses as crickets 
susurrate hymns
for a new
tuscan
dawn...

I 
believe
in the way
we look at things
gaining perspective
light reaches eyes
mind and soul
then we
shine...

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 
treading on sand
in uncharted land 
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

Lost
colors
of a vague 
sunset, unfolds
stars that paint sanguine
dreamscapes from pale 
plum verses 
of blurred
past...

Leaves
Falling
All around
A pretty show
Floating in the air
Landing places
Together
With more
Leaves

thoughts
            wander
         in the mind
      like wild horses
 they prance and gallop
   with flowing manes

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.
