Best Nonet Poems
In sandy dunes on my back I lie
Dreaming of warm beaches, blue sky
And a girl named Lorelei
On memories I fly
War seen from on high
I vow to try
Not to cry
As I
Die

For the Rhyming Nonet contest.
Last night I dreamt that I was dancing
in soft foggy mists designed in
pearly bows, frolicking from
thin fluffy silver waves-
blanketing moonlit
skies within hour
less hills and
jasmine
fields
free
flowing
through blue bliss
lakes, in lucid
motions, as seamless
ripples reflect a sweet
rhapsody of a golden
rose sprouting amidst glistening
rays, as I name mauve stars with your love
Sunset Shiverings
When the sun goes down
we shiver, it's cold!
Stop complaining, you look so old!
Inside,don a warm sweater.
Ah, yes~ so much better!
Now light the fireplace
Warm my chilled hands.
My lips.
Glow!

I kissed the moon tonight, enveloped
with quartz amulets of Luna
as luminous streams of stars
paint my poetic sky
glazed in citrine dust
tracing rain dews
in your eyes
to cleanse
these
scars
I hide
within teal
rivers, swiftly
ferrying lanterns
whilst wishing upon the
Milky Way that your cosmic
rhymes would save my aching soul from
drowning , so take my heart, engrave love
If in one thousand years they'll ask me
What made this one so different
I'll say lust for purity
And control lingered on
Only this time God
Was shaped like an
'S' with two
Lines through
It
To live forever like the phoenix;
To re-taste the process of birth;
From the cleansing flames, to rise
Knowing death is no end;
An eternal soul
On a journey
May just find
Supreme
Bliss.
Day
Passed by,
Reliving.
Parked in a lane,
Hid from watchers as we lovingly kissed,
Losing count of love as emotions thrilled.
Until sunset
Meant time up,
We left
Sad.
Lady Luck ~ (the Nonet)
Tears, shadows that swallow other tears
united and out of control
eyes decompose like soft coal
water, in swimming hole
everglade pistol
celestial toll
river pole
dead soul
pain
~~~~~
All
over
again, pause
deep darken jaws
engraved, digging claws
deteriorating flaws
still alive, eating what was
waste, rain, disabling because
nature lingers, emotional raw

Not
loved by
the critics,
artist Kinkade
adds a special glow
to his pastoral art.
A number of plates graced with
his cozy scenes adorn my home.
Kinkade understands a woman's heart.

At night, I w e e p, unable to s l e e p
(The day somehow passes in pain)
Alone with none to comfort
memories flood my mind
flowing out as dreams
built of gravestones
Sorrow chasm
numbs all
pain

Down in the depths of your beating heart,
I have felt a change in rhythm,
Twist so hard for you and I ,
Stranded in the midst of ,
The good and the bad,
We the dreamers,
Lost a count ,
Of a ,
Breath.
Carmine, orange, and rust paint the trees
as they drip from Jack Frost's brush,
clashing with emerald green,
they set treetops afire
with blazing color,
a splendorous
November
work of
art.
Red
cerise
and scarlet
colored pigments
fuel vermilion flames
that scorch green canopies,
crimson ashes ink their wake
dabbled with scarlet and yellow
as the leaves change almost overnight.
you move towering mountains like faith,
and you run from pillar to post
to ensure that everything
and everyone is fine,
but do not forget
who's number one;
take care of
yourself
first!
Eggs
Laid on
Milkweed leaves,
Caterpillars
Soon emerge and weave
Through the plant as they feast
Then cocoon, a week at least
On a warm spring day, when it's right
A butterfly takes its maiden flight
~
Upon monarch's wings and morning dew
A summer day has come to you
Scent of rose on lilac breeze
Wafts gently through the trees
Butterflies float by
'Neath azure sky
As birds sing
Their sweet
Song

You bloomed in heartbeats of cream daisy,
longing to be born like breaths of
gold honeysuckle petals,
but, when fate smeared silence
on twinkling throbs of
innocence, life
sighed in crisp
embers
of
faith
as your
feet basked in
peace above earth.
Weaving shine with a
pearly smile, you swirled in
a snow-white lily's soul when
heaven melted in moonstruck sight;
I'll miss you, beyond love, my flower.
