Best Noontime Poems

showers at noon
drip through our heels--
carving footprints

on leaf- whisked mud

              *

taking boots off
cleansed by soft dew--
we pause 'neath oaks

to learn rain's dance

the glare of noontime
scorches young August petals
rain taps on wild blooms---
and summer cools her flamed heat
to  gently fondle morn’s dew

J-ust view 
E-very daybreak, 
Z-one of dawn is lovely, 
Z-enith waits for the beacon to 
A-scend.

It's a glorious, beautiful noon
I wish were dressed in green;
spring is around the corner.
Hosanna! Lavenders will soon be
in bloom and smell so sweet!
I'm sitting here
on a weather-beaten bench 
watching birds hopping about,
tap dancing with their beaks. 
Strangers walk past me, left and right
Yonder, the afternoon...

No person had relief,
noxious spreading disease,
notorious caused deaths,
nobody quite possessed,
now last rites are given,
noon time clock is ticking,
noose hangs unforgiven.

Z-enith's light, 
Z-one of brightness
A-ims to emit beacon's shine at noontime.

M-onday morn has broken, 
A-s you wake from slumber; 
Y-our birthday ninth January 
E-rases the rugged weather. 
T-wilight is already gone, 
T-he moon is passing by; 
E-arly dawn has come out, bringing light to the sky. 

D-ark shadows slowly fade, 
U-ntil the sun is sublime;...
