Best Ovation Poems

In one of her melodies of sundresses, 
Heavenly Light erupts in full blaze, 
well dressed in yellow, orange, and caramel.

The audience is passionately waiting
to bathe in her extraordinary performance, 
of her golden rays.

With the evening coming to an end 
creation cannot hold back with a...

Conductor’s wand in final phrase
Forestalled the  anticipated  roar,
Cast deafening hush of silent awe,
Leaving the audience ablaze…

raindrops fill petals
summer lily bows her head
takes gentle applause

Bright sun and cool breeze
Through green branches of tall trees
Along the park's trail

Reveal whitest clouds
And birds in flight and song as
We walked hand in hand...

Guitar;
black slick 
acoustic difficulty
for minds that show teeth
grit 
defiant stand
serve as road block

in the way of raw expression
ART
bullheaded you
self made doubter
lover of fail at yir' right hand 
tripping over what's left
notes chords
waiting on deck for launch
beside yir'self with holding back
somewhere
beneath hard crust 
molten lava pops
pours...

Heard upon the heavy, humid air,
	now unpleasantly warm,
came further reverberating rumbles,
	that proclaimed an approaching storm,
and we were made very much aware
	Nature’s ire was evident,
as with bolts of forked lightning,
	towering clouds were rent.

Seen in angriest dungeon,
	as befits a brooding sky;
and mesmerised by her fury,
	we watched, as...

to face that winter night
to watch the heap below
the sweep, the belching chimney pipe
and lights, dulled by fog and snow
the wind, as well, it swallowed whole
became that final movement - the last ovation
and winter took its hold.

and, in watching this unfold
I saw the soul of...

Time's gears move trickling
At the speed of sound,
Jotting verbs and urges
To make it sexy selling
Souls for fat drunken minutes
Draping rustic yeas and nays
To the critic, it's his job, you know.
Guys waiting, in line with their own, 
To catch a glimpse and rote autograph
Signed 231 times...

You ever live a life full of mysteries and
Just wonder.....
Who are you destined to be and what kind 
Of things you were destined to do....
Coming across with people who open the doors
To success... so every new accomplishment
I hold up a fist symbolizing my individuality as...

And the Oscar goes to………..
your performance was brilliant.

But don't think for a second that
I will give you a standing ovation.

Sense altering fertility:
                   a stoic female falters

Seven consecutive avid hours in each four weeks 
I mull over mitigating my chosen ongoing celibacy 
Primitive drive permeates realms where...

Don’t provide a culinary delight
On a gourmet’s table like a goose
Instead, stand up for just causes and alight
Your upward mobility flight of stairs like the Indian grey mongoose 

To strut your agility to take on and slay cobras
Which in one form or another your tranquil...

It is no secret that some people crave affirmation
Seeking anyone who will give them confirmation,
Apparently not grounded in their own foundation
Wanting anyone to tell them they are a sensation.

What a pity! For every person is awarded citation
Here, in life, for having their own unique duration
Keep...

Welcome of The Palms Ovation

Cold sharp dawn
Of chrome lit silver
Dusty summer heat no more
Clean polished sun
Risen in perfect sea of azure skies

The lines of palms
Are twinkling suffused natures decorative
Flimsy delicate tips
Of fronds caught dancing
Shimmer and shimmy together
With a soft winds breezing
Glitter electric in their
Skyward dusting...

Pain sometimes rains strain
That catapults us either to seek to inflict punishment
On others as churlish challenges drain
Our stamina until if misused pain robs from our judgment

Powers of discernment essential
To separate fiction from fact
Trash from quintessential
Enabling us to care and to detract

From misdirecting our energy
In spreading...
