Best Plainness Poems

I do not want sweet pretty poems
Of unmarked sky where fancies roam
Give me the bones of ghosts to haunt
Sweet pretty poems, I do not want

I've had enough of gilded gold
Whose pretense of value is sold
Until blunt plainness calls its bluff
Of gilded gold, I've had enough

My...

When we set out on a road trip
We didn’t stick to the old script
And were gladly amazed
And rarely unfazed
Hitting strange towns though some were skipped

We started from Thatsnot, OK
Which was more or less ok
But then stayed for the view
When we drove into
The town of Overlo,...

What is the meaning of this life?

Is it pain and grief and strife?

Is it the happy and joyful things?

Those things that life finally brings?

Is it the dark and dreary trail?

Is it the plainness oh so stale?

Is it love, or little children?

Is it death that’s so...

In a night where the sons of sons sat under the stars
My father’s father told the sons of the wisdom of the sun
The beauty of the world is beheld in who we love
To live and to die  they are all we try to have
A...

Pt.1
     Another dawn, another beginning of filling the hours of the day with despair and mundane longing to forget my troubled past.  Each day my mind is pulverized with agonizing memories of days long past.  My body is entombed...

In arcade of rigorousness
that brought the use of scrupulousness
walking in the valley of rectitudeness
with a pure mind of purity

which truncate not, witting truthfulness
to a steadfast adherence of walking uprightness
showing the way to an unfailing trustworthiness
in the great mind of Chastity

road to life for righteousness

Sunshine, life's primordial sustainer
Channeling to all, the sun's energy
Plant, animal, insect, fish or other
Without sunshine, not one of them would be 

Sunshine can uplift your mood and spirit
When you are feeling gloomy and depressed
It can cheer you up to rise above it
And impart a pleasant...

A blank page a hollow one 
Its plainness sickening 
A page without a scribble is faceless 
Without a story or experience behind it 
Nothing for emulation  
But with a little colour or few words
Life is breathed into it 

So is a life without direction
And...

I sat in the rain with the world at my feet
and I sighed.
Staring into it's eyes; it's limitless gaze.
I swooned amidst the tragedy of a starving visage.
I cried at the birth of morning light;
Of the sun dappled vastness; the twittering congregation
that scorned my affections with...

ALL IS SIMPLICITY
Create a little business for
the Eye to be drawn from
trees, to return them with more
glee.Variety, lively touches,
surprising effects to make 
the heart dance so pictures 
walk out from their frame.
All is simplicity and elegance
almost motionless plainness 
in a grand style.The eye may
be cheated...

Writing with peace about the Avenger
She assembled words of worship
Simplicity filled her pages

Writing with perseverance for the Builder
She bumbled with joyful jubilance
With truth, she engages

Writing with praise for the Creator
She crumbled her satisfied soul 
Joy motivated her pen

Writing with poise about the Deliverer
She dissembled all...

I stand tall among the same restful souls;

        Within the shadow of a broken heart.

    Trumpet of harmony sweet fragrant bloom, 

        Restored innocence after death consoles.

Love Delayed 

 
Who could have known?
 
The pattern of life was already here.
Hot and cold in its earthliness.
It only required us to find our willingness
On a simple classroom first-glance,
Even as neither was looking for the other.
 
There…
 
In a small learning room no one...

My favorite quilting shape’s a square;
It’s simple, quick to stitch and spare.
Such plainness shouldn’t be ignored,
For it can form a checkerboard.

This pattern’s friendly and it’s neat.
To quilt beginners, it’s a treat.
Each square attaches to the next;
No circle folds, which leave me vexed.

A rectangle’s not bad...

The area shared with the back of a chair.
Where the spine tails off and leads onto a square.
It's the end and the start of all back and beyond,
Not the standard companion for skin to flesh bond.
But regardless of plainness you managed to find
How handprints and...
