Best Playful Poems

Feasting on my splendor ravishing to your eyes
Greet me seductively, watch me bathe in sunrise,
Breathing me in, devouring scent of intimacy,
Caressing my breeze teasing you affectionately
Cuddling love’s essence in elysium of my affinity
Holding me in your trance of her magical allure
Enamoring doting senses of passions...

The joy of God gifted out loud.
and darting, darting not from fright.
A playful moon amidst cold clouds.
I saw a lovely moon last night.

Full and fast — I’m fully engrossed.
A beacon scanning the sky-sea.
This mannah, an orotund host,
created perfect just for me!

There on the velvet grass so green
     I sprawl and yawn 'neath sunny skies.
Came all at once upon my scene,
     this fluttering of butterflies.

I sprawl and yawn 'neath sunny skies;
     stand up, get...

 A palette of the mind,
Crayola colors now entwine
and symmetry thus unwinds
life is never color-blind.

Dreaming seas of abstract bliss,
waves of chromatic kinesis;
I would be, oh so remiss,
if inspiration, I dismissed.

As I awaken and grab a brush,
muse I never dare to hush,
to paint and easel, I...

To run with daybreak’s ambient wind,
sliding past a legion of balmy trees
while  fragrant vapor meets the dew;
like a satin ribbon twirling ‘round 
fresh dawn, awakened:  and it playfully
ruffles my dress through mild whispers
brushing my air-tossed hair:

~One more soft roulette 
of tangy draft pats...

The sun shone  brightly
On this breezy spring day 
A  black cat stalked  a yellow bird in play,
As he stepped lightly across the fields of hay
 Covered with dew , Alarmed , the bird flew 
Leaving the cat with nothing to do

MISDEMEANOR 

A soft lisp runs through blonde summer grasses,
shoving at kites or the hems of long skirts.
Umbrellas and hats stir as it passes, 
jumbling at picnics, it teases and flirts.  
It picks up speed while playing with Marty, 
and takes his land legs as...

There are goldfish swimming in the recesses of my dendrite pool.
They are flashing their tails and being ever so cool.
I am trying to ignore them, thinking they might go away.
Trixie is laughing, for they very much want to play.

Okay. I say, just for a second...

clouds up playfully dancing in the sky
scrapes and patterns nonchalantly floating by
shrouds of marshmallow forms that mystify
cottoncandy shapes in guises quite flamboyant
grounded gusts released on wings of butterfly
landscapes enjoy their suitors so gallant
magical theatrics in slow motion
whimsical courtship games incite emotion

here is my rose
my heart on a stem
a gentle whisper
a soft caress
a murmur bent on a melody
a sparkle in the night
sweetest perfume
to catch your attention
a kiss blown your way
a playful wink
under a full moon
a siren's call

Sly low tide sneaks up to smooch the smooth shore
that holds old footsteps left behind us
and lends itself to sand castles
standing guard until high tide
plovers dart on fleet feet
across sodden sands
spindle-legged girls
hunt conch shells —
starfish 
found!
Blue
waters 
glistening
aqua appeal —
white horse sea-magic 
spindrift manes rise from...

In spring we come out to see life,
out from our long cold winter's nap.
Bears are so loving not wildlife.
Love can be grand.

I am your big fun bear asap,
you are my fury playful wife,
I love to see you in gift-wrap.

Tonight we need some fun nightlife,
eating fish...
