Best Poise Poems

They walk with justice - poise

Wearing shoes of charity works' persistence

Along life's marathon of enduring faith and compassion

Toward fulfilling path of God-driven service

Where "walk* your talk" is taken for granted.

*1Thessalonians 2:12  ...Walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.

indescribable,
untranscribable ~ 
imbibable, your exotic, quixotic perfume
spiraled me into a quandary
of dirty laundry, penance,
no superintendents in attendance

I come from ragged boys, no poise,
just noise ~ a quiver of quavers,
no saviors of silence,
but if some sap sullies our sister
we'll flatten him

you come from platinum
a blessed nest...

an idle wave to a crony
is how i begin every
expedition to.

maple and oak render
benevolence as we
exchange us.

masters of this realm.
i sense their silent
rhetoric built
from time and
in discipline. 

making no bones, the
forest amplifies a familiar tone;
a quaint display; a 
hero’s welcome.

vermillion leaves trickle down
like confetti i...

Note nice nook
Bright bold book


Prize prompt play 
Spread sweet say


Sex stills spawns
Prize play pawn


Sweet sure sounds
Glimpse grand grounds


Poise plots pun
Rich roar runs


Time turns trip
Get good grip


Live love laugh
Seek sure stuff


Bright brave bloom
Grand gift groom

Pursue prompt prime
Clear crazy chimes


Loss leaving lines
Frozen feels fine


Mind moves matter
Fuzz froths flatter


Pique pickled plot
Sweet sour signs slot


Lofty loose lute
Force feed fine flute


Muse musters more
Grace grieves galore


Being brings boom
Grab gracious gloom

Wisteria's Poise

Wisteria vines playfully
 Climb the fence
Peacefully entwined midst
 The ivy so rich

 
Tulips open with
Morning light
Regal and colorful
Waxy petals take flight

 
As they drink in the
 Misty dawn’s warm day
Toward night they close
 Until morn is on its way

 
The old oak still
 Holds...

Winter, you made your poise known
   swayed drooping of upper leaves
      now gray, lay on underside
        unbowed by love heartfelt greaves
          coy...

Charm cheers calm choice
Play puzzles poise


Sense sweet swirls sound
Gain grips grand grounds


Groom groovy glare
Set straight sweet stare


List lovely lines
Delight deep fine


Fetch fabled flair
Art aids affair


Bright brilliant blooms
Dense deeper doom


Feed fickle fare
Whim whets word ware


Juices join joy
Pry piquant ploy


Lift lasting looks
Bright blossoms book


Touch tender thoughts
Pick puzzle...

Seek to know truth when beauty speaks,
Touch a deep swell as heart finds voice;
Yield to the proof in sublime streaks,
Live magic spell in charming choice;
Express with grace your precious feel.
Frame a sure tact with courage bold,
Observe each face with wise goodwill;
Note how cheer facts the...

Hot soup here
Keeping at arms length;
Face mask call-signs

~~~~~~~~~


Antiseptic atmosphere
Pockets of isolation;
Together yet distanced

~~~~~~~~~


Empty public places
Ghost town feeling;
Pandemic toll

~~~~~~~~~


Lockdown hits hard
Widespread anxiety;
Fear chokes worry

~~~~~~~~~


Global bad news
Broken economies;
A tragic retreat

~~~~~~~~~


Just a small virus
Strangles our mortality;
Deadly lung infection

~~~~~~~~~


Across the world
Colour blind viral works;
Shades of Spanish flu

News flash
Death toll...

Come to know truth
In simple proof


Beauty speaks sure
With blooms so pure


See lovely fest
As change notes best


Watch all things change
Curious yet strange


Each part fits well
Watch nature tell


The seasons craft
Deep range and drafts


No need to fear
Change that appears


Each fits the space
Of time and place


The song is sung
Brief...

Prime poignant peaks
Sense stillness speak


Obscure odd opt
Surreal streams stop


Intent inks ire
Succinct sweet sire


Sigh simple say
Sensuous signs stray


Explore each etch
Sparkling strains sketch

Choice now dictates as words find form,
Poise firms the stake in simple norms.


Style shapes the fit when voice fits tell,
Stretch sanguine wit to weave new spell.


Firm then bold sight with ample proof,
Lean on the light that shines as truth.


Watch cryptic lines align new cause,
Sparkle and...

Hot mid-afternoon
Windy air loiters late;
Drowsy feelings drown

~~~~~~~~~


Slanting shadows
Deserted playground;
Evening weighs heavy

~~~~~~~~~


By the old pathway
Not a soul in sight;
Equatorial misdemeanour

~~~~~~~~~


City-state mystic
Moments separate;
Zen illumination

~~~~~~~~~


Simple looks plain
Still posture speaks loud;
Silence spreads spacious

~~~~~~~~~


Intervene now
Disperse congregations;
Isolation permutates

~~~~~~~~~


Dusk settles fast
Nightfall brings wetness;
Rain plays moist music

~~~~~~~~~


City skyline
Moon in mystic aura;
Touching revelations

A seal atop
a buoy. At anchor we popped up
to such a sight in the Lynher River.
Just how could it balance so?     – sleek
and slippery on this sphere, wobbling in the water.
Sighted it slid into the tideway. Into the salt sea, cloudy
with...
