Best Quickly Poems

Quite overlooked...
Such lovely things

So fragile and quickly fading, they are...
Into precious forgotten memory

A candle flame, 
           extinguished by a breeze
A petal 
           as it flows...

it takes time but we are aware as thinking creatures
that eventually work their way through the benefits
of a scientific probability this and statistical that age
ads and news casts saying buy computer inventions
digital obstruction of natures analogue scale of truth

How quickly things can change 
And go from good to bad to worse 
Or, just as likely, do the same 
But only in reverse.

Very little stays in place
And thus, the way we feel
Reflects the ups and downs of life
With which we daily deal.

The trick is...

Hiding in darkness
laughter fills the night air then
death strikes, swift, sudden...

I miss the play of outside sunshine,
But the nose knows it’s safer to quaver,
From going outdoors, acting sanguine.
Raw throat, stalled breathing - I’m on the floor,
Caused by flying too close to the ceiling.
Snow was in store, but I dressed poor,
Saw the sights, had too good...

Yikes! Arrow targeting me
Cupid, please choose another
Scars from your last shot remain
Heart still bleeding red

There once was a poor man from Kent
So many "ladies" used his coin when He spent
Though not in the way of a true mans intent
more like the speed of the seed that He sent
So quickly He came to a concluding dismay
it was barely a coital...

While you face the past
 Your ass faces the future.
 Turn around quickly!

Here’s to lights out, to pens down, 
To checking out.

Here's to Friday.

To the first pat on a back, kiss of a cheek
And clink of a glass.

To bars, beaches, basements, the corner shop,
And dining at dawn with a pocketful of change.
 
Here’s to letting clothes lie...

These two poems composed to honor this truly great poet,
Elinor Wylie....
 
(1.)
Heaven Smiles And Its Light Awaits
 
Icy winds have died, winter fled
Hope has sung, Spring has sprung
Love and promise have wed 
new life's radiant glow has brung
music to wake the dead.
 
Faded are snows...

The day I was liberated and free,
After a hard summer job finally,
I picked up my used, “new car”
I did not park it that far
Suddenly there was a catastrophe

At sixteen, tears came pouring down my face
Through the window I watched in sheer disgrace
A man smashed into...

Ice Sleep Quickly...

Slowly counting backwards from one hundred
if restless, yet most every night/early morning,
when tiredness defeats ability to remain alert
though rarely these days no difficulty to dream
way before mentally mouthing the number zero,

a segue way into unconscious state disengages
awareness, nor does yours truly recount numb
burr,...

November is disappearing quickly
autumn colors remain unnoticed by the masses
only thing to look forward to is Thanksgiving,
but after the turkey and pumpkin pie are gobbled up, what is left?

The approaching killer cold of winter, that's what,
sweeping in with the anger of my father
after watching political...

Doing an Irish Jig***

(To the music of The Bothy Band)
          ———         ———
So early in the morning,
If you looked, you
Couldn’t tell that I
Was really awake,
With my mind mixing
Through an...
