Best Reet Poems

R-ise of the beacon begins, 
O-n twentieth December; 
S-hadows have disappeared, 
A-s you get up from slumber.
L-et Monday night turn
I-nto a sunny Tuesday; 
N-ew dawn has broken, 
D-arkness fades
A-way.

A-llow the moon to go, 
R-ays will warm your heart; 
C-old chill has vanished, 
E-ven haze and...

Hear the clip-clop of iambic beats
Sounds like Shelley with a side of Keats
Is that the scritchity-scratch of a goose quill flickin’
Or just the tippity-tap of some mouse you clickin’..?

So you a prophet poet, regular Marley meets Dylan
Writin’ about oppression and unjust killin’
Shootin' the Sheriff with...

Reet peteet
go the feet
in Silk Shiny Stockings
toe tapping
knee slapping
Dizzy's beat with Hendricks' words ...
the Poet Laureate of Jazz, dear Jon.

Feel the funk
laid down by Monk
sway with Bird's Just Friends,
those sounds that sear
through time and heart strings.
You'll never hear
another era as
syncopated as that of the Duke.

- Let’s start from the very beginning!
- Ok, I know, it’s a very good place to start.
- If you want to know how to read
you have to learn the alphabet.
As far as we are not in a race
you can face 26 letters in one phrase.

Petals

Rise thru snow

In pregnant blooms,

New ...

Greet

The sun

In bright plumes,

Dancing thru long

Eves.

P-lease God with obedience
A-llow your feet to walk in His ways; 
M-ake His words your priority, 
E-ven if you're in a wrong place.
L-et the Lord be glorified by following His will; 
A-lways wear a humble heart, beating every sinful thrill.

D-oor to sweet success
I-s open for you to take; 
V-ictorious journey in life
I-s not free of heartache.
N-either door to sweet success nor window of opportunity closes; 
A-iming to randomly give the much needed chances.

L-et the door to sweet success
A-llow you to taste the win;

D-ay second March morn,
E-ventide loses its gray; 
L-ong and lonely night
I-s just fading
A-way.

M-idnight moon passes by; 
E-arly dawn shares the light; 
R-ain and haze have ended, 
C-oal clouds become white.
A-fter the twilight is gone, 
D-ark shadows do the same; 
O-vernight smoke clears the air, to...

Spring is coming
Prepare the earth ahead
Raise the flowerbeds tall
Inch in the sun high and bright
Niche the shadows on the wall
Greet the morning light.

Image a garden of flowered opulence
Saturated with blooming rainbow beauty confidence

Crocus come first, white, purple, yellow, blue
Opening the way for daffodllic dreams and...

I like to let my mind drift.
M ake believe I can shape shift.
A rise and go now to outer space.
G reet any alien by warm embrace.
I nteract by means of telepathy.
N urture good communication generally.
E nlightened return to educate humanity....

S-oftly beneath the white clouds in the sky, 
M-inding the joy on your birthday;

G-reet the morn with a smile, 
L-ips that grin in gladness; 
A-llowing you to say hello, 
D-enying the deep cold darkness.
Y-ell with a smile in the morning, saying the grace from the sky; 
S-hout and let it all out, early birds are flying high.

M-eet the morn with a smile 
I-nstead of frown or pout; 
C-ool breeze brings mirth, 
H-oping to sweep the doubt.

L-et your brow show no wrinkle; 
L-et your face wear a smile, 
E-ither eye will twinkle.
