Best Remarking Poems
StillnessI was a learned meteorologist, studying azure atmosphere and vivid weather,
To give a prophetic daily forecast, like bees gliding remote locales of heather.
Often I had to issue advisories and warnings, like a jumbo roar of yellow lion,
So plans could be made and trouble avoided, until...

A Grand American TraditionVoting day at long last has arrived.
Scrambling through closet,
a cavernous space in accumulation.
In the deepest darkest corner,
purpose achieved,
garnering my three by five inch American flag,
glorious yet demure.
This my opportunity to come out of the closet,
unveiled, exposed,
an upstanding silent majority American patriot.
Flag of three...

Winter Learning DucksAfternoons the sky shuts down around the swamp's warning tapes
propped up with restoration piping and dirt leak fencing.
We’re fleeing toward the wild, seeking the names and shapes,
the same way the Cedar Waxwing flit and grip for berries tree to tree.
Canada Geese are easy, they...

The Secret Lives of Chimney Pots ViStrategically placed when raised
Upwards
By your masterful and well
Practiced hand.
To mingle with ever changing
Skylines
That frown down with arrogant
Scowls
Upon the indigenous populous of
This just and tolerant island.
To study and pontificate upon
Predictable behaviour,
When so lamentably remarking,
Then to inwardly digest;
Our conclusions...

Within a Gilded Frame
wandering the rooms of the art gallery was bliss
and soon, I found myself in the rooms of Gothic and Renaissance
I could just fall into the frames and become part of the paintings
the beauty is tragic and beautiful, the colors sublime
his eyes follow me and whisper-...

The March of the PenguinsThe little penguins march along the ice
Battling against them
The might of the long winter’s crisis
The small ones under their mother’s bellies they crawl
Into a world of cold, their eyes opened
Marching weeks and months
Just to find
Some miracle rough food
The mothers and children stay...

To Kill a Mockingbird: the Unsung HeroesTo Kill a Mockingbird is both a young girl’s coming-of-age story and a more nebulous production about the reasons and consequences of bigotry and discrimination, examining how good and evil can coexist within a particular community or an individual.

To Help a Hob - Part 1There "he" stood in front of me, the deep forest behind him framing
His ancient face like an emerald halo, the growing dark of dusk getting
Deeper by the moment. He was no more than two-and-a-half feet tall,
Though just as wide as he was vertical, clothed in...

I Am
You walk beside me through the streets
Forever remarking on my birds and bees
Sensing my presence, though fleeting
Hoping to know me but never reaching
Out to grasp the hand that holds your hope
You see me in the eyes of a friend or lover
Discerning their inner beauty, their...

ChoicesStay now with me , and listen to my sighs,
Bidding me to drain the curse and know it all.
Feigned that I spake ill of thee,
As to who beholds two currents thwart amid
the fluctous profound.
Pass , pass upon your way , for
I grow never old...and...

Morning RunThe wind blows Morning's breath into your wake...
A dragonfly speeds past, a flash of color
To show that spring's advance guards are awake
A rhythm of steps, flurries of flakes,
And all's in a hurry!
I cannot tell whether beauty or wonder
Will...
