Best Resuming Poems

We walk, hand in hand, surrounded by green
where breeze through the trees makes color serene.

We stop for a while; you give me a kiss
as sun's mellow yellow radiates bliss.

Resuming our stroll, some flowers we see.
They are the colors of felicity -

A rainbow of hues from...

Feeling awkward to ring his own doorbell
Fearing someone else has taken his place
He lingers there, standing on the dark porch 
Jealous of the solitary moth buzzing her air,

Walking away briskly, unsure what to say
If she opens the door at this midnight hour,
He retreats hastily, resuming...

Bluebells are a ringin' and springin' up like kites.
Thyme is rustling along, glimpsing at dazzling sights.

Fox tails are a wagin' in the breeze, zig-zagin',
strutting their charisma, to be petted beggin'.

Roses are perfuming, famous scent resuming,
competing with nearby lilac flowers blooming.

Be still, my bleeding heart, absorb...

Shana Aubrey Harris – 
 whose existence begat by dada and da mama; aye
revel your bursting at figurative seams viz maturation, and know by
chatting over telephone, your aura, charisma, 
   and persona finds me blinking back tear ducts 
   ready to...

Ours was daily mysterious,
sometimes near mystical, 
rapture;
a sensual yet platonic
dorm-mate love affair,
within the only male grad student corridor
at SFSU.

He was the presumably straight Vietnam veteran
southern white good ol' boy,
athletically studying Japanese,
with a gentle passion for young Japanese women.

Did his all things Japanese culture love
precede his...

" Long be his journey to death! ", someone hollered
as he dragged his feet into the rising dust hotter than sand;
only a defeated and tormented soul would have admitted
looking ahead," Much innocent blood I have shed! "


Gazing sterner than a warrior or merciless king,
he was...

Storm On The World

The sky on parade the wind has spoken 
down below havoc, trees all 'abroken
Guabancex, exhaled and the blast 'acoming
below man and critters both 'arunning

Guatauva in a jealous rage responding
thundering roars and flashes 'alighting
Coatrisquie, not wanting to be humiliated
flooded the torn ground until...

In spite of a deep mental sorrow,
her desire for soothing music ~ once moving
a need to resolve, find closure, for her morrow
  ending ~ child morning her mothers passing

     Mesmerized by her gaze, thinking
  a moment in time, when...

I sat by the fire one dark, stormy night
reading a book which filled me with fright-
My dog was snoozing on the rug by the door,
the cat was meowing and pacing the floor-

The lightning it dazzled as the thunder did crack,
a sudden chill wind had crawled...

In utter exhaustion, the streetlamps bow their heads
As rats and bats below head to their beds.
The grill in the street exhales a plume, a sigh;
As the streetlights flicker and die,
One by one, in a row, with limp heads,
Soon to show - 
A reflection of sun,...

They climbed
resuming the mongrel form, 
The twelve.
A catcalling mob
burdened by sympathetic stimulants, 
Procured from the neck.
Yippering yowls 
break from a youth, 
Torn from thick, incongruous lips.
As a pack
they leap onto the quivering metal, 
Slender paws slapping on ice.
Ice all round; 
leering...over bearing... ungracious ice
To aid...

Armed with abundance, infinity dictates
Charmed by assurance of blossoming supply
Fruitful hands encircle orchard's offering
Boughs bestow nourishment ripe flesh provides

Harrowing hunt, road collides with horizon
Narrowing options ominously herald hardship
Frantic hands grab due to doomsday prediction
Equity halted by maneuvers of manic narcisists

Swarmed in hysteria, sugarladen bounty dissolves
Adorned...

Start

I’m sure you’ve heard his name before
From stories of knights in days of yore
Born in village La Mancha in Spain
Was enthralled of knights, he chose to feign

After resurrection, to America he came
In search of adventures and fame
As legend goes, every knight must have a lady-...

English sonnet

I ponder him who pledged to me his troth.
Our marriage came to shreds with pressure wrought.
He saved each tangled ravel, wove new cloth,
resuming our design with errors naught.

Haphazard doubts occurred which caused some snarls
of jealous hate which anger loves to knot.
Distrust released, his flag...
