Best Ruffled Poems

I didn’t ask for help.
Yet someone heard
my inward crying voice
without a word.

“When the student is ready
a teacher will appear”
somehow it seems these teachers
pop up everywhere.

Their words were subtle
pointed darts
that caused me endless
fits, and starts.

There was no Hallelujah Chorus
no heraldry of trumpets din
just a presence in...

curved ruffled beauty

softness pale in morning's light

pink flushed with dew

ruffled parrots bloom

wind brushes soft fringed feathers

july clips their pink wings

wind crashes through me
trampling everything around—
I crumble. I lied.

Ebony inks the emptiness of space
highlighting the stars that adorn the Night.
And as Luna rises to take her place,
daylight and darkness morph into twilight;
as the moon and sun seemingly embrace.

Dusk dons a sequined ethereal shawl,
as distant stars twinkle in the darkness.
And the sound of a...

A warm breeze rustles through the leaves
as flowers bloom this summer day.
'round wind ruffled petals it weaves.
 
Windswept, the weeping willows sway,
and songbirds nest in branches high
as flowers bloom this summer day.
 
Drizzling showers rain from the sky
in little puddles on the ground,
and songbirds nest...

Inside a warm hold
Ruffled feathers 
Avoid the worst
Of any weather

Deep in the boughs
And out of sight
A sparrow passes
This stormy night...

birds of the same feather
   don't always flock together;
     while most prefer safety in numbers,
       a few just want to be hermits on towers;

RUFFLED FEATHERS

We tramp through tall grass
water up to our ass
to disturb wild, winged creatures
and to photograph their awesome features.

We use the greek and latin names
when speaking to our pals
We chase birds from one nest
to strange and poor locales.

We are boorish, giggling louts
disturbing babies with our...

Mother Goose would find her tail feathers ruffled 

Hey diddle diddle 
the cat and the fiddle
when off to see 
a crooked man and woman,
whilst cowards jumped 
over moo ving little
pair of mismatched muggles,
who both walked from scan
din navy yah, 
where dog goniff imps
jousted with brittle

I envy a cool and calm person,
Unruffled by all of life's stress,
Who takes things in stride and never will hide
From impediments to her success.

It's hard to be that type of being,
So centered and quiet and calm,
Who will watch things unfold and will never lose hold,
Owning...

Crimson coats 
Truth laces on the sleeves

Layered pinks
Weary wants within 

A chink in the sky 
Chapels clarify

Words that smelled green
Promises pristine

Doting on the dark dew 
 Musk settles anew

Unruled pages
Ruled roads
Caveats mistaken
Heart carrying the heaviest load.

The path forsaken 
The path forgiven

Some of us aren’t meant...

Ruffled woodpecker in her orange and pink dress
Hopping up and down, drilling on a cookie press.
Dancing to her own melody, a jackhammer’s song.
I see and I smile, glad I meandered along....
