Best Sequinned Poems

I want to mingle
with the people of Walmart 
as they regally push 
their shopping carts
Eclectically dressed perfection
each a work of art
Camouflaged chic
or an old guy 
dressed like a tart
Back and forth my eyes dart
Over there
a sequinned heart
and here 
a bedazzled jacket
that looks real smart

Some saunter,...

My soul 
    is in purgatory,
settling in fading tunes
  of suppressed silence,
swerving perpetually 
amongst
   smoky quartz silhouettes;
swiveling through 
the 
 dimmed dungeon 
to unraveling shadows
of yesterday’s destruction,
 moving in s l o w motion~
rejoicing invisible 
  rainbow glows

The other me you'd be quite surprised
She wears high heels, makes up her eyes
she parades around, singing lively songs
telling bawdy jokes where she belongs

Upon the stage, she's not alone
for in that bar, the stage, her home.
Dressed head to foot in sequinned gowns
the punters watch her...

Myths and legends have held the hearts spell bound for years
Mermaids, mythical animals, phoenix's have kept us enraptured in childhood
One of granny's tales was of an ocean high above the Himalayas
Hanging in mid air like a globe ruled by a magician king and his doting...

Clive’s wife is out of town for the evening
so he doesn’t have a second to lose
Feeling his excitement rising 
he nervously places his first order


The late night courier delivers a huge box 
Clive frantically rips off the packaging
to reveal ...
Six inch stiletto’s -
in flamingo pink...

Rid me of this damn corn,
the progeny of past laquered 
loves, its to, its fro, they lap 
like cats at milk, destroying all

Returning then to orange groves
and furnace fire/sing to me the 
song of could have been, sweet
orchard’s milk and valleys

The wiry sheen below the...

Unsure of the wisdom of getting married that day,
the young woman stood in the garden
of her groom-to-be.
Rarely entirely confident of any big decisions,
she trembled underneath
her beautiful white sequinned wedding gown.

She pondered and pondered,
but anything bad that entered her mind
had barely any weight 
compared with all...

tall trees with tongues of roots,sinew,
ply their way into the river's bank,
and deep the river, peace and sway,
links the day to to the green wet night

and in the dim mid-distance, where the
water fades , a palate of gingamon moss 
lays and folds the sequinned lights...

Venetian lacy, black masks with feathery eyes

Others gilded in gold leaf and sequinned gems

Come gliding in gondolas to disguise

Obsequiously they dip and bowing bend

St Mark's Square is the meeting place to parade

Stately in silken ball gowns and evening dress

Mask Contest and new acquaintances made

Greet three...

Farm in view with a field full of cows
Golden mist of grass on the ground
Afternoon light.Colors change +glow
Just for a few minutes then darkness
The night was silent.Courtiers enjoin
Banquet hall lit bright with candlelight
Soft glow shines through the  fretwork
Rich golden liquid  Midsummer revelry
Ruby ripe...

Bid On My Love

Give me unconditional love and I be your slave
             No harsh words till I reach my lonely grave

Give me my own breathing space to engrave my niche

By myself, at the end of the dock
My place to think and be alone
Night is young, I wait for the stars
The first one I see, I call my own

The lake itself is almost asleep
it's waters becoming a dark mirror
Tiny little flutters of dragonfly wings
is the...

World of colours twinkling like stars,
I really wonder, how mesmerising could be Bazaar.

When one is low, 
When one is free,
When one wants to have some fun,
Going to bazaar would be awesome.

Wow! See that shop.
Don’t you feel, we should stop!
Tinkling chimes,
Hanging in line.
I want to stop...

Two sparrows are mating in our backyard tree
Thought they were boy and girl, 'twas hard to see
One was dressed like a swan
T'other wore a sequinned gown
But these days it's hard to tell if it's a he or a she...

Please persist
With poetry,
Though you stand accused
Of wasting precious time
On the silly art of rhyme.

You have a task,
You poets.
Of re-presenting life,
The essence to attain
Thus making real again.

You live for others,
Via poetry.
Watching with all senses,
Hearing with emotions
And feeling through expressions.

You forge a link,
Through poems.
With lilting turn of...
