Best Sidles Poems

==================================
The widow, dressed in glossy black,	
glides from the shadows at the back.	
A veil lies slack across her face	
to mask the grief her features lack.	

Possessed of an insectile grace,	
she sidles to the open case	
and like the reptile smile she bares,	
this too, serves to defile the place.

Her face may show a rosy blush
Peering through a favorite bush.
Perhaps you'll greet with great delight
This newcomer dressed in purest white 
Miss Morning Glory, sweet and lush.

Well known as bind-weed, Nature's thug.
She sidles up with gentle hug
Then follows with a deadly squeeze
And takes her neigbor's...

Sad Sammy starfish, all alone on the beach
Wishes to find  a soulmate, but no one is in reach

He looks around, raises his hands into the air
Is there a lonely starfish somewhere out there

Suddenly Sammy espies upon a rock 
A stunning pink starfish wearing a...

A desert flower shrouded in black,
she exudes the sweetness of a rose.
And sidles away from my approach,
her emotions hidden by a veil.

Dazzling eyes of cerulean hue
stare out at me from subtle shadows. 
For it's her tradition and custom
that no man's gaze may fall upon her.

Her...

Creation

women of age
sit in the sun and dream.  
they knit up our world 
on five flashing needles 
click, click, click

a woman of age sits across the aisle,
she dreams in the sun
as it slants through the pane.
her pale hands move regardless of her thoughts.

   The snake sidles up to Eve
     from God she soon seeks reprieve

   With us yet, it slithers into Halls of Power
     injects venom ~ brave leaders cower

Squinting into time
I grasp a distant folly
Slow dancing alone


It stares back at me
Shimmering in icy lust
This trembling pencil


It sidles closer
A touch of maple abides
Pancakes come to mind


The gauntlet is thrown
A motionless hawk falters
Its feathers ruffled


Adrift in the trees
The echo of lost moments
A dove high cooing...

His own voice
talks over his head,
as if he were not there.

The load car radio
plays distant music.
Without thinking,
he changes channels,
hears only
the drumming road.

His eyes are low lit,
they see only feet
beyond his gripped hands.

Sunlight glares past thoughts,
he swivels right, sidles left,
soft shouldering unseen corners.
He is listening to...

A seething summer morning in the oil boom trailer park
Oral Roberts on the radio with the gospel told by Mark
The reek of raw petroleum is everywhere around
We little oil trash urchins play marbles on the ground

He drives out here most every day around the hour...

A few also rented words by David Archuletta:
"A Writing style technique that hides with an evasiveness, while still long steeped in confusion." 

The above Copyrighted and Trademarked sentence shouts of compound meaning. Both of which, represent two distinct thought processes commonly associated with New Jersey...

He sidles up next to you,
so stealthily
It’s like he appeared out of thin air
Then breathlessly,
he gives you a Jimmy Stewart howdy do,
and starts air guitaring in his chair
Just when you were on the verge of
hitting the right vibe 
with a cute little honey thing
This joker...

Old Mr. Nicholson
totters across the town square
to the barbershop where
Clive has cut his hair
for the last forty years or so

Not hardly needing
even a trim
but pretending
he has a reason besides
the gossip waiting within

Inside, the shop smells like hair tonic
shaving cream and old leather
and the only noticeable...

Her hair's so black, the blue is breaking through.  
Centre-parted with furrow crown to fore, 
Perfectly placed and kept in position 
As pretty red ribbons bind the bunches.

Her face is crazed and tanned to leather.  
Too many benders on Benidorm beach. 
Her mouth...
