Best Sieves Poems


Rhythmic Perfection (Anapestic Trimeter)
There's a river that twists in the mind
that I plunder and ravish with sieves,
on crusades to the summit of rhyme
where my Phoenix of tropes and schemes live.

In a war to free diction's fair Queen
where the Soldiers of Babel bemuse
and the modern day graceless regimes
are in...

In Whispering Mists, Dying Gods There Grieve

Within Shadows casting forth in blackened glow,
secret havens hide in heaps of aged dust,
there beastly beasts born and wickedly grow
far beneath a granite hardened evil crust.

Within corridors in ancient temples Time waits
for the golden winds of Loves renewed trust
sealed...

State of Fate
Through the faded door of never mind.
Couldn't find the button to rewind.
A lost cause that was left behind.
Two stars that just never aligned.

The what if's stayed where no one looked.
One little taste and then you're hooked.
The pot was boiling but nothing cooked.
Turn off the burner,...

Premium Member On Not Being You-- Dueling Senryus
Keep quiet, be nice.
            Do not love, be cold as ice.
            Alas, spineless mice!

~Bells of Saint Mary's~

Oh, the joy of being young!
When those phenomenal bells
so joyfully rung!
And I, in patent leather Mary
Janes,
Ate Tootsie Rolls as if in a now
forgotten dream.
Staring at the mosaic, stunning
tall window panes.

How we loved playing games so
divinely innocent!
But now, by His Majesty, 
"Political Correctness",
To the...

The Gift Of Muse And The Grace To Inspire

If I have to poetry see and define 
My words would shrink and stop to ink
My thoughts would be unable to align 
And in confusion I would rather sink..

Visions in words would learn how to speak 
Words marvellously moulded by a wordsmith 
Far reaching charm...

It Is What It Is
11/28/16


Thrive survive and live

It is what it is
A day of nothing or success using sieves
Carbonation in the soda pop making it fizz
Distinguished areas for hers and his
Individuals involved or infatuated with the showbiz
Don't get in a tizz


Some just take and or give

The planet spins
Life with...

The Brightest Star
THE BRIGHTEST STAR

To view the brightest violent star, 
that glints and glitters from it's scar.  
It's life is burning, blurred and far, 
we cannot know, just where they are. 

The brightest star takes breath and lives, 
in sparks and flares, it dusts through sieves....

Footprints On Sand
Time passing along, memories of days grand
However hard I try to grip, it sieves through my hand
Through crevices between my fingers that once formed a fist
What exists today is bitter sadness; my life's gist

Once upon a time I was blessed, with tears more of joy...

This Twinning Set
this twinning set,
of urchin's smile reflected,
by stale fathers turned to murk,
knapping flint saturated by eons,
gripped saltwise in bitter steel neglected,
     high voices cry "banal!" and flow red tears,
     weeping while maxims roar,
     at...

Science and Religion 

Some ask, “Why do you waste your time on religious matters?
When it’s obvious, science is the answer.”
After countless hours, I realize the theories
Are like sieves and will not hold water.
I do not blame the scientists, who attempt to explain
The universe logically or...

Nice Try, Gundagai
A bloke who hails 
from New South Wales 
will know of Gundagai. 
Some guy found gold, 
or so we're told, 
in days now long gone by. 

I grew up there 
without a care 
when both of us were nippers: 
she was my mate -

Night Time
It's three sticks come at One:Eleven.
The Whet Owls' sight a-glare.
The forest black to touch the sky
where moonlight's blue to pair.

With crisp cool air between the trees.
Smells floating on their leaves.
The Pine scent rolling over dew
where dampness for all sieves.

The wild grass bending in the wind.
This...
