Best Sliver Poems

I was an experienced astrologer, for wandering stars held much fascination,
Luring in opal darkness of mystery, like beautiful butterfly transformations.

My days were spent charting pretty planets, alongside of faint, pearly stars,
Interpreting their effects on humans, and on this turquoise world, and Mars.

I studied deep midnight...

There was a hurting fellow named Dick
He had a rather pointy small prick
He rubbed it all day 
without much delay
pulling it out it looked like a stick


For Jan's limerick contest. Now I will go read the directions....

A sliver of river appears in my view;
The window has served up the slice.
Of course, thought I’d love the whole vista, to me
A sliver is almost as nice.

It gives me a glance of the watery ways
That surround us as we stroll the city.
Our island existence...

Sliver the Soul 





Had it been easy to construe meaning of life,
Logical mind would stop digging and being keen,
No fear of death could put an end to all strife,
As we unveil treasures of nature umpteen,
Sliver half the soul that doesn't believe in unseen.

Green, blue, brown, and gold. 
Soft, harsh, warm, and cold. 
Truly a beautiful window to the soul,
Making visible a part, if not the whole. 

Happy, sad, joyous, gloom. 
Sometimes empty; a vacant room. 
Shrouded with shadows or crystal clear. 
Keeping one distant or drawing one...

From the darkest depths of life’s darkest season
The man could find neither rhyme nor any reason
He read the scrolls, the names they just passed him by
But a sliver of gold did then catch in his eye.

He sent out words, to find this name he really...

In the sky the moon is but a sliver.
Amidst pondering thoughts I begin to shiver.
Something's there stirring from deep within.
Mingling around the contents of this lonely den.
A shadow is casting there upon the wall.
Peering over the edge to watch the waterfall.
Visions of roaring tides over...

Gently falling from
The midnight sky

A sliver of silver
Dropped into
My palm,

It began to slowly melt
Into a little silver pool

Caressing
Each fold,
Each crease,

Quiescent in quietude,
Coalescing
With the warmth
Of my hand;

There it rested.

A smile
Lit up my face
In gratitude
For this small
Gift of the Moon....

A sliver of hope
For this Christmas wish I have
I’ve slashed way down low
Hurt my knees below
Beyond all heartfelt caring
May she dream of me

Your whisper
of "Goodnight, Sweetheart," as I slowly surrender 
to twilight slumber---sliver of heaven!

The sound of your "Good Morning," 
at the break of dawn as Morpheus releases 
his hold on me---sliver of heaven!

You, leaping into my arms
and wrapping your legs around my waist.
Your way of welcoming...

Driving home from work
on a hot, August night
the sliver of moon in the sky
never looked so bright.

It looked close enough to touch
hanging so low in the sky,
making me wish I had my camera
to capture its radiance by.

This was the perfect ending
to a long work night,
this...

When we retire to our charming boudoire
Cathie just likes to read
While I on the other hand prefer to sleep
And dream of my kindly deeds

So I don my mask to block out the light
And I'm off to my fantasy land
Helping poor souls in dire straits
Those seniors...

Oh, Wintertime with weathered hue
   of leafless trees and faded lawns;
      the sting of cold with biting winds,
much shorter days and dreary dawns-

Oh, Winter, with your weathered hue-
      I share my winter blues...

In cut throat fashion the sadist kindly applies the garrotte

The guitar is a bit out of tune and needed some tension

Two love birds in soft tune and no further strings attached


Lights nearly out and the old record player blasts Ode to Joy

But some times these...
