Best Soaked Poems

When velvet night is soaked in dew
along  bright rims of starlit thread,
prayers chime a tune in revue
away from hours of black and dread.

Along bright rims of starlit thread,
the fragrant winds blow chamomile,
away from hours of black and dread
to greet dawn’s flute with lambent feel.

rain soaked sunlight
dancing on a cobweb
crystal chandeliers...

Raindrops on the awning,
playing a dancer's melody...

Clouds across the sky,
running with the wind...

Grass bent with water,
quenching its thirst...

You at my side,
soaking it all in....

sun-soaked sunflowers flourish, fresh-faced and freckled
with seeds. On stilt-stems, their flourishing legs, and on
tippy-toes, like toddlers, do reach for the stove-hot sun.
Cherubs with innocent countenance, happy in their home.

Rain cascading down flooding land
water levels creeping up high
banks blocked with bags of sand

Creeping water flooding moorland
wiping out the fields of rye
rain cascading down flooding land

Homes by pumps are being manned
while folks stand helpless and sigh 
banks blocked with bags of sand

While rivers by bridges...

This Day, Greatest Losses, Blood Soaked Sands

Day to remember, honor for its gain
loss reminds us never, never again.
Neptune shook the sea, watched cannons fire
sandy beach blown apart, war's raging ire.
Courage, grit, sand, water, death and red-blood
ahead lay bloody roads and blood soaked mud.
D- Day, sacrifices...

I told you tonight the way I see you,
How you fill me with love and hate too.

Now I know you don’t mean to yell,
Nor is that what really stings.
I let go of a giant bombshell,
And I thought I would be free,
But that is not at...

puddles collect rain

stream with a white paper boat

boy with a wet grin...

As far as I can see
This wet was meant to be
like the dew on flowers

like the ocean for fish
like river for crawfish
I feel so good and free

I get so wet, so wet
from head to toe I know
I tremble and quivver

I linger and linger
under the fountain...

I Don’t Want Your Soaked Sponge On A Spear

You showed promise at your place of employment
So they presented you with a promotion
You are so proud to be in a position of power
Not to mention the paid vacation
And presidential parking spot
That was part of the package
You...

I went to my tub
Turned on the tap
Watched as my sadness
Filled it to the top
The worries of many days
In the water crystal clear displayed
Deep beneath the surface layed
Summoning to me
Please come in

I stripped down
To my essence
The discarded garments
In a pile on the floor
The yesterday man...

Although it seems as that a lifetime
Since passing aneath this bridge...
Beyound the night; these words entering
Into my mind twas twilight: having then for a couple of years
Started carrying these little notebooks everywhere we went
Pouring atop pages scribbling in colours while...

All this blood,
still remaining upon my hands;
   Has now completely penetrated,
  the thickness of my skin.
     Time Soaked,
         too deep...

Stain over Stain,
   forever still remain;
from where the blood...

I sit under my crape myrtle tree
in full bloom of white
feeling the cool breeze from the rain
a couple of miles away

I've no particular thoughts about being a miner of
so I'll let my thoughts wander
and watch the clouds rush by
heading Northwest to an unknown destination
while Bluejays...
