Best Sprinklings Poems

I am my reality
I am my first true love
I am the best part of my life
I am my today, my tomorrow
I am my lonesome bliss
I am the representation of strength
Through the tough stare in my sons eyes
I am the symbol of endurance
From a child’s tear...

one two three
my all time favorite
fancy and bright
pretty to look at

delish on my tongue
sprinklings of sugar
squishy between my teeth
yummy on my lips

spearmint delights
refreshing jujubes
perfect molded leaves
three two one

~ sweet nostalgia

Stardust smiling and bright beguiling
Rainclouds rebelling and sprinklings surprising
Misty mountains and full fountains
Darkening dreams and sentimental streams
Moonlight mourns and wanly warns
Faded feelings and dreadful dealings
November nights waltz into Winter

in temperate climes of valleys yonder
gazillion lavish blooms and eager buds
burst into spectacular rainbow hues
granting a new lease of life
to dreary seasons gone and past

sunny skies usurp possession
of a crystal heaven’s sweet complexion
sprinklings of glitter dust of gold 
adorn untrimmed vines in every shade
bestowing their...

Holiday confections of delicious joys mouthwatering flavorings,
Savor the tasty classic Christmas cookies, snicker your drooling
Taste buds of satisfactions indulgence by sugary tarts of rounded
Pleasure, iced with frosting's dappling s of sprinklings coloring!
Gingersnaps men drown in the ice cold milk ponds of thoughts
Consumption, as candy canes...

Poetic Encryption Like Ancient Egyptian

This terror and threat to poetic clarity,
Becomes a pet rock for some poets.

Words do count for sure, but so does
Clarity unless poets put a mask on.

Encryption can be used to mask 
Certain vatic pretensions that poets
Harbor, at times, when waxing eloquently
About...

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you 
of wisdom all your own in soft sprinklings of light!
Endless, comes a golden crest of sunrise within you, 
a gift sprawled before you wrapped in new day,
crafted to inspire graceful strokes in floating skies, 
erased of...

Oasis at noon

What a wonderous quiet place it is
the heart of a palm oasis
skirted trees stand guard about
keeping dusty heat without
holding shaded cool within

a small breeze sneaks past a frond
dancing in ripples across the pond
am I intruder, am I part
I wander and wonder in my...

Dust
Grey sprinklings
On those rusted golden gears

*Clink*
*Clink clank*
Symphony of the ageless cogs

Cold
Remorseless
Rise and revolve

Resonating
It resounds
The unrelenting *Tick*

Repeat
Over again
Replay, reiterate

Falling
Unable to escape
Indefinitely down

Imminent
Ever-forward
Some day I'll hit the ground

Onward
It will turn
And I can't keep up

Sprinting
And pursuing
But I can't keep going

RESIST
YOU CANNOT
RELINQUISH CONTROL

All-mighty
All-consuming
Mediator of being

Drowning
Encircled and engulfed
Enfolded by, the...

Rain

Music is like rain: each note
Washes away a care, a worry;
As raindrops wash dust
From a leaf.

Symphonies are storms: a deluge of
Notes engulfs a broken spirit, a
Sweeping flood, washing clean
A new life.

Soft showers are summer sonatas:
Sprinklings of comfort for tired souls,
Warm touches, soothing percussion
For pained minds.

Rain...

ODE TO THE MYRRH TREE


So the tree stood in the centre of the desert
Mangled by winds of change and truth of joy
and chains of dust and torrents of rare rain 


Burnt black and senseless by an 
unrelenting Sun of nightmare beauty
And orange was the sand...

A fat flat packed duck billed platypus was not on a platter. In fact it had escaped under a robe. With a robin. The robin was to be stuffed into a pigeon which was stuffed into pheasant then chicken then turkey then goose then flamingo....

Rich dark blanket of night,
Silken wrapper, inducer of sleep,
You sooth the glare of harsh daylight strivings.
Half of the world sinks into rest.

Beyond the soft, tenebrous cloak: infinite brightness.
Into the dense fabric a droll designer deftly fashions
Small snips, eyelets, delicate cuttings, 
Wheeling patterns – the geometry...

This night, my sweetheart, is ours to savour
Take a luscious bite of eternity
Leave the world behind in a distant blur
Starry sprinklings endowed felicity
A luscious moon above our balcony
Whispering promises of ecstasy

Rules of seduction by which we abide
Lawless magnetism by own admission
To a temptress breeze our...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Securely bound within these the shackles of darkness!?

Submerged aneath their versions mirky waters 

Swirling inside merely moments, left afore drowning....

Consciousness slipping away as thoughts of life

Drift through his mind this, colophons final touch

Highlighting every link and lock; preludes amid the depths

Houdini....

Frantically trying to eclipse their...
