Best Structured Poems

If Housman lived today and spoke of Terrance,
would rhyme and structure be his "stupid stuff?"
If he could wax poetic now,
what would it be that killed the cow?
Can image and the music be enough?

Were you to walk a wood some snowy eve,
a painting in your head...

In our inner world of the existential
a heightened awareness in close proximity
with distant dreams.Impulsive moods
once suppressed in the domain of the
denied, embodied now in spoken tracts

Creative credos and problems of form
curiosities with beautiful attributes.
Two things in one,pure noble and true.
In gilded contrast,yellow sounds xotic
influences of a modern heritage

The timeless flux of impressions,temporal
yet spacial & monumental,abstract yet
decorative,transparent,yet apparent,
hovering ,whirling rhythms foreshortened
becoming so private and personal

A glance of the eye,its gaze looking
but not seeing expressions on the
inside.Missing the sense of calm
surrounding the radiant soul,clear
and bright liberated from convention.

The paradox of metaphysical conceit
optimism from the divine,finite to
infinite,two sides of vanity as eathly time 
passes.Touch and taste the tender the
vulnerable time of careless youth,this 
product of the moment..
elusive yet larger than life.

They tell you to just be you,
But then you smile
And your teeth just won’t do.
They tell you to always be happy,
But then you lose someone,
And you’re too depressing.
They tell you it’s okay to be different,
But you’re a vibrant blue,
And you’re strange and insignificant.
They tell you...

AGE comes upon. us gradually,realisation
hits us all of a sudden.Hearing no longer
acute,coments and questions will need a
repeat for our world is no longer distinct.
One day we need assistance with what
others voice and say.Deficient,an aid. to
complement the grey.
AGE comes upon us so gradually realisation
hits us all...

To do great wonders and signs
among His kingdom people.To

the riches of Christ Jesus,as good 
stewards to...

LOVE’S MEMORY-A STRUCTURED PROSE
Two hearts as one,with love held dear,
each others secrets to confide,needs and
desire to never hide,love-lines to share,
tribulations together to bear.Each other
in submission lean,sacramental in unison
of love’s mutual bond.


INNOCENT NAIVETY-A STRUCTURED PROSE
Love has no boundaries in its heart,
in its passion holds all things...

Blurred distortions,smeared stirrings
put aside to make an extract in
filaments of primal abstractions.
Restless movements dripping,drop
by drop into pure fields of bliss...

Motionless,transfixed,..a long pause
melts away into expressionistic prose
uneasy I sit listening,yearning for insights
eavesdroping upon still life.

You make my life so easy
sucking up the dirt and fluff,
hair that makes me quite queasy 
and all sorts of unmentionable stuff.
You never get tired or wheezy
and help when things get rough.
Or when I feel rather uneasy,
you show you’re always tough enough.
