Best Suspecting Poems

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness in
Opulent hues that color our lives as we age and
Journey through changing circumstances with 
Obstacles that crop up unforseen, and so
Unexpectedly that we are caught off guard
Relying on instinct to help us cope, 
Never suspecting that these changes are...

Every family has them
These unsettling times these misunderstandings
Times when many things come into play
In most cases these wee spats are soon over and forgotten
But sometimes differences run deeper
Because of other factors
Such as jealousy, middle child syndrome personality
It's only human nature at play
The necessity for all...

Honestly, I feel I am a grown-up child
I express my feelings intense or mild
As and when they take birth, never concealing
Not allowing them to settle, before revealing 

Even minor mishaps of mine or others upset me
However hard I try to pretend they don’t touch me
My...

Mother Nature’s Little Prince

A most beautiful little green frog swims quietly and so gracefully
While his eyes gaze gently on a mountain looming in the distance.
He’s at ease as he swims in a deep forest pond warmed by the sun.
Lost catching flies inside the shadows as...

Lost catching flies inside the shadows as an echo holds...

Rain's drizzling from forest canopies,
Evening sun peeking through leaves,
Flowers rising from decaying hues
Amid the woods tangled and untidy.

Shadows are dancing unknowingly 
Whispering evening wind songs,
To the music of a distant waterfall.

They witnessed my arrival 
With a cautious screech and roar,
A suspecting growl, and buzz.
It was...

Once when I was just a kid,
My sister eight years older,
My sister's boyfriend came to call,
While we were playing soldier.

Stationed in the jungle we,
Cut off from our troop,
Surrounded by the enemy,
We must escape, regroup.

To do this we must make a stand,
Take out that one lone...

Because of you, I learned to love
Because of you, I learned to trust
It was you who showed me how to feel
Took my dreams, made them real
You showed me what it means
To act without any fear
And seize the moment, trust your heart
To live in love and...

Sock it to me Baby

He strut like a proud peacock in his crocs 
Green they were, worn with lime shocking pink socks
He asked for a date
I said "no way mate"
"Only because I have no matching frocks."

He said he just didn't care what frock I wore
'Cause...

Into the woods the three did wander
Graceful teenage girls carefree
I had great cause to ponder
Surely someone held the key
When they were never seen again
Suspecting things grimly gone awry
What evils lurks what evil men
Might dare beneath God’s watchful eye

Sweet September, see how splendidly she shines!
Subtlety submitting seasonal splendour, she
swamps summer’s splendiferous sights,
by stealthily shrouding splendid scenery, 
with suffused sensuous, sybaritic, scenarios!
Sublimely serene, she spatters and splashes
slivers of saffron, sepia and sienna shades,
slapdash over the sedentary summer scene, sending
sightseers silly!  Soon, spooky spectres...

(from Simon & Garfunkle's "Bridge Over Troubled Water)

If is such a weak word, it branches, crackling under foot.
You know it, but you use it to sing me into sleep, never suspecting
need dangles down upon my head, tickling and wrapping
a comforting hand upon my qualms. If...

Slowly and silently she moves
Waiting for the right moment before she swoops
Her fangs built to shorten the lives of fools
Who in a moment their lives they lose

The glance from her will make you go pale
For few are alive to tell the tale
Just a swipe and...

Because of you I will engage 
In a futile, vain attempt,  
To put in words upon this page 
What loving you has meant. 

Through miles between unmeasured 
And the boundaries of time, 
You’ve been my greatest treasure 
In the back roads of my mind....
