Best Sweeting Poems

Verdant green unfolds.
     Buds that star my eyes.
         Wings around me sing.
            I crave Spring’s tweeting.

Perennial wonders of full chromatic light 
a gush of crimson red a splash of shade   
I'm fortunate enough to catch her flight    
as tendrils fall before the bramble fade  

she dances me around  oh!  such a bless...

The ripples in the blue waters
shines upon the sea,
in a fantastic world that only belongs to me.
My beautiful trees
screaming their green
out to the world
where my good men have been.
My stars sparkle 
in my new moon's twilight
breaking my dawn,
did my eclipse tight.
No violence no rath,
this is...

Isn't this what the Bible predicted? A false God and chaos

and plagues and bad weather and detriment caused to our 

climate by global warming and pollution. We aren't supposed 

to be messing around with mother nature. Hasn't Trump

figured out that his mother was a woman....

Hear O, dearest mine, I call upon thee
Leave not me, may the fate’s fore be undone 
Love will unite, ‘tis of us to redone
How shalt this trial pass, if we flee than dree?

When sun dances above divine rainbow
Soothing nightingale, thy matchless beauty
Springs forth golden delight,...

I see you face in all direction, I can't stop thinking about your beautiful eyes
As if it was just last night that we met, the sparkle in your eyes swept me off my feet
I stood in amazement to such beauty, your full lips had me...

Fists smash into the glass
Anger flys out of control
Tears of blood,
Death to those they loved.

The innocence stolen
Held against their will,
Watching the horror
Laughing all the way.

Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!

Those screams heard for miles
Repeated by many,
Eyes glued shut.

Hand to the face.
Slapped in disgrace,
Failure to protect
No where to...

Whisper not upon mine ear,
another lovers name.
Keep my dear heart ignorant,
my name away from shame.

Tip toe silently to go
rendezvous on cat feet.
Wake me not with stumbling gait,
that I might wake and peek.

Let not the door slam tight shut.
Let not your boots be loud.
Wash her perfume...

Gaia was never this happy before today
Okay, maybe a couple of hundred times.
In the spring everything is hip hip hooray!
The violets are whispering in tiny rhymes.

She is sounding the conch, calling for all to gather around.
The buds are popping open, and the birds are tweeting.
She...

Ladylove

Amorous
Tenderly affection
Mine swollen heart beats breaths love pops
Heart's desire, sweeting

t'was winter and the lively knights
did wither and quibble long the bow
because they had had frothy troughs
and they were  horses as you know
 
a once and sweeting beast did ponder
the waith admiring the frosty snow
There was a breath thick on her shoulder 
assailing her...

Despair sought a captive audience;
Hope showed up instead with faith—
Handing out flyers with grab bags
Of treats of sweeting courage:-
Remembrance was the opening act:
Its recall was loaded with, “That’s A Fact!”

The waterfall of the blood of memory fell:
We’ve survived 400+ years of slavery;
We’ve survived the hanging...

French poems by Charles d’Orleans in modern English translations by Michael R. Burch



Traitorous Eye
by Charles d’Orleans
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

Traitorous eye, what’s new?
What lewd pranks do you have in view?
Without civil warning, you spy,
And no one ever knows why!

Who understands anything you do?
You’re rash...
