Best Symbols Poems

I'd have loved to see the bluebirds fly
above the white chalk-cliffs of Dover--
and as they were blithely soaring over,
immersed in thought I'd lie
in calm repose upon that beach,
admiring their swooping forms,
evanescent, in fleeting storms,
like ballet ... far beyond my reach.
Frisking, fragile, carefree birds,
symbolic through intrinsic...

Of Western Red Cedar, totems are made
Though few have been built in the last decade

Tribal emblems speak of lost lives with pride
Striking they appear as storm clouds collide

The Ojibwe graveyards can still be seen
As in reverence visitors convene

Symbols of Native American tribes
With colorful markings they...

With
caress
and cuddles-
the drama of
love
in glided
mosaic
of silver and
gold

I thought this might be an appropriate sequel to my poem and Christie's original inspiration....

The poinsettia shape reminds us of the Star of Bethlehem
Which led the wise men to a manger with gifts for Him,
And the brilliant red of the Christmas flower symbolizes
The shed blood of Jesus Christ which every Christian prizes
Reminding us that Jesus the Messiah’s birth, is...

The things I've been, the things I have been, the things I am, things I'm to be,
a symbol so dark, a sign so brite, a mark of the heart,
shadow of the soul,
rind of mind,
as the Buddhist meditates on mandalas of rich color,cycles,devas,dangers & devotions
I embrace...

A seven day event 
Based on African descent 
Culminating in giving gifts and a large feast
Based on African festivals ranging from the West to the Southeast. 
Within, you will discover the seven principles and seven symbols 
Kwanzaa also has several hymnals

The first day represents unity
Within...

Lunar observation  -  vehement eclipse
Insolvable notions suffocate ideas. Dead ends.
Naked  - onerous  - torrent
Dilute obviate
Silent torment inside lost lacuna
Energize vexation   -   every rationalization
Yourself -  odious   -  unquiet

End.

"The Symbols I Bare"

She floats like a Butterfly
Stings like a Bee
Her flow is undeniable
She's the midnight to any man's breeze

On the edges of her back
she wears the marks of the Tiger
Undeniably strong in her pursuit
She is not to be under estimated
It's the challenge she craves
Passionate
Intense
Is...

Shattering Symbols

Sometimes I feel shattered between symbols,
A musician crashes me side to side,
I plan quiet and peaceful meditation,
Then life takes me for an unscheduled ride.

The world comes down with its pressing problems,
The symbols clang and squeeze my aching head;
Musicians’ drums beating,  so demanding;
Oh, for...

A granny in a brightly lit flower frock is neither a spinning wheel or a basket of multi coloured wools. Multi coloured wools are very very useful indeed for wool wafts wonderful warmth. And warmth is great when cold so never mind the harness in...

I begin the day buying yogurt in a small
favorite grocery store. The clerk
a man of few pretenses was making jokes
about his wife, how they fight in bed.
Discovering the better stores in the community.
In a given day, isolated from friends,
I speak to few people. An old...

All poems are unfinished
Only those in sonnet are finished
Completed, done, and terminated
A poem can still be edited
Revised, retouched and rewritten
A poem is a powerful tool or weapon
Leave alone my unfinished poems
These are my spices, my stars, my emblems
You don't understand their symbols
And the words used...

TEN UP

10^0  

Ten to the zero is really just one,
positive power, its a whole, not a part.
We don’t move from the decimal,
it’s just where we start.

10^3

Ten cubed, or a kilo,
when dealing in drugs.
It’s a measure in metrics,
it’s the math of the thugs.

10^6

Ten to the...

oracles as purveyors of all destiny
what was holding hints of that which shall be
the reading of cards with colorful themes
journey of select stars not what it seems

direct result of some predestined scheme
all caught up in some dice thrower's dream
digging through entrails of what's always been
for...
