Best Tangent Poems
TangentBlack crow surveys
Two sparrows chat;
Food for thought
~~~~~~~~~
Air-con leaking
Messy affair;
Slippery pathway
~~~~~~~~~
Two toddlers laugh
Playground adventure;
Proud parents chit-chat
~~~~~~~~~
April showers
Thundering rain drops;
Wetness blooms
~~~~~~~~~
Moments freeze
Swirling slowly;
Rainy day moods
~~~~~~~~~
By my work desk
Piles of paper books;
Hoarding feels good
~~~~~~~~~
Telephone call
Old friend chuckles;
Brief encounter
~~~~~~~~~
Chocolate ganache cake
Home made delicacy;
Out of this world
~~~~~~~~~
Time and time again
Same...

TangentTwo lines, looking for answers
Who dared to cross different planes
They gambled with numbers and letters
Searching for x in sun and rain
From east to west, they tried to find
They also tried from north to south
The value of x...

TangentFeel feisty flame
Opt odd ordain
Ripe rapture reigns
Observe odd one
Unzip undone
Rich rivers run
Prize pretty pace
Run remote race
Etch earns embrace
Charm creams clear case
Opt old out-place
Choice claims cute craze
Impulse ink-stains
Ooze opts obtain
Urge unrestraint
Sense swift sounds speak
Mind meetings meek
Intense ink-tweaks
Chase crazy crop
Hurl happy hop
Appease apt-opt
Ear earns enthrone
Live lovely loan
Zesty...

Tangent 2Fruit smoothies
Peculiar notions;
Forget-me-not
~~~~~~~~~
Mimosa carpet
On the grass verge;
Violet orbs greet
~~~~~~~~~
Floral bouquet
A lover's gift;
Joy escalates
~~~~~~~~~
Odes and sonnets
Words in-sync;
What's the occasion?
~~~~~~~~~
Date with fate
Don't be late;
A full plate
~~~~~~~~~
April intervenes
Abrupt endings;
Motley stuff
~~~~~~~~~
Old lovers here
Vintage furniture;
Clumsy clutter
~~~~~~~~~
Those sad eyes
Staring at me;
Lost for words
~~~~~~~~~
Old sepia prints
Time mellows stains;
Ancient memories
~~~~~~~~~
Nightfall cicadas
Creepy cacophony;
Frogs croaking
~~~~~~~~~
Sums...

Tangent LivesWe are indeed two parallel lines
That run in eternal agreement
Continuously our course defines
A harmonious stand for our sentiments.
This united length of partnership
Runs side by side in platonic direction
Perpetual lines of enviable friendship
Will never be found in an intersection.
Fate may be kind, our lives may cross
Destinies...

TangentPoise aligns voice
Choice between noise
Light in clear sight
Flight beyond plight
Stare at bold dare
Flair funnels fare
Live as you give
Grief utters brief
Thrill in fine will
Feel surreal fill
Joy knows sound ploys
Toy with stuff coy
Speak of grand peaks
Seek to be meek
Date your sure fate
State wonder's gate
Room where love...

Dramatic Monologue
Musical TangentJust a whirlwind of thoughts has taken me off on a tangent
Where am I running too
Only my deviant mind has allowed me to proceed
To an unchartered place leaving me unsettled
It is a fear within
Puzzling music follows like footsteps behind
Is this hell-bent or what twisting...

Tangent of Intangibilitywell-spoken well-meaning
attempts at getting to the
heart of the matter getting
down to the root of the problem
never worked out to my benefit
always went a stray off onto another
tangent of intangibility...

TangentSo many cracks
Falling now stacks
So much violence
Tangent tensions
So little space
For joy's embrace
So hurts now farm
In violent harm
So what to do?
To discount hues
So much sorrow
For tomorrow
So spread the pain
With terror's strain?
So out of poise
With still small voice

Tangent Fears--Just what is at stake
I'm at the strange plain in my life
I'm touching those fears within my doubts
just what is at stake
curved surface at a point and yet my Lord keeps me from it just what is at stake
I am...
