Best Tither Poems

Deep is the water of the lagoon
filled with many kinds of things
the more you look the more you see
reflected clouds floating in the water

A host of wondrous plants on the banks
little fish darting hither and tither
tall reeds are casting mottled shadows
deep down a big catfish...

When does Chloris Arrive
The marigolds were a twitter
The tea roses were entranced
The faerie princess doing cartwheels
The lambs ears were brushing sweetly against each other
The brownies rapidly helping the ladybugs get onto their mushrooms

Chloris was to arrive in the afternoon 
The sun was ready, waving hello.
The...

As I walk around my garden, I note
that my daphnia is in full flower
it is always my first bush to show
and fill my garden with tantalising scent.

My Yucca always gives me colour
in the bleak month of December
standing there so stately
each year another head appears.

The trellis...

Who knows what the future holds?
Fate laughs loudly in our faces.
Scientists say our sun will die
becoming firstly a red star.

Its final stage they predict
will be a black hole.
Do the moon, stars and planets  
affect our destiny in life?

Or is it our own choices
that set...

A speck drifts in the wind blown hither and tither,
Briefly settling then takes to the air once more.
Now a charged particle thanks to the storm,
It flitters around like a beautiful butterfly.

Travelling the world at the whim of winds
visiting Australia, Asia and Africa on its way.
The...

I have mirrored the whole of my life 
On this mercurial surface
I have painted myself on this glossy canvas
My pen has bled words in red
You can look straight into me 
As you see my reflection on a mirror
I have sketched me as I am 
Honest...

My wife woke me up last night and said that she had been bitten all over by something,
She said she was certain it had not been me...
Alarmed! I rolled off the bed and landed on my knee.
Our baby was sleeping soundly and he did give...

Headlouse dance as agile ballerinas across a small childs skull
And believe the truth as im only good at that
I havent seen one for a while

Its hard to confess 
That i actually miss
Foriging the tresses of my little sprigs
Salivating
Eyes dancing
Hither and tither 
To and fro
As if...

Demons of old to toil and tither,
Moil of mine to wine and hemal,
Of thee comes brood and beast,
Whence a nite of tongues and chattering teeth.

Forth slips shimmers of golden rims and grims which greet,
Sips from glorious goblets enchant fabolous feast,
Jests, knaves, et alii figures beguile...

Joy Unspeakable

Culminate since birth, sprung opened trials,
hither, somewhat tither, consequence waits,
opportune knock as an opened door smiles,
means of one's worth misery, rapture rates.

Character, their drawn portion brings about,
steadfastness accrued, witnessed by others,
contentment approves summation per clout,
worries cringe test, gladness is my druthers.

Cheerfulness wholehearted, sure of...

To live is to take a chance
each day we have many choices
is our life preordained?
the paths already written?

Or are we just balsam
blown hither and tither
when you stop and think
how much free choice is there?

Our discipline starts early
from the day we first attend
kindergarten or school lessons
after...

Time flies, yes,
Two decades already
And it seems just like yesterday, 
When a fragile virgin girl-child
Was wrapped unto the overjoyed 
Waiting hands of her parents!

Two decades and counting,
I want to fly with it, 
A bird with two right wings,
Free to twitter in the open air
Air is...

Hey Valentine, where are you?

Are you hiding amid the peaks of a mountain
or in the depths of an ocean?
Are you in the sweltering heat of summer
Or in the torrential flood of the monsoon?
You are lost between winter’s chill
and the verdure of spring. 

You make me...
