Best Violette Poems

It's spring. Cares we're flinging,
and the birds are winging;
their birdlings are singing
growing fatter!

Love doves now are cooing.
So what could be brewing?
Romance is ensuing.
That's the matter!

All the world is playing.
Some for rain are praying.
Rainfall answers, saying
Pitter-patter.

With my worries fleeing,
it is all so freeing.
Crazy I'll be being...

Arousing affective 
Wistful retrospective
Amorous perspective
Sweet regression 

Mystic enigmatic 
Spellbound charismatic
E'er melodramatic
Sweet discretion

Sacred sanctuary
Lovers legendary
Raw imaginary 
Sweet impression

Wandering allseeing
Spirits freely fleeing 
Roaming unbound being 
Sweet obsession

Candied fine confection 
Dulcet recollection
Stirring retrospection
Sweet digression

hear the happy skittle 
knows he isn't brittle
laughs at flying spittal 
from the vicars

see the sullen dancer
living fearing cancer
seldom wants an answer
always bickers

smell the Christmas fairy
legs and arms so hairy
makes me rather wary
nostril pickers

man who's always smiling
messing up the tiling
says he's done the filing
wearing knickers

Music of life, she alone, chooses.
Though a host others, think, she loses?


She tourjettes high, above life’s discords,
Leaps to Ravel’s melodious chords.


Loss and pain are her greatest gain.
Gratitude, raises her high above pain.


“Pavane for a Dead Princess”,how it moves her.
Adorned, in purple, in front of her...

Plucky, we see the pond
With dervish eyes we bond
Dive in the great beyond
And ooh la la

He thinks she’s quite a dish
Handsome’s her one true wish
Into the sheets they swish
With great oompah

Like thrashing out of sea
Steamy fish feel so free
As who they’re meant to be
Waves wild...

Self Discovery
A
Violette Poem

sometimes I remember
our time in September
that became an ember
Faint memories

it's unforgettable
not understandable
We aren't valuable
gone centuries

I gave you everything
my love was bellyaching
you don't give anything
wasted journeys

your love slipped from my hands
please stop violent chants
your downgrading commands
angry flurries

from sunny to aching
I am slowly breaking
stop your...

Spring begins to grumble
 That winter won't crumble
 Seasons seem in jumble
 Snow still falling

 The breeze will soon escort
 And spring it will exhort
 As blooms she will assort
 No more bawling

 Then lilacs will assent
 As  fragrance they  present
 And nature...

Violette Poem-Nature’s Design

Some folks like cold weather.
Want the warm air, never.
Could have snow forever.
Wintertime kind.

A snowstorm is outside,
covering countrywide.
Go have a fun sleigh ride.
Oh no, Springtime!

It’s called a Noreaster.
So, don’t get spring fever,
nor outdoor plans either.
Nature’s design

Dressed white are trees displayed,
as winds fuss in tirade
howling...

Violette Poem

Violets Renowned

Wild violets renowned
Prayers with grace astound
One flower would spellbound
Hundreds granted

Yard covered with flowers
Showing God's great powers
God's love gives them hours
Gift not planted

Violets in beauty
Whisper of God's duty
To teach His tutee
A song chanted

Will we learn in session
That is my one question
Would our soul freshen...

*****
restless sleep... the nightmares..
i shut my eyes some-wheres.
to find myself upstairs...
gasping... gagging...

in a darkroom hidden...
i felt as if chidden...
was I in a midden...
my guilt... bragging...

thinking I was dying...
face wet... i'd been crying...
my eye's felt blank...prying...
voices slagging...

she won't catch us again...
she's no room to complain...
how many...

He met her in Dallas
In the Silver Palace
Said her name was Alice -
He was nineteen

She said,"Let's join forces!"
He said,"I ride horses -
We've seperate courses,
You are pristine!"

But she had known lovers
And seen 'neath the covers
Of more than most others -
Places unseen

He said,"I herd cattle
My brain's 'bout...

We’re truth and light combined, 
where the stars are aligned, 
all things of love entwined-
hope is endured.

Existence has survived, 
faith finally revived, 
no scheme can be contrived- 
with dreams insured. 

Pain dreads all the cheerful,
when life seems so tearful, 
let’s help all the fearful- 
needs...

We welcome days of spring,
fledglings are on the wing;
I hear them sweetly sing
in skies of blue

Our farmer’s up at dawn
spring lambs are being born,
they’ll play from dusk till dawn
as babies do.

I’ve grown pretty flowers,
which brighten dark bowers.
I work out doors for hours,
do you do too?

Spring...

WILDLIFE SUFFERS
~~~~~~~~~~~~

clearing woodland! really?
makes me feel so teary.
right now my eyes, bleary,
wildlife suffers

once, all mankind, hunters,
nothing left, no grunters!
human beings, shunters! 
bald land coiffures

for sustenance, gathered
no land back then, shattered
now the land is battered
us all duffers

much wildlife now extinct
i can't be more succinct
nature won't be...
