Best Visitation Poems
The Moon VisitationBackdoor wide open
A cream moon is coming in
Softly, like a dream.
Beyond red sun, pearly rays
in a lazy, lilac night.
Howling wind whimsy
'midst the fantasy flowers
in plum, pink and green.
Silver moon, always welcome
lending silk beauty to night....

Visitation Time
Faint barks, evening, wind, and rain
I'm standing outside these gates again
staring at her long twisted cobbled grey
She'll be pleading and crying for me to stay
Teary-eyed,.. as I start to shake
You see, it's my witching mother
Changing eyes, I remember
Each day a day in mid-November
The whiskey...

VisitationLast night, while you were asleep
resting your tired and sick body
I visited you in my thoughts
and danced with you....

The Night Visitation of Jesus ChristLast night Jesus Christ spoke to me.
Last night Jesus Christ appeared to me.
It was the eve of Palm Sunday and I was in bed and could not sleep.
I looked up at my ceiling and I saw Jesus Christ with his arms stretched out.
Kneeling was Mother...

Bee VisitationOne Sunday in church came a bee.
Up my pants leg he sat on my knee.
I jumped from piano,
Tore pants from my torso.
Did striptease, where no one could see!...

"Over there is planet Earth,
I wonder what it's really worth."

The VisitationGarden sentinel, carrion he’s stripping
Woolf tail wagging white fangs ripping
Stream-of-consciousness telling, spewing
Dog’s breakfast masticating, chewing
Mourning doves cooing, woo-OO-ing
Backyard cricket legs rubbing, chirping
Hot summer night simmering, squalling
Beginnings long day ending, waning
Winged silhouette floating, rising
Sleepy canine lies dreaming, chasing
The stranger rises--ascending, falling
Moonlight beaming, shadow stalking
Temptress...

VisitationDreamed about my mother
Who comes to me when I am in pain
Not to my reckoning through woo woo land
Otherworldly celestial plain
Implanted she was the first time
I was held warmly to her breast
As the antidote to what ails me
She comes when I am under test
In this...

A Lucid Dream As a VisitationI used to have a lovely mini-dog
who followed me wherever I would go.
Nobody in my family cared for him,
for only I he loved – that Eskimo!
Into my arms he’d leap when I got home
from having worked. He’d wait beside the door
and know instinctively that I’d...

VisitationShe rests in sweet repose,
as mourners pass--
some she never even knows.
Her casket is a deep, dark green,
its lining a silken shade,
a softer sheen,
a perfect counterpoint
to her chestnut tresses.
Pale hands rest upon her breast,
framing the emerald of her dress.
She would be truly upset
to see you gazing...

VisitationAfter work,
drinking in a matchbox bar in Shimbashi,
waiting for a sign...
The noren twitches.
A hand appears between the flaps.
An eye assesses the interior,
and is gone....

October VisitationOctober Visitation
A peeking orange smear
Talked to the lad inside his head,
When he was eight and nine months,
On a breezy October twilight in 1960,
As the orange light told him silently,
To go to the river's edge behind the red house,
To go there and see what it wanted...

The Visitation DayThe omens were vague
The portends silent
Urimm and thummim
Silent as still waters
The seers all fatigued
The lovers embracing
The jilted bride crying
The watchers unseeing
The abode of fun alive
Kings rumbling..
Their daily incorrigible..
Stuff.. in rolled the guest
The city awash with royalty
Chariots took to the tarmac
Then the royal flag flew
Twas...

appeared as I slept.
Waking, I saw him on my bed!
Into my arms he leapt! With joy and surprise I pressed
my face into his long soft fur. Oh,it felt much too real to have only been a...
