Best Vivid Poems

Splashes of scarlet and violet blend into blue heavens
While soft, white, feathery clouds rise like angels taking flight
Over memories of Monet’s Artist's Garden at Giverny.

And the cemetery was fresh and vivid green 
when we took our bikes down the paths of it -
past stones and trees and mausoleums and grass as far as we could see,
carefree on that muggy summer afternoon,
perspiration glistening on our arms and on our faces
as...

sunset explosions
wandering butterfly swarms
windblown rose petals

bird populations
animals of many kinds
autumn leaves swirling

prestorm dark gray clouds
the world assortment of fruits
bouyant rainbow skies...

The orange flowers attract bumble bees
Yellow and black bees stung my red knees
Dance round flailing and wailing  crimson legs
Devilish dimples arose;  scratch pegs
Several amber ants stung white toes...

The vivid dream retained

If only a picture
Of that beautiful house
Remained. One photo is left
One of you and your spouse

The vivid dream retained

Each time I dream the dream
Every alcove and niche
Becomes more defined
In style, the house was rich

The vivid dream retained

If only I could see
You again...

Since early childhood I was aware of my sorroundings;
looking around with the interest of a grown-up man,
waiting for the golden sunrise with rosy streaks
to rise from beyond the Paterno Mountain...
to dazzle a southern boy with vivid dreams.


The clock-tower, in the Fallen Soldiers memorial square wreath-adorned,

Vivid contrasts emanate lively hues
from the brilliancy of colors,
to radiate skin, hair and eyes;
and these are the wishes of all lovers!


He's a handsome man in a dark suit well-pressed,
and she's a beautiful woman in a scarlet dress;
he doesn't like ladies with flashy clothes,
and she only...

Dream Darlin,
I am in your head
every line and curve of my body
the way I breathe with you against my skin
you remember the quiver of my lips as they touched your flesh
so soft and subtle with licorice red shimmer
you remember how my nimble hands ravaged...

Ladies' scents
so nice everywhere,
midst the hats.
Every style
making their unique statement,
like garden blossoms!...

In the holes of your face there are two sapphires,that is making me all desire. All my words,are vague,my silence is vivid.

I dreamed of shadow and of sun
A lucid outline, twasn’t much
Like lines and riddles often touch
Between, I found, my love
That time is riddled with these lines
--so juxtaposed
Memory cannot feel like hearts
She cannot beat nor burst
But with her vivid statuesque
She moves.

There is no silence bright as...

Beautiful Scars...
Vivid memories 
Of the home that I loved
It was also the house that I hated
Growing up just being a small child
Having to deal with big things
Arguments
Fights
You came right through the door
Starting shooting
Like a video game
No, more like a movie
I can remember your face 
Clear...

Red is the color of passion and rage
It creates a sense of infuriating rampage

Yellow is the color of joy that enlightens
Expressions of sunrises that always brightens

Green is the color of jealousy and power
Wherever it is there will be no one devour

Blue is the color of...

This is a true, but amusing tale,
Hope your laughter does not fail,
'Tis a saga of a cockatoo,
Of life, he held a jaundiced view,
At the going down of the sun,
Cocky embellished his own fun,
And at the rising of each dawn,
Cocky's catharsis our ears did adorn,
The parrot...
