Best Word List Poems

Anomaly don't enter contests like this
the style is a bit avant-garde,
I'm a bit of an oldie, preferring baroque
and finding this bona fide hard.
The cacophony of words dancing round in my head,
carte blanche to use this ten word list,
this is my third attempt, seems a bit...

I will use some lovely words today.
I am determined to use words like gossamer, gauzy,
delight, nirvana, heavenly, and what the heck?
Who is knocking on my door like that? Putting me in a bad mood.
It sounds like they are pounding the house down.

It is my dog,...

hey! Chillax  baby,
do not bother with the Snarks

a delishful brunch
of cheeseburgers and mocktail
makes XXXL size hit

Absurd as it may sound
Appreciate life as it is found
Admirable thought and profound.

Cat on the wall
Caught in its caterwaul
Costly mistake of wrong choice

Emits a purr and a mew
Engineer  scraps design for new
Excellent cast of the dies.

Golden blessings from above
Generous dolings of love
Genial nature without...

Looking back, a morning mist hangs
In the deeply shadowed valleys
From the deck of ‘Atlanta,’
Land recedes on the power of wind
In the deeply shadowed valleys
The sun is  slowly awakening trees
Land recedes on the power of wind
Sails respond to a surging sea
The sun is  slowly...

I apologize for sometimes being lazy 
having written down a poem that now translates to google voice paging.

I grab my tablet and hit display but lack the desire
to traverse the keys with my index pointed finger.

I press the microphone for Google voice
which now translates only...

Penelope’s in a hopeless quandary, backed into a corner.
She enjoyed the flirt of youth. Had no one warned her?
She rejected freedom of reflection. ‘Who’s she? ...not a saint.’
Penelope painted on her face, mirror-perfection - faithfully quaint.
Platinum blonde tresses, like a fisherman’s net, she caught men.

DEATH DEVOURS LOVELY THINGS


The fallow ground was thirsty for her —
“I’m in trouble” stung like a nightingale’s knife.
The moon and stars in vertiginous blur
stilled her mothering heart — her life.

Music of the twilight and cherry bobs
in the twins’ manhattans. Celebratory smiles
and cheers ferment to grieving...

freedom, and a little flower."     Hans Christian Andersen

ahh...auspicious shake of good fortune.
the soil so red, smells so rich.
the allure of an ancient burial box.
my eyes, like pyres of greed.

admiring thieves have no appetency for my pillage.
the cold stone shovel carelessly careens
showers of dirt on insulted flower heads,
but i’ve no time to waste....

An army of vampires, this night’s parade. Paralyzed are the gawking present day minds. Mouths agape, rubbing eyes, a thought that there may be no escape. The sign out front would be humorous except it’s diabolical.

we will be feasting
this Halloween by moonlight 
do join our...

Words come out
Pout to shout


In deep feel
A crisp thrill


Weave the gist
In word list


Feel the thrill
Where words spill


Know deep trance
As words dance


Mind meets mood
Feel form food


Glimpse good grace
Apt art ace


Craft rich blend
Round this bend


In good shape
Word sketch drape


Rhyme greets time
Dance deep chime


In sheer thrill
Word fudge shrill


Now...

My health is back; I am almost normal
I had been in the bowels of depression
after eight weeks of shingles that took me out and shook me

I saw my friends yesterday, for the first time 
Seeing them is a great way to generate poem ideas
Their stories...

With reckless abandon, I tearfully love
Nearby the carefree heart is laid
Lashes of eyes so greatly beloved
With reckless abandon, I tearfully love
Passion ensued in wishes above
Quietly grinned a serenade
With reckless abandon, I tearfully love
Nearby the carefree heart is laid
