A cavalcade of savage singing lights
whip worshippers of ultraviolet;
Indulging the most hedonistic threat
they raise hooks to meritorious heights;
DJ’s entourage being read last rites
at the end of that set they won’t forget;
A cavalcade;
The swollen witching hour synthetic bites
direct reckless dancers to a sure bet;
Inarticulate’s the best you can get;
Obsessing over complicated fights,
a cavalcade.
What should I write about, so many topics to choose from
Ideas flowing through my mind with a lot more to come
A poem I would describe it as an imagination of emotions
To be successful at writing poetry takes a lot of devotion
To produce a great poem I need to pick a topic that truly
inspires me
Unleashing a cavalcade of words so fancy and free
To capture an audience I need to grab their attention
Create a visual experience to stimulate the senses
If I can bring a smile to a face with the words I portray
Or perhaps something so intriguing that it makes their day
In the end, nothing is more powerful than words put together to stimulate the mind
A poem that intrigues you I hope you can find
The sun awakes from a night of slumber
Rays cascade down I start to wonder
Birds take off traversing an upward flight
Gliding them into a newfound light
The waves of the ocean start to applaud
The sun looks down, a wink and a nod
A sea of people embrace the warmth it makes
A spectrum of colors bounces off the lake
The trees reach up to shake its hand
Voices from nature cavalcade across the land
dark morning Springtime
before wild best friends wallows
rabbits and squirrels play

day grand afternoon
an active pigeon paddles
whiles splashing in pond

A side show
That is life’s stages
Some happy
Sometimes sad
Victims of a vision quest
Parading around
Under view
Performing stories
Some tragic
Some glory
Without plans for the next act
With just choice of form
