Bad Breath of Angel Hair
The whiff of angel hair untidy
reeks a reft of detritus
with showers of glitter, confetti
raining down torrential,
on poesy of angel breath petals
amongst the roses, daffodils
and daisy chains
written on a page
cheered on by a sage,
succumbed by
the celebrant's rage
to breath excess
on angel's stage.

The Dying of the Poet’s Dream
I have this fear that beyond my years
Every word I’ve said or written will be gone,
Like dust in the wind or seas where rivers end
These thoughts of mine will vanish with the dawn.
No money or fame do I proclaim
Nor legacies of great things I have done,
No battle scars or discovered

Kindness like confetti
I met Kindness;
I guessed he was in his early thirties
Rode the bus like me and sat next to me
He liked my hair, thought it was neatly done
I sat there waiting for the catch, none came
In the evening I met Kindness again
This time she wore a pretty dress
She came to

Devour sprinkles,
my tongue a flavor’s canvas;
Brushed confetti rain.

CONFETTI
So like a puzzle, poorly jigsawed, with edges that never meet.
Shredded, sliced, and torn; and much too small to be folded or broken.
Wee bits of paper, wafting in the air, and falling to the street,
As the throng below shout the words which once a year are spoken.
In pastel tints are these minced papers, that float

Black Confetti Gone
Our
conversations quickly turn to black confetti.
Dining in separate cells.
Fingering our cell phone pals to death.
Until they turn us on.
Chips in our relationship throb.
Yellow tape outlining respect.
Where does love go,
oh, where does love go when it's
gone.

Confetti Kiss
Storm into my heart with your blues
And make them my own
Eclipse my emerald eyes in such passion
I will never feel alone
Rain upon my neck with nuptial nibbles
Like black crow consuming flesh
Flood my face with colorful laces kisses
sweet like cake slippery like fish
Bring me your love be it long overdue
Like communion Sunday sermon blessed true
Full

Confetti Sunset
Last eve's sunset wowed
for it held a million hues
as night stood waiting.
Reds and plums, hailed fading blues
Orange and pink spread the news.
I took a photo
of scarlet sun of my heart
in midst of tango.
A prelude to faint starlight-
in time's pretty pause.

CONFETTI
I’ve loved confetti, since I was a girl.
Rainbow painted, and soft as a curl.
A baptism in God’ s rainbow,
Cascading from from the Sky’s bow.
Thus, I shall always love its colors,
Falling from heaven’s own stunning show!

attention
scatters
the simplified
silhouette
so
remarkable
& subjective
a state of mind
in dream lapses
this luminous
impression
to express
an aspect of this
style
of condensed dreams
multi dimensional

lulls falls
stepped teeming
close yet
discrete
contrasts
orientated &
heightened
a
coherent image
I delight
to grasp
THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived

Confetti Heart
My heart is a little lonely home with
confetti cannons;
It soars with smoke and sparkling stardust;
My heart pounds with no destination for the rush of everything so intense;
At the risk of an unintentional direct hit?
I shut it down in self defense.

Throw Kindness Around Like Confetti
“Throw Kindness around like confetti” (motto attributed to Kate Spade)
Throw kindness around like confetti.
Find chances wherever you go.
There's no act of kindness that’s petty
when light of your love you let show.
Confetti at parties and weddings
is celebratory and fun.
Let’s celebrate life in all settings -
from morning until the day’s done.
While driving to work on the freeway
