Dabbing Poems

Ground Clouds and Fish Smaze

...A mackerel sky fillets a fish scaled village,
an ear clapping, full sailed, fog
moors itself to the rooftops,
then hides all in a breezeless blear.

Rheumy eyes peep out from nets,
damp noses s...

Death Bids Me Welcome

...Death bids me welcome
Into his tended garden
Where quiet plots of bramble clots
House names now long forgotten.

Engravings faded, darkened serifs 
Tower over brighter plaques 
Sooted over gen...

Autumnal Misty Mornings

...
With gentle hushed whispers
                  autumn paints umber hues
                     dabbing silvery mist

ochre autumnal shades
       embrace misty mornings
           a grandeur ...

Art And Loving

...Tendency is, to apportion 
Love:

like slices of iced sweet
at a party

braying festive, 2 playful swipes 
at a swinging, loaded donkey

(not the husband this time)

toffee for the dear lo...

BEYOND FAREWELL

...Bound to reach a close, everything goes as thus
Your farewell etched like a scar
Whispers in the dark, so it flows
Echoes in my mind as I still drift afar
Contemplating lies, contending excuses 
...

Quiet on Silhouette

...Florid banshees recoiled, neck and hankering sneer.

A succinctly exuberant suggestion when selective.

Came on, fell flat with laconic ornamentation.

A miniature jaunt, interment; glove compa...

My Little Eden

...My little Eden -- 
before the fall

a screened porch
in the shade of
an ancient
overarching
fig tree

small wonder
Adam and Eve
needed only one each
to hide their new
nakedness -- 

ch...

IT STARTED WITH A BLANK CANVAS

...IT STARTED WITH A BLANK CANVAS

Come lay your paint on me, it pleaded
I’m here in this garret, naked and cold
So what could I as a sensitive artist, do
Except comply, dabbing shades of blue
Rea...

meeting a princess

...Meeting a princess

It was, according to the old, the coldest winter
any could remember, the wise said it was because 
the war had disturbed the weather pattern
One day, it snowed, then it got m...

Decoupling

...Your life may be full of sparkles and ove-lay but the rest of us sometimes struggle under storm clouds.

Anna (one of my roommates) broke up with her BF of a year. It seemed to happen in agonizing,...

Essence of Spring

...mother nature wakes
 dabbing on her best perfume . . .
 roses are in bloom...

Tribute To Harry Horsman

...The old oak tree.
So happy I wrote: Lovely!
“Let us hear the bluebell call,
the daffodil pray,
the apple blossom bear witness.”
I hip hip hurrah’d this paradigmatic poem.
I read it a few minute...

Poetry

...Often I harken back
to a very wise poet,
how “life is but a stage”

of tender moments
splashed and splattered
by fierce jabs of passionate 
heated rage 

such opera the workings of 
fallibl...

Protect Your Eyes Like a Chief

...Your eyes need your first - class care,
Which has to include some yeast
And they shan't Midday Sun dare;
As Sun eyes The West, facing The East,
Lest one turn Prince of Darkness, 
Too early feeli...

True Love Never Dies

...
Liquid hope, trickling down roses
Lights glisten and glimmer
With delight, the heart composes
Dabbing tears the soul opposes
Fears tumbling, left in the shimmer
Doubts gone, ever d...
