Stanly and Coolbricz

Too impassioned more forlornly flower, does the turning dais merit another brother from which hails the borderline snowy hail, that which emotes so white that one mistakes the ink for snowcones, the pen for flavor? I should only curse the forewarning of any haunted house the suitor exiled the forsworn blouse a billowing willow fades with time, time-travel indeed, two sick swines.

Premium Member Magic of May

Quote: "May, queen of blossoms, and fulfilling flowers, what pretty music shall we charm the hours?" 
                                                                                                                          - Lord Edward Thurlow


The jazzy arched blossoms with vibrant hues
Bouquet boutiques and the scent they diffuse
The terrain seems as an embroidered piece
God's stretched hanky as the Eden of peace

Nonchalant vibes of nature's musicians
Organize a dais for auditions
The carolling tunes make it a dreamland
All become a part of this music band

The redolence and the trills in full swing
Forging May stellar as the heart of spring

Caligula

Pride who elevates itself
For worth does overshadow
The lesser and low
More tyrant general's, king's
From horse and dais mounted
A god's robes outspread.

A cat may look upon a king;
even dare to turn and ignore him;
walk arched-back before the throne;
make the dais his very own;
sleep beneath the royal footstool;
and kings allow the feline’s rule -
for though none crowned the brazen cat,
no-one loves the rat.

More than just the right to be,
the puss has licence to roam free,
with status shrined by what is done
because he hunts what others shun.
Low born, low bred - yet all know that
a king must look upon a cat.

Vallencourt

It was hitomebore —
florette splintering my heart
until it pulverized
victorious eyes
burning into mine, poppyseeds
bursting into coquelicot corolla

Je ne change point

I fell through the somnolent
stone dais with cinnabar charms,
faithful but blind,
my fears mounting but muted
victims of mise en abyme
as I transition to hedone’s unknown

Je ne change point

Rebels hang off
haught Victorian lips,
their ineffable limerence shimmers
in Andromeda's chocolate cosmos,
promising one day they’ll be found

Before the Battle- Acrostic WEREWOLVES

Whispers of the wind rise through my pink hued leaves.
Ethereal evening glow lights the skies.
Raiders of the dusk, hovering on standby.
Walking my way past, I take the dais.
Omnipresent generals in attention stand along with me biased.
Longing wreathes wait on the carved guardians of kingdom mean.
Voyage through the vast unknown is on cards
Either a march to victory or martyrdom I believe.
Salvo of battle cry reverberates unseen.


Stockholm Shame

Science
has brought
us closer 
to the edge of our oblivion
Nuclear fission
angel dust
processed foods
and smog
Two steps forward
ten steps back
ennobling every dirty fact
as children choke and cry
There’s one award
the Swede’s leave out
that’s missing
on their dais
The Nobel Prize
for mass destruction
as progress masquerades
— unchecked

(Sweden: May, 2008)

Magic of the wildflowers

Engrossing sunbirds,
bees and butterflies
Smirks subtly
a cluster of wildflowers

Dispersing seeds
Through wind and rain
A barren monotonous plain
the wildflowers pervade

Singing to the tunes of bees
Waving to the songs of breeze
The wildflowers set a dais
to please the audience

Cosmos, the team head
Vibrant colors they widespread
Dandelions, the collaborators
Destined to list our wishes good

The divine scent they proliferate around 
Is all enough to spellbound-
the novel flies, all perform a lovely play 
And leave us astounded every day 

Engrossing sunbirds,
bees and butterflies
enthrall vividly 
a cluster of wildflowers

Decorated with the festoons of poems 

Disseminating the aroma of knowledge

With eye-feasting and insightful portraits

A storehouse of passions and emotions

Bringing myriad thoughts across the world together

A lovely platform that has accommodated me

Operatic Performance

Skilled songbird on a fence stump.
Diva on a dais!
Ensuring, for what's brought, more'ore
Of grandness to the fore

Whilst lit of morn, from behind
Are facing, window-bright
Bed's uprisen, roused in the heart
Swollen praise on our part.

Premium Member A Spectacular Show

Sky covers her nakedness
with the raiment of clouds
Stars array in circular patterns
to stage a group ballet
Amid, sits queen moon
in silken robes and a silver diadem 
bathed in garish light
with a flash of amber and a blaze of gold
like a halogen lamp
Soon clouds will make way for
the royal maidens’ ramp walk
across the long isle of the firmament

Keep your eyes raised
for the spectacular show
Shove your way to the dais
to get a better peek!

Premium Member Infinitely Great

Piled up high, infinitely great,
    a crushing weight

Remove? No angel army can,
    no mortal man

A gaze, not one, down from that throne,
    could bear alone

Guilt oozed your pores, stifled all moans,
    then from the dais, to your side,
    with arms spread wide, He cast aside 
A crushing weight no mortal man could bear alone
