Duller Poems

Well, Loved

...Like old paint,
the discarded heart chips away
where it lay
in a hollow chest
not unlike my own breast.

In its prime,
untainted by sin
and made of sheepskin,
its candy apple hue

Recognizing Beauty

...The world looks different when you are grieving
colors seem duller, food doesn't taste as good,
music isn't as uplifting but, there is beauty and
if you recognize it and appreciate it, I am hoping...

Crayon Box Dreams

...When days of dreary tropes could feel no duller,
and gray heavens escape my pencil’s reach,
—oh misery!, it can’t be set to speech,—
my crayon box dreams of unbridled color!

When weeks waste pr...

The Three Primary Colors

..."Never paint except with the three primary colors [red, blue, and yellow] and their derivatives."  Camille Pissarro

One primary color can make me feel mellow
when warm like honey heat...

Love

...Long retired now; but the 
clock yet plays a paramount
roll, when it comes to daily
activities -- still not my 
own boss: Doctor's have
schedules, fiber intake for

When it stops it means that the ground is in settled order. An overflow of water does not exist.

Now listen to the trees a...

Forget Me Not

...Forget Me Not

Forget me not when petals drop
or when succulent fruits decay,
though their energies dissipate
their existences are recalled,
on duller days when seasons change
and a bri...

Horse Sense

...The two mares owned by Mister Muller

One was dark and the other duller

But the one it was said

Was more a shade of red

That's a horse of a different color...

As I am

about everything getting older and duller

like I've seen some people do 
and they make poetry books too
but rarely do 
they write...

reverie

...An existential crisis
Left to my own devices
Not an ounce of assistance
Never show any resistance
Just comply and let it be
Dignity isn't a necessity

I'm not the flower you'd pick fro...

The Stately Iris Flower

...The Stately Iris Flower

Bearded irises are tall and stately in form
They grow from rhizome sculptured leaves through a storm
Standing stiffly upright or curving at the tips
A swollen stem where...

designing duller scenery to glow.
The cooler temps invite us to befriend-
in full excitement for its destined show.
