Fanciful Poems

Less fanciful fight

The war will be great they say in God’s grace to me one night
But, the fighter planes took off for a far from fanciful flight
For a beseeching cry for me to stay as I watched my birthday boy fly his kite
But, was woken early by her ‘hurry to’ or the general will bite
I dreamt of

I FOUND MYSELF REBORN

She led me by the hand
Through a green forest.
Twisting around the trunks,
Ducking beneath low branches.
I followed blindly in love
With the feel of her hand
And the utter sweetness
Of her breath on my cheek,
And her – encompassment.
She stopped in a clearing
But a few yards across,
Pulled herself against my hand
Until her lips covered mine
And her breast impressed
Pertly on

Fanciful Visions

     A thought flew by
       I tried to snatch it
     But from the air
       I just could not grab it

     Next floats an image
       along

Fanciful Fantasies For Fatalists

Dancing on the edge of a razor and stool as my ropen neck tie stands taught in two dimensions. This precarious balancing act in which life consists stands directly in the way of cold embracing bliss offered by abyss. 

And, I’m drowning. 

Choking on what’s good and what isn’t anchors me in a state endured

Uncontrollable Muse

Where my hopes meet with
My dreams, heartfelt
Joy and brilliant imaginings kiss
Away the doubts, the demons
Who tempt me to listen
To the darkness, the dread, the depression
All the anxious that lives within
Where my skeptic is my biggest sinner…

There, amid the uncertainty
Knowing only a measure of hope,
Disquieted by the distrust, the mediocrity
I resolve to listen to the light
Who

Fanciful

Why does the mind love those fanciful tales
of firey dragons and great dancing whales?
Easier to digest spurious tales gone awry
than to taste sweetness of questioning why.

Fanciful Image

Fanciful Image

A golden crescent necklace
Adorning a cobalt sky
Creates a placid prayerful scene
And pensively I sigh...

If only everyone could see
Such scenes the way that poets do
Surely their minds would feel calm
And tranquility would ensue.

But this is merely poetic fancy
In a world beset by tribulation
Such whimsy is not often shared
By the general population.

So, I'll store this fanciful

Fanciful Thinking

Wearing the finest designer clothes
     good character does not make,
For many a multi-millionaire
     has been discovered
     to be an outright fake.

Godly words are mighty easy to pen--
     easier than living the Golden Rule
Or thinking of yourself

Skill matrix tonight
except that it is fanciful
so let my friend try.

Miller's wife tonight
except that it is fanciful
so may my friend.

Fanciful Filigree Faerie

Fanciful filigree faerie frolics
Garnishing grateful glittery gardenias
Heavenly hope heralding 
Iridescent illusions imagining 
joyous jumbled jubilation

Your Ideas Are Fanciful and Airy-Fairy

Your ideas are fanciful, friendly, airy-fairy.
The five-year-old smiled; this pleased her.  She clapped her hands.
So we will use them! She said joyfully.

Not this time, her mother told her, but soon. Maybe next time.

What about a book? The five-year-old asked. Could we make my
ideas into a book?  

It would be a fantastic book! Her

FANCIFUL FREDA

Fanciful Freda
What you got for us
Ain't got a car
So you ride a bus

Fanciful Freda
What's its like to be you
Walking down the street
Wit no shoes on

Immortality Is Fanciful

Like antique china that slips through clumsy fingertips 
Shattered into tiny fragments
Unrepairable, unreplaceable
A blameless mistake 
It's beauty disintegrates 
Never to be appreciated again
By future enthusiasts

Like a daisy tweaked from the vast landscape
Once admired by all that stumbled upon it
Basking in the summer sun
Life dragged from its roots
Crippled at its fragile stem
It will never grow again
