Long Miniatures Poems

See these tiny things
Filled with thought profound;
Cute miniatures spring
From creative grounds.


In a format small,
Craft miniature books;
Haiku moments call:
Browse and take a look.


One and a half inch,
The book height is short;
Words squeezed just to lynch
Warm poetry...

My abiding memory of 2015 is of events that are so sad
With my father’s death, it’s the worst year I’ve ever had

But with amazing support I remain...

Dreaming of frogs playing guitars, lounging on a campfire pyre,
Her manifestation of these little hopping miniatures tickled her
Naturally nude with an upside down hat, she was uninhibited, fully exhibited.
Two prissy potential suiters ran out screaming,...

A Gods Eye View of The World

Every form blends and fades
Persistent though 
And meaningful
Below from top to bottom slides
Encompassed by
Itself
Describes a purpose
To shift from one to another
And never made less
Than the original

Veins and circulars entwined
Each...

Waves pushed a torrent of power and might.
Against the tiny creature seemingly lost in the night.
With only the moon to navigate her path,
Little seahorse galloped—
	Giddy up—giddy up—
Hungry suitors let her pass, tonight peace without wrath.

Hippocampus—was...

The sugar sweet balm of salt water taffy
      graced the breeze.
While savoring deep breaths of this seaside confection,
       I held tightly, my grandmother’s hand.

Masquerade
 
Tilt the balance scale gently
then to find what maybe
the culmination of action
speaking
doing
building by impression
the mask of another person
 
Eventually totality of what shall be
the papermache of opinion
constructed and connived
by inability’s pride to discover
face value

alone
     for a moment
measuring sound
frozen
       pieces
in a particular
               way

I wonder

I always considered you littered my home,
Small knickknacks adorning overcrowded shelves.
The marble statues you bought from lovely Rome,
I leave them there, a memory of ourselves.

And in gay Paris, you just went mad with joy
Those miniatures...

The scents I remember like hand rolled cigars
Wine cask lined cellars in musty cool basements
Chocolate miniatures nestled in bright candy dishes
Tea leaves and mint steeping in dainty china cups.

Baked goods cooling on the kitchen counter
Roast...

Well if you insist

I am not the color of my skin or the clothes on my back.  
I am not who or what you assume me to be. 
I am not a foul mouthed...

A swift, surreal ethereal streak in the form of an angelic unicorn
The woodland miniatures were compelled to glance at woodland sky
Was that a unicorn? A wizened older elf asked.

Brownies and pixies were immediately in discussion.
Pixies...

Leaves flew in opposite directions amidst of cruel storm
As clouds poured its tears causing waters rushed on feet
The world started to paint darker shades – a nightmare look like
Wind blew and scared the whole crowd...

I sat quietly staring out the porthole window
As we were passing over a village in the low hills
A cumulus cloud casting over its ominous shadow
Far below in the silence of the engine’s shrills,

I was drifting off to dreamland, so my senses were deadened a bit
When a piper full of magic entered the forest for a tiny sit.
He took out a flute and began enticing flying things to...

March you wooden miniatures, 
Sullen and stoic all. 
Bend the band with iron hand, 
Heed your master’s call.
Lambs and cattle, herds no matter, 
Flocks and docks and drops of rain.
With massive moods and thundering hooves,...

There was a tree in a town of Maldives, 
Irrespective of the season, it thrives,    
Its girth, tens of hand spans, 
At midnight the leaves dance,
No one has seen this except the...

Who understands the agony,
Of a beautiful sapphire,
Who believes in the truth,
Of a proven liar,

Who helps men,
Of indecent behaviors,
Who cures a soul,
Bearing incessant failures,

Who cleans the room, 
Of messy creatures,
 Who follows the orders,
Of dreadful miniatures,

Who...

Books hurl clear writes to pique fancy,
Observe fine blends that cast new light;
Opt for bold cites in precious sea,
Keep deep such trends that offer sight.
Meet and greet cheer in subtle tense,
Ink stains endear such poignant...

Bicycle tires spinning, carefree with no helmet —
The nineteen-sixties, the neighborhood is our space.

In Summertime, the playground’s a haven with friends —
Sunny smiles, weaving potholders and lanyard lace.

We peers are miniatures — unpolished future selves...

Popcorn is ready 
The lights are turned down real low 
The movie begins 
Old cheesy black and white show 
Scary, but gives you a smile 
No CG, just props 
See the wires on the ship...
