Long Pizazz Poems

I wait with bated breath for... C. Cure T. Clarence

The following crafted 
approximately midway 
into the administration 
of forty fifth president,
whose crass, gutsy, lewd,
repulsive yawping finds
him squarely poised to
nab the nomination as
Republican front runner
come the...

The look of pity on the saleswoman's face said it all
my paint spattered clothing, however the jeans fit
just didn't have that panache, chic pizazz, tongue hanging
inspiration for desire a young woman out to have.

daggers asper mistakes in original draft,

He wanted stark, she wanted mess.
Bareness irritated her, he insisted on no paintings.
He loved their boring black and white life.
She wanted color, pizazz, flair.  He did not.

But wait, she lived here too, right?
She dragged...

the “inevitable”

watching mr. hope & change’s puppet,
mr. jay carney, 
quiver with near climactic anticipation 
as he mutters to a room full of reporters
that “assad’s fall is inevitable,”
reminds one of libya’s fall that was
also “inevitable,”
and how...

In depth of woods how autumn dazzles, swirling beauty of ornate décor,
Waltzing with ochre hickory, birch; whirling flaxen moods of sycamore,
Gracing my view upon blazing foothills, where vistas gamboge scroll,
Bedecking maples, swaying rhythms, with fiery...

quietly, she pen's just for your delight
in tune with herself, her muses transpose
to boost your world with a sparkle of light 

the art within has much more to propose

Every artist knows
Their canvas is not complete
Without a pop of passionate red.

Every stop sign knows
They will not be honored
If they are not the right color

The flag would be blah if it was only blue and...

Frozen in Time

Emotions lost, frozen in time.
Scream for the warmth of your breath.
Words remembered, once stationary 
Now dance across synapses of the mind
Where snowmen watch youthful frolics
And broken hearts crumble.
Blankets of cold passion embrace a...

Emotions stir eternally enchanted,
each hurricane fades to a black sky.
The listless poet’s quill drips,
corralling every vibrant sunset. 
Writing as old lyrics catch the air,
Say it to me again.. ‘Freefall!’

I don’t want to be disappointed 
but...

Stepping gently in, on the edge of summer
You are the one who mellowed glorious sun
On playgrounds, picnics, frolicking in fun
In euphony of birdsongs of amiable dawns
Where horizon velvet gleams golden nylon
As verdant-hills, slowly, adorn tawny-brown.

But...

ANTICIPATION

Gorgeous, handsome, intriguing, jazzy, knockout lad
just sitting alone, sipping his glass of shaken martini.
Disinterested, deep in thoughts with muted sighs.
Suddenly, something caught his expressive eyes.

Attractive, beguiling, charming dame, enticing, foxy
heading to the table across his,...

She is popular no doubt 
In the fray of every conversation
Interested in everyone’s story
Flitting around the room injecting optimism
Instilling hope
A sanguine personality with pizazz

I follow her as she work the room
Charisma on fire
Charming them like...

Tidal connection,
wild flowers woo a Clownfish;
Anemone bond,
give in give up a little;
Flourish and flow together.

Seeds of ambrosia,
birds fight over leftovers;
Mammals with munchies
pass around shareable plates;
It’s never polite to gorge.

Dancing Bryony 
playing both sides of the...

This bird has pizazz, perkiness, and he is popular.
I rolled my eyes inside my head, for she owes me money.

The Crescent City

Ancestral roots are calling me
to Crescent City near the sea.
A city with its past displayed
where long ago the pirates played.

The glowing lights of Vieux Carré;
Café du Monde’s belov’d beignets,
and Creole foods prepared with...
