Long Punctilious Poems

There stood a castle on the summit of a hill
Now fallen to decay, hidden among bushes wild
It perched like an eagle’s nest on the steep hill
It was owned by a Lord, gentle and mild

Blessed with...

Peter Piper was ever punctilious, like minty nature's painstaking paintings,
Or the palsied skies of one pretty evening, in the hour of the sun's fainting.

Peter lived upon a small, fertile farm, and was one of five,...

I was a happy, fluent linguist, fruitfully helping revive endangered languages,
As colorful rainbows walk across the sky, in buttery hours, turned languorous.

I enjoyed doing practical fieldwork, and establishing useful literary programs,
As the honeysuckle sun loves...

 all for you, superannuated, desiccated erudition,
 this propagation scribed, this apotheosis odium;
 under eructate flames, under the epitome of,
 euphonious, promulgated magniloquent inception;

Children, our most treasured wealth shouldn’t grow maimed
In joyful living and the art of life, they need to be groomed

At a young age when they are flexible and pliable
A mother’s gentle guidance will help them...

"Dia de Los Muertos", the Spanish name it.  Eve

She smiles
and considers the crowd,
all backward somersaulting
detached vagabonds, all,
serious soft smalls revealed -
marshmallows imbued
with the glee of writing 
irregular poetry;
works of art thou art,  
thou art, thou art, all indeed -
and what did Dickinson...

Tell me the truth, yet you must state it straight
The reality of punctilious twisting within the tale 
Our life is often how it should be, sans fail
Here, we're poised, we're enacting great

Do you recall telling you...

Into the indigo sky 
the planes climb
at regular intervals,
like clean, slow-motion 
signal flares
fired by a punctilious soldier
fighting a decorous war. 

From this distance,  
the planes’ engines
are little pendant earrings, 
swingless beneath
ridiculous cantilevered ears, 
their...

In a  joyous praise of Spring’s embrace 
Comes a  glorious, punctilious, Victorian ara
With clothes of Cotton, satin, and lace 
to make our appearances look bright and fair.

All that the sun shining ever brightly...

Chaste and more graceful
Than the white canvassed Dhow:
Reclines sweet Nefertiti 
Upon a Blue Nile breeze.
Fabled entity more whiter
Than the purest white snow
That thickly blankets
And folds over the wide Pyrenees.

Dipped is thy beak 
Into a harvesters...

Pacific, pacifist pampered papa
parading par excellent paragon
parent (parenthetically parochial
particularly partisan) parvenu
passive, passionately paternalistically patient,

paunchy, peaceably pepped, perfectionist,
perceptive, perennially perky, permissively
persevering, persistently personable, perspicuous,
pertinent, phenomenally philanthropic, philharmonic

picturesquely pious, pioneering, piquantly pithy,
playfully pleasant, pleasurably plucky, plummy,
poetically poignant,...

This is what you’re

For God’s sake
Shake off shadowy cocoon
Of your broken past and its
Punctilious cares,
As along the pathway of love
Nobody laughs at the afflicted heart.
The lamp that you lit
Every night has burnt a hole
In the...

Purple butterflies flooded the meadow that morn
Cherry blossoms, Queen Anne’s lace and daisies smiled
This was the reunion of the apricot faerie and her unicorn
A prophecy fulfilled, a joyous gift of extra meadow light.

My uncle's polka dot bow-tie is markedly symbolic,
For he has been, throughout his life, a fervent spotaholic.
His patient wife, dear Dottie, with whom he is quite besotted
Will only buy him underpants if suitably bespotted!

Punctilious with...

To write this piece will be strenuous.
It could become downright arduous.
For it is a task quite rigorous.
So, despite the fact it may be onerous;
To the point of being tortuous.
The poet remains truly zealous.
In actuality he...

"On Gelid Night"  by David Hart
On gelid night, prone amidst this small sea of
  faineant coverlets,
A nimeity of somnolent susurrations--
Bombinate and pierce the greyblack night.

Still, the foundling lies on bilious pillow
A radiator's dolorous...

Days of longing, days alone,
hours and hours spent on you own
days of dreaming still alone
anxious just to hear the phone.

Nights are sleepless, endless too,
the rooster's call long overdue,
the noise unwelcome when first heard,
that slave to...

Multitudinous bells secern the tones
as may resound sharp bamboo xylophones.

Pulchritudinous bells have rhythmic ding,
others that linger with tedious ring.

Some little bells can echo a jingle
that surely bestow a Christmas tingle.

Quite many bells ting melodious chime
