Long Synecdoche Poems

Here’s a twain of siblings so delicate—
The tenor and its weary vehicle,
Similar are, nor yet so disparate
O lady, art not thou so fickle? 

In seeming sameness struts lady contrast, 
Harmony jars to sing in unsure...

My heart is an ebon swallowed night where nobody ever goes,       
raging in a recondite rift like ripples resounding in rueful repose.       ...

Your time has come like the rising sun.  Stand up for life created by God’s love as 
the dove descends from above.  He has a plan for you to be one with Him...

Frightened By the Polls

As frightened as a wolverine in a man-made metal trap,
The politician crawled out from under his rock.
Afraid, after his voting record was revealed,
He avoided facing his constituency and their votes.
Never had he...

I’m love, expressing the Creator’s heart
For God is love, and love is the greatest 
Magnifying miracle-mercy moves 
Toward prayer’s length; upward service strength 
Defying Venus and Aphrodite’s might. 

Wondrous sight is it to cite my...

*Niafalls, the****** Antiope of Canada,
Amazonian, but not breast less,
***Snowy bosom like virginal gems,
Swelling lips moderately full,
Savoury odor felt all around,
****Crystalline throat striking the eyes.

Meandering, churning, darting, dashing,
Transformed from **blonde to brunette.
Here alluring, benign, attenuated,
There **corpulent,...

Air force and Navy can’t hunt them down
Dragons fly upside down, backwards and into tomorrow
Swing on pendulums to swallow time
In other realms they...

‘Is love not bitter’? I repeat once again,
‘Think with your brain ’it can make you insane.

I am the Antiope of Canada,
Amazonian, but not breast less,
Snowy bosom like virginal gems,
Swelling lips moderately full,
Savoury odor felt all around,

Transformed from blonde to brunette.
Here alluring, benign, attenuated,
There...

THIRST

As *time flips a second step,
a *tree dehydrated weeps
for resuscitation sting
tired but standing still 

Long ago its *branches dressed
with **emerald-feathered tips
And ***sweet scattered **scarlet hearts
luring hungry mouths.

but that was long time ago
when earth was packed...

1.  Always aspiring to authentic answers
2.  Belief begins, only to end
3.  Calls the crow, 'never, to'
4.  Drifting like October leaves
5.  Falling upwards, death is alive
6.  Gargling, bleating, cawing birth

When my words rhyme
Oh how I love the crime
Such forgivable murder
Of words changing order

Tis not only sequence
For you have to make sense
Read between the lines
'Cause that's where the secret lies

Measure not the length
But comprehend the...

You comment on my poem; I on yours.
"Your rhyme, meter and wit are exquisite,"
I say.  You reply, "Yours I revisit
on the net; love how your irony gores."
