Silence Looms
When you are wrinkled, and old and grey
And resting in your reclined chair
And when silence looms and warms the air
Your troubled thoughts seem fade away
Forgotten memories, long gone, lie black
And loved ones lost along the road
Then, smiles and tears in over-load
When heartfelt memories start to come back
Take

The looms of Cashmere and Lima
Nice shoes
and a fancy saddle
a beautiful horse
a gorgeous, gorgeous horse!
Oh to be, love and excepted
a graduier way for me to feel
a gaudy way for self expression
the silk you see is for real
owning and caring for
the whole ordeal
shined my shoes
they shine like polished steel
people of this hemisphere
an earthy more healthy
way to play
to sing from such a

Literate lettered latitudinarian looms larger than life
I feel honored, and flattered to acquaint myself (a married youthful looking sexagenarian solitudinarian from southeastern Montgomery County, Pennsylvania), yet feel awkward at jump/kick starting a rapport.
Literate lettered latitudinarian looms larger than life
Presents the following slapdash
higglety-pigglety bupkis, whereby reader
experiences being mentally hogtied
perusing pseudo poetic perambulation
devoid of sense and sensibility
welcoming character assassination
concerning pride and prejudice

Specter Looms
I died the other day,
fore am but a wraith,
manipulated by creatures,
leeches of the realm moribund.
Scars etch my face from lobotomies,
artistry crafted with a silver brush,
scalpel carves sanguinary in hush,
by a blind man, a white coat.
Smoke, Lilithian billowing tendrils,
swirl my essence, telekinesis,
baleful aura emanates the dirge,
mirth to match their futile folly.
Pluck the harp, smack the drum,

The Summer Looms
The summer looms, with days to fill
Since things are not routine.
No school means extra time to kill;
No rules to intervene.
Yet structure helps to pass the time,
So people won’t be bored
And having fun is not a crime;
It is its own reward.
Once plans are made, it’s extra nice
To set some time aside
To laze around and roll the

March's Dreariness Looms
March's dreariness looms
when no pigeon coons,
it grieves at spring's doorsteps
not willing to pass the baton,
resisting to give in until its frown
vanishes into the brightness of sun rays!
March is wilder than storms,
it can retain its brutality,
even being mean to Nature
which knows how badly it behaves,
letting lose its frightening madness
that viciously destroys wilderness;
how vile is it to

Ahead There Looms a Mountain
Ahead there looms a mountain
We see it in the sun
A symbol of hope and beauty
A laurel proudly won,
A tall and stately statue
To lift the soul's despair
Clothed in strength and valor
Bathed in crispy air.
A monument to loftiness
From Nature's gifted hands
The length of darkened valley
Majestic mountain spans.
We choose the path we follow
Our soul will stand the test
Did

Lockdown Looms
Dusk sets for the meek
They rush back home
Playing hide and seek
Damping their urge to roam
Lockdown about to loom
The cops head for road blocks
I shut myself in my room
Solitude for me surely rocks

Death Looms
He's courageous as he moves night and day,
Creating fear in hearts and force few to pray,
High or low he cares not,you have to pay,
Debts of many years which you can't delay,
Walks in darkness and twilight without ray,
Prepare your grave and ready to decay.

The Past Looms Large
Behind looms a mountain
Ahead, a narrow stream
The mountain is receding
The stream is your dream
The past is in the mirror
The future lies ahead
When the mountain disappears
Your dream will be dead

The Deadline Looms
The due date approaches; the deadline looms
Irritation's in the air; annoyance fumes
A cauldron boils in every newsroom
The tension's palpable; nerves are frayed
Editors hit the ceiling
At mistakes never made
Ill winds are blowing of mounting desperation
