Mellifluence Poems | Examples


Premium MemberPicasso Paradox


my mind is an abstract vase,
adorned with 
     crystal gold lines~ 
                 from pixelated pearls
homing 
      whimsical wishes
               and 
      blue-rose reveries,
a Picasso paradox
           painted 
                with 
       sculptured serenity...

but as violin warmth
                of melancholia 
 ricochets in 
                 hypnotic cadence
listen to the 
              lethargic starlight
   orchestrate a concerto ~
depicting this tired tongue,
   s e a r c h i n g 
for a major chord
         of magical mellifluence
to summon the 
           silver 
                  of your 
                        citrine moon... 

for when i n k 
             flows between 
  sun-blushed seas
             in feisty meter
I still trace your
        blue-blaze vibrance~
drawing an ardent ambience
             of l o v e 
                         before the r a i n...

I am a misplaced metaphor, musing amidst alliterative mellifluence.

Premium MemberAn Euphonious Mellow Sound

the euphonious sound wafted in through my open window
it was mellow, honeyed, mellifluous
not a flute, not a dulcimer
an ethereal, angelic sound
my soul wanted to hear more
there was a soft subtle mellifluence to it
it was silver-toned
I looked up, expecting to see an angel appear
horrified instead by the presence of an angry grim reaper
you are supposed to come to the window and lean out!
he chased me around the room waving his scythe.

Peanut

In blue jeans and a sweatshirt, 
tousled hair, a cheeky grin, 
she whistles and the birds sing back, 
she puts a load of laundry in. 

A country girl with country manners, 
"Thanks so much!" blesses her lips, 
her daughter shares her airs and graces, 
dancing now, mom sways, she dips. 

Dressing up for Church on Sunday, 
mom and Peanut looking fine, 
mom's pleasant voice outsings the others 
with mellifluence divine. 

Skipping home from God's Communion, 
licking ice cream cones they smile, 
playing Hopscotch on the corner, 
laughing, leaping all the while. 

A six-year-old with imitations 
of an adult's ways and means, 
she's the Perfect Little Lady 
sharing Mommy's hopes and dreams!

...for Juvie and Tarah

In blue jeans and a sweatshirt,
tousled hair, a cheeky grin,
she whistles and the birds sing back,
she puts a load of laundry in.

her daughter shares her airs and graces,

of an adult's ways and means,
she's the perfect little lady
sharing momma's hopes and dreams.
