Parenthesized Poems | Examples


Premium MemberSummer's End

The pampas grasses' tassels start to show
Creamy white against green
Behind the Crepe Myrtle's color
Banked like a sunrise preened

Gray clouds tinged with luminous light
From clear to magenta
A somber morn parenthesized
By stillness; fear enters

Silvery blanket drapes the woods
A foggy damp surrounds
Crickets sing a chipper melody
'Pon the damp, cool ground

Roosters' crows fall flat in the vale
Weighted by the moist air
Birds begin to awake and sing
Songs of love ending fair_

What will this day's purpose reveal?
Good, evil or neutral?
Only God knows ahead the events
Even the unusual

When Listening To Her Heart Beating

When listening to her heart beat
I can hear the metronomic  murmurs of string
and wind instruments blending
into a susurrous symphony
(expunging note upon note through my soul)
that goes from quiver to calm while pressed
against rhythms of her undulating breasts 

the chorus harmonizes in whispered
reverberations “I love you” wrapping
each softly plucked chord around
my name that is parenthesized
in soothingly shaded tones of  “mine”

Parenthesis

(Do not allow yourself to be parenthesized

The print of your baby finger spills over the edges

Of those brackets.

You should never be an afterthought,

A clause he can delete.


Your hands fill paragraphs

The life lines and love lines

Stitch together the pages of the book

That is your body.


The stu

           Stu

                Stutter trapped between your lips

When you try to say his name

Builds the steps

In the library that is your soul



The blush of your cheeks fills windows with light

And you should never let him tell you otherwise.)
