Potpourri Poems - Poems about Potpourri

In most of my verse, my simple aim is just sorta to enter tame. Then, once inside ~ go completely hog wild ~ showing no reserve, showing absolutely no shame. For example: "What do you think of my pup?", I asked a cop as he was writing me up. "Nice, from what I can see, but you shouldn't have let him pee, in this poor guy's...

Pointers.. All words appear As pointers.. Pointing to that Which is already The pointing... Colors Are infinitely varied They're seemingly What's happening... Travel Often undertaken to Find the new.. While the new Is what seems happening... It's language Which may seem To build the edges.. Nothing with Impossible edges.. Perspectives With no separation Are the magic Of the impossible... Stories which Are not empty Are believed apparently With desperation......

Nori Potpourri! Pooh brightens by her smile, All need Nori’s pearl white teeth, Eye twinkle, greeting dimple, An elegant yet humble style! A spiritual treat, More nutritious than food simple, Your smile is fuel for a mile! Warming hearts by friendly heat, Shelter great, more than a mere temple, Comforting Tom, Koneh & All as a tropic isle! Laugh lines tastier than meat, Brings joy ample, Free! in...

If the trees could bleed and the flowers cry out in pain, Death would neither rest in peace Nor life run helter-skelter. If the eye of the needle could see, The fabric of mankind wouldn’t be soiled and threadbare. If the wall could tell its tales the secrets of the past would unfold. When the beauty shuts her eyes in anguish, Pain becomes beautiful… A heart gets...

Gathering a huge bunch, of the most fragrant purple flowers, I made purple petal potpourri, creating joy to last for hours. I combined plum roses and lilacs, irises, lavender and others, Like the colorful birds of summer, looking for their lovers! Gay days were at last here, and I had found my great desire, To create the dark exotic scents,...

All ablaze those summer days, And such sweet scented flowers! Glorious gardens and sweet bouquets, Summer madness in fragrant bowers! Harvest the grapes and pour red wine; Whispers of soft, sweet memories... Burnished autumn days are so fine; Wild winds scatter love's debris. Before the sunrise, there was June, And heady, drunken August; Night birds sang to the moon, Wanton fields blossomed lust. This mellow season, blooms...

I was once vivacious. Now I walk with hunched back And downcast eyes. I was once outspoken. Now uncertainty glues my mouth shut. I was once a dancing daffodil. Now I drag my feet just to leave the house. Spring is leaving my eyes. The blossoms in my heart Are beginning to wither. I pick up the fallen petals To make a potpourri Out of my...

I’ve coveted riches not mine with the stealth of impropriety, and rejoiced in the righteousness of a random act of charity. I hide the stains of offenses which the Ganges cannot rinse, I’ve tasted the...

Potpourri By: Tom Wright 7/16/03 God gave me Passion of Heart when discovering first love, A prayer for Love and Peace as symbolized by His Dove. I have the Confidence of an Oak, deep rooted and unbending, I glimpsed the Joy of a Dragonfly ere midsummer's day ending. I've the Enthusiasm of a Butterfly, as it nectars a flower, and the Patience to...

Such fleeting smells As fragrance blooms, Cast lovely spells In airy room. Such is the way As scents now swirl, A fragrant say Of floral twirls. Such mellow mists As perfume dash, A sensuous gist Of sexy flash. Such poignant feel As flavours drift, Touch air that thrills In charming sniff. Such pleasures here Concoct fine poise, Beauty floods spheres In scented voice. Such myriad scope As perfumes touch, Sculpt happy hope To heal so much. Such lovely airs Bring...
