Renaissance Poems

On Greek Stage Renaissance

 
 
What do I wish for my wild heart?
In this trail is the finest art.
That is why I am almost there
With Lydian lyre and lore, or more
Cher sings her effectuated soul,
Discerning hearts excite the whole.

In Commissioning Frescoes for His Library, a Renaissance Churchman Drives a Hard Bargain

The Cardinal requires Ser Bernardino, 
as high contracting party to the tasks, 
to paint ten histories in damasceno, 
in gold, vermilion: also asks 

that other pleasing colours be employed, 
the whole to be so handsome, beautiful 
and lively, as will fill the present void 
with fantasies. He should be dutiful 

and diligent, and supervise the

He was a servant's son, young and proud

But expressed his opinions out loud

By the will of the King

He braved the guillotine 

So now he heads off into the crowd

And yet I did not ask for it

Premium MemberRenaissance Architecture

I've done bad, I'm full of guilt.
I deserve punishment to the hilt. 
You've every reason - sure, you've got 'em.
So, whack me soundly on my bottom,
but please, oh please, don't give me a lecture
on Renaissance architecture.

Rainy Renaissance

I go to the fair 
and I see many crafts
My brother didn't really care
It started to rain I thought we needed rafts

Then came the thunder 
And the women in dresses
started to shudder 
everyone (finally) restless 

(Well everyone but me)
I take off my shoes
All the women procrastinating
And I played in the puddles like I had nothing

His affections past and present left such an impression.
After the first fated losses, I knew I needed him again.
I reached out to him so our renaissance can help me carry on.

How did we get here you ask, well...
Daddy used to preach look both ways before you cross the street 
Because history is known to spend the block
And after I watched Jerome get shot in the daytime while kids were playing, Mrs. Johnson was gardening, and my two friends were sitting with me yelling to the

Renaissance


Metro Cardigan
with a slim fit.

Be in your thinking mature.
Hero of the day.
Atlantic Starr

Moving steadily besides the still waters.
May goodness follow me.
Ensemble Cymbalta.

Skyscrapers on top of cloud atlas,
Vanilla sky fools delight of a purple sky.
Rotating around the earth's axis.
Now let's end it on a good good note.

Temperate challenges core valued
Sparks flames of light
Brightly springs forth sunbeams de blooms
Raging sparks of light surface sparks spikes
Of brilliant shines so, renaissance
Heart harden is set like stone
Amongst the diamonds alone

Premium MemberRenaissance Fair Turkey Legs

Kansas City’s Renaissance Fair is fun; you can dress steampunk
Go as Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, or a Victorian Queen.
You can be a knight of the Round Table or King Arthur
It is embraced by several factions of people in Kansas City
Each year it gets bigger and more outrageously fun than the year before
The only thing

Tender are the hearts that flows 
beating vibrantly the love that flows 
through the Soul's 
heart resonates mirror images
 seen through the eyes the glass is clear
 to see inside the soul so in everyday and in every way
 I have substance to say, as I pray
 I relinquish myself and embrace the blessings
