Her life was on ice



she wore purple silk
accented black earrings and chain
ship of gold mothballed

Drink a little wine
Make merry 
Dinner wrappings
Accented with favorite 
Napkins
Flute glasses
Topics 
True matter
Knife and fork 
Juster
Thanks for the invite
Excepted with Lavender...

Art deco dictates a strong womanly arrogance 
Her orange hair accented her headdress true
I saw her in a vision dream, of course only once
She parades herself in a painting, looking haughty and new....

Loading my car
trying to hide my covert examination
Fine features accented by heavy white brows and lashes 
Colorless, shining hair 
Such a strange and elegant beauty
What is it like to be so different
Yet so lovely?...

I am not one of you.
You dance, careless in your shriveled affairs.
Pride lost its purpose.
What did you care?
Danger is a pastel moment,
Only lived through the eyes of children.
Accented by rules
Meant to be broken....

Morose, mellow, and mysterious, my mind has made
An alliteration accented around random assets
Of ranting, riveting raves renewed
To try and tackle tiring thoughts 
Whilst wanting with wonder to withhold worn-out wittiness
Which can kind of, if continued, come out quite corny...

Looking back as she brushed by 
Pure, perfection, breathless beauty
Head to toe, softest hello I’d ever heard
Impeccably dressed, jeweled accented class
God,.. could only put her together like that,
Like seeing a rainbow, such promise 
Makes me smile…the start of a lucky day....

worn glossy finish
corners and edges scathed and torn
layers of dust collected from the years
keys played down and worn
faint scent of old cigars
accented with a hint of alcohol
a beautiful melody slightly off tune
vocal chords of an angel
melodies unmatched even through the ages...

Husband and Wife

Heated
Uncontrollable 
Sensation 
Bursting
Abrupt overly 
Nudity highlighted
Distinctively breasted,

Accented atom's
Nature's beauty
Deliciously delighted In A

Whine  (Dance)
Intensely, seductively to 
For tae it's
Eternal light, of happiness, as 
one...

Shes the song thats constantly written
then revised in my head.
Only then is she able to come alive and be herself.
Accented in beautiful curve.
Revised in the moments shared in thought.
The slightest touch ; her voice truly heard.
Perfectly arranged in broken prose to unseen eyes.
Beautifully composed; the way that she gives.
Finding purpose.
Constantly singing in my head...

Hillel the Sage was destitute
Although his mind was sharp, astute
Chopped wood to earn his daily bread
Then studied 'til he went to bed
The Golden Rule Hillel devised
Be kind to others; That is wise...
Treat everyone exactly as
  ~ You'd want them to treat you



       Iambic Tetrameter



Note: The name, "Hillel,' is accented 
on the second syllable in correct Hebrew...

The meadow has come alive in vibrant hues
Lavender is blooming, accented with yarrow
And small ground flowers are showing blues
The meadow has come alive in vibrant hues
Columbine and alyssum are taking their cues
From insistent chirping of a chipping sparrow
The meadow has come alive in vibrant hues
Lavender is blooming, accented with yarrow.

The colors retreat with the setting sun
Telling me my time has just begun
Its time to come on out
And show the world i'm still about

I shake my smoky coat
And feel my stress
Just melt away
Like summer did the snow white frost

I look above and see the moon
Its silver lining against the dark sky
Accented by flecks of stars
And the colors dancing throughout the night

An instinct
As i let out a howl
 Signaling my season
To find a mate...

Magnolia blossoms creamy white dappled with gray
Sway the day from foggy veil sprinkled across way

The contrast creamy white against waxy green leaves
Adds beauty brightening life upon summer's humid eve 

Unfinished and may never be finished...

Trying to do Hexameter: 
Twelve syllables per line with it reading unstressed/ stressed...
Very difficult to have to look up every word since I would not pronounce these 
words like they are suppose to be accented.....

Pause for a moment for soft
breathed hopes,an interlude 
of words in embryo,a covering
now revealed ,an insight into
the rhythm of life.
This insight ,this impression echos 
of imagination,perhaps a literary
treasure,contemporary,accented
in verse,sounds with silences
voiced aloud.I leave now in your ear.

hear me recite my PS anthology on youtube under my pen name ichthyschiro..

catch my short forms @strandpoet on twitter...

They never knew
It looked truely
Wonderful, sorta shy
Of spectacular!

They used rubber molds
to create the pillars and walls
to cover the
Shipping container
Each edge contacted.

The windows and doors
we're opened, and surrounded
the smooth walls made
The front looklike a magnificent
Price of art.

It was art, beautiful and bold.
Artwork which a craftmen touch.
It didn't conceal, it only accented.
It was perfection. Made affordable
by the concerns of caring people....
