Short Accenting Poems

magnolia is ruffled, delicate, pretty like lace
her fuchsia petals and fragrance showing off
accenting her Georgia ladylike charm

knowing what a beauty she is...

The ghosts float within the sky
In the gates of the graveyard
Where rodents run by gravestones
Marking the deceased

Lightning flashes, accenting
The haunted house, gruesome sight
Where Jack-O-Lanterns reside
At the front entrance

This is the home of the witch
Where her spells are being shown
Under the full moon she’s evil
She grasps Halloween

Ground seepage
A small start mere drainage
Grows to a mighty river rushing
Flowing some three-hundred-fourty-four miles a rushing
From Atlanta to the Gulf beauty accenting
Through ragged Spewell Bluff it slithers
Filled with  fresh rain water
Flint River

Sundrops dapple umbrageous trees 
strewing uncut diamonds, littering the path
with ambient flickers of what lies beyond.

accenting the ripples that pattern the waves,
nuzzling playful kisses toward the warm beach.

Sundrops seduce the wayward wind
pirouetting with the aphids blissful dance,
a frenzied tarantella across my lips....

On a whim I once gave her one
Now I want it brought to a Halt
But she will not be undone

Sad eyes are giving me glances
I hurry to empty my drink
She prances off, with the bottle
Accenting her nails painted pink

She loves toys, sticks and leaves
Balloons and balls and much more
But, she'll leave them all behind
When a bottle's thrown on the floor!...
