Short Announcements Poems

Chris Christie
a delusional passage to glory that's missed he
back, back to the Bridge
awaiting announcements, go cosset the fridge....

Angels express good tidings
Of great joy throughout Heaven
When one soul is born again
Because God has a new child;
A new name is written down
In the Lamb's Book of Life....

In the corner the voicebox of God
lies silent except at 10:10 every morning
the pledge, the announcements, the moment
of silence, now his muted mouth
frowning silent disapproval.
What does He know of mortal strife?...

Good and evil 

Old friend of mine your present again 
Mirror of my prime

Ever present your whispers are louder 
Friend and foe of mine

Red and white on shoulders they stand
Bells in hand do chime

Outlined shadow of moonlit announcements
Bends the clock of time...

Loud announcements on my radio and megaphone
Heard all over the  school ground and parking zone-
It’s raining prof drivers, take extra precautions,
Drive slowly on your route, looking in all directions!
On the left are walkers and bikers on the right
Go straight, let your attendants help kids to alight!...

The sea sings ancient songs
with its commuting waves,
and wet my body and soul...
I feel my wounds heal...
Outside the wind waits for me
with its recent announcements...
Everything informs me while
dry the excess
  of salt water from the sea...
Soft strokes my thoughts
that succeed to accomplish
my expectations... !...

Exquisite spring softness floating in casually
Delighting the meadow with her yearly dance
Ruby red dahlia and cheerful neon pink geranium
Urging their prime buds toward the surface,

Frothy green lamb’s ear, showing her face
Birdsong announcements, as spring shows herself
Softly at first, gentling in a soft, fanciful way.
By the middle of May, in generous full glory....

Oh, how I remember the old snail mail
Reading in the microscopic detail
From the one rightful owner of the tale
Now,instant messaging, the holy grail
Spreads half cooked word instantly without fail
Distorting it immensely in its trail
Announcements and news burst in with the gale
I prefer authentic, even if stale

My Pilsbury baker.
Bold rumpshaker.
Peppermint fizz. You tell it like it is.
Confronting people hiding who owes you money.
Knocking on doors at 2 A.M. That's your biz.
Blurting out shocking announcements like an unexpecting quiz.
Your whole entire being from head to toe is soft.
And your innocent sweetness instantly melts everyone's heart.
We love you Gatopap, our big yellow marshmallow....

Leaves morphed in color
Blazing pigments are warnings
Like those set upon exotic creatures
Though the caution be different
Not of poison but of chill
They are like flyers, posting announcements
Of the coming event across the forest
And then they fall
Like sheaves of paper to heap and clutter the ground
Proclamations brown and withered
 Soon covered in drifts of death matter
And lost eternal...

Within today's giftee's coup d'etat
Gratitude receives no big hurrah.
      A gift was expected
      gift cards are accepted
But thank yous are not a rule of law.

Announcements/invitations - aides memoire.
Sending thank yous will define who you are;
       when "re-cog" breaks through
       it's not ALL about you.
Appreciation makes the giver a star.

 "Re-cog" - recognition

   Five-and-Ten, a ‘Mom-and-Pop’
      just down the road
   Ye olde-fashioned ice cream shoppe

   Round the corner a little bit
      an old barber’s pole
   Enjoy the flavor of candy-cane wit

   Near the station, a musty news-stand
      superman comics, Cuban cigars
   Circus announcements, strike up the band

   All these things: Why, they still exist!
      ~ etched in memories of indelible mist

Missed my submission of poem in the first PS anthology
I think I was travelling that time or in a very long journey
Second submission, I think I’ve missed because I was so busy
Perhaps focused on my school work, no one had pinched me
Third submission, now announcements around I see
But which of my poems is/are worth for publication, can you tell me 
I think I need an editor, can you help me my dear mentors of poetry?

Donald Duck Trump
An Oompa Loompa grump
Quacking his tweets as brilliance 
"But my I.Q. is one of the highest “is just one of his announcements

a chill breeze
whispers of winter
a squirrel’s tale

a cool fog hovers
a snake lays motionless
awaiting the sun

a bell rings
yellow crusted kid pods
heed its call

September roses
blush at Winter’s entrance
a soft kiss goodbye

the Maple shivers
as a frost stings her fingers
spring sap withdrawn

a fading sun sighs
as Druids watch the shadows
the seasons unfold
((old stories retold))

Silkworms
knitting turtle necks
for earth worms
