Short Applauded Poems

she applauded life
with every tap of her cane
a tambourine star...

In the sensual dance of love,
   all modesty is invalid,
   every initiative applauded......

Mom slaved over cobbler pies
for a dinner-time surprise!
Applauded, she sighs......

The prudent would rather be reprimanded by the wise than to be applauded by a myriad fools!

She was a mean pushy broad
Who thought bullying was a reward
Until she met her match
When she was slapped then snatch
On-lookers then stood and applauded...

daily I went to  Roldan' bakery
task that I performed with mastery
 it rained the bag of bread  wet...
to solve  it  I doffed my shirt
   bread safe... was applauded for bravery...

I'm sure it's my imagination
 that absolute ludicrous, convoluted
 nonsensical, useless, illogical, even
 comically forced rhyme is applauded,
 lauded, praised and commended
 as splendid...

Whinny Winey on the track
The coluber bravoing at his back
The betor keen on his kale
Here goes the whistle
Spectators applauded Round the clock 
Whinny Winey to the finish line potted the betor's jack....

Everyone expects magic from you at last.
You say you can't do it.
Who will believe you?
They think the rod in your hand is enough.

Already living is a spell.
Show them how to live.
'until applauded'...

loudly applauded everyone at the sound of our names
high-pitch my talk for a silly sounding seriousness
performing so clutched down on heavy plunging drops 

late aged (bad), still recognizable ol' friend...

Joyful not jinx
Understanding not underestimating
Never give up never lay
Excellent you are suppose to be
Perfect you should claim
Arise you aim
Overwhelmed well applauded
Lots of praise
Oh! My good, child stand up and race!...

Believed a beautiful soul
Generous and nurturing heart;
Heavenly we met
Marriage
Tears of love laughter 
Earthly bliss we shared
Heaven applauded
No one cared

Married to only what’s on the page,
each word I wedded

The cheers and accolades silenced,
my vow applauded

Spoken or read each line was reborn,
within the covers

That blanket the fore and after of time
—betrothed to forever

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2019)...

walk to fame
singing my notes
as a virtuosic
applauded habitually

pitching new octaves
alto and tenor
our dulcet tunes
loudly echo

of seamless hearts
tickled to laughter
our guileless smile
wakes bliss

our empyrean dreams
hitherto slumbering still
to stay living
gains life...

ms dorothy was squatting at 17
We did not mind
We were doing our own squatting at 19

It was a good day to take up residence
We watched her move in
Glad she had found her own place

The drug dealers might scare her off later
But for right now, on this beautiful day
She had a place

We applauded her for it...

Multiply his guts by the power of four
Mathematically speaking…
He adds F for “Fun”
So I’ll give him a high score!
Hope he won’t subtract
He’s so perfect for me
Can divide all priorities
His passion of infinity.
He could dance with the numbers
But I don’t know how
The most applauded Mathlete.
Who everyone likes....

Focus means everything!!!


Effort.       Courage.


In times of our lives we strike out,


But it's a team sport.


Think about when you hit that home run!!

It really doesn't matter who was there and who was not.


Who applauded and who did not.


Moments are all we have...


Love and the fight for survival continues on.......

whatever you start, plan how it should end,
as you hit the road, look beyond each bend;

        great being applauded as the curtains open,
        greater being cheered for the role well taken;

                   less important is being praised at the start
                   than being missed when you finally depart!...

Long legged, refined;
               An explosive turn of foot
               Racing to survive.

               Winners applauded; 
               Losers are soon forgotten
               A bloody business. 

               The rejects die young;
               no mercy being shown, slain
               Such a tragic end...

Man learns from the past
Avoiding errors from the past
Man learns at the present
Skipping errors at the present
Man learns about the future
Preventing errors in the future
Life long learning
Is just a process
Gifted by the past
Possessed by the present
Blessed by the future
Applauded by the world
And thanked by all mankind...

Only an oblique ray of sun
Applauded my soliloquy.
It shattered a wired window
(In a last desperate attempt
     To stay above the night rim)
As my voice echoed
Around the walls and
A phantom crowd
Remained silent.

A joint account of love

You asked, we to open, my darling 

An idea, I certainly applauded 

With all my soul’s might  


But


To my dismay soon realized  

That the only one depositing was I 

While you, always amounts withdrew

Till all was gone, then you took a hike!

Peering over the meadows 
Clouds fluffed in appreciation
Enjoying verdant leaves of sacred tree

Peacefulness filling out all corners
Of blue sky 
White fluffs gentled into the day

Anticipating God’s brilliance
In creating the landscape
The elements applauded

Never having seen a prettier
day in the land of the
meadow creatures...

fire rages through woods
katniss injured, climbs tree top…
a plan to survive  

mutant killer wasp
tracker jackers’ nest above…
entertaining games

poisonous stings ooze
with green puss and intense pain…
triumph applauded

Hunger Games is not a movie yet but an extraordinary series of books.
I can’t wait to see the movie!...

The man in the moon met the children of the sun

The stars grouped together and twinkled as one

The planets applauded as a comet flashed by

An astral reunion that lit up the sky 

A nebula formed with hydrogen gases

Dancing neutrinos entertained the masses

The asteroids clashed when Venus came to call

A black hole appeared and enveloped them all...
