Short Avidly Poems

Slippery, sneaky, sickening

Narrow eyes, nasty bite

Avidly avoiding

Killer instinct

Eager to Leave...

Dreams await behind closed eyes
I seek avidly their lies

For when it is that I am wake
In lifes reality I quake...

Season’s sweat sets steadily on the streets
Flowers’ flags float faintly on the floor
Autumn’s aura awash avidly on the acacia...

Vainly searching who to be
Avidly yearning for more in me
Narcissistic jubilee 
Isolated tendencies
Trifle bouts of insecurities
Yawning at the piercing pleas

Have you seen my arrogant cow? The farmer asked me.
I am not sure, I told him. I have seen at least twenty-three.
She is the one wearing curlers, as prissy as a cow can be.
I had not seen her, but now I was searching avidly....

Limerick : Once a Banker from starving Wall Street

Once a Banker from starving Wall Street
Craved for a mountain of juicy meat
So he hired King Kong
To play U. N. Ding-Dong
Now the World avidly kiss his feet.

Alluringly avidly acutely animated
Blossoming beautifully barely belated
Cavorting colliding consciously collaborating
Desperately dreaming delicious delirium
Exhilirating enchanting enthusing enjoyment
Fascinating fantastic fabulous flair...

She sleeps like a bear
in her deeply sonorous dreams.

She is not dainty,
she’s too sturdily anchored
into an earthy nature.
Her name Cynthia.

When Cynthia sleeps,
she plays with the small skulls
of squirrels, and mice,
while avidly reading
her teen magazines....

MAD TIMES

The season of hope and growth
Following those cold empty days
Dark ribbed ploughed fields wait 
As new life sniffs the warmer air
Bursting forth, as if all new ideas
In shades of lime, olive and sage
Avidly searching to see the sun
Soon to realise their new vision...

When we wake at dawn
Languidly and Longingly

When we part for a time
Avidly and Ardently

When we make love
Passionately and Powerfully

When we fight and Make-up
Vehemently and Vigorously

When we lay in the dark
Sedately and Serenely

We move through the day
To come alive
When our lips touch...

Faith of a Chance



the night is upon us and we

know not the names of those



whom closely follow our outing

or why they joyfully take no heed,



instead lust is on their dark lips

and we evade away so avidly...



but can we escape

with little to no faith

Deployed upon my desk
It's finite with infinite reach
Close, yes, not closed
That knowledge it bears to teach
Instead that I might learn, even now,
Old man that I am
Never stray far from me, wisdom
Avidly I search it's pages, for,
Revealed within pages frail,
Yearning, every entry, each to tell its tale....

In the flickering light of the lamp,
Despite the chilly night, air so damp,
She surveyed books so avidly read,
Studied the guidelines now in her head.
Time came: she departed for the war,
Sure she'd care for all those wounded sore.
Many followed as she left her stamp,
At night she'd be the lady with the lamp....

April
awesome arrival
await always avidly
as augurs amour

 
Betrothed
besotted belle beau
both blossom beautifully
beget baby boy

 
Cherish
crickets chirp constant
cockerel clarion call
can calm crying child

Cloudy sky hovers with thick humidity
Finches and jays are seeking a haven
Against the summer weather’s perfidy
Seems the sun threatens ever fervidly
While the small critters scrounge avidly
Heat provoking them to be more craven
A cloudy sky hovers over thick humidity
Finches and jays are seeking a haven.

a fresh thirst quencher
sliced watermelon in red
alluring beauty

mulberry picking
romantic stolen kisses
dark purple dyed lips

crushed grape juice slithers
into her desirous mouth
she feasts avidly

overflowing bowl
red strawberries and ice-cream
summer temptation

My friend came in wearing the oddest expression.
I thought someone had died, my first impression.
She has a new job, pays as much as she makes here.
Will get more appreciation, that is abundantly clear.

I did not understand the tears, in no way did see….
“I will miss you, “she said. “You always avidly support me.”
Surely there are other people in her life who lift her up!
We will be friends forever, I tell her. I am your pup!...

He really should use
a ballpoint pen
ink blots are hard to remove,
and they can mask our reality.
The blots form mysteriously
shaped smears and smudges
that conceal rather than reveal.

We who avidly read His works
are apt to badly misinterpret.
He should have learned to type,
or at least used a computer,
but no

and now all we have are
these mysterious word-puzzles
many of which
are half-hidden between
speculation and conjecture....

Why are the humans like that?
Filled with wile and treachery,
Using others as doormat,
Wittingly.
Can't they be simple?
Pristine,
As ripples,
As machine,
Who can't lie.

Why humans are such quintessence ,
Of sham drudgery?
Climbed on the fence,
Avidly.
Can't they just be good?
No hate, no tricks,
Just love throughout.
No cynicism,no narcissism,
everyone equal around.

I wonder ,
How good the earth
Could have been.
If it was shaped on 
Anvil of love and peace....
