Short Balconies Poems

Theaters of trees 
Evenings balconies of birds
An hour early...

because it's springtime
         all pitchers and balconies
          revel  emotions...

Romeo was handsome and warm;
he often lured Juliet into his poetic realm...
he had a charming smile and vocal skills,
only climbed balconies with roses, not hills....

My dream futuristic city
My city in the heavenly tropics
My walled Indian city on Venus
My city with tropical flowers
Luxury condo buildings with white balconies....

Balconies 
are decorated
with daisies.

The perfumed 
geraniums
hang like plants.

Beautiful
are the gardens
above ground. 

They are seen
in New Orleans,
not elsewhere.

Penthouses 
Are not the retreat 
They are the meat
That sandwich the talent 
On balconies 
Away from the juice 
That produces 
Abuse and misuse 
Of time better spent 
With friends
And open ends
The bends hide
From the start...

Progress
By R.e. Taylor

Man has moved on
Progressed
Beauty no longer matters
Only function
Canyons of glass
With walls of stone
No more flowers
Or window boxes
No more balconies
Or cobblestone streets
No more places to walk
Or talk in peace
Has man really progressed
Or has he lost too much...

Washing spinning suds
Watching. Thinking on spring things
Carnations in strict 
Formation and blue roses
Poses on balconies.

With BLINDING beauty 
All are blooming and smell of
Fruity confessions
With their beauty fragrant
Fruity concessions they are

Doing their duty making
Life a lovelier WORLD...

Balconies

Where did the balconies go?
Lovers can no longer read sonnets from below
Romantics can’t climb the vines to kiss their true love
Couples need a new way to elope
Romeo cannot woo his fair Juliet
Love is truly lacking inspiration
Where did all the balconies go?
I do not know but in today’s world
We need just one
Built for romantics and lovers
And the idea of love...

Execute the space
 Dont let it go to waste
 Shake each clover leaf
 With satin hands, minds blend
 This is the grand chorus
 
Men have flown from pages to see
 The great unfurling of destiny
 Rocketed through endless chase of chance
 
We will make futures sparkle today
 Poised on lofty balconies, bring out
 Your kings and peasants to see
 What comes now
 When we blend our mercury...

The day broke muggy and gray
  Dewdrops sizzle on gooey asphalt
    and burn holes in parched lawns  

Outdoors discriminates not between
  craftsmen's rank sweat and 
    day laborer's grime

Apartment-dwellers' tongues hang
  over their balconies, enervated
    gasping for droplets of air

Hell hath no Furnace like a city
  at the mercy of a heat wave
    without a Fire Escape...

Should doors close, you'll find me awaiting 
Harking to aeolian whispers,
Watching the windows for your return,
Sitting in crepuscular stillness,
Should doors close, balconies will open,
Creating new possibilities
Of our passionate love reunion,
Look for marked jalousies, should doors close.

Sunday Morning 

Puddles on cobblestones
 Had a film of spent 
rainbows,
 clouds rested on rooftops
 and tear streaked windows misted; 
dejected curs  
sniffed the air as a damp army 
of washing hung limply on balconies. 
Church bells peeled  
the faithful prepared for mass, 
unseen and 
under arches the tormented
 waited for the bar 
to open and release them 
from the agony of 
their lonely inferno....

The island is very small
With a small mountain
And a small lake
Some small towns 
With small stores
Little houses with tiny balconies 
And miniature beaches
Where winter and summer are blended 
Exchanging their days and nights
Like the play of waves
You can ramble on it all in half a day
Only the setting sun is big
Like a giant bronze rooster
It doesn't want to leave 
Even for a night
This island of only two postmen...

Been landscaping crew cuts
Mowing down yards constant
Gravel in its place, hedges and drapes
All for you to live accordingly
In the right scheme
Where wildness is tamed down
Where citizenship, not so profound

So we can go on our way
Planting seeds for the future
Seeding children with identity
Posing God on marble balconies

Any upset to the balance
Police find the scent
Guard dogs and lawn gnomes
Our plastic surreal american lives...

Nestled in the valley
with spring water fountains
a view of the mountains
San Sossio quaint and vibrant

Stucco colored houses
red roof tiled
on balconies pots in flower
graceful swallows in flight

My home on the ascent 
at the edge of town serene
from fountain fetched the water 
with neighbors bartered needs

Sparks of distant  stars
memories of smiles and songs
history to repeat is known
village life will return...

So quaint the papa
Of the church original 
So loose, the benedictions
From balconies fall.

Hours or minutes
Or seconds or days
End times, ne'er 
So obviously near.

Reguild the lillies
On the Crest of kings,
Approach thou legends 
Within reach of the demons.

So delicate the orator
Of foundation,  lays
Till wisps of sin
Engulf our plane.

Friend or few
Foe or many
On that night we forgot, 
The Saviour descends....

I always expect to hear singing from the balconies
there is only the chatter of other enthusiastic diners
in the thin alley where we consume outside in summer
Scars, my favorite restaurant with a welcoming owner

we are greeted with plates of warm steaming appetizers
crisp table cloths are white linen, the silverware heavy
It is not inexpensive, but we would gladly pay more
for the ambiance, delicious food and this gorgeous alley....

Israel's Festival of Tabernacles is here
   Designed to bring cheer
      It's the happiest time of the year

Crops are harvested from far and near
   Extensive preparations made, quite dear
      On balconies, in courtyards, flimsy huts appear

Jews share their largesse with all who draw near
   Eat and sleep outside, except in weather severe
      Rejoice together, proclaiming this message clear

    ~ With thanks for our bounty, the Lord we revere...
