Short Beamed Poems

Dull white clouds splashed the autumn sky –
But God beamed His brightest oaken smile!

the old lighthouse beamed
the moon flickered o'er the waves ~~
dolphins danced in mirth

You beamed in the darkness
I could see your smile
Like the stars in the sky
Bright-eyed baby
Leave your glittered soul
In my hands forever...

silent walls collapse
folding in sucked into the void
with no sound or light,
to show what once beamed bright there
leaving a black abstinence...

Tempted into wrong way,
Diverse team held sway,
Keen fan did sag,
Boys had lost the flag,
Old team won, glory beamed,
Traitor was back, it seemed!...

A young dead woman named Bloody Mary
for Halloween dressed as the good fairy.
At the mirror she beamed.
No one let out a scream.
BUT many still had dysentery!...

Be a cowboy, the TV once beamed at me
    Later on, a baseball or football star

  For a while, of 'He-Man' I was a devotee
    ~ Today, I resell Batman-type cars...

Looking about 
on a starry night 
An old man turned to his wife. . . 

"I see all the love we've shared 
somewhere -- 
beyond the moon in your eyes." 

She beamed....

Ilene took an hard look at Dennis
Whose shorts were designed to play tennis
Though he beamed with pride
His balls bounced outside
Perhaps he should try serving Guinness!...

I have a dream
  intoned Reverend King
So many folks then
  smiled and beamed

But things are no more
  what they once seemed
a color-blind society's
  no longer esteemed...

My friend's girlfriend danced on the table.
"Good legs" -I approvingly  told him.
- Do you really think so? - he beamed.
"Indeed, not every table is capable
To sustain such a weight."-
I assured my mate....

The floating satellite
Was sending pictures back,
We saw the worlds up close
And endless miles of black.

But then a massive craft
Appeared and beamed an arc.
Our satellite was hit
And everything went dark…

A father in his thirties
Snapped pictures
Of his tween daughter

“Shake your hair out”
And she swung it 
This way and that

“Beautiful”, he said
And she beamed
Flashing orthodontia

Tina was,
A tiny elf,
Like a doll,
On a shelf,

Her tiny hands,
Worked so fast,
She always had,
A Christmas blast,

Toys built up,
And filled the sleigh,
Tina beamed,
On Christmas day,

Her pointed shoes,
And hat did jingle,
She loved to work,
For old Chris cringle....

A brook trickled easily down
As poetry running unbound
And I stood on a rock
To hear the steady stream
Of foreign words gurgled.

A hazy shaft of light beamed down -
Laser-pointing through piney boughs -
And where it gently struck -
Columbine shined and teemed
The floor with emeralds....

I turn the lights a way down low;
pretend I hear the falling snow,
and in the flashing of a smile,
I wrap some presents for a while.
No child is in our home tonight.
The tree still glows with heavenly light,
as through the ages it has beamed
into mankind's Eternal Dream.

Reposed in shadows
within a realm of colors
dusty rose gown blurs.
All the flowers she adores ~
as gold love's beamed out of doors.


Green and purple blooms
are always in her warm face ~
'til she sinks in grace.
Exquisite pinks golds and blues 
fade out, as plum night ensues....

Sally's Halloween Dance

Sally a Halloween's the pumpkin patch
She plays the field, trick or treat for her match
Through the winding vines, she scored
A Jack-O-Lantern she stored
With her sweet find, Sally beamed at her snatch

One after another-
I fail to fast an egg for another-

one after another...

I ready reasons-
corroding all of the studded,

I claim to be beamed-
compounding my bummers,

shouting to withstand,

or reprimand my shudder,

ending in the rudder,

rotating a lover,

loading of the stowaways hover....

Her cute smile
Touched me deeply
So pure
We played eye tag
Her mother held her
Facing me
I beamed
The baby
Wide eye
And searching
Her new world
I wiggled my lips
The baby copied me
I
Left the diner charmed

National flag fluttered,
on the day of national honor,
leader beamed so did his cronies,
all other 'vegetable' that had gathered around,
had little spirit and sound,
whatever they made,
they made out of compulsion,
of one or the other kind,
strange nation appeared elated,
while nationals quite and thoroughly deflated....

I've got a sitter called Mub,

a boring hitter in a bum-

the crisscrossing of falling things evaporate with me,

as I'm seeing,

savoring moments of feelings becoming beamed,

but I get back after a whole thing,

sauntering-
and rock climbing-
and coarse rhyming,

blasting um' all off but still needing more timing....

Like a supernova colliding colors
A new dawn of the Northern Lights beamed,
and thawed the frozen iceburgs of my dreams

I'm on the bend of my full circle
Someday all that I have gone through,
will be as distant as the moon

My spirit will carry on in the breeze
That brushes across the mountain slope,
l will fly on the butterfly's wing of hope...

Where the gallows once stood 
and souls met their demise.

Where the gatherings scowled
and dead eyes met the ground.

Where the guilty paid homage
as corruptness prevailed.

Where divinity withered 
and turmoil was praised.

Where the merriment beamed
as they killed in his name.

A preacher now rants pon' 
these cold bricks of shame....

He beamed and glides 
across the board. His words
subtly form in heroic couplets.  

He spoke to a whisperer 
of love. And, she promised him
…he’ll not be torn apart.

The sound of poetry
serenading the stillness of night, where he
silently, reads the lips of the wind 

Rustling him, with 
sweet symphony, of her soul
…for his crimson heart, like mine!...
