Trying to be serious

The Carpenter Bee
Bores blithely and busily
Wood dust discovered...

The wolf comes,
Slinking to your door,
Un-noticed.

Continue,
Blithely go your way, eyes closed.
Oblivious fool....

No tanka author
Grips the reigns of emotions
Like Takuboku
I, my face so streaked with tears,
blithely read about his crabs...

Hammering away happily
whistling,to himself blithely
his hammer slipped
his nail blackened
the expletives came quickly


ty Rick for the last line...

My dark fantasies are growing bleaker,
Blithely flogging this attention seeker,
Why am I so pissed?
This bore must insist,
To take all his phone calls on speaker....

Sweet little butterfly,
Blithely gone by,
I blow out a kiss for you,
Following nigh.

Oh catch, if you can,
This soul of a man,
To love and to keep it,
And fly, fly, fly....

the half moon, content
with itself...though incomplete
it grins, nonetheless

high up in the cold
starless, pitch-black firmament
yet blithely smiling

It seems the old man in the moon looks down
On spooks and things that fly through the night
They blithely pass across his golden sphere
Giving those Halloween lovers a ghostly fright..

On
lucent
gossamer
wings fulgent in
my precious garden
nymphs spin golden trumpets
welcoming spring. Gentian bells
sway blithely beneath  jubilant
incantations arousing cupids
ardent desire blossoming cherry pink....

Tinkering over the pebbles
flowing freely onwards
smoothly
leaving in its wake soft ripples
as it travels homewards
blithely.

Tom
Never looks calm
Moves with prance
Scheming for a chance

Jerry
Always spunky and merry
Acts wisely
Overcomes hurdles blithely

Another shadorma just for fun but heed the hidden warning anyway.
For he who has an ear....

Sipping slowly
Fast broken
Reading into
Words unspoken

Sailing into neaps and swollen
Tides of ethereal friendship
Kindled kindred souls 
sailing unseen waters
Blithely sharing
miles apart
Viewpoints of
heart
 
As daydreams 
of wet canvas
stroke cheeks
of Mersey fog
in salty
dirty brown...

Gramps' backyard teems with spiced herbs,
Peaches for offspring's  dining,
With youngsters piping chorales.

A garden fount stands blithely
Misting potent soil of lawn-
Where lights bathe nature's display 

To honor Gram's memory.

Is there something about grass 
Close-clipped
On lawns and playing fields
That’s blithely overlooked?

Its qualities seem simply put:
Offsetting herbaceous borders 
And yielding underfoot.

Or is every blade like everyone 
Quite different from up-close
Unique and undervalued 
Unsung and lachrymose?

Blinking and breathing in secretive silence
Fending off feelings of misapprehension
Trying to function in passive compliance
Ignoring repeatedly twisting of tension
Sitting in darkness with nothing to mention
Blinking ’s a sound of sightless defiance
Waiting for light to blithely appear
Knowing that reason can  deal with the fear...

Dismay that I am so blithely uncouth
As to bluntly say what is on my mind,
So, I shall blame the stale vermouth.
Dismay that I am so bitterly uncouth
To go through life with this sad truth,
It is necessary, I admit, for me to find
Dismay that I am so blithely uncouth,
As to bluntly say what is on my mind.

After summer spruces up in full array
When peonies have graced the graves
At end of May, I shall go far, far away
After summer spruces up in full array
Where some folks, who know, blithely say
‘Tis Beulah Land the righteous soul craves
After summer spruces up in full array
When peonies have graced the graves.

Sometimes I
want to yell "I don't care"
in my mom's face.

When she blithely tries
to measure my sad prison
world to her own youth.

That prehistoric
reality, of phonebooths and
whatever, back then.

But I know those
words would freeze in the air
like a neon sign.

And very probably be
etched on my tombstone
as an epitaph....

I'm going on a cyberfast
some folks doubt, say it won't last
"What will you do, instead?" they ask
I'll lock the screen and blithely cast
the whole thing out, I'll have a blast
I'll read, I'll write, I'll live and bask
in warm sunlight, in nature's vast
delights, and daydream of the past
cuz' I'm the quintessential iconoclast.

With a balmy wind
nature sings its symphony~
as leaves dance above
Life's cycle will trounce autumn
saffron hemming without dread

Notice twigs slight fall
autumn's mind-astounding grace~
embrace spell lyric
as nature's croon blithely spread
trees sway in hone symphony...

A friend I thought I had
When you came in smiling gaze
Stranded here I stand
Trapped in a lonely maze

A deluge in my oblivion 
Of subtle slander I miss 
And your words roll so blithely
With a sting of a Judas' kiss

I sit on the edges of morrow
And find that to me you died
But your deeds I labor to forgive
Before Hades finds out you lied 

For pain when nursed is misery
And pain set loose births harmony...

I have imagined an encounter
with an Angel

Most likely, it will be
on some opalescent morn
when the lumbering gait of clouds
meets the raphsody of dawn with
ribbons of light

Where I, in some perennial field,
in sadness wait-

With a message aureate,
she will step blithely, and
O the sight of wings will scintillate
to coax from me, a new belief

There is more to life and dreams
than what seems transient.
