Short Broadly Poems

Haiku as an art:
To paint a canvas broadly,
With tiny brush strokes....

Blooming, the swift breeze 
Sunshine spews its grace broadly 
Growth, quite amazing...

Nights like this are made for us
Crescent moon smiles down; 
broadly
We walk along the river
Coke and a picnic basket
With two flashlights we begin
Gin rummy, we play all night...

Mother
No other could take your place.
As you smother us with love, even as adults,
We smile broadly, another beautiful memory made.
There will be no other like you; we are blessed....

Natasha, the Fearless



Media and masks made her fear,
Thus she instead chose to smile broadly each day.
Walks as God created her~one to pray.
Music and butterflies, and nary a tear!

I dig through sentiments
Carry myself broadly
Have wide eyes to change the world
My brown eyed girl

Blessing in disguise
With what love you surprise
At the site of origination
New Humanity dawning
Giving over to itself
What it needs
Unbounded...

I'll outstretch my wings to fly.
Lofty and up in the sky.
In the cool breeze of the dawn,
In the warm sun of the noon.
Broadly spread over the lands and seas,
Vividly covering the shrubs and trees,
And agog,the whole clan goes at my landing....

smile                                        
           sincere,  broadly.  
  beaming,  dimpling,   hoping        
  lover, friend,  partner, mate                       
 disrupting, doubting, realising
         hopeless, tearful
                  fears....

beauty, 
there is beauty
in the blue sky

beauty,
there is beauty
in the white or dark cloudy sky

beauty,
there is beauty
in the day and night sky

o it's the sky
if thy heart absorbs it broadly
then it would be beauty!

In glowing sun-baked mountain lakes and Sea
Shining Valleys stretch broadly and so free
She's like a fickle dresser
With many jewels that bless her
California glows with golden poppies

Clouds loll over,
snows cling fast,
and, as the world
tilts,
set to flowing - broadly
treacly; joining
capillaries to veins,
veins to the heart
of this good spinny 
Earth.

Clouds loll over,
and ever,
the Sun.

I seek my peak...
in the Valley 
below....

How i love you,
bright star.
(Smiling broadly
with eternal lips, alone in 
the moonless dark cloud)
(Full of splendour, though in 
a dark night)


Hanging alone without my 
moon in this dark cloud.
And the fair love, become a 
dark night.
Bright star, would i were 
joyous as you are....

Itchy Ring 

The isle-
you walked yourself  
Majestically, yes you did!

Smiled broadly
Veil-you removed
And declared¬----
 “She is all mine!” 

Today, 
“Pastor, it can’t work,
She is a wolf;
devouring me,
set me free!” 

“Son-
I saw it coming;
But I feared telling you the truth
Lest you, I lose.”...

troop!
the lieutenant screamed
inches from the face of Del
how do you expect
to make spec four
with a damn rolls royce
radiator cap in your locker

looking straight into the looey's face
returned I wouldn't give up
that radiator cap 
to make spec four
anytime, anywhere, anyplace
and smiled broadly,
Sir!!

(Yes, he did steal it one drunken night)...

Five of seven days I wake
When out of bed a smile I fake
Dressing quickly out the door
It's off to work, oh what a bore

Two of seven days I rise
Wiping the sleep out of my eyes
Smiling broadly at the sun
I get prepared to have some fun

Seven nights in in bed I lay
Dreaming of a better day
Til morning comes so soon and then
I'm up til night comes once again...

On my 100th birthday I will glad to see
A blow torch of candles so very hot it will be
And I can tout in such a sincerest way
I have no enemies on this special day

For they have all passed from this mortal coil
As the years go by I have outlasted them in this greatest toil
To now sit back and broadly smile so easily
You see having a great life is the best revenge you see.

Stare beyond her shoulder, long for more,
Capacity is reached, you pour more.

Hitchhiker smiles broadly, climbing in,
Seeking new horizons, it bore more.

Cross the bridge tomorrow, pull the blinds
Sewing up the lesion, it tore more.

Rubbing out the damn spot to conceal,
Sun succumbs to darkness, there’s four more.

Reflect on no return, feel time’s breath,
Transgressions stain your hands, but you’re more....

Each new day, each long night
I reach for you who gave me life. 
You search for you in me, as life has gone
My heart bleeds life into you
who gave and gave, now fading so fast    

In time undefined, conversation left stranded
we reach out, we let go, empty handed
cluelessly knowing.

you smile, laugh broadly
greet people in passing
no face needs a name
somethings don't ever change
hearts will always hang on...

All the little feathers in her wings
Stood firmly at attention
And as she stood tall
Her straightened back
Unfurled the last twisted barbs
She stood on her tip toes at the station
Waiting for the fog to clear
The air's stomach was full of rain
She stood tall and taut
Gazing out over the rails, the buildings, the parks, her empty home, the little dots of strangers, she saw broadly
Her lost love and past
And just flew above it all...

As the days turn to nights
The lights fade to shadows
So the truth changes
For those who think
About as broadly as
Fishing line of light gauges

As rain turns to snow
And water freezes solid
So convictions firm
For those who think
The other side of the coin is as faraway as
The next presidential term

As a roar is silenced
The microphones turned off
So the communal life drifts
For those who sink
Into loneliness as silent as
The reason for their philanthropic gifts...
