Lilac bush came to life today
It’s nowhere near the month of May
Delicate buds a passion play
Perfect purple on this fair
Succulent fragrance from the fey
Wafting from this merry nosegay
April dance a pretty sashay
Coaxing summer along the way

Lusciously liquid
your gaze lights on me,
warming my skin where
eyes longingly trace
contours of a smile.
Tantalizing
your scent coaxes
me to draw in
essence of you.
Your smile pulls
On my heart-
Connections.
Your words
Make me
Crave.

playful orange and brown autumn leaves
singing and dazzling in your fall melody
honoring October in an enormous tribute
raining yourself onto a calendar
that coaxes cooler and more sedate November
exuberant joy as my granddaughter
discovers your love for the first time

Prose Poetry
I use a tv set as if it were a radio
listening while I do other things
my childhood through the sixties trained me well
while I listen to my dramas, I play word games
write poetry, draw pictures and cartoons and paint
when I do look up, the drone of the tv coaxes me into a nap
I love listening to a tv
it is almost as great as listening to a radio

she wears feathers better than a peacock
More of them than a revered Apache chief
Feeling their strength, understanding they have flown
Their ancestry coaxes her to shine her light
She parades their beauty down the catwalk
Showing them off, as they show her off.
Other models gawk, appreciating her designs
Where everything is moving and fluttering

Blank verse
He whispers at winds whistling shrill,
coaxes, begs them to lift higher still
above the clouds that fragile friend,
a jewel floating at the end
of his sky-string, swimming it seems,
across drowsy ripples of his dreams;
it shimmers, fades into thinnest air,
melts away out of sight, but still there,
and, for these earth-bound, bleary eyes,
the kite, a key to door-less skies !

Rhyme
Autumn leaves drift slowly
Interacting with breeze
That caresses and coaxes down
To land upon soft knees
Where they decompose so
Early spring plants can grow
Up and greet baby deer and birds
Gives life, happiness though
(This is a form of Poulter's measure. It is 6,6,8,6 with second and fourth rhyming. When you
add the first two lines equal 12 and the last two lines added equal 14.)

Nothing seems as ugly as the life itself
running through the denizens of meager coves
This life is dull, futile and colorless
withered and delusive to the time it ends
And they say this life is easy
Coaxes and hoaxes; this life of yours
Life seems to have given you a sense of urgency
and you say this life is easy
Nothing is more melodramatic than this
nothing, almost nothing
But still we live to say life isn't easy, is it?

Belligerent bulldog blows up balloons, bulbous and blue.
Frantic frenzied flamingo flips for a flute and a flu.
Persnickety porcupine prances perilous with pooh,
Concerned calico cat coaxes a cardinal’s carnival coo.
Daredevil dolphin diligently designs dalmatian dog’s hairdo.
Serendipitous skunk sashays toward sticky sweet stew.
Lavishly laborious lion lunges into little linguistic loo.
Youngish yak yells and yips at yellow bellied you.

Monorhyme
canopies flutter,
bamboo grove sways,
fronds of coconut palms wave,
sunlight falls obliquely upon me
on the trail that winds and tapers
through a dense undergrowth,
to a clearing yonder, I seek
my gurgling, gleeful creek!
easterly breeze sings,
coaxes the leaves overhead
to hum like a strange strumming
of a dozen bass guitars;
a tiny blur darts upward
and whirls behind a branch,
there it blinks down at me
--that green lizard I see!

Tail-rhyme
City life is blinding me,
Loud and clamoring it demands
Coaxes me out of my hands
Makes it so i cant see.
Theres too many trees,
All swaying with their own melodies
Some mirror my pleas
Others crack until i cease
To use their glass as mirrors
Used to view my own innards
Their furniture is arranged differently
Something i could never be.
Solitude is blinding me,
Its broken and rusted though
The walls of a house I once grew
A lone hut next to a tree.

Rhyme
Over trite words, wind resounds song of stars
to soothe ‘neath a diamond-encrusted sky.
When dawn’s pastel sun shines down from afar,
We’ll remember our twinkling lullaby.
Eve’s cradle song transcends sun’s birthing cries.
A newborn horizon filters fresh light.
Morn breaks too soon, solar display’s contrite.
As sun of broad blues coaxes us out, lest
we retreat in night; our souls to recite
wondrous chorus of glory through darkness.

Against the sullen clouds gleams the stardust
Enduring the fierce wind sways a lean tree robust
Ambushing underneath, a tiny seed lurks
Piercing the tough earth, she silently smirks
In the mid of thorny shrubs, a bird builds nest
Emerged from the eggs are bulbuls with crest
Plummeting from the mountains, the falls flow
Across the villages and towns make farming grow
Endurance & persistence, the successful life's syntax
And gain after pain the lesson that nature coaxes

THE FORTUNE SEEKER
The parrot peeps through the tiny window
The fortune teller coaxes it to take a bow
Expecting keenly the parrot from the cage
to come out and gently pick a page
to tell his future; the young man wants to know
Looking at the ceiling, he recalls his past
Confined to bed, the old man looks lost
His near and dear ones desert him
like passing clouds; pastures not green as it seem
With blessings for all, he waits to breathe his last

Limerick
I used to make up excuses
I would have a funeral, a wedding, a cruise, something
Whenever I did not want to do something
I would get coaxed and cajoled, and sometimes would give in
Despising my inability to say no to these interlopers
Wishing I was brave enough to tell them the truth
I have either gotten senile or wiser with my new age
Not sure which
But now I have one answer
And it works
And no one coaxes me or cajoles me
I say “I don’t want to”
It is the perfect reply
