Short Daringly Poems

Deeply, dangerously, 
daringly, darkly
defiantly, deadly
deftly, dumbly

disgustingly dis-guarded

Life is a balancing game.
At times through dilapidated bridge,
With shattered rails and planks,
We have to daringly pass,
To reach our desired destination.

ice

Arctic
conditions
Chicago blizzard
cheeks hardened by sheer cold of it
her hot pink coat warms up winter’s view delectably
Enticing crazies sneaky-peek-viewing her daringly underneath prying wives eyes...

                     daringly doting 
             dumbfoundedly depicted 
                   disquisitive dress

Ronald Reagan in his prime
Was a foodie, way ahead of his time
   Though others thought it 'kvetch-able'
   He daringly labeled ketchup, on meat, a vegetable!

Through tomes of strange mythology
   Floats music sweetened by the gods;
And secrets wrapped in mystery
   Dance daringly where knowledge nods.

My very soul I'd gladly sell
   (Were there a devil in a hell)
To learn the truths within that tune --
   But tiny wings can't touch the moon....

Casual cabbie cannot conjure classic cucumber coats
Dapper daughter Denise daringly delivers dozen antidotes
Energetic expert eagerly eulogizes and enthusiastically emotes
Friendly fiancé Frankie finds fabulous frozen frolicking floats
Gorgeous grandson Greg grabs giant generous geriatric goats...

This thinning pen lays
on a shed of damp grasses,
where there are no flowers
to daringly explore---
A gasping star wanes
into the ash of light;
emptiness becomes its only environ
neutral as the dunked rays 
greying the skyline.
Dreary as a poet's last whimper,
unfinished phrases gather to rest
anticipating the wake of morn's petals....

Why do people daringly walk the path of destruction?
They see pleanty get devour on that path,
Yet those individuals obey folly's instruction.
Do they gave thought to the aftermath?
I think they need a genuine eye bath.
These people are warned on time to reverse.
Cause, when Grimm Reaper arrive to ravage souls, will he converse?...

In the billow of mercurial cataclysms
Sharp as the pyrexia of igneous pebble stones
Upon my hindquarters I was cast
The circles that were established
Branded my skin with cancerous nightmares
Crafting the twisted love song ****ing my throat
Through the lavender haze I tread
Threatened by a medley of conundrums
The tongue legislating such echoes
‘tis the element I so daringly seek...

There are always a few
Troublesome “tickl-ings “
Daringly darting
In somnambulant slumber
Shape shifting shadows
Mocking the moonlight
Creeping through the crevasses
Of literary limitation
Weeping with the whispering words
Subtlety suppressed by silence
Like mice they meander the mind
Seeking sustenance and satiation
Borrowed brown shoes
Dancing in a dusty darkness

Hummingbird, daintily
darting so merrily, looking for soda pop,
without the

slightest of care!
To the next shop, sugary stop
down there!

That one?
Daringly drop!
Fun!

Hummingbird, daintily
to the next shop! Sugary stop
fun!

How the shadows fall back bowing;
prostrating themselves 
before the noon day sun.
Genuflecting as their wooden, vegetative father’s can not.
Performing dance movements of mimicry
the boughs above initiate.

How the shadows fall daringly, dauntless;
dissecting the bleached winter grass,
making perplexing puzzles of mossy patches
creating mystical arteries upon 
the breast of Mother Earth....

She will never no, that I love her
because I'm afraid to tell her, she'll might say no

and reject me so
this is why I refuse to tell her so

That I love her so
I pray for her often

often I pray for her
this I do daringly

and I relish in the future day that 
she might would just sparingly relish me

In awe just but why because I love her so

“What is there to say? They are my friends. I would do it again, over and over — for I hate cruelty and intolerance.”    Oskar Schlinder

LOST IN A SEA OF WAR

daringly intrepid,
dazzlingly, dizzily
protecting the poor,
the unarmed, the kids,
those lost in a sea
of war — Schindler
and his musical score,
outscoring the hate
that seemingly won’t abate
but for God steps into
the shoes of man

All Alice wanted
Was to retrieve 
The slipper of glass
Birth a beautiful boy
Cry carefree, caring incautiously 
Do dangerous things, drive daringly
Endure every broken heart easily
Freely fly away from failure
Gain nothing by giving graciously
Help heal others hearts
Ignore inflammatory implications
Live with long lasting love
Make love to many men
Plan nothing, please plenty
To have taken away
The troubles that tore terribly
That’s all Alice wanted...

The biggest show in Vegas.
There’s not one empty seat.
No bad acts to plague us.
The night has been replete
with singers and with dancers who move with skillful feet.

Now has come the last act. Everyone agrees
it’s the biggest one that is in store.
Blindfolded, two are daringly swinging by trapeze.
The audience falls silent. What for?
In shock, we watch the fallen one, bleeding on the floor.
