Short Decked Poems

Dragon has a date
And wants to borrow the car; 
Decked out in his tux,
A size three hundred deluxe.
Top down, he crashed on beltway!

John Winston Ono Lennon
From Britain to Brooklyn, decked in denim
Controversial through his peace and political activism
Felled by Mark David Chapman's act of barbarism...

as set, sublime shrubs.
velvet blossoms decked the ground
flowers in art form
In the woods, it spreads quickly.
treetops yield joyous backdrop....

Listen to poem:

shell
spiral
coiled so well
to symmetry,
perfect in design,
nautilus sailor shell

what sounds lie within those
opera chamber
halls, decked in pearl
shell nacre,
shiny
glitz....

The beauteous lights do sparkle so
reflecting joy for my spirit to feel.
I wrap each gift and loop each bow.
My home is decked in garnet and teal
as Christmas dazzle I welcome with zeal!...

Daughters of destruction, clothed without caution;
oh I see them in dresses of derision
....their laps sandwished in skirts of seduction
and their faces decked with colours of confusion....

The monk parakeet, decked out in lime green,
In communal nests they can oft be seen.
To raise kids, they don't depend on granny.
Instead, they hire a helper or nanny....

Matrons decked in thick jewelry
who find pleasure in soft chuckles,
exploring the art of rumor
long their hours... fulfilled or empty?

8 12ish #2

Decked out in gorgeous red,
Lilies white, violet, blue and yellow
Jutting out from the pond,
Pads broad and flattened out
But not one frog to sit.
Schools of gold,
Some to faded white
With few of ebony....

The sun waits in the shadows, ready to crown the morning with gold
If I could fold the suns rays, form them into a crown of gold
Then you my lovely princess, would always be decked in silver and gold...

The leaves lie, stuck and slippery;
     those in the air, dripping and clinging.
Shivering, as the brisk wind blows;
      birds seem to be sleeping sans singing.
Decked pine, in the window, lit, adorned;
      light angel above the trimming.

Colors in the trees
They're decked out for summer fest
in raspberry days
At last the get together
Seasons come but once a year

Here comes red robin
for the sunshine singalong
as jay sings the blues
amidst dark berries galore
in the middle of the year...

(Wined Floor)

The wine brewed without
Drip drop drip drop
Visual temptations lured me
My bronze tresses wet
Down the nape to my soul
Red painted toes
Danced on the wined floor
Decked for love.

Spring
my love,
enchanting,
greets me with dawn's ~
bright beautiful smile,
hair decked in verdant hues,
blossoms in her cheeks, pink & white,
wearing the rose necklace in neck,
daffodils dance with her in the wind,
She waits for me to dance in moonlit night.

They turned out for the ball
decked out in their finest
   gowns of green
sleeves frilly lace-trimmed
weaving and waving their charms
   to a gentle breeze
alternating from deep, rich tones
to a sun-splashed yellow
topped off by lush garlands
   wreathed offerings...

HAIKU #12,098-13,000.................................................ME, MYSELF, AND YOU


2B or not 2B
Not one to be complacent
My pen takes over

Serendipity -
Me and you with stern hand
Served simple abundance

So we face twilight
Me and you sans bashfulness
Decked stage lead actors.

you can quickly smell
that Coco Chanel
is the central passion
of Nana’s fashion

soon looking you tell
that pearls as well
on ears and neck
are smartly decked

arthritis and all
she stands tall
strutting down the lane
with designer cane

~ The ship has sailed 
Casting seas
This the sentimental voyage
Those the waves engulfing me 
Watered down withered tattered and torn 
Swiss and swashed washed and decked these waves 
So are compassionate so blows the winds
From the east to the west
Alas now I find myself shipwrecked~ ...

Big Bertha wore a custom-made silk bra 
    When hubby first saw her, he was in awe
                 On their very first date,
                He was in a dazed state
She decked him with one huge boob in the jaw

She was all decked out in petticoats plus.
Tried to get on the stage with us.
But we pushed her out onto her rear.
No fancy women allowed in here.

Our men laughed at our evil action.
But we did not care. Gave us satisfaction.
The good book helps us be mean to these kind.
What would Jesus do? Let’s never mind....

How stone-black is the park at will
And frail is the twilight
That glimmers across an uphill
Yet teardrops roll, all decked in white.

~
Later, amidst the evening rain
When hours drift in repose
The pounding lash of time contains
A bench without a rose.

You'd embroidered the Inferno
sewn with the thread
of supple beauty,
endowed Ganguria
with philosophical
profundity and great altitude
of enlightenment.
You'd reconciled
an old skirmish
between disdain
and phobia.
O God, you made
Ganguria an ultimate abode
decked with platonic ideal
of love and mosaic complexion...

One has wrinkles, but so does the other
  and they both are a whole lot of bother
They can't control when or where they pee
  To get around, they crawl on their knees

Yet a helpless baby everyone loves
  An incontinent old man nobody does
Perhaps it's because the baby's so cute
  even when decked out in his birthday suit...

A poem form with severe limitations

Add many stringent applications 

Does one write with intellect

Oh! Heck, incorrect!

'Tis shot down!

Decked! 

So this clown

Will just disconnect

Don't worry 'bout that aspect

Whoa! Just do total aberration

A poem form with severe limitations ...

(for Chris Okigbo)

Brief!
The sparks of her face
Shone like the shiny water –

Decked with an eternal beauty
Of a brief exit
As a star on the earth:

Hidden drums drum her
To dwelling places
Planted in the Niger –

A damsel:
Sparks of guardianship
Is lost at a river-side:

Into the deep palaces
Of the water-maid....
