Short Effusive Poems

Normally so verbally effusive
Few words left
Dead stop
Caring...

A psychotic's delusive
A bully's abusive
A hermit's reclusive
A gossip's intrusive...
Praise is effusive
True Wisdom, elusive...

Effusive as unkindly
traits may be
They factor as impulsive evidence
of choice
Unbroken as futile swords 
felled a seam
Adroit patterns drew themselves
a gaudy noise...

There's a Poodle so rude and intrusive
His loud barking is shrill and abusive
A busybody pest
An interloper at best
But offers love both true and effusive

When the mind grabs and holds,

slams and finally pins down 

an elusive poetic idea

on the judo mat of

the written word,

the soul leaps

with effusive

yet quiet

joy!...

He impregnated the silence 
       With laughter 
       Simple, effusive 
Loud and contagious laughter.

Bright
shines spring's
fledgling sun.
New blooms praise her,
inspiring élan.
Now effusive,
she conquers
winter's
dun.

The cloud-filled sky
hides the day...
rain drips
liquid life...
the field in celebration
embrace the blessings
with effusive joy...
Satisfied by the gift I remain,
but sad a little
because the rain brings me
other memories...!...

Listen to poem:

Love is buoyant, bobbing and bopping.
Love is lolling, limber and lithe.
Love is exuberant, effusive and effervescent.
Love it sparkles, shimmers and scintillates.
Love is capricious, unwitting, unintended.
Love is deliciously unfathomable.
Above all else, 
Love is what you want it to be....

whenever the mind finally grabs

     and pins down an elusive

          poetic idea on the judo mat

               of the written word, 

                    the soul jumps 

                        with effusive, 

                             yet quiet,

                                  joy !...

seventeen Septembers savored
    sweet, sober joy - strange paradox
        sampling life’s effusive flavors
            intoxicating skyward thoughts
                inexplicably-found favor

An effusive reflection of prose from the poet’s pen
Strokes of grace and luxuriant sentiments fly free
Embracing temperance like sapphire blooms of brilliance
Caressing the canvas most liberating, and significantly
Like clouds drifting in delicately hued cascades
Metaphorically silent within its ethereal afterglow....

A spirited moon
   'neath furtive glances,
      anguished mid despair
looked upon hushed
  entangled constellations 
      and heeded a warning,
for he knew well of lavishing
    recherché intricacies,
mattered naught how exquisite,
  nothing lasting could come
    of liaisons's effusive grandeur,
       betwixt clandestine stargazers...

Dang, you're gone.
You're really gone?
Andrea says so and she's no liar.

All your effusive
romantic
over-the-topness.
Frantic, fearless, forever flighty,
fabulous, ferocious for-realness.

Gone.

Waiting for the rest of us.
Sure to have flowers and rivers,
cliffs, sunsets and descriptions we'd never have thought of
on our own.

Until we meet again.

Namaste....

Eased onto an exsiccated embankment
Enchanted by the empyreal expanse
Exhausted from day's endued earning
Yet elated at the endowment of esprit
Enjoying earth's earnest, emoting eye of
Emerald engraved in ecru in eyes that are 
Endlessly enamoured with all existence; I
Echo 'er expression of enthralled euphoria 
Evoking an effusive extolment of Eminence

Chanel produces fragrance that some may call sublime,
But nature's sweet aromas will stand the test of time.
Cascading lilac petals in soft effusive bloom
Exhilarate my spirits with heavenly perfume.
A gentle buzzing echoes, as humming bees alight;
Wisteria in blossom is such a wondrous sight.

Sure that she was a real pearl,
Many calls, always no answer, 
Would have sung in the streets for her!
Would have jumped off a bridge for her.

Guess not really in love,
Or just not into me sick of, 
Erasing  my effusive calls,
Or yet again too much schmalz.

well that's the very sad end
Of my going off the deep end
For some girl I soon forgot,
Wish could say was distraught!...

   Caitlin Clark this, Caitlin Clark that
     your name is magic, you're the Cat in the Hat

   You’ve got folks so mesmerized
     they don’t see you’re undersized

   In a tizzy, fans shell out their dough
     Don’t they know you’re skinny and slow 

   Over you the media's ablaze
     all they print's effusive praise

   Yet not a word about this corker
     ~ your new pro team is mediocre

The room in the Agua Fria neighborhood
it's the only place i feel safe
in this city of effusive parties
from so many noisy places...
There is the beach street where I sometimes pass...
However, it is in my tranquil room that I find calm and refuge.
from the horrors of city stridency...
I wish life was a cozy room
without the unnerving throb of the street-
If so... plaintive serenity
how is my lovely room... !...

A facility he had not used
But about it already enthused:
A not funny challenging toilet,
Water needing like Pontus Pilate:
Just to climb it effusive pride bruised 
And when one was through with it still mused

Twelve litres of water when not late:
What one might be right to tag Plain Fate
The wildest cats would towards its slouch,
The wildest man on it limply crouch; 
Not a convenience you'd for it vouch,
Found faults in the nastiest language crouch....

Giving, gentle, genuine creator
Open door to all who desire to be greater
Divine, devoted Father of all mankind

Inviting, incomparable love divine
Sympathetic, supportive, love effulgent

Loving, loyal luminous Father indulgent
Out of sight, outstanding heart alterer
Vital ingredient for agape love story 
Extraordinary, enchanting, effusive glory
