Geese, electrified, dances smoothly.
Yellow wings serenade elegies
amongst the endless sky.
Sorrow washes stained
blueness satisfaction near rain
Shattering grayness sighs

For entry into Michael Falitico's "Smiles and Frowns" contest
My fantasy: to play the saxophone.
My soul poured out in jazzy melodies;
soft, supple nuance, sensual in tone.
I picture in my mind sweet harmonies -
aural aromas of sad elegies,
or spicy Latin rhythms of romance,
or reveries that make the people dance.
Exceptions especially encouraged--
Every encounter emerges,
Eventually enveloping everyone
Eagle-eyed; ecstatic, energetic
Early earthlings enjoyed elegies
Effusively effected, each eloquent.

Lost in a labyrinth of
Glistening sights
Infinitely out of reach,
Trembling amidst sweeping mistrals,
Fabricating a life of nostalgic allusions,
Caught in lapsed reveries, of
Restless arias and faint rustlings
Sequestering my rampant aura,
Bleeding in russet naivety,
Evaporating in silent elegies.
GERMANY
From Black Forest’s leafy velvet
Breathing fresh air over the land;
From the fertile earth of the sheltered Rhine,
Or where Goethe and Handel wrote their elegies;
From geest and damp marshes
Teeming rich with sea birds :
From this ground rises a misty eulogy,
A breathy chorus of myriad murders.
The mighty eagle feasts
The sleek swift fish leaps and steals
The lovely meat for himself
Bless the fish who did not base the
Flawless beauty of his faith on doubt
The mighty eagle circles low for he seeks revenge
And I am the widow of elegies
I go back to the follies of my youth to see
How ruinous my last move was against your love
Form:
My soul relishes the harmonious melodies
That glides the ever-flowing force upon the ivory,
Tickling a fondness that embraces our remedies.
My soul relishes the harmonious melodies
By the conjuring use to form scorned elegies.
Mourning and clothed upon the silk finery,
My soul relishes the harmonious melodies
That glides the ever-flowing force upon the ivory.
Eerie voices underground
strangely invite
yet they are nowhere to be found.
Broken bones, broken souls
Lamenting memories
Lost in the catacombs.
Dark elegies written on walls,
Unheard songs that were never recalled
The hymn of unfortunate souls.
The truth will likely be hidden
in the dark alleys where questions remain unanswered
Now, Then...Forever

Remembrance Day
Cold
Mists of
November
Gently embrace
Moss covered tombstones
In cathedral graveyards
Silent battlefields echo
Plaintive elegies of poppies
Remembrance Day for fallen heroes

True
Golden
Is the light given to write
The words that lovingly depart
Gleaned from the collection of moments
Watching the dance of life on a limitless silent stage
While the multitude of days fold in-between
A ream of poems on blank paper sheets
Rehearsing years of storied elegies
That churn and spill upon a new
Light of understanding
Recounting hope
Enlightenment
Wisdom
Love
Farewell to summer, daily bringing heat
Arrivederci, warmth, I'll miss you so
Reluctantly, I bid adieu to waves
Enjoyed in balmy weather, thanks to you
Waving goodbye to toes bathed in a stream
Extending elegies of wakened dream
Lost to a frigid blast of autumn's gale
Laughing - to know that you'll be back next year

winter serenade
winter serenade
frozen crystal melodies ~
red cardinal chants
leafless boughs sing out
arias of roaring storms ~
snowdrops harmonize
blasts of icy frost
chanting plaintive elegies ~
daphne flowers bloom
short days intone night
with a solstice lullaby ~
fir trees wear white stoles
shadows of springtime
creep into amber twilights ~
bears snore rhythmic dreams

The flipside of the day
Brings a lot of melodies
Of painful journals
At most the moon and stars are dead
For those eyes that lament for the beloved
The breezy sound of the wind
Doesn't bring a beautiful song of serenity
Instead a tune of sinister
Darker than the night
Because the lullabies of every nocturnal
An echoing elegies
For those who were left behind
Sightseeing imaginary images
Whispering song for them
Every night
Still dying inside
