Short Emphasizing Poems

YOU write poetry?
Shocked face.
Never being fond of this one in any way,
I nod a teensy bit.
I am sure she disbelieves me.
I have never been overly kind or friendly toward her.
And I am not the flowery, moonbeam, lace and roses type.
She says it again. Emphasizing the YOU.
I pretend to smile....

Trump and Loose Stool

Together think Trump and I could write,
And for him to do this  will surely invite; 
Much loose stool, 
In his swimming pool, 
And as owner ended up getting up tight.

Jim Horn

What we need to do id demand 
People up should  start to stand 
Be part of what government planned 
Emphasizing love  in all the land....

brighter afternoon
after the solar eclipse
four eyes put away
as couples are high-fiving
emphasizing  photographs

heigh-ho back to screen
first to post solar eclipse
along with the throngs
lucky strike of sunshine gold
its older than the black hills

the sun soon will set
but will all appreciate
the normal darkness?
sunset taken for granted
without retinopathy

Souls are beyond 3D illusions 
Just like a free bird flying High ,
In the sky with no boundaries ,
Making its way for positivity ,
Without being affected by negativity ,
Their aura is mesmerizing ,
And make us energising,
Their words are emphasizing 
Just a word from them heals your wounds ,
And make you reminiscing 
Leaving all your pain
You get a rejoicing vibe ...

Boiled in international broth
soiled by an internal sloth
emphasizing the epiphany
gorged by an internal gluttony
salivating a want to succeed
griped by an internal greed
creative moments of clarity
enveloped by an internal envy
triumph built on trust
lynched by an internal lust
paved to form a new path
wasted by an internal wrath
collective thoughts collide
pilloried by an internal pride...

Sketching - shading
Drawing  a conclusion
Imaging hues
In focus with  my eyes
Visualizing- 
Establishing texture
The pencil glides - experimentation
Emphasizing - I create art
With element of surprise
Measuring
Thoughts are relevant
Expressive

Challenging
Creating, bringing meaning to sight
Seeing shapes- objects
Imagery appears 
Thus what focused LINE
Bringing to completion
Creating the reflections of personality
Hence, I am creativity....

Her smile shed a glow,
  her smirk shows her skill,
cutting on the curvature,
banking on the opponent,
dropping like a pro,
        moving like a dancer
             sculpted of sensual stone
smooth and flawless,
braids cascading down
    emphasizing lushes lips of pink.
Tantalizing
    dark eyes
        drawing you in
stalling your game,
the epitome 
       of a full moon in a cloudless sky
           at midnight,
the eloquence of natural beauty....

Adorned and Adored

Let us adorn 
   our daughters with pearls!
Gifting 
One pearl — so very dearly 
   ocean-made, fresh…
To dress each earlobe
With a radiant luster,
Emphasizing the spirited 
Life-light 
In her glinting,
   mesmerizing eyes…

Then, gather your heart
To proudly place a string 
Of one or some pearls 
Around your daughter’s
    so-familiar neck 
To lay — more precious 
   and worthy than diamonds —
Just below her delighting smile.
