Short Ent Poems

Scent 
To buy not a cent 
It sends out a smell 
In scent  
C(ent) what is dead...

A sentient scenty Ent,
    Treebeard, I feared, but it’s weird:
        I smelled him before I beheld him….

——————-

It’s Gershon’s fault, him and his plea-scent poetry...

The NHS has plans to save money
Which ENT consultants won’t follow
They won’t hear of budget cuts
They think the plans quite shallow
Which have got up there noses
And they find them hard to swallow...

O-n twenty-first January, 
S-aturday greets the blue lane; 
C-oal clouds have vanished, 
A-s well as the cold
R-ain.

S-ent graces from above
U-se the river near the plateau; 
L-et not the blessings run dry
I-n the fountain of water
T-oo....

L-et your friends gladly send 
I-nspiring words of regard; 
Z-ealously receive them, 
A-lthough the net is weak or hard. 

C-herish the good greeting, 
O-nce you see the sun's ascent; 
D-irectly to your wall, 
E-very wish is gladly 
S-ent....

(First published in The Ravi 2015)
I flee the jaws of Time's story
As they snip me apart twig by twig
Black Roses nesting
In the flesh that was broken
Sand sweeps in, questing
Eternity's whittling me down to a sprig
An Enting lost in a paper factory...

Red-headed, brown sugar drops on nose
Taller, taller, taller he grows
Big brown eyes, braces on teeth
Wax in ears, boots on his feet


(Observing my grandson sitting in the ENT office to be told that he has some 
hearing loss from constant allergy, infections, and middle ear infections.)...

She wraps five stair steps tight in arm;
tears now dried by winds of war.
Rent in twain; two now one.
Each child feels her might,
not as the oak.
Great is strength
that has
heart.

E-arly Tuesday morning 
D-enies the lonely night; 
E-ver warm seventeenth January 
M-akes the day alright. 
E-very drop of the cold rain 
E-vades the lovely sunrise; 
L-et the flowers attract the bees and the butterflies. 

R-ivers are softly running, 
O-ceans are calm and silent; 
X-factor is the fine weather, 
A-s my acrostic is 
S-ent....

M-essage sent to you 
I-s clear, loud, and true; 
C-ontent of the lines
H-as brought you out of the blue.
E-very written word within
L-ets your heart gladly beat; 
L-etting both your eyes open, 
E-ach meaning, they meet.

B-efore I send message to you, 
A-llow me to edit it first; 
R-ight here under the moon, 
C-ompletely finish my verse.
E-arly twenty-first of May
N-ever fails the morning dew; 
A-fter the night I've just
S-ent message to you....

C-omposer of sweet message
R-ightfully employs salutation; 
I-mplementing greetings
S-ent in poetic expression.
E-ager composer of sweet message
T-hinks of warm regard; 
T-o comfort the celebrant, 
E-ven sans birthday card.

M-essage scribed by composer
U-ses twenty-fourth of December; 
N-atal moment of the lady
S-tops the rugged weather.
A-s the poem is crafted
Y-early to turn another page; 
A-mazing note is penned by
C-omposer of sweet message....

W-onderful day begins
A-s the new dawn is breaking; 
S-unlight shines to share 
E-leventh January morning. 
E-vening shadows have faded, mist and haze disappear; 
M-erry mood of the moment adds another fruitful year.

S-ent greetings warm your heart, 
H-appy songs are played on the air; 
E-veryone is singing and wishing, 
R-emembering the eventful affair.
I-t's one thing I don't want to lose, as I've penned an acrostic;  
F-rom the heart these words come, with a birthday as a topic....
