Short Erecting Poems

Love On The Riverbed

He pitched a tent on her banks
Her teeth clenched as pegs dug deep
Campfire sparks, heat's erecting 
The winds howling in lost flight

To The Moon And Back

We soared like rockets to the moon
Streaking skies heat as we swoon
Clouds amass at first
Erecting frenzy burst
Back on earth our butterflies croon

Color flows from the void and 
hands swing, sway across a canvas; 
to the music of the life;
erecting a universe.

The pulse of existence
beats out its rhythm and soul awakes
into being.

blubbering
fools, we humans,
or cold,
syncopated 
by the shivering
bluish lips
of thieves,
erecting
statues
to themselves
in Southern
atmospheric haste.
we wipe away the germs
STAT
stitches up her dress

A vital connection
remains at ready..
We have cleared the brush
before
once or more
but brambles return
clouding our vision 
erecting prison bars..
So press the button
for clarity's return
for exile relieved
for grace revealed.....

Bringing undesirable to book, 
on irregularities for the look, 
exposing acts of crook and hook. 

plugging out loopholes, 
erecting pillars and poles, 
making a determined score. 

Remedying, 
nursing bruised soles, 
overhaul to the core

The wrath blooding my vexed hands 
The pride to call myself Messiah
The envy leering at other's pasture
The lust erecting my temptations
The sloth idling into nothing 
The greed forever unsatisfied 
The gluttony gorging till it pops

To call me a child of God 
It is a joke....

Burning yearning for connecting
Bubbling in God’s embrace
Bliss pillar in form erecting
Blessings of divine grace

Love in love with God thus
In trust, boards the bliss bus
Going where He takes us

Soul consuming
Burning yearning

I fear Hatred has deepened 
the thickets surrounding us, 
erecting thorns where there 
should be blooms. 

I fear that we have defined fire
as the Condemnation of Chaos
rather than believing in the heat
of its pure, creative essences. 

If there are fires to be spread,
may we be scorched with Love....

Beaver Management
     By Dane Smith-Johnsen

All beavers create dams,
Erecting, flooding gates
Havoc ineptly, jets
Keeping lauds minimized.
Not one public query.
Rivers support then use.
Vivaciously winding.
Xylophory yearning 
Zealots.


Note:  Hurray, I FINALLY finished an ABC poem.  Finding an x word wasn't easy!...

if it were
only so
easy

my hair
needs to
be longer

braid some
fake or
real hair

any
color or
any length

i lost a leg
one shoe
only needed

all that is
left is the
right

if i knew 
how to grow 
another

then i could
go camping
with you 

and after
erecting my tent
i'd pump 

up
my air
mattress...

I did with sinking heart, notice
Ask me what, and I will deliver sans prejudice.
Minus three from a decade being on precipice,
Yet hammered for erecting defensive rise,
His self-belief pervaded poll's vice.
Thus ploughed he, relentless and determined
towards staggering recordings of happy lies.
Finally he did recede, failing entry's justice....

"Memories are the gifts of children"


Rolling down a grassy slope
Educing screams of pure delight
Making pies composed of mud
Erecting castles in the sand
Magic puddles lure small feet
Bugs of all design examine
Energy without remission
Rainbows arch to tease the eye
Innocence is on display
Noses test the petals essence
Gleeful is the child at play...

Young Willy arranged to go camping
alas, he struggled erecting his tent
he tweeted he had terrible erection problems
I hope his parents knew what he meant!

Next year he said he’ll go glamping
or hire a log cabin out in the wood
then he won’t have erection difficulties
and his tweets can’t be misunderstood!

SUNFLOWER
    
                          Sunflower smiles as Sun shines
                          Golden Sunflower moves head
                          erecting face to the Sun.
                           Sun showers blessing.

TOWER

            Tall tower tempting to touch torn clouds.
            Obstinate overconfident, overwhelmed on own structure.
            Wonderful high rise offering warm wishes to sky.
            Erecting arrogant head entertaining eagle to perch on parapet. 
            Rooftop feels proud of height, casting pitiful glances on ground.

The dark, darkest night
Oh crescent moonlight 

A trace or slight glimmer 
Divine stars abating all tremors 

A dark night of the soul
Travailing darkness new and old

Singularly erecting from nothingness 
Now, standing in divine abundance 

Oh, beautiful bennu lifting its wings
From lowly ashes up, and up the bird sings

Super soul path sailing
Oh divine light, no more wailing

Lonely might be the lot
But alone, not alone, not...

INFINITY

Welcome to the world…

‘finite’ humans trying to understand an ‘infinite’ God
He has a game plan which is not our own
the only constant in our lives-alone
at all times, through all things
always faithful, His love He brings
the stowaway on Satan’s ‘bus’
erecting invisible fencing, avoiding mistrust
only through His mercy, power and grace
can we ever win our soulful race
‘finite’ humans trying to understand an ‘infinite’ God

Welcome to the world…....
