Yellow the colour
when I see your lovely hair
Green is the colour
of your evocative eyes,
Rose Pink lips of sparkling dew.

Five lines can make poem.
Lines should not be vile
Can it bring a smile?
Make it simple, wholesome.
Poem is evocative, not a fake’s wile.

Piano tuners and honeymooners

skipping to the music of the offshore ballet

sea-side sunshine coordinates the rhythm and timing

waves in motion and gulls

agave blade collects dewdrops
evocative flashes generate
heartfelt imagery

jewels kindle latent musings
new, original poetry

quivering reflections silently
trigger undulating
verses which x-press
youthful zeal

alluring, evocative, desire's velvet soul
unlily-like reveals fierce, flaming bud
swelling flower bursts, scintillating points
love rests,  dew filled cup

Infant Poet


I heard the sweetest cry: “Jack Ellison!”
Soon after birth of Joe my Cherubim Son
That bestowed bliss and not sorrow-
A symbol for a judicious tomorrow
Evocative of erstwhile Lord Tennyson!

conception
   of
      femininity
exposed

the courageous
      determined
         energetic
in exuberant  voluptuousness

with intent
of lips&
          strongwilled chin
evocative
of
disconcerting 
         freedom
yet
  an object
     of desire
in perturbing
                sensuality...

Evocative lines bring tears to the eyes.
Plethora of metaphors makes men think.
Emollient words soothe someone in his cries.
Furtive reading lets not mind quit and blink.
As the brain broods the troubles that arise,
No way will confidence dwindle or shrink.
Ineffable happiness of the heart
Allows not the sad soul to fall apart.

the contemplative
is not
       explained

silent 
ethereal
     evocative
a
moment
       in time
                        displayed
arrayed
in
pensive pictures

the natural
everyday
             phenomena

sunlight
in shadows
                  still life
prompts
invoke a question

what
         happens
                       next...

A GRAHAM EKPHRASIS
With elegy so tender
‘a word left at the ear’
Evocative in sentiment
so often brings a tear.
Narrative ,syntax & cadence
when read aloud‘As is moments’
from the mouth,with pace
 & tone  uniquely remembered,
a readers’ experience alone

Tribute to W, S Graham 1918-1986

Listen to me recite this ekphrasis on youtube unde my pen name ichthyschiro...

Seduction is a movement that falls in step with the ocean’s tide.
Its power hidden in the ebb and flow,
Evocative motions pulling you outside of time.
You tangle yourself in sea grasses,
the dark water is now your home.
Lonely souls and lovers alike,
gather by this mysterious and sultry shore.
With heavy chains they wrap their naked bodies
All hoping for a chance to drown....
