Short Exhibiting Poems

His Ophelia* not his spouse
but was Esther an artist in her day

The pugnacious primate up to know good.
Exhibiting face, so close, where we stood.
Full confrontation.
Exacerbation,
As he scoops up his poop, eats it as food.

exhibiting
      a fusion
of light
        in impressionistic
 reflections 
 
extraordinaire,
'en plein air'

on repeat
over
     &over
again

morning
      noon
after noon

ever-changing
yet
never
     the same
scene 
      of
            the seine...

Your hands are shaking, give them here
I'll hold them right in mine, my dear
But first may I just place a kiss
On top of them? I'd be remiss
If I did let this moment pass
Without exhibiting some class
I'll help you up out of your seat
I'll place rose petals at your feet 
On bended knee I'd ask of you
To never bid to me adieu...

i don't care to get to know
those exhibiting the warning signs.
all i've ever known is how to stay behind.
left alone to understand how easy i am to leave.
it should alarm me, but it only calms me.
preminitions of goodbye lay next to me at night
in the spot you told me, 'this is forever."
i look over and you're nowhere in sight....

An exotic leopard roars

She devours each and every thought

Naturally I plea for more

A small price reminiscence brought



Across the room taunting she winks

Exhibiting her work of art

I refrain emotion to make her think

Upon this temptress I shall dart



From virgin city anxious I stray

Paused betwixt happiness and dismay...

M-ake no bland move, 
Y-ou have to show emotion; 
R-efrain from exhibiting no concern, 
A-ct with exciting motion.

H-ave to evade bland move, 
O-r uninteresting walk; 
L-et not your gesture be boring, 
L-et not clarity leave your talk.
O-n the twenty-first of September, let your performance prove; 
N-ever allow your life to conduct a bland move....

Nature’s lightning bugs
fireflies bear own bulbs 
from eve to morn
radiating hope*
with Creator's beam…

Lanterns of paradise
exhibiting functionality
fireflies thrive 
for ecosystem balance
beyond poetic illumination-role.

*Psalm 39:7 And now, Lord, what wait I for? My hope is in thee.

Round marblelike structures
Craftily aligned on wearer's waist 
Boasts loudly in the manner of silence 
Of Mother's amaranthine intelligence 

Ibèbè, magic or science? 
Ibèbè, the magic of science 
Soother of the pain cursed 
On the woman's seeds 

Orbs powerful of exhibiting
An infinite range of colours 
Bestow beauty on bodies.
The awe of Mother's and God's creation....

Beauty of nature…God’s great creation
Looking contentedly toward the horizon
Seagulls flying happily as the sun sets for the day
Calmness of waves amazingly lies on the deep sea
Gleaming like crystals, exhibiting purity

Waves around impinging ferociously
the seashore fiercely anticipating  
To settle personal retribution
in darkened murderous circumstances.
Night's  sincere sentinel exhibiting
the water’s shallowness environments
to water vehicles incessantly
to avert dangerous situations.

Today the clouds have a purple hue,
Not like yesterday when they were blue.
Does the purple hue bring gloom and doom,
Or does it imbue a hint of pink in view?
 
The clouds have flattened,
And lost their cumulus shape.
Now exhibiting a lenticular view,
Still exposing the purple hue.
 
 
It appears something could be hidden,
Inside the disc-shaped cloud.
Could it be something from afar,
Just visiting to see how we are?...

Welcome to Eden
dominating the dominated
exhibiting the power called man.
the heir to the heirloom  

Let's eat from the fruit Eden
seeking the knowledge that birth pain
tooling the land of our toils
spilling the beans of our sorrows  

Go out of Eden
Sell out your heritage
Trading inheritance to inherit once
with blood littering our hands  

sacrifice the lamb
Rip apart the curtains.
call upon Father's love
Let's go back to Eden....

The fearsome Bulldog strolls 
as a robust reminder
to those exhibiting various traits 
of hooligan grinder.

He keeps a close watch 
for surreptitious acts of malice
from those who sneak a peek 
then retreat to their palace.

Kings and Queens 
who flaunt their gargantuan pride.
Be careful where you trod 
the dog hears every lie.

Blocked by most of the sugar crowd 
with their game.
The level of hypocrisy wielded 
just adds to the shame....

Quaint Inanity. 

Sometimes ago I'd thought of the idiosyncratic Shenanigans our politicians  employed  in declaring their manifesto. They're  quite rapscallions. 

Exhibiting hoity-toities during their declarations of flapdoodle, they 
Tune their cozenage to the rhythm 
Of rascality. 

And you see kaleidoscopic legs picking
The nimbus of the elfin music. 

And they're swayed into cotillion till their Fela* commute to dirge.

SWAGGER

          Bogus speaker in the seminar
          appeared loud exhibiting swagger,
         talked nonsense without any manner
         offending others as if with dagger.
         
        Wrath of audience oblivious.
        Speaker satisfied in own event
        proving self, stupid ridiculous,
        left podium smart and confident.
