Short Fastidious Poems

I ran and ran
fastidious towards the sun.

Breathlessly I stood,
gazing at the moon....

A born disciplinarian
Should have been a librarian
Shame about her crazy wit
Not everyone understands that bit
An avid libertarian…

Well oh well, can you imagine this
This old duffer is a master of the kiss
Many years experience
Made me quite fastidious
World renowned for my wet fish kiss...

There was a courtly gent name Hearn.
Who was fastidious from stem to stern.
He showered morning and night.
Kept his teeth pearly white.
But couldn't find a wife worth a durn....

Feisty,  flamboyant, fastidious 
Elegant to a fault 
Lord of their wild domains, 
In our homes, spoiled rotten ;
Never a dull or sullen moment 
Each one leads to another 
Stealing your heart, cat lovers...

Listen to poem:

Faithful few
Filled the 
Firmament with
Fundamental fervour
Finally finding, through
Fastidious fellowship,
Future fanatical friends and
Fulfilling the fine frequency
Favourable for forgiveness.
Finally....

LeRoy had never been squeamish, fastidious or fussy,
He always dressed quite casually, his hair sometimes rather mussy.
But that all changed one day
On the 16th of May
When he was bitten by a neighbor’s rabid skunk named Gussy...

I am fanciful,
Not factual.

I am frenzied,
Not famous.

I am fearless,
Not frightened.

I am fast,
Not fastidious.

I am friendly,
Not finicky

I am fruitful,
Not fixed.

I am not famished.
I am finished.

Farewell friends....

The truth became hideous
While lies turned delicious
I was not fastidious 
Neither was I insidious
Only slightly bilious 
Because I was lascivious
Though in truth, I was oblivious
That I rotated into supercilious
Even though I was punctilious!...

Glass cashmere, be soft with your voice
Crystal sinuous glistening
Your pulse, lithe, roars fastidious
While stillness, like starlight, trembles
Today, the darkness, spun like silk, divides
But forever, your rage, delivers peace

impromptu
    light-hearted,
      in vogue:
a genteel
   virtue
      devoid 
      of
      the vernacular..
..yet
     straight-laced,
fastidious
       maybe:
the
    essentials
    of life
in
summoned
semantics
of an
illusory
    vacuum...

A nuisance of echoes
a state resonates with
I don't know whether it
is nothing
claiming too to bake
cakes 
listen now to masquerades
repeating nightmares gossips
as some things
those too impersonating
the world's times
on clocks
ahh! they make noise
perhaps to reap heaps....

beginnings anew ~ passing fades 
winter in your lovely days
fastidious brisk breath leaves 
nature bare of its loveliness

barn teak roost in silent air
wooing doves and many stare 
harmless they do flatter there
antiguos luna llena’s  prayer

Need I dwell
Where the last
Dream fell
And live such
Pain indefinitely?

Nay! To your
Fastidious guilt;

Spoon-dosing
Castor oil
While denying
Evacuation—

Think not
That I love less
For cutting short
My grieving—
When care
I more
Than self
So wear a
Smiley Face
Thus ease
The parting
Of a blameless
Soul…....

Infidel fish arrive,
shoals of blank-eyed eaters swim in circles,
each time the head turns toward Mecca
they nudge it in another direction.

Sea-bugs emerge,
dyspeptic crustaceans as small as fleas,
fastidious eaters
that consume only hate.

Above the waves a ship sails away,
having buried again
the evidence of hells D.N.A....

SANS 9


To dangle in the dying trance
Of dreamy dance in spoilt chance
In the fastidious pursuit
Of empty distractions that reign corrupt
Where even a sense of plain decency
Is drenched with insidious charm
That render meaning hopeless
To redemption and sublime finesse

PEDANTIC? – WHO ME?

You say that I’m pedantic
But that’s not precisely true.
Pedantic is not the right word,
As I’ll explain to you.

I’ve checked the Oxford Dictionary,
Which I know you’ll find insidious.
But really dear you ought to know,
The word you want is ’fastidious’

Picky just like an old school pin up,
easily a trendsetter with scope.
Registered at first glance a star.
Strutting she knows what  sells,
notorious for that catchy slogan
‘I won’t ever provide an alibi.’
Cute with a mouth that’s caustic,
kerchief in her hand style attack.
Each detail devastatingly divine.
Tantalize with the tip of a secret,
yes she’s a fastidious fantasy....

Dangerous Fools and Evil Idiots
They agree to disagree
Always spitefully fastidious
About each other’s pedigree
Always at the war, that goes
With no hope to prove who’s right
There’s no right, because it flows
Through their fingers to the light
Of forgotten source they knew
In the times of childhood years
When the mornings looked brand new
And they lived knowing no fears.

So stuck on fastidious thoughts, unable to make these lines rhyme;
it's like ice trapped between mountains cliffs waiting for spring...
can moodiness and dissatisfaction create the perfect poem?


For hours I tackle the unresponsive feeling that's too latent;
the language is languid, not flowing as smoothly as it should...
'till the rising of dawn words will sound lame and escape from my pen....

My mind is experiencing a fastidious flatulence; slightly fiendish, and not for the
finicky or fainthearted. 
I fidget amidst it's fanatical far-fetched farce yet stand fearless, watching it's face
flounder in a foolhardy feeble-minded foible. 
With fervor I say farewell forever to it's festering, feverish fetish, as it's frantic
fiasco foams, flails and finally fails.

Uncle was a stout version of dad
Which I found quite interesting.
And a very different lifestyle he led.

Dad was a fastidious medical guy
But uncle just a farm worker
Content just to get by.

He lived on a white man's farm
Amidst the kalahari desert thickets
Where jackals often brought harm.

Their abode was a land of milk
Although the flies were everywhere.
But against hunger they had a shield!...

Do you have to become what you are? 
I was a paradox of my absolute self
When catching my shadow cast a tree 
As someone else
Looking frightened and fastidious
My once obvious attributes 
Suddenly became an innately alien reflection
Curveballing my senses
In a whirlpool of cosmic derangement
I lost my brother of the sun
In a milliseconds bluffing realization
Shh! Back to the concrete focus
Where the mercenary kerosene flows...
