Short Foiling Poems

D-ark shadows at night 
S-tay until the morning comes, 
N-ot foiling the dawn.

The Morning sun
 Showered upon me 
A handful of joy

The setting sun
Gave an assuring hug
foiling the ploy

of all the slithering abundance of tiresome life...

This day of Autumn shivered
And then did sneeze.
A thousand gold-leafed foiling
Of birch, beech spilt.

Soon, and colder, will it be
Known for its wheeze.
What from off each bough, dance-frozed
Spooks finch's lilt....

Joyous Noel
Splendorous with foil
Foiling the weather,
Birds fluffing feathers,
Joyous Noel
Keeping warm with kindness,
Strong with pine scents
Trees sparkling white, contents
Joyous Noel!
Let none be voiceless
Voicing all of this churr,
A gently stirred whirr.

whooshing wits woven
crushed tongue cloven
dark age drooled
felon fate fooled
haughty nature's nimble
foiling feasts feeble

salient seal bruised
callous crave cruised
vying voluptuous view

severed passion smoldered
crushed, crimson asunder
squashing lanky lethal

farcical fury fumbled
fiddling fostered fickle.

felon fate fostered
feigning flimsy clusters
voluptuous verge drown
cremating callous clown
dark dribbles birthed
hampered hankerings hoisted

moaning mists raved
foiling rusty rage
wanky will wailed

meagre moans masticated
voluptuous vying hibernated
bruised bugs perfected

porous pulses oozed
tracing taunted tune.

worn wit's fang
omen's punctured prank
hoisted odds hampered
relieving rusty orders
monstrous myth melt
dripping dark delves

eerie experiment etched
foiling felon flesh
mental horizon's mesh

fragile future's confetti
humming hacked hymns
quarantined fate flicked

callous contractions cruised
birthing blitzkrieg bruised.

ON DIVORCE
Old love is descending to a closure
It’s getting weaker as days go by;
Disturbing violently, my composure.

This changing life is waning hereby
Exploiting the darkness of separation;
Trying to confront an unpleasant goodbye.

Trying not to vent her frustration
I shall go about with sincere intentions;
Without the necessary aggravation.

There shall be sadness and foiling emotions
To agree without confusion and commotions....

some by zeal are birthed
worn wills leering lanky lips
dark fate foiling spree
passion pores punctured pee

some in wills are ridden
worn wits spilling, sodden
sassy spell hoisting alakazam
gullible acts fostering gaunt gas

some trail tactic trade:
politics, business and sundry craves
casting bruised brain by door
eerie ideas oozing porous pawn

live by wits, let acumen flow
or merrily in folly glow.

Note: of bruised brain....

They say in his old age, Isaac was blind
    yet like his father Abraham, unusually kind

  Rebecca, his wife, came from a family evil and cruel
    her brother Laban tried to rob Eliezer of all of his jewels ... 

  Isaac loved his 'hunter-son,' Esau, a chip off Laban's block
    in Esau's brother Jacob, her pure son, Mother Rebecca put her stock -- 

  Foiling Isaac's plan to give his blessing to Esau, one so cruel
    ~ Love that is blind must not be permitted to rule...

Fluttering fireflies 
Above the creek baited sly
Hoodwinked in high skies

Genji's ruthless ruse 
Foiling Hotaru's scheme
In summer rains' reprise
Pattering musical notes 
On screen to wilfully tease
Dark nights dashing dream
Fireflies sparking muse

Unveiling the radiant allure
Of Tamakazura's fair silhouette
Smitten Hotaru pens love pure
A waka to win her heart yet 

Hear Hotaru's heartbeat
In relentless petition
Seeking solemn retreat
In love's glorious rendition...
