Short Fretfully Poems

The Night Mare dances 
Behind eyes of a dreamer 
Fretfully on chords...

High strung  tight heart strings
A shy chord of melody
Fretfully slowly thrummed




To express the feelings and fears of new young lovers
in the context of musicly blended notes
within the haiku rules of conduct...

Be still, my love...I whisper steadily...
The predator is out to kill...hush now!
Don't scream in pain...resist it or we'll suffer intensely...

Get ready...my dove...I shout fearlessly...
The hawk will snatch you with a thrill...be brave now!
Don't unleash your fear or we'll be mourning fretfully......

On Merit alone, I could swallow the World,
But lethargy, 'tis all I've conducted
My Rage itself, could darken the sky
(Feel me explode, like a volcano erupted!)

To my Failures, fretfully chained
(The effects of the drugs, they've activated)
Senses enhanced, perspectives changed,
And new Revelations to be contemplated......

The Rainmaker

 

l sat with anxious desires

looking to the sky for solace

humming fretfully 

Chanting eerily

aching and straining

Hailing for the drops

l am wailing and raving

as l stir a flame

swaying with the swirling smoke

l am shivering amidst this trial

cloaking my shame

with the chilling wind...

Cotton sleeps unsoundly, 
Knowing many hands are there  to pick it--
Many scarred hands that roam
The fluffy fields at the crack of dawn.
Cotton gets anxious
When sunlight wakes the morn.
Cotton smells the coffee brewing
And fidgets fretfully 
At the thought of brown
Blood stained hands.
Cotton meets its death
In sacks slung around
Poor men’s shoulders....

In France, on Friday the fourteenth of February a famous French family flamed fires in a faulty fireplace causing a frightening fire.  Fresco street friends fretfully watched as fifty fabulous firemen fought furiously the ferocious flashing flames.  Finally, at four o'clock in the afternoon the fatigued firemen finished fighting the frightening flames and the filthy firetrucks fled off to the fire station....

The dark skirts of the night rise up,
dawn's ankles appear as pale as pearls.
Some have spoken of the Goddess,
hailed the coming of Her light.

Sometimes,
as the sun crests a yet unseen horizon
I feel her enfolding arms - sense
the perfume of Her early flowering.

Other's toss and turn fretfully,
but those who invite Her in
fall in love,
they lay still and self-empty,
allow Her
Her next moves....
