Short Furrowing Poems

Hot metals scorching,
Blood vaporizing.
Chest heaving,
Fists clenching.
Words screaming.
Thoughts roaring.
Muscles quivering,
Brows furrowing.
Lips muttering,
Anger ruling, 
Eyes stinging,
Tears flooding....

smile
            radiant, beautiful
    beaming, wearing, gleaming
chirpiness, cheese, scowl, grimace 
 disapproving, furrowing, accusing
             annoyed, worried 
                      frown

Listen to poem:

The swell is rising, 
furrowing the brow of seascape,
forewarning of storm arising.
Sheer bliss for surfers,
toil and trouble incising
ferment and foreboding 
on sailor's foreheads, glistening,
with the spray and froth flung
from wave-top manes breaking, 
off from white horses on the bay prancing.

Time is a trickle of tears that seep
Through the veil,
Wet with moisture of years that weep
Sob, and wail.

What does it matter is they drip down
Your aged face,
Furrowing lines, and forcing a groan?
Grief has grace.

Grace and a dignity all its own,
Worn with years,
Tears, and the battle fought all alone,
Braving fears....

Spiraled fingerprints
spinning placidly forward
fingers round and round 
moving inward and outward
backward like a beet bulb 
from the earth and falling
in circles furrowing
arced lines and curved strength
of muscle memory holding
me mindful of long time you 
then and now pressing further
through freckles and primordial fuzz...

Freddy Farkle, fumbling forecaster for Forestville,
friggin' fudged Friday forecast....fair?!
first florid felicitous, falling flurries followed,
froze flowers, foiled!
faraway farmhouse, furrowing farmland,
frigid fanny, furious, frustrated,
frumpy, frazzled!
furry forest friends furnished flannel frock,
finding Freddy's fails funny, frivolity,
fortunately frequent fallible forecasts
found Freddy flying faraway,
fallaciously forecasting for fermented folks!...

I should like to take Bitter Rattles
As in their own right Brazen battles …

Intensely, The Speaker is flowing,
Whether or not with eyes glowing;
Also riotously, he is thinking
And as riotously blinking,
A nearby child to start yellowing 
And into its shell burrowing; 
Panicked sows not farrowing, 
For as long as he isn’t mellowing 
And down issues narrowing,
His forehead oddly furrowing …

Visibly, it is one drying up,
The Badly Thirsty with a glass cup....

The prompt :
A picture showing two old men laughing together sitting on a park bench.
 


smiles furrowing wrinkles on face  
noisy young days, slowed in pace
all leisure time, no bustle of race
surreal past, memory can't  erase.
toothless bites, no one looks after
two old friends, we share a laughter.

main course dinner, it's all over
'dessert' let's enjoy, sweet forever.

nonsense purity
polymer
a squeezing of something
out
a tri fold with scores
of plastic, so necessarily unfulfilled 
with pictorials
a social security card,
a card from the merchant marines
with a face
eleven dollars, a fiver
and six ones, 
and a diners card
weak elbows,
furrowing brow
the smell of a polish
delicatessen on
his breath
Oh come 
all ye faithfuls 
Mexico, Poland
Bolivia
He wears a 
Movado
Then craves
for bagels
with locks after
playing Polo

Peace!...
