Heat; Day's, Night's

Heat; day's, night's. The difference
Twixt caliph's oppressiveness
Swirled of sands about;
And what fine garbed, a-glitter
Offspring's, oozing sultriness
His own, lures back out.

Premium Member Ghosts

             Ghosts

Garbed in ghostly attires
Glistening like a star
Grimacing like an ape
Gurgling like a black owl
Gathered on public square 
Gesturing like actors
Giving a fearful show.

When vague ghosts and spectral mists manifest fully clothed garbed in period dress or suit. My one question is, why aren't they naked? Humans may have a soul, but clothes do not.

Genteel girls trained to charm
Gentlemen with their wit,
Graceful dancing and song.
Garbed in silk kimonos,
Garnished with exquisite
Gems and embroidery - 
Gracious teahouse hostess.

Presence

deep down in the sea
…in the mist of a dark
surrounded by sharks
…Up in the sky
garbed by the cold
…my soul floated with the wind
unsettled on clouds
…beauty of your presence,
brought peace into my heart.

Premium Member Fall fancies

faint essence exudes 
gentle generosity 
I’m swept by your scent 

carnival raiment 
gorgeously garbed in motley 
I’m lost in your charms 

following each leaf 
landing lightly down below 
I’m falling for you

The Santiam Graveyard

Phantoms eerie, 
burned and blackened
arms upraised in supplication
bent and broken, beckoning.
Driftwood garbed they testify
in shrouded mist, in foggy sky 
Woodland graveyard, petrified
Silent screams 
assault the senses
“Who says fire cleanses”

Retribution

The cardinal shattered the chalice with blood of his former god and the men garbed in tainted white glorified their new Son sheer roars, juddering holes in riot meet your god 'neath your feet!

Good-gesture greenthumb gatherers gleaned grain,
gargantuan granary,
grower's great goodwill greeting,
gazillion grade-schoolers, grownups,
gingham-garbed grandmother's,
grievous growling guts gone,
gain gastronomical goodies gardens,
grapes, granola, gourds, gosh!
generosity galore, golly, gobsmacked!

Breakthrough

When will my rain clouds subside and fill my life with sunshine. Is it too much to ask for a break? I have made lemonade so many times, I don't think life has anymore lemons to give me. Let me sip the sweet from the comb of my labour, I have been through enough. Wearing a smile yet garbed  inside with pain, pretending like I have it all together. I need a break!!

Phantasmagoria

As my doleful gaze upon thy form hath fallen,
Garbed in the fashion of sadness or mourning,
Nightly tresses thy sombre tone adorning,
Decadent and beauteous, as a Seraph fallen.

A woebegone faerie with wings lost and broken,
Enshrouded in blackness, a sepulchral lady,
With thy pallid skin and thy heart so shady,
Thou art a graveyard angel who seldom has spoken.

Song of Winter

Bare branches clicking together Winter snapping it’s fingers To a song composed by Nature Sung by winds garbed in White robes of snow Choral composition Season of transition Music swirls all about us Yet…given not To Man to know A song unheard… Except by Angels To mere mortals E’er unknown Of Winter days that in most marvelous ways Makes one want to …write a poem…

The Sound of Black

The sound of Black is Thunderous
booming in a darkened sky
that is ominous

The sound of Black is Scary
Black cats and Black-garbed witches
creating a cacophony

The sound of Black is a Croak
from Black crows and ravens
on the branches of an oak

The sound of Black is Beautiful
Black people worldwide
dressed up very colourful

The sound of Black is Concordant
Ladies in their black dresses
looking smart and elegant

Premium Member Whimsy the Cheerful Cat

How many flowers is Whimsy wearing today?
This was said in a cheerful way, merry and gay.
I have no idea, but she looks pretty of course.
This was agreed upon by the sheep and the horse.

Whimsy was the pet of the barnyard, friend to all.
They loved her happy disposition, she lived in one stall.
The livestock kept her safe, the cow fed her fresh milk.
Today she was garbed in a plethora of flowers, most of them silk.

Shades of a Faded Red

Did time betray the one weilding the sickle or was it the drones in the sky? 
Were the hammers not forged to fight bullets
Were my bullets not the same as the one that tore through me? 
You who were garbed in rich silk
Did you trample on the hands that reached for the skies. 
You who quoted my verses in strife
Did you not raise a finger and let the blooming petals die.
You who caved in, did you not love me to let me go by?

                                        So keen to get a pound of human flesh, Shylock,*
                                         Was jubilating, wearing his long beard and frock,
                                But young Portia, garbed in lawyer`s dress, with mind bright,
                                         In court, solved the case against Shylock, outright.

Premium Member Ready to give him severe words

we were confident in the corn maze
until we reached the tall black ghoul
garbed in wrinkly clothes
with a face that could frighten a devil

we sisters were the brave ones
our brothers hid behind us
terrified of whatever was about to happen
the ghoul held something in his left hand

was that a skinny buzz saw?
Two of the boys took off screaming
the other sister and I held hands
as we approached the monster

ready to give him severe words
for scaring our big brothers.
