Short Gentility Poems

Gifting us a green canopy,

oaks bow with old South gentility.

Gentility never breaks a water pot
                      But in every rush of the day
                      lays a mistake

Gentility of crystalline lace
taps upon my frigid face
a dance to tongue, snow sip.

 Gentility in a crystal sea,
Soft pitter-pat on canvas tent,
effervescent crescendo,
purest tears of angels;
terra-forma drinks
holy waters,
refreshing
Gaia’s
soul.

Gentility of harmony,
a feather-light caress
heightens the senses.
Gut feeling envelops;
welcome visitors to this 
side of the veil.

Nature
gentility
like the bird upon wings
sails forth into the lives of those
envisioning truths she bestows daily
consumption of her ambrosia’s
sweet upon the spirit
sheer sacredness

Efflorescence in a period of time
As Chicory plant spreads
While arboretum is filled with newly watered seeds
The wild-flower in all its glory blooms

The gentility of the open space soiled
Polluted by the lack of responsibilities...

Chromatic echoes across the walkways;
lamplight casts its hues amid the leaves
revealing the laughter of its spectrum.
Walking together amid the cooling raindrops,
ecstatic vibrance lifts the spirit;
showering respite.

longings
  & desires
can
   become
       aspirations,
personal
  rivulets
to
finesse
the
   intimate
in
  gentility:
envisaged
   with
      candour
upon 
    the
      landcape
of
   revelations..
        ...made...
                 ...aloud...

I saw a yellow butterfly
floating gently in the breeze.
Or was it a lovely flutterby,
glittering softly through the trees?

Her freedom and gentility
were like a graceful ballerina,
flitting here and there and everywhere,
gladdening the heart that has seen her....

We have lost, yet, another imperfect friend.
A family man, whose lapse took decades to amend.
Whose congeniality in gentility will always abide,
whose search for universal equality in us still resides.
Let none who have not serve so reply.
Mourn, Edward Kennedy has died....

Gentility of dove alight and gift
me with your divine insight.
As sister moon in nimbus haze,
her rolling tides do my soul upraise.

In perpetuity I do pray this night
for visions, guidance from the light.
In nature’s sweet kiss and caress
enlighten me and give solace.

Love
     brings out
     tenderness
the
    tenderness
    we each have
within:
a gesture
     splashed with
     gentility
visible,
warm
and true-
our affection
out of all proportion
delighting
in the intimate
excites..
we feel it appear,
flowering
at the
wonder of
everything...

The heat is so oppressive, I’m tempted to agree
Hell couldn’t be any hotter indeed, so I shall flee
To the arctic regions of my air-conditioned home
Becoming a sad recluse like a disconcerted gnome,
Thank goodness, I am a southerner of true gentility
Knowing the intrinsic value of homemade iced tea!

Within soft fluff
paw pads impress
gentility of tree,
in moon’s caress.

Iridescence bright
like brother Sun’s,
lends electric air
when twilight’s begun.

Yet soft, thy shine
upon silken fur;
my heart delights 
to moon glow’s birth.

Ye crystal stars
in sapphire skies
your smiling faces
I joyfully espy.

Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don't claim them. Feel the artistry moving through and be silent.  Rumi

 Fog came in its gentility
Sun in predictability
Cast its radiant light
The sun's sustainability
Touched damp fog's great fragility
With its powerful might

He waits in a sylvan wood
mentor cloaked in
orange and black;
courage is the lesson
of this spirit of prey.

Empirical justice is
the swords he wields;
a traveler of astral light; 
journeyman of the stars.

Daughter of Artemus,
and lifelong totem
hunting ethereal woodlands
sustenance of my soul;
silken-furred guide,
I melt into your gentility...
teach me.

Terrific charmer,blessed and gifted

Invincible love fulfills his heart

Modesty is a reflection of his beliefs

Super dad and  souper spice

Master of words and muses

Incredibly kind to all others

Trustworthy and truthful friend

Heartwarming!His sweet gentility
reaches our soul.

Her voice was soft on the telephone
She had gentility, like the part of the city she once lived

We talked of tragedy and chicory coffee
My friends had told me the situation was still grim

I asked her of Galatoire's and Brennan's
Of the Ninth Ward, and of her home

While I, pining and homesick, sipped coffee the color
Of the mulatto Mississippi River. . .

So polite and patient she was
For one who had lost everything...

Serenity is nature-induced bliss,
bliss of gentle color-kiss.

Kiss that sets the soul alight,
alight in its ecstatic flight.

Flight like birds upon the wing,
wing away in song of spring.

Spring will smile like waxing moon,
moon of planting in full-bloom.

Blooms of cereus in full flowers,
flowers scent wafting through bowers.

She traces line from terra-forma
receptacle arises 
from stalk;
winding flow,
imagery appears as
sepals blanket bud.
Ovule gives way to fruit,
an arising style
with stigma flares pollination;
marriage of pistil and stamen
and a new life is revealed;
a celebratory blush and 
petals shield gentility of bud;
light waves meld with pigment,
a thirsty flower births,
sips mother’s milk as
Gaia sculpts her 3D garden.

You cannot leave your life to chance,
Dancing to the tune of randomness,
& vanity; 
the things that raise the hair on your skin,
You cannot live by bread alone,
And every word that proceeds from the media,
My son, 
the world is a busy market,
Sieve the noise, 
find the music,
Be the eagle’s eye, Find wisdom,
Learn the way of the ant, 
the subtleness of a serpent,
& the gentility of a dove,
Be everything and anything,
Let your mind fly,
Fly my son, Fly....

I want to save you
Since I can’t save me
There’s lots of dust to sift through
But we’ll get there you’ll see

Mistaken paths
Hooded identities
Dissecting parts of halves
Vision starts with remedies

No more counterfeit strategies
We’ll drive the straight line
Try and see if we can finally be free
Speeding the midline drinking moonshine

Just dig down underneath
Find the adventure in anonymity
Vaulting secrets just to breath
Forge the future to clutch gentility...

DEATH
                                                    
Paddle round the world,
Born in one destiny,
The three in one trinity,
Reckon dust, death pave our eternity,
Gathered in one phenomenon and gentility,

Ah Mr. Death, knows none nor age,
wrage old and young in ravage,
Vital instrument you kill,
Beyond couldn’t see,
Oh death thy ways are meek and slow,
Your did harden to be known,
Tears can’t hold the dress it stains;
Death has taken its place.

Although Miss P. was nobility,
Very scarce was her gentility.
She farted and burped.
And soup simply slurped.
Loudly too with no humility.

Let’s marry her off, her mother said.
Her gas is enough to rouse the dead.
Who would take her though?
She can burp a buffalo
Her shirt always full of food when she fed.

They arranged a ball for sweet Miss P.
For those who knew her would not tea.
Her burps made them laugh.
Her farts like a calf.
Amused guests went home laughing with glee....
