Short Gif Poems

I am a child of the internet

I am a biography

An ‘about me’

A relationship status.

.

If I’m lucky someone will GIF me

If not I’ll die nothing

But a hoarded URL....

Nevermore talking
Ravens perched and wait for me
Nevermore walking
To carry me off to my eternity
Over to the land of the shadow
Across the dark river I go

Deep Purple Violet

Deep purple Violet – hiding and quiet –
 Beneath the forest greens;
Carefully we search for you
 Or your dainty face hidden – not seen.

Nestled in a quiet place -
 Modest in many hues -
Amethyst, purple, sometimes mauve,
 A joyful surprise finding you.

Orangey

burnt almond hues

color

the horizon

as Sol's chariot

arches by

like a

glowing sphere

tinting

crystalline

snow and ice 

to a coppery

terracotta ocher

as

it rises and sets.

Inhale 
   the last you will  
of this planet’s wholesome gift

blowing out  grey cells
     and bits of a life

    ..distance.. 
until a stranger
   

with two
     puffed eyes

and clouded vision

To God who is the giver of every good gifT,
Hereby I tell my thanks for giving me faitH,
All His grace to me is like a special umbrellA,
Nudging me in the right path of transformatioN,
Keeping me close to His cross - love's hallmarK,
Showering mercy. Gratitude is spontaneouS.

Goldfish stuck inside a bowl,
tiny is your space!
Simple is that bowl you're in,
yet you lend it grace.

Goldfish in that tiny bowl
with your orange hue,
softly shimmer your small fins.
It's all you can do!

Were I in your circumstance,
I would feel bereft,
knowing barely could I turn
either right or left!

Soundly,
... blindly low Sun races across the skies;
 old run out from Mountainside; 
streaking from South toward West role playing alone;
Walk across the pearl clouds shown;
Horizons celsius brilliant ball Flames toil;
Planet yellow ball moves boiled;
Lo, sunset rides,  morning or evening giuse;

Lavish pink mingles in purple pastures 
An amalgam of foam in seraphic blue 
Vena cava diffuses mauve melancholy 
Effulgent splashes lulling tidal shores 
Nostalgic desires flutter in savoir-faire
Droning all drowsy, a fragrant love affair
Enchanted bells tinkle, as bees meander 
Ripples of essence in vales of lavender.

feeling trapped
at my wit’s end
going stir crazy
without a friend

spinning round in circles
in stagnant flow
no use rushing
nowhere particular to go

all I do is watch
as others carry on
they go thru life
having tons of fun

but in my bubble
prisoner of my own world
round and round I go
my solitude unfurled

Outside the hospice,
a crow's raucous cry portends
a stark sense of foreboding

Change is in the air
the death knell sounding at dusk
An end of a life is nigh?

Mom says she doesn't text in letters, I answer IK
She says she isn't going to learn whatever is IDK

When she is waiting for me I tell her BRB
And she asks me what is a GIF or a JPG

I will try to show her how to use them ASAP
When I get the text back later that its NYOB

So I send back an uplifting LMAO
I plan to tell her why its IMO

She replies with understanding: IK now what IDK
Is that a PIC is a JPG and asks if maybe IDK

Roll and roll along, my golden sun,
for with this sweet bright day you gifted me,
my heart and soul forever you have won.

My love and I leave footprints by the sea.
Roll and roll along, my golden sun
and keep my true love golden next to me.

Yes, roll and roll along, my golden sun.
I want for you to ever roll along.
Roll on and never let this day be done!

Die reptiel vrou
Het my alweer geflous 
Met my gedeel, haarself ontbloot, 
en toe
Die bitter gif gespoeg

Dit vloei uit my bors uit, deur my are
Verander my bloed - haar bloed
Word swart, taai, en koud
Soos haar hart 
 
***

The reptile woman
Has fooled me again
Shared with me, exposed herself
and then
Spat out the bitter venom 

It flows out of my chest, through my veins
Changes my blood - her blood
Becomes black, sticky, and cold
Like her heart...
