Short Gleaned Poems

the rose of Sharon
lily of the valley, gleaned
star of Bethlehem
humble meek and kind, Jesus
eternal, Lion, Lamb...

We gleaned glow
With blood pulled from earth
Oil sifting.
From earth depths 
Battling the awful onslaught
We're drenched turn mirthless...

Pritzker gleaned his mansion of crappers 
for the purpose of not paying taxes
but when his belly gurgled 
alleyways filled with his turds
a homeless gal just sat back and laughed...

Robespierre, Danton and all of those 
crazy French revolution 'heroes' 
had thousands guillotined  
by La Machine that gleaned 
heads; then 'offed' their own midst their wild throes....

Grateful for the old one’s tales,
Admiration and love in their lore.
Gleaned delicately in orange glow.
Natural extension of campfire magic.
Love crackling through hot popping embers....

Threw two trees a heart was seen
Two trees bent, shaped by time and wind
Threw these trees the truth can be gleaned
Hards times shape, make, and blend


(Threw in this instance means strategic place.)...

who captures a faerie’s dreams?
Do they float forever?
Are they stopped by no one?
Does the cosmos swallow them up?
Are they in the ether to be gleaned by the empaths?
Who captures a faerie’s dreams?
Who?...

S warmed despair,
O paqueness gleaned among cold air,
L ingering…I linger, linger, linger….
A wakening virtue devoured my sleeping soul,
C onjuring my intuition…reviving,
E nlivening, as I kneel down and pray…...

   PLACED IN GENEALOGY
   CHOOSE NEW WEATHER
   BECAME MOTHER...

If not for curling iron, 'twould be tragic

Telling stories from other's she's gleaned
Patrons leave as though renewed estatic  ...

upon

forest floor lie

underneath decaying

from yesteryear changing seasons

long past gleaned comforter of summers green

solace in soundlessness hollow,

nature's

Time’s passing
By Miracle Man
10-26-2019

Some facts I’ve gleaned from having long life,
Age makes a Pit Bull become a Chihuahua pup.
But lacking wisdom, it can’t avoid strife,
It still barks loud but can’t back it up.

Poets are only fettered by the depth and breadth of imagination
Words flow from their minds, gleaned memories for inspiration

Grey clouds slow streamed across a dark sky line
Day then was when I gleaned  a clearer sign
Way through the dark redeemed to brightening shine
Ray beams that cleaned my vision now benign
Play warm on harvest reamed to sweeter wine
May light a world I dreamed of future fine...

May gentle peace be yours
In all you say and do
And may blue skies follow you
In your daily work time too

May every day dawn new and clean
Crisp of sound and sprouting green
And may the gifts and rewards be yours
In your twilight hours as gleaned.

Upon the forest floor lie
trees of yesteryear forced by
changing seasons long past gleaned
comforter of summers greened.

Nature doesn't bow to restraints 
devours walls with  an embrace.
Grace solace with no complaints, 
stretched tight among time and space.

Did I need anything
All that I need so I need
 is from Him 
all the things that I gleaned 
I've gotten from Him
Elohim He is my king
 of everything 
And all the things 
that I've got in life
 I've got from Him

How blissful natures pause reigns		
the vibratory hum greedily gleaned		

Cicadas buzz call transport
the soft rustle of maples branches sport 

The three-part tune “whip poor will” 		
The acorns rattle on the window sill		

All of natures silent prizes
Bring joy and wonder in silent guises....

Her allure blooms in musty shops
Held on silver bands of celtic lores

A foretelling of ancient paths...

Of twilight-caught scarlet raindrops
Of visions gleaned through fateful doors

Of spells whispered to Welsh hilltops

A mystic gem on Wiccan staff
My opal of demure witchcraft

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!
golden godsend...

POETRY
~~~~~~
poetry, compassionate emotion!
each word a tiny piece of a poet 
their soul exposed, their total devotion
often best read or seen in a sonnet

inspiration gleaned from nature, poets
collaborations, poetic duets.
if poetry be the food of true love
so music is too, the starter thereof...

Life would not be such a mystery
If we gleaned from yesterday's success.

If we learned from our failures in history,
We would appreciate how much we are blessed.

If we would complain less
And give to others our very best,
And into their lives plant seeds,
Offering more than we have received;
Ours would be a life that lives to give.

Routine raindrops gleaned from our dining den
watered well the roots of cordial conversation -
table talks in our Kansas kitchen. 
Stems sprouted with buds of daily dialogue
family folklore…  nightly news.
Mom firmly forbade motormouth magpies;
we country kids flowered with vocal verve.

Through that door I passed again;
wandering dark corridors;
searching dreamscapes for my bliss;
inky songs revealed.

Colors splashed upon a page;
a canvas of emotions
painted by me in the night;
insomniac dreams.

Awaken now, precious muse
and sing with jubilation.
Let’s celebrate my dream-mind,
wisdom gleaned within.
