Frosted mist glides down
Highlighting polished glass orbs
Crystal bedecked boughs...

Artist Patrick Caulield
to poineering Pop he did yield
Mass media shapes he did shine
highlighting with a black outline...

Today is similar to yesterday,
Quite possibly a preview of tomorrow,
Repetition of sameness,
Highlighting moments of miracle....

I can still
hear her boots
hit pavement

As she walks
Down the street
By herself

The moonlight
highlighting
her movements...

Strange greens
and burning reds 
in flecks of cobalt blue-
highlighting his painted world of
colour

Tribute to the art of Oskar Kokoschka...

highlighting red nails

while playing the piano

camera is mean

to the foreigner Minto

he can wear what nails he likes

stream of warmth
spotlight highlighting path
as welcome as hot springs in a river
I walked into her, feeling cherished and beloved
knowing I was not alone in these woods...

evergreen and pine
cinnamon candles

dull light of candle
a flickering flame
highlighting New Year’s

Christmas is over

Your faded blue jeans
Threadbare at the knee
The morning sunlight
Highlighting your hair
My heartbroken tears
Fall on your grave

Hey Tom Cunningham, you could help bring Putin down,
Plastic surgery has made him into a legendary clown,
Ridicule him whilst highlighting his inhumanity,
Mock him but telling of his insanity,
Advise him his plastic surgeon should give him a frown...

When they're at their peek of brightness

She ties ribbons around the stars

She's been told by some, they like this

Highlighting who it is they are

Outside she spends her evenings

At the edge of her front yard

Reaching into the constellations

Tying ribbons around the stars...

Love is a trilogy
Held always in our hearts
Its fragrance captures one
Right from the start

Love is a Ballet
Explosion of emotion
That spins our senses
In a dizzying pirouette

Love casts silhouettes
Soft and gently spun
Highlighting all they touch
In colourful hues...

The sun dips behind forest trees
There is a moment to say please
Spread your rays as far as this hill
This time of day, for light to spill
Across the land, through the window
Highlighting things I want to know
It hurries with breath of wind’s sigh
I rush to watch and say goodbye

Cowards cower here
Highlighting all of their fears
With all of their tears

We foresaw the fall
From dilapidated walls
And heartbroken calls

They may have one eye
But it's filled with shallow lies
Festering like flies

Cowards cower here
They lack strength in lonely years
They are not our peers

 Just a splash of color
on a rotting stump;
golden waves of pigment
spread on a brown canvas.

Orange spatters intermingle
with yellow polka-dots
and the newborn smiles
highlighting the essence.

Happiness is a blossom
of pigments in nature;
a time-lapse painting,
lightening the heart.

The epitome of frowziness
Unkempt, with a dash of wild
Stylishly disheveled
Beneath an unexpected
Yellow bow.

Soft stains accentuate
The drape of her dress
Highlighting invisible features
Pencil drawing
On a moving canvas

Gliding smoothly
In unlaced ballet slippers
Leaving no trace
But the hint
Of her presence...

Sitting in the solitary 
at the break of dawn
the grass glistens
with the morneing dew
sitting on a hill

Suddenly a glow 
a beautiful array of colours creeping across the horizon 
highlighting the sky 

A glorious sun 
awakning from it's rest
ready to bring the day
to shine it's light
on all human knind
and bring a million smiles....

to empathise
To see the world through poets eyes
To feel surprise
To feel the world through poets sighs
To waken to a clearer way to see
The little hidden touches of a brush
 highlighting what was missed in all the rush
Perhaps a glint of hidden joy
In eyes of what was once a little boy
Or just a telehug to ease a rift
Re anchoring another set adrift
To empathise...

Upon the waking hours of each tomorrow
The sun bequeaths its lovely rays to the earth
Highlighting us in spirit, warmth and inspiration
With new day’s dreams and new chances for rebirth
The grey and dampened clouds become defeated
As the sun’s rapier sharp rays force on through
To reach the very earth, providing heated splendor
And to brighten everything in life and all we do...

Introducing Kenn Nesbitt, my choice for funny poet
Producing giggle poetry kids appreciate
Inducing guffaws that infect others with laughter
Sluicing silly nonsense on subjects kids can relate

Exciting themes on homework and animals Kenn writes.
Inciting worldwide laughs, in all this absurdity
Highlighting the imagination of any child
Inviting you to share this world of frivolity...

Let poetry torrentially flood
the public's heart that it may
become their worldwide asset,
nourishing generation to generation
with artistic words,
flourishing the sweet happy life.

Imparting the generous heart
which bonds the people,
highlighting the beauties
in every ugly view.
Quieting the cries
that would have been heard,
and with soul, weaving their love
for each other....

Invisible to sight
As it circulates around
Moving to and fro
Without the slightest sound

Made were we wholly
Of it quite profound
All of us were
On this planet round

Through trials and tribulations
When the trumpets of war sound
When our hearts beat so strongly
Its swirling presence can't be found

Then if settles quietly
On once turbulent ground
Highlighting imperfection
To those homeward bound...

Giving me subtle clues they don't care
Asking me to work 9 hour shifts without a lunch break
Staying late and arriving early every shift
Lying to myself about the sciatica shooting down my leg
Intrinsically frustrated with my life
Giving it all despite the inevitable fall
Highlighting the fool in my heart
Too much of a team player to give up

Makes me wish I didn't care
Even though I enable my self-destruction

--QUOTE me RUMI--


Pains
grief
they shake
a man's stance
but by lights of love
sense and wisdom shall flower bright.
In love's eyes wounds and scars are never a disaster;
they are all the colorful curvaceous petals highlighting your everlasting grace.
