Short Intermittently Poems

Green fluorescent glow
lights up his cell
bombs explode intermittently
leaving mushroom clouds...

Tree shadow laughing
Underneath ivory puffs
Intermittently

Softly the wind forms a silent breath
Whispering intermittently between frets
Calming her fury she listens intently
The call of the wind beckons serenely...

My emotions get the best of me - intermittently.
I preserve them in poems,
like fluffy dinosaur feathers in amber, 
because emotions never last, 
as our present becomes our past, 
they flicker, like lightning bugs and disappear....

Humid day
BY; TOM
2006

Clouds intermittently perspiring; 
Can’t call it “Sweating With The Oldies”,
Clouds newly formed.
Thunder echoes across the Heavens,
Is God teasing?
Or will Ernestine’s car
Finally get washed?

I carve and cut my quarters from a cork tree
Intermittently pausing to assess my progress
Young yet yellowing Yggdrasil on the Yangtze 
Getting grander but perishing in the process
Good God gaze at this gape and give a guarantee
Don't let me regress, digress, transgress, or obsess

intermittently 
when shadows
undulate
on walls
i see you
reaching out
as if trying
to comfort me
in these
moments
i miss you
most

nights
seem
as long
as the years
passing by
without you

in a plashet
of tears
i lie here
motionless
as the shadows
fade out
like life

seemingly
i am alone
again...

I am irritated that people do not drive any more
They are so busy texting, they do not get the big picture.
They look up intermittently, but not often enough
Not realizing that every truck and car is a potential weapon
Until one hits them head on
By then it may be too late
Is texting” I will be there in five” really that important?...

Leaf Mold
Thoughts for 10-27-2016

Soon I’ll be viewing naked trees,
Leaves will lie inactive on the ground.
Moved only by a northerly breeze,
Often betrayed by a rustling sound;

Intermittently, as in years past, 
They’ll pause to relax awhile. 
That’s when I’ll blow, rake, and mulch,
Into my gardens compost pile;

The birds are busy and the chipmunk play
For them, it is a fun day
Raindrops fall intermittently on leaves and ground
Acorns bounce in the grass to be found
Only a little yellow of autumn’s color has begun
Still shining wet, without the sun
Even on a dim day, shining things can be seen
Like every caring gesture, that outweighs what’s mean

Baggage within 
      trappings of illusions,
love packed away
  in neat little compartments
gathering cobwebs at
     makeshift improvisations, 
dusting intermittently
      if by chance a light
           should shine,
never wholly untangling 
    the snare
mid a labyrinth of
      transparent entrapment,  
as violin strings continue
      to unlatch the same old key...

lies they lie always

                         disgruntled voters vote disgruntledly

disgustingly 

facist racist noises           eminate      appeal to


               ignorance idiocy intervenes

The rocks in water 
like words, between 
the tears. 
Quasi-pain, reverberating 
like a river.

It flows? 
intermittently. The lava 
of an active volcano. 
You want to cover 
the smashed skull.

The mirror 
breaks, under the shock. 
It had never happened before. 
A nude streaking 
on the screen.

The moon had nothing 
to offer. Over and spent. 
It moves on its axis 
ungoverning? 
the stars.

Today, I sit 'mongst thoughts of erstwhile sorrows,
Which intermittently ooze from my intellect's hub;
Reminiscing three young men granted no tomorrows,
Bequeathing displeasing whispers I'd like to scrub.

Reopened today, are aggrieves, from past years,
In seemingly blameless doings they were caught;
Causing a mother's eyes to be ensconced with tears
Exposed was man's detriment to sin's onslaught.


in memory of three young men from my town....

The February full moon stirred
A wintery blustering
Wind that roared through the neighborhood
Like an out-of-control freight train.
The stark, naked trees swayed wildly
In a ceremonial dance
While low-growing tree branches touched
Intermittently the ground
In swift, servile genuflections.
Then for an abbreviated
Lull, an eerie silence prevailed
Within this moonlit quietude
Until the winds bellowing voice
Was heard echoing its return....

Frothy lavender chiffon swirled around the young beauty
Rustling in an almost silent delicate, dainty manner
Her essence so cosmic that the skies emulated her loveliness
The heavens opened up to envelope her into the landscape

Many who saw recognized spirituality and hope taking place
Some watched reverently full of mystified awe and wonder
Almost everyone who witnessed her remembered this day
Intermittently through the rest of their life....

Winter arrived without warning
snow quickly sprinkles white 
 soft fluffy flakes ---floating---
plummeting to the ground below
crystal prisms dance 
intermittently  in the sunlight
 landscape now takes on 
a bleak ghostly shade of white
devoid of all colors 
 compared to falls dramatic colors
warm air changes to cold
temperatures continue to drop
liquid  forms to ice
snow piles mount 
creating dune like formations
white dust blows---swirling---
with winter snow

Memory plays ‘hide-and-seek’.
Mind is a sorry seeker in this game.
A doctor prescribes to cure ‘the void’.
It’s a learned hypocrisy.

Words clash one another on Mrs.Pathu’s
tongue and fall down meaninglessly.
Infancy is reborn in the wet
shade of her Alzheimer’s.

Memory sets in her present
and rises in her past.
Intermittently falling beams
glare in her eyes.

She bobs up and down like the jetsam 
on the waves.
Now, life announces
its retrieval in doleful tones....

Stuff

The paraphernalia of life,
Memories collected,
Emotions rejected,
Gathered over time

The appurtenances of life,
Possessions collected,
At times rejected
Accessories thought necessary

The accouterments of life
Beliefs collected
Sometimes rejected
Always evolving, always growing

The appendages of life
Friends collected
None rejected
Perhaps at times disconnected

The stuff of life
Constantly collected
Intermittently rejected 
Yet cherished wholeheartedly...
