Short Jitter Poems

Do the electric slide
  Dare to boogie woogie
  Discover calypso
  Dazzle with jitter bug
  Dip to the beat and glide
  Delight to do the bump!
  Draw her close and tango

Tinker's wand like glitter bomb
Leaves sparkle and twinkle waste
All over the place.

Glints that arise from the deep blue sea
To ride as litter on ripple crests
Shimmering sea of fairy lights.

Jitter bug's bitter slug with glitter
Makes seascape an embittered blinding emitter....

Leave the shudder,leave the agony.
Do not let love get hurt.
Leave the shudder, leave the agony.
True love you does not lie then.
Do you love then you open up.
Look,you are afraid not to leave us.
Leave the jitter,learn to fight.
Do love to tell us so I love you.
Leave the shudder, leave the agony.
Do not let love get hurt....

Awaken to citrine sky as   
Birds are heaven bound 
Canvas rich true complementary colors spun.
Delight sensation of sweet scent does tease,
Enchanting pink sunshade trees intertwine
Fervor poetic strokes in cherry blossoms.
Glide through, as time sweeps away a
Humble early morning light.
Impressionistic intrinsic appearance, 
Jitter to tomorrow’s mystic splendor.

Devil take it, drunk again.
Evil was that vile Cocktail
magnificent though it seemed at the time.
Olive was very bitter and hard
Never again my head hums at me.

Dram of malt whisky finished things off.
Rum and rice wine sure don't mix
Indigestion the least of my worries.
Nerves are all a jitter, hands shaking
Keep still I in vain bid them.
Storm clouds fill my stomach I flee to the loo....

Garish showcase 
in your front display;
jitter impatiently
for next payday.

Martyrs pay debts,
not collect them;
you swipe crosses
with your plastic pets.

Pennies for pupils
advertise the cost:
far steeper
than you thought.

Go steal a wish
from some pauper fountain.
Faith immovable?
"Just buy the mountain!"

The deals you’re making are unjust.
All that glitters turns to dust....

Walking along a path
my toes grabbed hold tight;
right in front of me 
two dark beauties danced.

Twirling round each other
circling up and down
faster and faster
off to play tag.

First one chasing
then the other
never more than 
inches apart.

I watched in awe
amused by their waltz
or maybe more like
the jitter bug.

Then they were off
one, one way
the other another
up into a tree.

Her, an abstract art
Whom he finds difficult to understand
Truly inaugurated by Almighty's heart
Her, an expensive brand

Her aura enlightens
The dim & dead
Morning brightens
As she communicates eye to eye & head to head

He gets jitter while confronting her slaughtering smile
Barely manages to talk
Since her only job is to send him exile
Yet above all is her seductive cat walk

His highness
Take heed of his shyness...

Just listen to that sax
                                                jam and jitter and stray.
                                    Jaunty beats and wild notes
                        jump around as I swing
                                    jiving to the music.
                                                Jiggling and grooving, we
                                                      join in that soul train dance.

Where is Twitter?
Who is or what is X?
I do not mean Super X?
I want to tweet a rumor
I was away for a few days
I am back. Now, I feel dazed
I am confused and mad
Where is Twitter?
I am amused and sad
I lost my sense of humor
And I hate to jitter
Where is Twitter?
I am calling Captain X
Who’s living in SpaceX
For Mr. Mrs. or Ms. X.

sky gold
                              sunset glory
                      veil horizon ~ meet you 
               at quiet dusk ~ birds return nest 
                                 last rays

                                sky gold 
                           gossamer light
                     watch daybreak together 
                cascade of love in twinkling eyes
                              hearts jitter

My brains all higgledy-piggledy,
My ears are bamboozled with sound,
My muscles are all of a jitter,
My heart is beginning to pound,
My vision is like a kaleidoscope,
The room is spinning around.
Get me out of this bedlam!

Get me out into nature, where
My thoughts begin to untangle,
My ears relax to the sweet sounds of birds,
My muscles are less of a jangle,
My eyes gaze up to clouds in the sky,
My body is out of its strangle,
Sigh
My heart is at peace.
