Short Joann Poems

One 
pure dew
drop rests on
a tall blade of
grass occupied by 
a ladybug,
who takes a
dainty
sip.

rejoice for rain,
more aqua for smooth mating,
egg laying...

I said
to your heart
what's on my mind
would you love me more
or would you run
away from
me and
love.

Crude oil drilling
Dark viscous liquid

Becomes valuable
When first distilled

Automobiles
Cause pollution
More dollars for firms.

O-f the morning
A-s the night passes by, 
N-ever close your eyes to new dawn
N-ext day.

my old sports car’s
fun, eye-catching plates

tossed in the trunk of
my new sedan

part of my joy
unrenewed. . . . like
those vanity plates

Each unique sunrise

Varied colors_ shades
Decorate sky

Autumn is calling
The majestic leaves
Beauty in color
Breeze blows cool
Within shorter days

The morning sun
wakes me with old songs

My open window
invites them in

Tho' eyes are closed,
I see the place  
where doves called my name

The huge pot
Filled with summer's impatiens
Adorned by snowny white blossoms 
And delicate green leaves
Whipped by fall's hurricane

Cold delight
Desired evening
It’s pure ecstasy

Good

  against diseases
  coupled with nice

Amber skyline
Drapes midnight’s ceiling

Tints of luster fade
Airbrushed with mist

Wafts gently twirl 
In a slow dance
To warm earth’s repose

Placid water,
smooth surface untouched

reflects the moonlight
in silver bows.

Breezy love songs
weave glazed ribbon.
Luna serenades.

Your bald raw beauty.
On my way to the barber.
To be as stunning.

Cancer took your breast away.
Yet your heart remains so sweet.

Passionate eyes
Compassionate tears

Free flowing down cheeks
Of tender skin

Keeping eyes close
Loves great caress
Sending waves of joy

childhood disrupted
by a fight against cancer
changed a young girl's life

renewed her for all to love

DIAMONDS


Each little tear
Flows rapidly down

Washing the stain from
A blooded soul

Diamonds fall
Costly release
Fast repaired spirit

Babe

feeling  like dancing
on fluffy clouds of colorful petals
inhaling the  heaven scents
as I imagine an autumn
