Toasts

Boasted sunrises
And champagne sunsets fizzle
Long winded best men

Sorry if I'm not on more. Life. Here's a new one.

Skyward

A long-winded breeze
carry a blue plastic bag
toward the sky.
I look
at strength
in sun's heat.
Of the warmest season
of the year.

Be More Like Dogs

People should be more like dogs
And stop resembling hogs
When at a meeting 
They should sniff each other’s seating
And stop the long-winded monologues.

Premium Member In the Vault with Walt

Some say...Walt Whitman's the poet's champ!

His works were well read, by dim oil lamp.

But, oh so long winded,

Those words never ended...

Woe, ritual champ of reader's cramp

Long Winded

I wrote a poem,
it was long winded,
but I'm posting this one,
because I binned it,
and as it went,
it was an accident,
and with the bin full of goo,
save that poem I wouldn't do.

Deepest Short Poem

Brief poem,
              I relish it...
              Weighs deeper,
              is deeper than
              the repetitive,
              the long-winded,
              the superfluous 
              one...

The Art of Listening

How many of us

Have people in our lives

Short breathed on concern

Long winded on advice

Who would rather flap the tongue

Than take the time to find

That the art of listening

Is painted with open mind

Premium Member Before and After

He used to be:
   wordy, verbose, prolix,
   chatty, jejune, digressive,
   tedious, long-winded, repetitive,
   elaborate, grandiloquent, loquacious,
   pretentious, comprehensive, circumlocutory

Now he is:
   pithy

Premium Member Gossiping With Zephyrs

Green!
Alive
on tall grass,
blithe, lithe, limber,
swaying long and lean
in their beachy masses.
The deadpan sand eavesdrops as
breezes wave blades like silk banners.
Whispers whir with emerald voices;
long-winded grass gossiping with zephyrs.

Sleeping Beauty


to fatigue a woman
via satiny sleep
is my forte
 any lady I can send into repose
   my formula seems a grand success
     I recite my long winded poetry

sleeping beauty falls
     endlessly
   into coma
as I weep
	she sleeps

ghastly grimy gruesome greedy gray ghost
happily haunts Henry’s hoarder habitat
igniting icy incredulity
jiggery-pokery jimjams justified
kismet keeping kowtowing kin keen
lighthearted lively long-winded laggard laughs
magnifying mystical malefactor’s mysteriousness

The Taste of Bitterness

Just like the sea won't let the waves escape
but reels them back in again and again
to frothy, crested peaks,
so goes the man, who bitterness keeps.
A barreling undercurrent, tumultuous pull
which drags you back under, long-winded until
you don't know the sky from the water...

The Fumblin Poet Is At Lost For Words

fumblin poet
can't find her words
long-winded
picture eraser
leaky pens
skeptic readers
negative comments
wishin of a crowd to fit in
delirium in sentences
naturalist in haiku
cute couplet
abstract like a free verse
fumblin poet has many words
which way will they come out?

Rhythm Effects

I love the strings of violins,
Cool tunes vibrating,
Slippery and smooth.

I've soaked within long-winded horns,
Melodies haunting,
Languid and luring.

I'm lifted up in dulcet flutes,
Blithe rhythms flirting,
Airy and ambulent.

I'm enrapt in vibes of organs,
Echos oscillating,
Intricately interlaced.

Premium Member Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Such a long-winded line!
Still for me it is fine
Slips and rolls off the tongue
Simply meant to be sung
Sense it lacks by design.
Surveys give it a like,
Same to Andrews/Van Dyke.

Brevity

It's a crime that brevity
is ruined by the boor
who wallows in verbosity
'til I can bear no more!

Be brief in your delivery,
is all that I would stress,
essentials are what's needed
not the ramblings of excess.

If you're prone to be loquacious
best avoid my company;
long-winded dissertations
bring the devil out in me!

Life be uncivilized 

Some days,

No heads-up-

Still we walk onward  like fire 
Won't fold us.

Pain
Runs late,

Lurking,

Long- winded existing 

But we keep living like  loss

Can't lock our light.

Hope
Hits hard,

Lifting 

Low Spirits-

Letting lost legends  lean

Back into their vigor.

P oems are always read and commented
