Short Long Winded Poems

Boasted sunrises
And champagne sunsets fizzle
Long winded best men

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

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....

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....

the cold refreshment
sweeps through the redtop mountains -
the sunny-blue wind
~   ~   ~
pleasure of rolled down windows
and grandson’s afternoon nap

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

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...

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

Now he is:
   pithy...

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...

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......

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?...

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....

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.

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!...

P oems are always read and commented
O n even if I sometimes don't understand the meaning
E veryone deserves a point of view
M ine may be short and sweet or long winded
S howing you I took the time.

R eading does take some time
E veryone  likes your comments
A lways make a comments we
D esire an opinion of any sort....

If you were long-winded
but no pun in ten did,
do you lack humor’s art,
or was that a long fart?

Once a pun, a thyme, a sage
got tossed for smoking in a bar;
It seems bad jokes are not in season;
close, but no cigar.

A glutton for punishment -
Never sausage a thirst!
He grinned at the butcher,
Now, give me your wurst!

Sitting waiting, waiting for the light,
anticipating the retreat of the night.
The mallards have gathered awaiting their feeding.
They always appear to be fiercely competing.
A song birds trill permeates the air,
spilling out it's chords, tender, fair.
A boisterous crow joins the conversation.
 Flying to and fro with his long winded explanation.
The full moon fades tucked somewhere far away,
as nature greets a brand new day....

Autumn shrugs off summer 
like Alzheimer's shrugs off
wit, slowly and methodically;
purposeful and nonchalant. 
This dire deterioration
welcomes dank darkness,
chilling and finite, 
long-winded and overbreathed.
October winds shake and stir
the very foundations of our
civilizations, and rock the 
metaphorical boat of blissful
nesciance; eventually capsizing
the bleeding vessel, until its
veins run dry with
suffocation....

Internal sunshine in a bag that burns a hole in my pocket
Holding the black ink that spreads like cancer throughout the intricacies of my mind
I feel as though I'm running out of time
I haven't lost my breath yet
But, I do feel distance
A very long winded distance in between short memory lapses during all of those moments
If there is a race I'd like to drop out of my own
There's nothing to win
And, definitely no surprise when it all ends
Just you in the dark walking alone...
