Short Meekly Poems

Tendrils so meekly
Come over to meet me- looms!
Pink rays, stings, oh ouch!...

you never know 
when the record player strikes 
and vinyl floats and sums

pop stars melt down 
to ordinary people 
while female choir sings meekly...

In my baby diaper i sang
Then motherly songs never slang
Lullaby welcomes me home meekly
In me lies hope boldly
But i still remain a child in the gang...

It seems that Biden's term soon goes,
And is replaced by whom? Nobody knows.
  So may I meekly propose
  He who now controls,
That Devil from hell, George Soros....

Looks for birds in the bush
to preach vague salvation,
and they listen meekly
if he is the man of God
loaded with divine words
tipped with fire of truth
that no creature can ignore
his success flies in clouds...

The duck plunged under water
but unable to endure
the headstrong falcon followed him
beneath the meekly sewer

While falcon’s feathers all were soaked
Duck rose in the air
and mocked the bird of prey
who was drowning there....

passive
meekly living
willingly giving up
our chance to create and live out
our dream

Meek looks so mild
But can be wild


Seek to be clear
With happy cheer


Peek as you look
To deeper books


Geek can be cool
To play the fool


Meek moments kind
Bring peace of mind

In front of the class
she obediently stands
her fingers locked in cradled hands
with downcast eyes and trembling lip
she leaks a tear that sears her soul
then meekly voiced 
and barley heard 
she mumbles what she thinks the teacher wants.

A flower,
head meekly bowed, 
drops crumbling petals. 

Her blossom,
once vibrant and proud, 
pleads for yesterday.

The clock face,
looks down from the wall,
pitiless and cold.

His allure 
too great for beauty 
to ever deny.

I drowned in the ocean of tranquilly
I was like driftwood
turning deeply in the empathic sea

My orbs
became my listening device
soft mud preserved my rib cage

In the eyes of the believer
I sojourn  meekly
anointing the hereafter
hungry like Lazarus
with my long knows...

Easy breezy mystery
Freely fancy harmony


Crazy buzzy factory
Timely spicy ecstasy


Weirdly wisely comedy
Truly creepy tragedy


Simply sadly melody
Richly wrongly fantasy


Meekly mildly mindfully
Easy breezy mentally

Muted swans in silent waters
watch as swallows spiral upwards
far away into the distance.
Vibrant flowers lose their beauty,
Fading, wilting, meekly dying
as the summer's sad surrender
honours autumn's golden reign.

Timely trickle
Softly drizzle


Meekly mindful
Simply fruitful


Rainy weather
Restful dreamer


Window blurry
Raindrops scurry


Sleepy slumber
Heavy sleeper


Chilly charade
Dreamy parade


Blanket warming
Pleasant dreaming

In the midst of midnight twilight 
sleep meekly fades in the moonlight. 
Umber earth and men encumber, 
nature’s chatter, charmed in slumber.
Tranquil dreams of peace, no sorrow, 
thankful for light of tomorrow.
Epic heartbeats waves break away 
warm cinders soothe the moment stay.

It’s only make believe, I know
But in my fondest dream I go
To some resplendent mountain peak
To gain the precedent I seek
Whereby the wisdom of the Son
Who meekly died for everyone
Is turn the other cheek.

quiet happy on this side
fear a brutal blanket
that covers predicted loss
without fear would we even strive
or meekly live this life
Heroes know fear
cowards know nothing else
Without fear the monsters 
never noticed
and love forever stained
Raise a class of cheer
For the champion of the world
our closest friend our fear...

A fat tiger sat beside her;
it settled down, began to purr
The girl, Anita, said, “Oh My.”
quietly, trying not to cry.
“You want to eat me up”? She said
“put your big teeth around my head?”
To her surprise, the tiger spoke
“not just now,” he said, half in joke.
“Why not?” She asked, rather meekly
“‘cause I only eat once weekly.”...

Every morning I look on yonder
Staring meekly across the way as I ponder
The lawn is green, and the house is nice
Cabinets stuffed with vegetable, meat and spice

The longer I linger the more envy I gain
My thoughts start to swirl around in my brain
I feel a weight in my chest that I have to unload
So I head on over to The other side of the road...

Casually callow
superficial and shallow
this young media fellow.

Lordly and light
trivial and trite,he sat
filling the moment with tat.

Sketchily slight
meekly absorbing
every sound bite.

Clips so neat
in endless repeat    the spin
with an endless grin.

In-depth review so lacking
as instant opinions abound
impartiality missing  unfound....

t flits gracefully,
freely,meekly,beautifully,
so high into the sky,

capturing your attention,
mesmerizing not to mention,
in all its glorious perfection,
earning all your affection,

without a warning,
without a trace,
it goes,
and you are left without nothing,
wavering and lingering,

realizing shockingly
that the butterfly effect has effected......

A mulking it's agaluk
It sits high in proud symbololic
the winding capesmen
swindling down it's ivenya branch
A dull move for it's majected lanch
a walking man sees ten
It boldly sweeks blin
A watch from the gaven's eye
speeks anogon boutful surprise
meekly wandanla , A shooting star
sweeps at the moving speech
A nudeful sound so nar

Bleeds
Pleads
Begs
Love leaks down his sleeve
Bone and bristle
Heart reaped
Soul raped
A broken man with homeless face
Waiting
Meekly at hells fiery gates
Dreams in a bottle
Messages from above
Broken glass cuts deep
Into rivers red of bloody consumption
The earth takes what the pregnant give
Spitting away
The butterflies
That hover and hope
For better days...

He walked beneath the olives’ shade,
In silence, deep as night’s descent,
With all the world’s great sorrows laid
Upon His shoulders, meekly bent.

The wine He poured, the bread He broke,
He shared with love, though none would see
That He would bear the final yoke,
And lift the weight of misery.

Blood and water, mingled, flowed—
A gift, unbound, to light the road....

Feel fancy frame
Niche nimble name


Touch tender thrills
Seed sensuous spills


Live lovely laze
Dream drowsy daze


Come caress cheer
Nurture notes near


Wear wisdom well
Dive deeper dwell


Words wander wild
Cruise chirpy child


Be beyond blind
Feel fashions find


Feel fest freely
Mind moves meekly
