Short Milliner Poems

Hot Apple Cobbler

Hot apple cobbler, crumbly sweet cinnamon atop,
Vanilla ice cream melting; not wasting a drop!

Signs of Autumn

Autumnal equinox,
Unpredictable weather,
Turning leaves,
Unique colors,
Magnificent sights of,
Nature’s beauty!

The Wind

Billowing trees, rustling leaves,
Moving objects through its breeze.
Cold air rushing down the path,
Just a figment, of nature’s wrath!

Silent Tears

As I reflect back on that day,
I cry silent tears,
As I think about tomorrow,
I cry silent tears,
As I pray for the world today,
I cry silent tears.

Let's go to the apothecary shop
  -- Ah, it's closed over the noon hour
We'll stop by the milliner then 
  -- I see. It's closed then too...

I guess we'll just be forced to play
'Peek-a-Boo' at the Local Loo...

No Words Spoken

Tip-toed footsteps, enters the room,
Eyes tight closed, refuse to move.
Light sweet scent, of Jasmine perfume,
Soft touching hands, bowed gift, approved!

A Christmas Memory

Oh, Christmas tree glowing bright,
Your halo Angel lights the night.
Garland of silver dressed to impress,
Snowflakes adorn your holiday dress.

Easter Sunday


Early to church, for the AM service flow,
Songs of affirmation, as the Pastor welcomes the foal. 
Excitement is in the air, signs of love and sacrifice,
On this resurrection Sunday, symbols’ of restored life.

Keepsakes From Mom

You left me your Butterfly pins, your coin collection too,
Albums’ full of photographs, and several pairs of shoes,
Grandma’s Bible and Opera Glasses, also still have a place,
These keepsakes have memories, that can never be erased.

My Shadow 
 
My shadow follows me everywhere,
Least not my worry to fall!
For, whenever she is with me,
I always feel ten feet tall!

On sunny days I see her best,
That shape upon the ground!
But at days end, she fades away, 
Hidden in the moons background!

Without Malice, the blonde wee waif, with her banded hair and blue-white dress,
Shrinking alongside an insane milliner slurping tea, and dunking biscuits hard.
Frenetic and wild, the April Hare, late by 30 days, his minute hands I guess?
The Heartless Queen collecting heads, taking the fun out of Playing Cards....

The Morning After

Chill in the air, as I open the door, to pay homage to the snow,
Snow event complete, no time to sleep, and taking one last photo! 
No reason to fret, just make the best, of winters’ picture show,
Layered for warmth, hot chocolate fueled, grab the shovel, lets’ go!

November Moon
Also known as: Super Moon or Beaver Moon
 
With full face, you light up the sky,
Appearing so close, but yet so far! 
Soft shadowed halo, brush your cheeks,
Creating a smile beyond belief!
Your visit, albeit short, an overnight view,
An amazing phenomenon, witness by just a few!

River of Dreams

Wave’s flowing through your mind, pictures in black and white,
Graphics ever changing, like the TV channels at night,
Tossing and turning in silence, a boat ride’s endless plight!

Alter Ego

Always beside me no matter what,
Living within me someone to trust.   
Together we do so many things,
Energy flowing like an electronic sting.       
Related in mind, body and soul, 
   
Eager to share stories of old, 
Girlfriends forever we will always be,
Opposite side of my imaginative personality.

My Uncle - My Best Friend

Memories of a Man to whom I could confide,
You were always there to listen, never pushing me aside,
Understanding and kind, always a smile on your face,
Never a cross word, just a saving grace,
Cool, calm, and collected,
Looking dapper as can be, the
Epitome of a Man, I hoped God would send to Me.

Battle of the Sexes

Communication void of substance goes unheard,
Imaginary words sounding so absurd!
Relationships, luster lacking is loveless,
Feels like cold hands that are gloveless!
Take heed, the mind, body and soul have needs!

Fruit Rainbow

In my minds’ eye, I see a fruit rainbow, 
Seven colors of wonderment strategically placed in a row!

I see red apples, orange mangos, yellow bananas, to name a few,
Green grapes, blue-berries, indigo plums and violet boysenberries too!

In my minds’ eye, I see a fruit rainbow, 
An arc full of flavors displayed as Natures halo!

Speak No Evil

As I sit enjoying the penumbra of the crepuscular sky,
Suddenly all hell breaks loose, as I hear a sonorous cry.
“I have no room for jealousy or a cynical upheaval!”
With exuberant energy, my quick response, yet, I Speak No Evil! 
Matters not the visceral thought behind this desultory exchange,
All minds clear, with visual halcyon recall, of an opulent coastal range.

An Excuse Never Walks Alone

An excuse never walks alone,
Always’ followed by a reason.
An attempt to defend or justify,
Matters not, the time or season!

An excuse never walks alone,
A pregnant pause dwells near.
A quick release of energy,
Fear ringing still in the ears!

An excuse never walks alone,
Aided by a subordinate clause!
After brief thought we realize,
The excuse was a lost cause!
