Short Minuscule Poems

Minuscule flutters,
White wings flapping through the day:
Petals in the breeze....

How minuscule you may be
Or timid - doesn't matter
Survival depends on the
Art of deception

In the year of 1953 on the day of March first
I became a minuscule substance of the universe.
In more simpler terms, that's the date of my birth....

Countless stars
And planets too
On this particular sphere
Minuscule I stand
Never to fall or fly away
But, left to admire
The creations of his hand...

and escape from what seems like your fate,
take this piece of advice

put your food on a minuscule plate....

We all know that someday we will die.
When and how’s at the whim of a die.
But way deep in our heart
there's a minuscule part
that will mutter: “Who, moi?  No — not I!"...

                                                  lowly beachcomber

                                           probing for minuscule snacks

                                                   plentiful low tide...

After the storm of yesterday
The fog drifted in cool
Thick_damp covering everything
Thanks clouds minuscule

Out on  the porch so much nicer
Quiet rules the morn
In great fog I am delighted
But fog's wet on the corn...

A satirical look at the world can really be uncool 
It's a vice held to scorn, derision, and ridicule
If we avoid this affliction
There's much less friction
Life zings along and our troubles seem minuscule...

One’s infinite and unwavering appreciativeness and
acknowledgements of one’s gratitude is minuscule 
and colossal of bits and pieces are so significant that
mere words are beyond one’s words if gratitude is
limitless beyond one’s measure....

Your wisdom oh, LORD, an infinite ocean is

While my understanding, a minuscule pond

I beg YOU with heavenly knowledge to fill it
 
So, one day, to Your divine call I respond!

a technical masterwork
entombed within glass.

The Starry Night
by Vincent van Goh;
seeing it makes me wish to write,
but my page is white like snow.



NOTE: I realize this poem is very minuscule compared to Eileen's extravagant ode to Vincent van Goh... but this is what I got (a blank page)......

A pale light tussle the dark
minuscule spaces lit up-
friendship starts with a smile

    Solitude chased away and love remain

minuscule tempest
a flicker of rage
or disdain

the gust 
is soon quelled
by love’s healing balm

what aspect within us
as yet offers a pivot 
to feral instinct

oh weary hermit
it’s work in progress
our awareness stuporous

Melancholic happiness
My sadness comes back again until I sense a sense of glee

A Stagnant rollercoaster
My thoughts race until I can't make sense of my inner being

Minuscule obesity
My words get larger until they eat you up

Who can make sense of this manic soul?...

The letter that was never read
Though with it came an invitation
Any reply would have been momentous
Enough to move mountains
Instead there came no response
Those dice were thrown
Producing naught but snake eyes
From that minuscule moment
Mountains of memories folded
That was the final straw....

Static on the radio
Within lonesome nights
Inspirations
Monumentally minuscule

Playing over
Unmelodic hums
Of conditioning air platitudes

And a muted TV
In the silent running
A drowning to the local news

And all I hear is tapping
Into interpretations
Spilling out
From inner worlds of muse...

escape!
 
to live among the daffodil folk . . .
slip down the rainslickened drainpipe . . .
suddenly pop out
                             the GARGANTUAN SPOUT . . .
minuscule as alice, shout
yippee-yi-yee!
                       in wee exultant glee
to be leaving behind the LARGE
THREE-DENALI GARAGE....

Minuscule sapphire blooms,
timid starlight eyes
verdant foliage swaddles,
exquisite, elegant sight

tranquil, serene, meadows
flamboyant petals play
vibrant, petite, bouquets
baring messages to relay,

soothing mother's anguish,
in sorrow, you're not alone
dainty flowers cradle,
words they cannot say....

As I gaze the stars at night
Bright diamonds twinkling,
Minuscule within this space
And life no inkling...

Yet inspiration stirs my soul
And vision all is mine
To express the massiveness 
Universe divine.

The cosmos and my inner core
Life entwined is pleasant
As past has gifted all to be
Harmonious and present....

In my
Visionary realm I find,
Rhythmic thoughts,
Bouncing inside my head.
I must choose to release, or refrain,
For each is lusting to be heard.

Tediously,
I've left behind,
Those most unsought.
Whilst preferring instead,
in un-swept neural pathways they remain,
As minuscule thoughts, not words.

Life is a clock quickly ticking away
Every second you lose is time lost in dismay
Jupiter's omnipotent hand shall light the way
Let Athena grant lasting lucidity's sway

Minuscule moments let your life drain today
Mars' violent stand will provoke more delay
Don't lay waiting for Apollo's next ray
Flee from Death's darkness down Hades' way....

Darkness surrounds life
Evil shrines the night so real
Natures sleeping world


Restoring all new
Goodness prevails in the light
Realistic power


Between nights and days
Minuscule time reconciles
Ones disposition

To absorb the blue sky,
and feel the distance between.
To walk beneath this round canopy,
feeling minuscule.
To find beauty in silent change to black,
in its gentle loop.
To free the soul, to meditate in peace,
beneath blue spacious realm,
where the heart yearns to be measured,
as covering clouds render shade,
until..I'm no more
