Short Miscast Poems

Coffin

Your striking aura leaves most folks aghast,
a somber beauty that bequeaths its mark.
Adorned in satin, some would think miscast,
may leave the tenant raging in the dark.
Declaims fond memoirs of the recent past,
before the raven called, there was a lark.
How fitting that you came to be from death
and now inured to lack of deed and breath....

Long ago, there were the halcyon days 
we once knew when we were young -
gone like dollar matinees
when from tree branches we swung. 

I remembered the dire words of song,
that said changes in the weather
are often known to come on strong,
as I watched the dark clouds gather.

You tell me that this storm has passed,
but should this howling wind prevail, 
a martyr, I won't be miscast - 
watch a battered heart set sail....

To strech beyond the endless sky,
with no baggage of guilt to carry,
spread the wings, just aspire to fly,
no wants, no cause for worry.

To plunge beneath the deepest ocean,
wearing a suit, a mask for sight,
tearing shoal of fishes' motion,
and bury many a trivial fight.

ironically,today I stand firm on the ground,
attempting to connect the future to past,
No wings to fly, No fins to drown,
wondering, am I in this place miscast ?...

H ealth of abundance…I wish to you
A  lot of success…in whatever you do
P ride and distinction…may you gain
P romising suitors...may they be sane 
Y uletide debt…may it be paid off fast

N ever, I hope…will you be miscast
E verlasting luck…I truly hope for thee
W ishing you’ll never meet…a killer bee

Y our quest for life…may it be robust
E ach of your seams…may they never bust
A nd most of all, I wish you…in this year
R igs full of money…and lots of beer!...
