Short Nosily Poems

Listen to poem:

Bashing bushes never worked!
As answers become vague touchés.
Matching hazy questions, akin.
Step up nosily, face-to-face....

Frost has tinged the Japanese Maple
Turning its leaves to burgundy red
Pears lie upon the ground not staple
As roosters rise nosily from bed

Nice on the porch at sunrise
Feeling the November cold
Hear birds chirp tales so wise
Mocking tale was a surprise and bold...

The train 
Trumpeting its way
On rails
Through tunnels
Busily sliding
Nosily whistling
Arriving stations
Leaving stations
Hearty hugs

A journey with stops
With people embarking and disembarking
Just as life with ups and downs
With different expectations and dreams...

 Corn bread warm from the hot oven 
Slathered with butter
Tasty snack, lips smack nosily

Maybe taste just a few
Fresh banana peppers eaten
Now who will the dishes do...

Roaming clouds move steadily south
A broad circulation
The golden sun still shines hidden
Peeking on creation

All settled in the foggy hollow
As car tires nosily abound  ...

And you keep to the light,
If I live in split halves, 
And you draw inner circles 
On the skin of another,
If you daunt me nosily

If I live the questions 
That curl around my vaunted solitude
And you thrive on quick, solid responses
Down the unsayable lanes of the mind,
Let us find freedom in the third choices,
In the nonbelonging of the day....
