Short Ornamentation Poems

crane flows over the water
ripples with forks upriver,
a kiss of a daffodil mirage
the flower's fleeting visage.

in the gust of a hurricane,
a pumpkin ornamentation
batters a door of a stranger,
they answer, but no one is there.

it did happen....

A beauty with love
A beauty with obsession
A beauty with life

Lavender flowers
White, pink, purple, mauve also
Perfect bliss in mind

Deciduous vine
Symbolizing obsession
Add colours in our mind

With lightly scented
Bath in strong sunlight
With poisonous seed

True bliss of nature
Perfect ornamentation
A solace of mind

Stunner of nature
Enchanting to heavy eyes
Gift of our nature...

the gate to the old cemetery is rusty and old
though once upon a time is was elegant and gilded
ornate with filigree tracery ornamentation
now, it is   d e c a y i n g   fragile, beautiful 
I push to open and the gate sighs creaks, groans, moans

the green wraps around me like a warm cloak...

A hair about a centimetre long!
Was it an eyelash
or a tiny piece of nasal ornamentation
in this library book?

Was it left here by the last borrower?
Or has she - or he -
found it, known it was from
the previous borrower, and ignored it?

How long could eyelash
or nasal hair
remain here on page sixty-five
almost defying its removal?

Or will a librarian happen across this souvenir,
blow it away
before returning the book
to its place on the shelf?
