Short Ostensibly Poems

Donald Trump went to church today
Ostensibly to kneel and pray
The vicar wept
As Donald slept
Trump snores sounded more like a bray .........

poetry
ostensibly inconceivable combination
of soft lens and precision
creates awareness of
what might go unnoticed or unappreciated...

dark letters in
the book of secrets
revealed ostensibly
rain of fears on 
the field of unarmed
masses disturbingly
the last train leaves to
the white of the dawn
we are strangers here...

Mystically murky memories

Antagonize anyone and anything

Despite delving deep down

Each embellishment encompasses eternal envy

You yearn, yet…

Only one option opens

Understand, undertakings undo unambiguously

Live, laugh, love, let lie

Opt out of obligation

Offer open objections ostensibly

Knowledge kindles kindness...

Denied 





With early sunset, the heart descends,
veils of dusk and inconstant eyes,
Set to return home, but one last flight,
as darkness tears and stains vibrant vibes,
My denied emotions ostensibly pretend.

a Pondering Moment
in the sensual hours of day...or night
can horrendously ache the mind

for every passing thought
leaves a sense of humane torment…or delight
they can ostensibly liquefy the heart

a split second of silence leads us back to the days
that we love so very much…or hate
and oh! how they tear ourselves apart

But we need them
These moments…
Keep us alive…or dead...

Wringing Withering Words
        Rhymes Remotely Rhetoric 
        Inherently Irritating Irony
        Tying Tattered Trajectories
        Enticing Ethereal Echoes 
        Relinquishing Ruined Rhymes
        Stubbornly sitting stalwartly

        Busily Busting Brain
        Limiting, Losing. Lackluster 
        Ostensibly Ordering Oracles
        Crumbling Cursive Curlicues
        Klutzy Kerfuffle Kaleidoscope...

Standing high atop a canyon
wall, a  rising, thermal current
warmed my weathered face with gentle,
smoothest, invisible fingers.
Overhead a lone eagle glides
effortlessly, circling, dipping
downward, ostensibly playing.
His iterate screeching echoes
loudly through the narrow chasm.
Genuine freedom on the wing
but unaware how free he is;
and I who deems to be as free
knows that it’s only an ideal
one that can never be achieved....

Onto peaks the setting sun has splashed its brilliant red.
Clouds cavort in the twilight's cerise as geese soar overhead.
Trees along the mountains’ ridges, trembling in the breeze,
Ostensibly flaunt leaves bright scarlet, tangerine and gold.
Beautiful and bedazzling, and the mundane now flees.
Eventide’s extravaganza, such bliss to behold -
Rhapsody of colors! Fall has me in its hold.
