Tides enfold first light,
Golden hues seep through briny mist,
Daybreak murmurs rest,
Ebb and flow dance quietly,
Dawn's tender overture sung.

Dancing in the Rain

   The poetess’s dance
in the rain lightens my heart;
I hear her footsteps
echoing overture words,
proposing matrimony.

On an odyssey trek,
overjoyed to find Zen,
oasis, green and lush,
overture of bird songs,
opalescent calm hues,
ornamental flowers,
otherworldly magic.

Twisted tongue

Melancholy melody of mania and madness.
Ceaseless Swan song a symphony of sadness.
Counter to composure comes cacophony of chorus.
Oscillating operatic overture of Opus.

Falling From Window Sill

Falling From Window Sill

Fire at Will who was an imbecile;
Tell us about overture fitting bill;
Music moron,
Soon was gone;
Trump broke neck falling from window sill.

Characteristics of Caricature

Characteristics of Caricature

Never were quite certain or ever sure,
What became Characteristics of Caricature;
Not any joking;
Very provoking;
While we had to endure the overture.

my
    heart
      is stirring,
the vision 
      of you
awakens
      everthing
          within:
love
is bursting
          forth,
passion
is parsed
by
desire

inspired by clip of Rossini's overture

The Butterfly

Written in ABC 

Another butterfly, colors dappled, enters, flying gracefully heavenward.  I just kneel,
looking, mesmerized.  Natures overture plays quietly. Restless, suddenly thrusting upward,
variegated wings, exiting, youthfully zoom.
Form: ABC

The Seasons

THE SEASONS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ wintertime, springtime, summertime, autumntime, chilly, frosty, snowy wintertime an overture to springtime life, which colours summertime, who in turn prepares autumntime for its fruits

Filing For Divorce

Agony, bitter contempt.
Destruction, eternally forgotten. 
Gasping, hindered instincts.
Just killing lilies. 
Metallic needles overture perfected. 
Quiet raindrops splash underneath. 
Vulnerable wasteland. 
X-chromosome, Y-chromosome, zero-defect!

Earth Goddess

listen
to the swaying leaf
she sings a song 
tempestuous

and sway it deems
in overture
another life departed
. . . on

listen
now a voice of light
she sings a song
a nexus verse

in hand whose cup 
within her palm
another life can come
. . . along

Newborn Potential

The quality of
The tape itself
May vary,
But the 1812 Overture
On an off-brand is better
Than ‘Mary had a little lamb’
On Maxell

The size of the rubber band
Is limiting
But six inches stretched to seven
Is wasted,
When four can be stretched to eleven
Quite well.

Hot Coffee

H- hide behind Hot Coffee
O- offer and sit beside and Enjoy
T- talk and find delight with
 
C- coffee cup from which I sip
O- overture of digestion very quick
F- feeling better and here I sit
F- forensic negative in a pith
E- easy place for a donuts to dip
E- ergonomic well grained hit

Premium Member The Folly of Gods

What grand overture preceeds death

When the past is prologue to life

What omnipotent power's breath

Gives life to our struggle and strife 

Ask who will come to our defense 

As we battle against the odds

What will sustain our common sense 

When we're the folly of our gods
Form: Rhyme

Premium Member September

An overture to winter's frosty breath,
  September oft colors my thoughts in gray
  It signals winter's cold and summer's death,
  Casting its somber spell on me this day
 Like witches brew in ancient play Macbeth

Premium Member New Year Overture

When
The
Clock hands 
Mark midnight 
At the New Year Eve
Raise high your champagne flute and  cheers            
For the best and not so good moments lived in this year
Making an agreement with yourself of realizing the best efforts of progress

Premium Member The Olde Country Fair

The old county faIr
Six times on the Ferris wheel
A three dog night


A sudden shower
Run for cover or shiver
Uncurled ringlets laugh


A tiny trophy
A water pistol winner
Clutched in sleeping hands

Our overture
A rumble of fireworks
Beneath a rainbow

Rhapsody

RHAPSODY

With reverence to a reverie No amount of words to alleviate With deep longings of overture Turning a rhapsody so complete As in Iliad and Odyssey’s romance. I’ll come to keep this tide To seal this undying love We will overcome One slope, one narrow cove At the sand dunes.
