Short Pennants Poems

None can penalize
A man more 
For
His own action's more
Than the Lost
Of his own Soul!

If pray

A burning bush

Twas to appear

I fear

Crocodile tears

May not be enough

To quell 

It's flammable design

In time for next pennants

Roses look redder
     Sunflowers sunnier
   Chrysanthemums brighter
     Queen Anne's lace whiter

   Leaves waving like pennants
     Puffy clouds sail along
   Grass green and refreshed
     Birds sing their song

   The breeze lifts my spirits
     One click saves and submits it...

Swells of nitrous climbing walls, cirrus pennants slowly flag..
Cerise in the lining, richly glowing halls are leading
Onto stairs with eternally deep & steep stooping falls
magenta hued cotton surround me in fields on every side

Pennants' edges curling up, peeling away from fading walls--
Lions listless, languid, lost ~ Tigers timid, tame, tepid--
Floorboards waxed like glass, nothing strewn, no disarray, no chunks

The Choreographer of clutter
The Enabler of entropy
The Maestro of mountainous messes
The Fife and Drumbeat of detritus
  has moved on...

Leaves, green with sap of lush Spring trees
Flutter as branch bound butterflies,
Whistling tunes in Summer breeze
Backing cicada mating songs.

Well-seasoned leaves blistered with rust
Fly as pennants on Autumn limbs.
Much retired from recycling CO2
They rocked and rolled on Winter ground,

Rout-steppers marching in review,
Mulching forward with much to do....
