Jan weaves humor with her lines
  Jo's poems are so divine
  Laura's poems with love do shine
 Nette threads  poems with metaphors entwined
 Broken Wings brings poignancy to her poetic lines

Rainbow - hues of love's presence
Drizzles of warmth and joy
Contentment of heart
Calming the ragged edge
Leavening excitement
Of all but the real
Circle's half - is subtly whole
Seen in a flash- lighting the soul
Remnants of delight's flight lingering
Poignancy wraps tightly 
Our ode to love's stanza
Ribbons of the misty arc- adorn the day...

There is a poignancy in boyhood...
The high voice, and ineptitude,
The yearning to be free of mother's strings;
The awkwardness of age fifteen, to wit
A boyish sullenness.

There are some things lost when manhood gained -
And mothers cry on thinking.

The stars were twinkling
as the moon danced
sending beaming rays
to float over the earth.

Casting shadows over all
in the still of the night.
We lay entwined
fingers wandering southwards.

Our breath hot and passionate
as we danced the age old dance.
Reaffirming our love as
slowly we rose to climax.

By the river reflecting
the majesty of the sky.
Adding poignancy
to our deep abiding love...

Listen to poem:

Please pander to my
Perfectionism by
Pottering your purlesent
Peepers purposely past my
Permanently printed
Phrases of poetic poise

Pulling precious people
Past particular poison 
Pleases.
Pushing perfection points
Purposefully protects from 
Painful perception.

Perhaps a pedantic persuasion?
Perhaps a pen peaking in
Peppery passion or with
Personal poignancy or
Painted pastiche pictures of
Platitude?

Perhaps...

Sound that brings
Back memories
Sounds that make
One cry
 
…From an ol’ music box…

Sound that tears
Tears from one’s eyes
And wrenches forth
Deep sighs

…Nothing quite like an ol’ music box…

No, nothing says poignancy
More so… 
than does the silken notes
That softly flow

…From a music box…

That plays ‘Lullaby
And Good Night’
And tinkles down
E’er so slowly

Til wound again
…Up tight…

        Jasmine Tea and Poignancy


San Francisco and your soul's appeal.
Sitting in that Japanese Tea Garden.
You, whispering the readings of Lao Tzu.
Surrounded by the afternoon fog embracing 
us,so!
Swans swirled, serenely.
Enchanting, endless, eucalyptus leaves,oh!
We drank heavenly,hot jasmine tea.
And quietly wept over the child we lost.
To the prism of eternity.
Fog and tears mixed silently.

What is it about
the horizontal line

-------------------

that pulls us to it?

My ex-wife was
- (is) so fond of - 

Viewing the horizon
of sandy beaches
as if it was - (is) 
the edge of heaven

I also think I can
discern something,
something important,
distant - over there
 
So too, the long prairie
line to a blue storm
to come soon, tomorrow

It is no different, no 
more sure to allude,
in its poignancy
at the edge of vision

How's that for 
some poetic ending?
