Sans your love I deny the world,
          without your smile i fall down,
          I die in silence, almost profound,
          without pomp as a flag furled...

That statement causes
     amusement in waves of our
       mirth and pomp and stance

Swingers and shakers
    have always hung around
      gals'n watering holes...

precious pearly moonbeams
peachy pink sunset's pause
poufs of blooms in a field
prismatic in hushed pomp
pouty weeping willows
parrots screeching summer
petite girl with a plum...

The Anglican Church, in a major decision,
made with considerable thought and revision,
has brought in, with care,
more reflection and prayer -
and not so much pomp and circumcision....

Accompanied by tambourines and his effacing pomp
A blind bearded man walks proudly through the gate
Warmth welcomed him a young man of eighty three
A kind gentle honest man now promoted to glory...

What does it take to drain a swamp?
A weakling or someone with strength and pomp?
How deep in the mire must this one go
To effect a change from the muck we know?
To drain a swamp, takes grit and a STOMP!...

Little Bo Peep, taxed out of her sheep

How many does Big Oh need to keep?

Leading them about

With rhetorical shout

Over pomp and circumstance knee deep

crowds came from afar
to laud the time of their lives
from sunshine to dark

laughter and sparklers
chaotic colors clashing
children playing pomp

beauty explosions
inky black night delighting
sweets and treats for all...

Two hearts unite in holy matrimony
  Pledge their troth in sanctimony

Yet in a year or two, up springs acrimony
  The likely cause, ungentle parsimony

All that money spent on pomp and ceremony
   ~ Was better saved for alimony...

Bygones is bygones 
Rights are wrong. 
What an ugly, sick song. 
If your headlong grin and 
sly stare exuded any less 
pomp, your clown-prop nose 
and cherry toothpaste lips 
would have long ago slithered 
away from your paved face....

Limerick: Once a true benign Pope wore iron Cross

Once true benign Pope wore iron Cross
Ate humble pie dressed white spoke not lipgloss
Other Lords reigned in pomp
Caught in their cool aplomb:
Up Calvary got seared into steel Cross!

I remember the grand parades
  Memorial and Independence Day
All their pomp and pageantry
  Many faded jeans ago, so far away

Our boys in uniform we'd be saluting
  For the good ole USA we'd be rooting
Now it's political rancor at barbeques
  ~ From either end we're tooting...

Lets get personal
the people portrayed
in the verse
are real
but the actors are imaginary
The words i uttered
to my bride to be 
as embarrassed by the pomp
she floated towards me
You smell
and before the frown had crowned
Beautiful
and in that single smile
happiness was born...

America, Is Our Canoe
By: Miracle man
November 5, 2020

This election was a contest to see who runs the swamp,
and we man a canoe filled with greatness and pomp.
Many falsehoods were uttered without remorse or shame,
if they sink our canoe, won’t we all drown the same?

DRINK IN A BOWL

Sake highlighted
imprinted upon a mind...
composure in art

DRINK OF WISDOM

Wry wisdom from rice...
the land of the rising sun
fluorescent pomp

CAPTURED

Artistry enhanced
nature captured in a bowl
taste intensified

Two colors stand on Capitoline Hill
- the gold, the purple of the Roman era -
flag that recalls the ancient pomp
but nowadays the Yellow is for the sun
shining on the beauty of the seven hills
the Red is for the heart
of the Eternal City and its friendly folk.

The dying embers of my soul lifted its head today
I would not have anyone else beside me
Not magic words, no eloquence or pomp
My wife with words
can touch my most hidden places
And begin a smile that starts inside
And tonight i lie beside her
and hang on every breath
The place i am meant to be
within her love my rest...
