I Do Not Live Without Your Love

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

Intelligent Humans From Apes

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

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

Minimal pomp and circumstance

lily of the valley
divine cluster of bells
charisma on a stem
its perfume awakens nature
and announces spring's
long awaited homecoming

Pretty

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

Church

The Catholic 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.

General Booth Enters Heaven

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

To Drain a Swamp

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!

Big Oh

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

Strawberry Festival Days

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

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

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.

Swamp Cleaner

All over Washington D.C.
He flies with pomp and pride
Donald Trump, President
Surveys the swamp overhead
Of wrath and promises bold 
He vows to cleanse the deep
Swamp's dark waters
His axe to wield
America great again to keep

Limerick: Once a True Benign Pope Wore Iron Cross

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!

Pomp and Pageantry

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

By the Pomp

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

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?

The Yellow and the Red

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.

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

She Sees Me

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

Full Moon

Florescent globe eclipsing heaven, shrouding earth
Perched on the precipice of space in airy dearth
Ringed with the growing pains of your shallow birth
Trumpeting over the solemn night's requiem with pomp and mirth      
Bountiful orb brilliantly manifesting your inestimable worth
Waxing the dark divide with your silvery girth

A Soldier's Destiny

Nothing marks the day he left this world
no pomp, no glory, no flags unfurled
no marching parade to fill the streets
no tears to run down crimson hued cheeks

No one to hold him, no one to care
just blood stained dirt in a war somewhere
left to remind us of what he gave
so we could live free in his land of the brave

A Soldier's Destiny

Nothing marks the day he left this world,
no pomp, no glory, no flags unfurled.
No marching parade to fill the streets,
no tears to run down crimson-hued cheeks.

No one to hold him, no one to care,
just blood-stained dirt in a war somewhere.
It is all that’s left to remind us of what he gave,
so we could live free in his land of the brave.

On the Back of a Spirit

On the back of a spirit
We'll rise or fall
Or say damn man
The hell with it all.
I get the gist
And twirl and twist 
To soak in the stupid:
A flick of the wrist.
Gov'nor blankets 
pomp and photo-op
Or immeasurable vapidity
like defunding cops.
I plaster my fat face
In front of y'all, 
and say
Hey man welcome 
To the start of the Fall.

Less Is More

Sobriety is the key,
The missing key all these years,
Covid-19 has taught us moderation,
Muted celebrations,
No scale, pomp or extravagance,
No more crowds,
An uncertain world,
Covid-19 made us rethink,
Social distancing is happening,
Minimalist approaches,
In today’s toxic environments,
We need to come together,
For a better shared future.
