poem potpourri
words once living in our hearts
preserved on the screen-

fragrance of feelings lingers

In the magic screen
A potpourri of poems
Words once alive in the heart
Textures, shapes, sizes
Pieces of our different lives
The fragrance lingers with me.

Horizons bright in tints of flight
beam welcoming rays, breaking free;
excitement springs at lifting wings--
celestial metamorphosis

I once met a girl from Beverly Hills
who sold a potpourri of mind-bending pills.
I bought one and ate it,
and my entire mind got negated.
It was one of my life's most forgettable thrills.

frosty crunch to grass
potpourri warming noon sun
wide eyed angel-blue skies 

pumpkins' glowing grins
kisses in tall cornfield maze
haunted house echoes with screams

Stagnantly idle, all can see
Horrifying comments, said upon to me
Utterance of ignorance, because I disagree
Thunderous demands; broken debris 

Unkempt existence; useless plea
Piercing is the voice; an obnoxious potpourri...

Each day as I awaken,
Potpourri's on my mind;
Those moments we shared as one,
Together, our hearts entwined

The years bred forth an eerie change,
Our spirits grew further apart;
Those sweet memories of potpourri,
Won't mend a broken heart...

A potpourri of imagery
Is nature's gift unwrapped by fall.
Bright colors burst from every tree!
A potpourri of imagery
sparks harvesting of poetry
ere winter shows her chilling pall.
A potpourri of imagery
Is nature's gift unwrapped by fall...

on a canvas etched on my heart
whispered each day these words I say

The jubilee spree, yippee--whee

Staring at her hips, my tie flips
As a button drops  through my neck--
What a mess; but she did confess
I was grinning sans ego’s flair!

New wings to don, my love has gone
To happy new home he has earned.
I need to dry the tears I cry,
Cheer with him for his grand new life.

Gazing at a star, near and far

I embrace the glow within---

Once uncertain of my own reign,

The self now honors its brave light.

Response to potpourri





Death, beginning new life in zing,
Twilight of dusk veiled by darkness,
For night's rest after long conquest,
Unfolds into morning sunrise.

Gathering forest treasures with pixie lust,
she drowns her fears with these organic reminders of love.

She weaves them into melodic prayers, 
seeping her soul in the fragrant tea.

Leaves, sticks, pebbles and flowers,
Her potpourri biopsy of nature's sublime.

A hippie heart, this lady of mine....

dried floral bouquet
made with blooms from my garden
a precious keepsake

rose petals and leaves
pink sweet peas and lavender
floral scent lingers

fragrant oil revives
crystal bowl of potpourri  
wedding memories

Her mood changes, I’ll never guess
But, she’s the breath that soothes time’s ache---
Mildly rambling,my fond words bring
A love nurtured through season’s test.

A real man smiles in stormy seasons
He tries to tame his timely tears.
A brave man smiles for unknown reasons...
He strives to starve his flaws and fears.

No one is born flawless and fearless,
Life is a potpourri of bloom and gloom.
Some chose to be hopeless and cheerless,
By giving gloom an ample space to bloom....
