Short Prompting Poems

Listen to poem:

With no fuss, 
no bother, 
no prompting
the gracious, 
generous giver gives,
in somber silence, 
unnoticed, 
a joyously 
benevolent 
improvisation,
in the silent way....

The melody of firefly-sway

Unleashes a blazed cello tone,

Prompting stars to twirl a ballet.

I have missed you! She said.
Squealing with excitement
Recognizing her alive self
the second she supposedly died.
Her soul laughed, glad she remembered
this time without prompting...

A lady of the night named “Poopsy”
Had the most adorable pair of boobies
On a scale of one to ten
They were twenty, amen
Prompting me to lose it and attacking this cutie...

A lady of the night nicknamed “Poopsy”
Had the most adorable pair of boobies
On a scale of one to ten
They were twenty, amen
Prompting me to lose it and start acting tutti fruity

I
Quaint, queer
Jesting, writing, laughing
Sighs, highs
Curious


Me
Stoic, loud
Telling, prompting, talking
Oddly, amply
Script tease


Myself
Tall, taut
Glimpsing, dreaming, touching
Crazy, bossy
Mimic

AI

Images seem

As surprises..

Arisings

With hints of

The prompting

Words..

Simply

Amazing..!

The AI message

Is that stories

And images

Are simply 

Artificial

Unending..

Which is 

Simply

Nothing new..

However...??...

I flap, remembered
through treacherous gusts:
freedom dismembered
by old bloodline trusts

assuring collapse
with floods of treaties
prompting a relapse
of diabetes

bursting the synapse
in chemical sway,
tightening those bootstraps
till trust fades away....

I have seen the broken bus windows
fireflies in my daughter’s afro
the look in the eyes of passersby
prompting her to ask;
“Dad, why are they looking at us?”
Which prompted my reply:
“Maybe they’ve never seen
an Ironworker before.”

Listen to your soul strains
Dreamtime moves through your pain


Listen well to your mood
Meaning frames feeling good


Listen to your story
Prompting into soft spree


Listen to your soul reach
Plying here each to each

Two Flowers Come Together
's


she
rose
two lips
touching his,
white irises teeth
prompting his wildflower to grow
in a garden bed just yearning to be nurtured slow
from stem to stem and leafy bottom's dance to blooming bud's opening of sweet nectar

I heard a voice convicting me,
prompting,calling 
knocking at my door
to turn back to God
 drawing me

The Holy Spirit helped me 
to  open this door
I heard Jesus 
He came through &
He dined with me and I with He.
I understood,I’m born again
&  made free,eyes opened
I now see !...

Stream sensuous space sparkling surprise
Reach rich race ripe roles reprise
Charm creams cheer crafting choice
Proof primes poignant poise

Amidst my darkest moment.
God, sent fusions of light,
Prompting anxiety to dissipate,
And hasten from view.
It was in this illumination
That all seemed less consequential
Than first I'd imagined.
For during this face-off with darkness,
I embraced my true identity,
And accepted God's plan for my life....

Pitched voices reach high merriment
as booms of laughter whip a roll--
gleeful cheers float on lamplight’s scent
prompting a gig that can’t control
wine-toasting with dear friends--it's late!
But endless tales do celebrate --
sentiments racing more hours’ toll.

The icy peak beckoned
Sun easing itself into bed
Tendrils of fingered shadows fled

Our guide was busy chatting
Seeking favored secrets
Prompting subtle whispers

Our snow-capped trophy
Caught a tinge of sunshine
Shed a raspberry tear

I kissed its frozen face
Licked my lips
With a slurping smile

They would murderously fight in bed, 
Prompting the question 'why did they wed?'
Actively blowing away the guy's money, 
And suddenly ceased to call him 'Honey'
Publicly vowing to dissipate his income, 
All his efforts at leverage a bunkum
Now, he's striving to the evil way chart, 
And ceaselessly trying to break her heart....

It's time for
you 
to kneel down before
me in worship

There is
nothing I care
more
about than your
devotion, while
the sound of you breathing
nails my soul to my
body

The honor of being
in your arms
undeserving of your
reverence hypnotizes
me prompting
to beg for
the unthinkable

It's time for
you 
to kneel down before
me in worship...

Beloved of Ba’alat, 
Consort of Ba’al,
Mistress of the Sinai mines 
Whose turquoise eyes
Unlocked the hieroglyphs 
Lining the promenade
Leading to the Temple of Hathor, 
Inventing first an alphabet, 
Then a song to sing in Canaan, 
Prompting gossip and rumors 
From Memphis to Kush, 
Echoing famously now 
In Serabit el-Khadim....

Sailing on a boat
                                               Embarks to a new harbor
                                                Prompting to abscond
                                              Departing from foregoing
                                              Commencing a longish trek

Listen to poem:

A wellspring deep within,
a vital force creative,
is quelled to dry spells
by diversions, doubts
and distractions.
Like a pump needs priming
to flow again,
a wellspring needs prompting
and dry-runs
to get it brimming again.
Keep drawing on your wellspring
every single day,
imbibing its nectar lovingly,
and it will never run dry....

Feisty fleeting foibles
Tricky treating troubles


Gloomy glimpses gaining 
Pretty posture pleasing


Living lovely loiter
Moody mindset matters


Heavy hassles heaping
Prickly puzzle prompting


Lasting lazy lying
Buzzy breezy buying


Silly stupid saying
Primal pleasure popping

So, tell me what’s wrong
Tell me what have I done
Was it something that I had forgot
Was it somewhere I went, or money I spent
Just talk, am I cold, warm or hot
I’m not psychic you know
I’m perhaps a tad slow
But, give me a hint, and I’ll guess
With some prompting, I’m certain
We’ll bring down the curtain
And bring to an end, this whole mess...

I hear a voice
Prompting fond choice:
With steady choice,
Discern, rejoice.


I learn to be,
Observe and see
Beyond beauty
To ecstasy.


I hurl grand thought
As happy plots,
Align bold lot
To fund sweet spot.


I learn to feel
The voice that thrills,
Feel words that heal
In silence still.

Taut tale telling
Feel fault fumbling


Lines linger loud
Praise prompting proud


Lift love lasting
Frame fine feasting


Joy juice jesting
Fine form feeling


Watch words wander
Prize poise plunders


Words willing work
Jazz jumpy jerk


Meet moments mild
Word wanders wild
