Short Reappeared Poems

Withdrawing from the Rat Race,
  my fortune reappeared

The fog now gone, all clouds pulled back
  —direction free and clear

Another book misplaced,
another search through piles 
of bills. My car keys dis-
and reappeared. Was it 
the cat who hid my glasses?
Why, here’s that memo
I’ve been missing!
How things get shifty
with the years....

Santa Claus so creepy and weird
Neon pink bathrobe, mask cracked and yellowed beard
On his left arm my dad`s clock, so strange - we feared
Mom just smile and laugh, dad in the bathroom - afterwards he reappeared

An old man who fell down a shaft
Just sat in a heap looking daft
But his friend persevered
And he soon reappeared
Then looked down the shaft and just laughed

As subtle as a breeze
As thin as an eyelash
As timid as a tear
Love reappeared

Although days multiplied
And years doubled
Time cannot degress value
Essence of intimacy

Even though hope embarrased itself
And doubt grew strong
The end's tide came
And caressed the center of my joy

Though subtle as a breeze
And thin as an eyelash
Even timid as a tear
Love reappeared...

This little piece is an older contest-winner from my posted-story-poem - "Fireflies". 


                                Lightening Bugs


Wafting through the quiet night…like embers fit with wings… 
The twinkling quilt of tiny sparks exposed a field of hay.
They looked like little lantern-guided boats, adrift at sea,
That hid behind the waves…then reappeared…as if at play....

Walking the riverside, the rain stopped, the sun reappeared.
Weaving thru the weeds came the dragonfly.
A trembling shimmer of gauzy wings.
Darting electric blues,greens and bronze
In a crazy zig-zag dance.

Droplets clung to rain-splashed leaves.
A mosaic of life-nature's multitude.

The dragonfly bustled with fingertip precision.
Gathering fragments of gold,
It sped away,
A life in a day!...

Winter white has gone away
The colds all but disappeared
Spring is an amazing thing
Little deer come out to play
Sunrise in the early morn
Happiness, a sunny day
Sunset in the late evening
Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day
Pink flowers have reappeared
An amazing thing is Spring
Children love Easter Sunday

It was a dark and lonely night
Suddenly there came a shaft of light
My heart was jumping out of my skin
While trying to keep all fears within
I became silent, my legs became stiff
I felt like I was pushed of a cliff
Then suddenly I saw a strange ship
I got so frightened that I bit my lip
It came and disappeared
Then again it reappeared
Is it aliens or just a dream?
Maybe some things aren’t what they seem

I almost lost you in July 
I'm glad you're here
If you do not return
I don't know what I do
Felt so empty
Without you near .
My heart could not bear
 The thought of losing 
You my friend . 
Anxiety kicks in
As the days  go by 
I cried my self to sleep
Every night 
I did 
Pray for a safe return
And God answered 
Three months later
 our adventure begins again
It's like if I was cured.
And answering my smile reappeared....

The day will come, 
 seems inevitable
 when everything finds its place and time,
in the sun light of morning
 when we walked together, 
 everything seemed perfect;
as the years passed, 
 looking back held no importance
 only now remained all we had,
perhaps, it was all 
 we needed and as the age began to fade
 the happier experiences reappeared
that is all I leave you, 
 the bad times turned to good
 when I become your memory....

It came upon a blizzard day 
with gloriest rays of old 
she stole the Babe  
that blessed night, 
and wisked Him home away 

A pooring girl so sad and torn  
she saw  Him shivering cold 
and from the church she ran   
towards her dwelling place 
to wrap Him in her fray 

It came upon a Christmas day 
as churches round the world 
sang Halleluja praise the Lord  
with a Babe inside a crib , 
that little Jesus reappeared 

all safe, tucked in and warm !...

I didn't cry
I disappeared
I reappeared
didn't cry
wasn't until
weeks went by 
that night
I deranged
to heave my broken body
in vain
to free the window of its drape

I didn't cry
collapsed in defeat

I lay tormented for a while
till finally 
I rang
someone came

I sheepishly requested
they draw the curtain aside

my battered bag of bones and I
lay back in a sigh

overcast

and then it happened

I wept with all the gravity of the moon

Alive....

Global warming is not here, they said, but it's been a weird winter 
Our winters are usually long, with tons of snow, cold and bitter
We had warm temps of fifty degrees a few weeks ago in January
We had a flood, bugs were seen flying in the air, ants reappeared 
Birds were seen flocking to trees in droves, the air smelled like spring
Our government wants us to believe it was just a normal January thaw
We are living these climate changes, signs that global warming is here
