Short Regales Poems

Beneath clouds, spring regales
studded with floral drops
rustic this landscape,
a sweep that brims with purity.

Westminster has historic walks
And tour guides do tour guide type talks
One speaker regales
It’s most epic fails
How sad about Mr Guy Fawkes...

Like facets of a diamond when held to light,
or ice cream eaten without want or need of spoon.
Visions pass as history regales the knight,
and search continues for the dark side of the moon....

Vibrant Blue bird,  on weary wings – regales us all when it sings
Steaming calves, on wobbly legs – for mother’s milk their nudge begs
Buds fringed in green, on barren stem – we anticipate spring with each of them...

Stymied sand regales no tale
  All wind-whipped time erases
Partial pain of life relieved
  To find familiar places

Sand concedes no mark remains
  Rain, snow and ice extinguish
Not a trace of young refrains
  Slim hourglass of anguish...

Round and round 
As wisdom goes
As the rounding swirl 
Of an eddy's flows,
Round and round 
The years do fly
As an eagle 
Rounds its aerie cry

Here and there,
Round and round,
The clown of life 
Regales abound
Round and round, 
The brass ring longs
To grasp the hand 
Of a heart in song

Round and Round!...

Paper trails,
Have long tails,
That give us many trials,
Before truth prevails,
For those of us who are good at removing veils,
Recognising tall tales,
Own a comb and can follow back trails,
All without biting their nails,
or going off the rails.

For most however a belief in fairy tales,
Still prevails,
And paper trails,
Are proof against their regales,
When they find most paper trails,
Tell no tales,
On those who put a twist in their tails....

Bees




Tiny souls buzzing 
and humming,
Swaying with 
air waves afloat,

As rich colourful 
florets beguile,
fragrance in breeze 
antenna senses,

A gratifying feast 
of nectar regales,
while no endeavour 
to touch the sky,

Hoists the pollen 
in nescience,
benevolence of 
nature redefined,

Twilight of dusk
they return to hive, 
Mustering honey 
is a bee's delight !
