Premium Member Jinxed

He swallowed vanity whole,
spit up rhododendrons,
gasped at greasepaint fingerprints—
his own—
finally saw himself:
Clown.

Lamentation

Till the other day
As it seems rhododendrons
Walked with me, alas
Now superannuated 
stupidity after rhymes

Premium Member A Finely Turned Phrase

'Kinetic conundrums,' such a finely turned phrase, or
perchance 'effervescent rhododendrons' -- their glories ablaze 
The Beatles' walrus cu-cu-ca-chu'd
                                      Frankie boy scooby-dooby-dooed  
    I'd finish this poem, but it might come unglued

Ravishing Rarities

ranunculus reigns
rhododendrons resplendent 
roses radiate

Some Socialize

swifts soar, swans swagger
swallows / sparrows socialize
sandpipers scatter

Tasty Tree Types

tamarillo treats
tropical tamarind trees
tasty tangerines

Spring Dreaming

Sitting in cold sunshine 
Looking up at white and grey 
As empty limbs sway in icy wind 
Here and there a touch of blue hope 
Shadows add contrast to bright winter 
The odd bird flutters by in need to feed 
So much grey waits to spread its gloom 
As leaves rustle on defiant rhododendrons 
In yet another dizzy turn 
of orbit season swing

A rolling drum of thunder resonated 
outside lightning twisted across the grey 
expanse of sky  simply inundating.
Trees began to tango, swirl and jive
while sheets of rain plummeted from clouds
pummeling our startled lawn,
emboldening the rhododendrons to bloom,
liberating the Clematis to sprout,
invigorating and exciting the whole garden 

and all before the first day of spring.

Friends

My bowl is soiled or clean
Friends don't bother about that
They keep dropping
Rhododendrons reassuring
A torch against the night
Raindrops in the summer
A lamp to read the needs
Walking side by side

In the poetry soup he
Never fails me cognitively
Holding the impartial candle
From silence towards eloquence

Premium Member Midnight Mosque

In translucent silence
sapphire-capped minarets
stand like ardent rose buds
under glint of a firefly moon.

Gone are birds of day
like ruby breasted dawn
spilling ashes of roses
on a saffron horizon,
rhododendrons and azaleas floating
up high to burnish
the mosque's ghosted towers.

Through night's brisk lapis
the hushed teal dome bides
wafting apple breezes
as walls and turrets lumber,
shielding the tiled plaza
until morning steeps the landscape
in the aura of peacocks.
