Short Shimmies Poems

wind swishes the leaves
spring green shimmies and shakes
nature's belly dance...

The words flow like a river
The voice shimmies 
Rising and falling 
In harmony with notes floating behind
Beat after beat after beat
Held long
Cut short
Beautiful...

swimming in a lake
among bullfrogs and catfish
natural hot springs
in patches of cold water
a water snake shimmies past

swimming in pool
heavily chlorinated 
reddening my eyes
I long for a cool pond
my own private lake in woods...

Swift spirited reindeers 
Slipped on the slick rooftop 
Santa plumpish chassis
Shimmies down the chimney
Soot prints on gifts under
Shimmering tinsel tree
Sneaks away in his sleigh

Rushing through lusty August towards
A vault of blue, a longing promise.
It is like waiting for the visiting moon,
The day when the silver light shimmies past
My bedroom curtains, and I will look up
And I will feel the burning of the heart.
Mist will pour down from the Sun
And the same mist will fall from my mouth.
I will no longer be in need and
It will all sliver pass me....

Called Into Account
Written: by Miracle Man
4/25/2017

Time has called me into account,
I’m a hostage of yesterday;

As today shimmies away,
I search pages forever departed,

And fantasize for a moment
Of the time and place of eternal peace;

Where exists no pain or disappointment
And no past;

Freed from fears and insecurities forever
That cloud earthly tomorrows;

The glide of the plane almost in step with my rooftop.
Visibility of blue heaven low; lookout for earthwalkers.
My bland Toyota euphoric and banded by tight forest.
The span of an angelic chorus, a serendipitous psalm.
The predilection of dawn, a tributary hawk sails on.
The silver cross shimmies and shakes reflected in mirror.
I steady it with my heartbeat, my smile, my faith.

Her sultry eyes make me quiver,
The way her skin feels, sends me to shiver;
How her dynamic curves bend straight through,
Helps create her attraction, with nothing to rue;
Water shimmies off her lustrous skin,
Permitting her image, a clear vision;
Her miraculous glance, deep and wide,
Enables her to see from the inside;
These traits make me want to be with her,
The combine to form her dramatic allure.

The worst day
To ever sprout 
From the depths of Hade
Could not begin to express
How he made me feel.

Who would have guessed?
Sure,
He had follicles
That put even the most 
Gorgeous
Flaming 
Queen to shame.

And it’s true
I envies his
Soft,
Velvet smooth,
Shining skin.

I put my heart on the line
And to have it come back
With a letter of 
Reject 

I’m crushed,
Cold, and
 Consumed with the dreams
Of the past.

Now, I watch
As he shimmies by
With his bedazzled
Ass....
