Opening Poem To Book 'short Poems'

The sharper the point,
  the deeper the wound

The shorter the verse,
—the truth at high-noon

Premium Member In Praise of Short Poems

No rambling is their best regard 

Not boring to excess

Not saying ten words when three will do

Long writes do make me yawn-oh!

Premium Member Figuratively Speaking

Unmotivated,
I’d dropped my creative side
on the kickoff line
until I picked it up at halftime.

Fumbling,
I now use things I know little about
to explain things I know even less 
about life.

Touchdown when I get it right!

Premium Member A Day of Short Poems

“Scantly-published in life, JD Salinger is set to become prolific in death”. 

This is Tuesday
and a day of short poems.
Salinger spoke to me
and said that it is better
to not be so prolific.

He should know,
having set the pace,
and attained a measured glory
with a certain story.

The Children

Children see the madness
 in people just as clear as day.
They don't let lies and deceit get 
in the way. 

You can smile grin 
or turn green or blue. But
 the eyes of a child can sees 
right through. 

You
 think you are wise because of 
time and age. But a child's mind
 is like the conscience of a 
Sage.

Premium Member Texting Treats

Trying to invent one word poems
Called "texting treats."
Poems of five words or more?
Oh, no !
Are far too hard for us to read!
Itt's speed we need.

A reflection of this electronic age.
Short poems, short replies.
From the beauty of the English
language.....
We, hereby run in retreat.
And joyfully disengage our heritage!

Premium Member Art and Ownership

People buy pictures
They have a notion
That they are owners
But actually
The pictures own them. 
They will outlive
Or outlast them
They are only
Custodians.
They purchase
Pyramid,
Art will live.
And they...
Pharaohs:
Dead.

Circumstance

Sing me to a better place.
Laugh with me till I can't cry.
Why not join the human race?
Hold your breath until you sigh.

All those things we once thought true
now in a revolving door.
Circumstance turned black and blue.
Let peace be what you're striving for.

In the end you're all you've got.
And after all that's quite a lot!

Poet Dreaming

In the musical nostalgia of now,
  my soul takes a liking to
  vanguard of yore ... marvelous
  songs are reborn ... all coming
  From beyond...

   With poems, short poems,
   a lot of effort and some poetry,
   you become a rare poet ...

  The pen writes the words,
  the poet, the feelings ...

  In digital settings, my verses
  manuals are recycled, but not
  lose their sense ...

Two Short Poems Concerning Birds, Or What They Are Not Supposed To Concern

A bird flies
With five-feathered plumage.
It scratches its colorful beak
On the white, white sky.
It may see other birds.
It may not.
All we know
Is that our pen’s 
Run out
Of ink.
=	=	=	=	=	=	=	=	=	=	=	=	=
Life, a delicacy
Bird, flutter
Flutter one
Flutter two.
Death, a treat
Bird, flutter
Flutter three
Flutter more
For soon,
Too soon,
The music stops.
And you will flutter
No more.

Poem

You teach me right from wrong
And you sing me a silly song
Always I like short poems
But you are fair and long
I measured it once
I measured it twice
I measured it again
It was just short and nice
I am getting stronger now
I keep training 
I am still writing poems
If you are getting me frustrated 
Broken heart and selfishness 
I will be losing all my patience 
No time for your faking
Quit face book and copying

Short Poem About Life

Short Poems About Life

Slug – Free Verse Poem

That slippery slime,

That crawls out of damp places,

In the sorrowful night,

It wishes to find a home,

A home of vegetables is like a dream,

If it was a dream like no wonder any slug likes one,

When they crawl out in the day light,

In the garden full of vegetables,

Their dream becomes one.

Premium Member Twinkling Specks

Living under a polka dot sky at night Each little speck of light seems so despondent When power is lost and is no longer bright You must look within each sparkling commandment The stars seem to fall down on you this evening Beauty throughout is what I’m truly seeing In the thicket of trees they are deceiving They twinkle more, exactly what’s believing

A Dawn Breaks

The dawn mist melts down,
On the shoulders of your
Green valley swiftly;
The face is full of ice cubes;
Sprinkled in and around,
and on your red cheeks.
The mid-sun shines on top,
On the smoothness of your
Pink naval softly;
The body is full of ray drops;
Sparked in and around,
and on your spicy breasts.

Short Poems

SCHMOOZE
Beware of smiles with sweet words.

OBSERVATION
Let
your 
senses 
speak.

TRUE FRIEND
Stays when others leave.

MANAGER VS. LEADER
command-catalyze
delegate-show
talk-act

TEACHING and  LEARNING
happen anytime. anywhere

FAMILY...... matters most

PROMOTION
aspire, accept, inspire.

LIFE
is what you think and work for 

TIME....
walks slowly
runs fast
flies swiftly 

CHAMPION
Envisage. Trust. Survive.

Three Short Poems About Italy

Capri

roofless cubes, spidery with wire,
cakes of azure and enzian;
above at the Villa San Michele
Rilke smiles down at the broken beaches,
at coves of defiant waves, compacted sea

Pompeii

a chessboard of honest stones
open to a sky of hushed shouts;
we huddle in a boned frame
of another life, a stopped day

Napoli

warm and secret, olive-eyed
an infinite beauty makes a new face
as we gaze ape-like from our bus;
an act of moment

What We Did Deplore Hiaku

what we did deplore
should always to ignore
think about no more

when we will forget
Will never have to regret
not stay up and fret

glad god I have met
no am no longer in debt
ideas not set

appetite was wet
and better yet it does get
to do god did let

now to summarize
must be sure to realize
god helps those that tries

Last line was designed to
get all of your attention.
