Short Silhouetting Poems

Silhouetting bolts of lightning,
So frightening, yet so amazing....

Too heavy for sky,
Night cradles the harvest moon.
Soft, loitering, light
Silhouetting rooftops, spires
Jagged black against its glow...

How she looks tonight?
   A pearl strung amidst diamonds
   Silhouetting shades,
   The shadows of evenings light.
   A melodic phrase...

   "The moon"...

sheet lightning flashes
silhouetting silver clouds--
one star winks bravely

ATTOL TABLEAU

Night has now fallen
The low pale moon hangs
Casting golden light
Across the ripples
Washing the shoreline
Silhouetting palms

My nisus to go out on the porch
Once again to write verse
About the orange fireball rising
A new day given its warm birth

The fireball casting pink and sand
Silhouetting pine trees
Wouldn't this be so awesome now
'Twould put my mind at ease  ...

The marquee's silhouetting neon heart's rejoicing as she sequined
Dracaena whom had merely dreamnt this dream; a fathom to be..
Bustling city streets her trouvere`in morphed vibrant vivid scenes
Translucent wings cable cars pedestals invoked her, highrise stars....

The Bear and the Wolf howling in the night
Formed out of clouds, extending their might
They gnash their fine teeth and they scare away stars
The bear and the wolf, moonlight devils with scars
Their dark furry outlines silhouetting the night
If you are not scared, may I turn out the light?...

The tuscan sun dips over the horizon
a river of red flows through the hills
gentle the sounds of love come alive
claiming another montalcino night

Echo the strums silhouetting my soul
soft samba beats calling me home
fragile red petals dance through the air
an illusion of light,   lifts me away

Vivere attraverso la musica  floating
tender touch serenades to the moon
attraction filters a sensual perception
and hearts twirl as every note's inhaled...

Twisted popcorn lace decorates
The eastern pale blue sky
A canopy of delight hangs
Miles and miles up high

Upon the eastern horizon
An orange sun seeks to climb
Across the sun streaks of purple clouds
The sun arrives just in time

Apricot jam slathered across
Dripping stickily on pines
Silhouetting an outline there
Of oaks and pines combined

Thank you, God, for the beautiful
Artistic scene on the sky
A few moments to watch nature
And swallows dart and fly ...

Pink sky dark
trees rising three silhouetting against sky  pink 
sky
overhead

three trees rising
leaning 
paper cut-outs 
leaning 
black paper cut-outs on
pink pages

above 
wood fence running 
away
darker down to 
shed

breathing all in breathing 
self
in smoky 
air breathing self 
out 
into air

tree silhouettes breathing 
calmly 
silently

quiet

cat gliding 
noiselessly 

me-and-
ering 
cor-
ner darker 
disappearing
darker 
like breath along 
air...
