Short Sours Poems

Never, my love
Use your
Misery
Blindly;
Neglecting
Everyone
Sours your very
Soul...

we travel for hours and hours
flogging our fossil-fueled powers
when we get there
we are nowhere
as our taste for the present sours...

As Joe’s voice sours and may fade 
A candidate parade and trade
Could upgrade our choice!
We'll sweetly rejoice
If lemons become lemonade...

body has its need, we have ours
flavour of limitation sours
the saving grace is bliss rapture
divine spark mind cannot capture
dwelling in which we spend our hours...

My husband had purchased fresh flowers
They sweltered in his car for eight hours
Twelve roses of red
Were nearly all dead
His Valentine’s Day gaffe truly sours

Little bird in the nest,
had to fly, had to test.

Feathers all grown,
has to make it all alone.

Wings spread out,
he knows what it's about.

Sours through the sky,
so very high.

Little bird first flight,
and now he's out of sight.

A mothers milk poisoned 
By cleverly planned lies
Natures honey sours
When it's web of deceit dies
A babe lay restlessly dreaming 
Only to let out her painful cries
A mothers touch will no more
Calm her innocently stormy eyes

Delusion manifests as a thought form,
which we mistakenly take to be ours,
whereby arises a need to conform
but the taste of the fruit over time sours,
with ego seeking magical powers.
Though dreams within dreams in this way replay,
detached from outcomes, the pure of heart play....

Nostalgia hides within the hopes
Of the present
Sours as it passes
Tucks itself into cerebral
Alleyways
Lingers in fitful dreams
Grows as it ripens
Ignites the trembling torch of
Ageing's adolescence

The Pest


As we waste away the hours 
When we’re wanting more
On the nightstand there be flowers 
And our clothes upon the floor
When we thought this time was ours
Comes a scratching at our door 
Then our mood surely sours
Because of that beast that walks on  four

Loose hearts,
Linger,separate,
Tear apart.
Loose hearts,
Shrink.wilt,
Twig of life sours tart.
Loose hearts,
crumble,shudder
viscous words shoot in blacken darts.
Loose hearts,
tighten,strengthen,
venture towards a mended start.
Loose hearts,
weep, tangle, unite.
Love sprinkled over happy a la carte....

Our president sat on a wall
Our president had a great fall
All the Towers and all the powers
Couldn't repair as his face sours

Another president sits on the wall
I wonder will he have a great fall?
As our posterity(children's children's grandchildren0
Pay back forever our non-austerity with asperity  ...

in layers I rest
a dreamer at best
now slightly distressed 
petal wrapped poultice
there's nothing amiss
settled and dreaming 
no longer screaming
long past redeeming

fashioned in flowers
undenied powers
even when all sours
when white, black and grey
makes up the bouquet
let her have her say
lest rose's abyss 
your last reminisce...

Life
A challenge,
An agreement or commitment,
Between God and a soul,
Before to collect a body,
Conditions and options,
Moment enlightens through darkness,
An astonishing channel,
Where a soul plays a part,
The tricks are painful and joyful,
It follows to taste,
Sweet, sours and spicy,
Attitudes, material and memories,
A dreamy process of fate....

LOVE
*****

Love, true, for forty-eight years, ours!
Lived in harmony, blissfully.
Lucky, no, planed, all sweet, no sours!
Lips whisper, "I love you, truly".
Little things grow into pleasure!
Life, we both take at our leisure!
Libated, love sealed with flowers.

Shells of love where lovers lay,
Their true souls now far away.
Displaced by honesty they,
Close their hearts on all to say.
One will depart, the other remain.
He hurts her to lessen love's pain.
Misguided hearts beat the same,
Laughing and bleeding in each other's game.
Fear is the thread linking love's lost flame,
Kaleidoscope of deceit sours the aim....

nature is a she
brings life for all to see
takes on the role of motherhood
far better than he could

mankind destroys what she is giving
removes trees that are living
she is quite distraught
her nature will change his thought.

she floods the lakes and streams
destroying tobacco that he cannot wean
man learned that mother nature has powers
so now he’s hooked on whiskey sours...

Those that travel
the barren desert
shall not die of thirst.

Somewhere, far off
A river runs wet 
and clean and the

nearly dead shall 
be refreshed not 
to lie in heartless

grains of sand
bleached white
by unrelenting 

rays; but rather they
shall enter lands 
of dewy meadows

fresh with the smell
of rich earth and rise
as triumphantly 

as the
eagle sours
the air....

For years I drank
     laughter wine, aged on fears and depression;
(it seems that no one likes a pessimist).

Laughter wine served with plastic jokes
	and drunk from society's suffrage glass.

Sour laughter wine sours the spirit; 	
	sweet laughter wine is a better drink.

It is aged on the hope;
	The faith that social sufferings will end.

It is proper to drink Sweet laughter wine
	from your soul-glass....

Bill and Kate are wed and I wish them well
They are so in love far as I can tell
But they've got to learn so much
To evince that royal touch
So not from Queen Liz to catch 'oly 'ell

Wave as if screwing light bulbs in sockets
Billy keep your hands out of your pockets
Wear perpetual glowers
Never serve Liz Whiskey Sours
Zazas she likes for happy hour dockets

Number 15 rumbles a regular route,
Whining about the dew-drop hours.
A friend used to hang on and shout,
"Top-of-the-line!" Sucking fruit sours.

Underrated, invaluable, civil necessity.
Removing debris for the wasteful Whos.
Salting and plowing the frozen density.
Protection from plagues of pesty refuse.

Garbage to be his last embrace.
Toxic weight on asthma lungs,
While indulging a smokey taste.
I say, "Shoot it all into the sun!"...

Love for him has lessened with the passing time.
Agonizing moments shift to fleeting hours.
Inner wounds and surface sores are doing fine.
Grieve not for days gone by when memory sours.
Standing on my own as sunlit kisses shine,
I thank God for His wondrous healing powers.
In life’s changing seasons I will love again.
Firstly, asking God if this one He did send.

Housekeeping acrostic/therza rima
How Ruthie Stone had to abandon
One place that she only called home
Upon her Aunt Sylvie’s rebellion

So now she rides on her own 
Every day she treats as a challenge
Kindling her attachment alone

Every hour since she has parted
Even through the years has passed
Proneness to stay lonely and quiet 
 
In her own soul is attached
Now those dear reflective hours
Go with her while taking her time

While her old abandoned home sours...

Hi love

Your love cushions my heart like a soft pillows

Thought of him are like colorful gems held like a rainbow in my hands

AS I cuddle in his arms he holds me down to earth.

Because of you my heart sours to the sky.

Your heart is compassionate 

Your hands glide gently over the wrinkles of my wrinkly soul 

You drag me by my hand on your wild adventures

You are a gracious kind gentleman gentleman 

You are perfect in every way.

Love sonnet...

Falsely accused by an angered heart...
Resumes the hate that tears us apart!Words
so heated from one's own spite...Aches the
tendered heart,so wronged,not right!The
kissed on band-aid for my pain...Removed my
foot fro' my mouth's wronged as plain! An
apology always escapes my lips...Like a bad
tasting wine,that sours all sips!When can i
not guiltily say?...My love,i'm sorry,for a
many painful day!Sorrows and mishaps 
increase my ire...You are my queen,I not
your Sire!
