DELIRIUM 

Spectacular is the sea-saw* ship
Serendipitous sleep on its bow
Saturated in happiness dreaming
Splendiferous sashay of delirium

Splendiferous crystals;
Sparkling jewels of light.
Soft, fragile flakes that fall
Silently from the sky.
Swirling as they tumble
Spiraling to the ground,
Scattered by winter winds....

splendiferous spring
raindrops quench thirsty snowdrops...
white morphs into green

A word
Is naked

I will bathe 
Her, in sunlight
With soap 

Of my lips 
And rinse her 
With blood
 
Of my heart
Then, I will 
Clothe her 

With 
Fluffy feathers
To make 

Her
Splendiferous...

Old Gooseberry gets in when you let your guard down
Handsome, diabolically friendly, he never shows a frown
Temps you with spirits, pills and elixirs to make you high
Some addicts think he is a splendiferous, wonderful guy....

Mad Millie made mention of her mother’s murderous mind.
We wrinkled wandering thoughts which were marvelously kind.
Thinking we knew better than Mad Millie until we did find.
That her mama truly did have a splendiferous murderous mind....

Autumn flaunts
splendiferous
colors;
rich earthy tones
gilded in gold leaf.
Scarlets and 
yellows
form Nature's
finest
works of art;
as Autumn
weaves a tapestry
of orange and crimson
leaves;
touting Fall's beauty....

Yellow and

candyfloss pink

pastels,

feathered fluffy.

A masterpiece of

powdery
 
soft strokes

and vivid

colors.

Strikingly

beautiful,

rosy maple moths

are splendiferous and

quite

extraordinary.

conjure cumulus frost bitten clouds
blinding billows sculptured shrouds

zeniths growing burgeoning flowers
amplified pulsing pastel towers 

cotton confections mountainous might
splendiferous altars vestal white 

veiled vapors frosty smoke
cumulus canvas draws cloud gazing folk...

Splendiferous skies
Sunflower sunrise
haystacks of lilacs
pastel daisies play
with robins and jays

fragrant grass finds
bunny behinds
cotton lambs coo
earth's lush rebirth

a spring dream
until my
face hits a

clinging
bug filled

what I was looking for was but a fragment
a very small fragment of what I found
hidden amongst the clutter
of broken dreams and hearts
I found you

epic:  resplendent, splendiferous, 
not enough adjectives to describe
although I read them all
thought of each
rejected them as lacking...

An aesthetic bottle garden
is a living, phantasmagorical jewel.
A treasured, ostentatious gem,
intricately designed,
artistically arranged and sustained behind a shield of glass.
Encapsulated perfection,
a splendiferous garden of paradise
juxtaposed with a sullied polluted Earth....

snowflakes, like

feathery fluff,

tumble

from frigid skies

spreading out like a

down duvet

feeling

snugly soft,

and yet

icy cold

to the touch,

a shroud, befitting

autumn's splendiferous

dead,

wove by winter’s hand

I dreamt of a midnight rendezvous with a Goddess
               in a splendiferous star-studded setting,

whereas, spellbound by Venus’s hypnotic beauty
               shooting stars sprinkle stardust 

upon passion's exquisite, mesmerizing flames,
              burning in the ether of the night.

She stands there all summer
in everyday ordinary green,
but amid autumn's bouquet
she wears a lustrous sheen.

Her gown is splendiferous,
she's the queen of them all,
transformed like Cinderella
'gussied up' for the ball.

Glowing flaxen and scarlet,
all who view her agree,
there's nothing more radiant
than the sugar maple tree....

Snowflakes appear like tufts of downy fluff 
tumbling ever so gently from the heavens;
whereas Winter's breath blows
alabaster crystals of virgin white
to confetti the sky.
Dancing in tune with each breeze,
they perform perfect pirouettes
in a Winter Wonderland ballet;
complete with splendiferous
gowns of crystalline lace....

Butterfly counter, paid by the hours
Walks miles, studying beautiful flowers.

Captures blues, silvers, yellows, monarchs too
They arrive in splendiferous colors and hues

Okay I don’t get paid in money, she says.
Something fun to do, for my Aunt Inez.

Inez has been gone for fifteen years now, you see.
Photographing butterflies is her gift to me....

Oh, fabulous flamingo, you step out of the haze,
feathered in your cotton-candy glaze.
And imbue joy to my days
as I observe your whimsical ways.
Extraordinary, you never cease to amaze,
as your legendary pink fuels scientific essays.
A splendiferous bird worthy of praise,
uniquely beautiful, you hold my gaze.

I did make a wasp gasp
with my splendiferous doggerel
that not even I sit well
with. & a note came from hell
penned in a tongue alien to me...
only the vile violet violinist
understood such oneiric idiocy...
& said it was emetic
& not truly good nor copacetic.
Even September agrees
such is the golden music
that easily delights the bees 
& can make a wasp gasp....

Intoxicated pinkish elephants

electrified in splendiferous drunkenness

surmised surrealistic playgrounds

of surround sound echoing laughter &

expansivly lit hot air balloons

merrily drifting to embrace star-dusted

skies' kaleidoscopic enchantment

ever wonder, 

do intoxicated pink elephants hallucinate

 the same as our own alcoholic delirium...

A splendiferous, majestic beast
male lions live lives of famine or feast.
In Africa, he's dubbed the king
reigning supreme over everything.

A super-sized cat he rules the pride
siring all cubs, he won't be denied.
In regal pose, he scans his domain
where due to poachers so few remain.

Breathtaking beauty adorns the trees
as Autumn mixes pigments with ease.

As vermillion shades cause leaves to blush,
Fall forms a canvas for nature's brush.

Tinged orange, cerise, crimson, and gold;
trees are a masterpiece to behold.

In a splendiferous scarlet splash;
rusty red waves of fiery flames flash.

And brisk breezes set branches to sway;
at the whimsy of the wind at play....

'Twas a diamond 
    amidst stardust
  struck of gypsy's 
    celestial adoration,
  crashed and sizzled
 'neath earthly intentions,
ultimate shimmers
     escalated upon
       fiercely impetuous seas,
each dappling
    luminescent waves
saturated of
splendiferous galaxies,
   bathed in heavens'
      stellar effulgence, 
mesmerizing wanderlust's
    magnificent indulgences...

You are a thousand miles of sheer delight,
When I turn the key our passions ignite,
Firing off a strong robust heart that's yours,
My knees weaken waxing your sleek contours,
O' my splendiferous, overpriced Genie,
My bright yellow, dream Matchbox* Lamborghini
