Premium Member A Four Line Poemangels Stautes

Angels statues upon my shelf
Big ones,small and tiny ones
All these angels keep a watch
When I sleep through the night

Premium Member Twenty-First Century American Pastoral

Stock-still statues
  Bucolic totem-poles
    Munching fly-swatters 
      Lazily grazing ... 

Invisible to driverless cars

A Frozen Wasteland

The land lies silent
Beneath the icy embrace
Trees stand still, statues
Whisper of life now dormant
Yet hope lingers in the cold

dogs in rear seat 
looking out windows for deer 
waiting for a response 

barking wildly 
deer freeze like statues 
waiting for silence

Rebuffed

It was a first trip to Europe for Maiden Hews
Who was shocked by the statues of nudes.
She thought it a sin
To show so much skin
Some of which obviously struck her as news.

Wide Eyes, Ears Up

haiku

wide-eyes, ears up
wax statues in the brush
danger lumbers past

baby deer
on a gambol in the snow
instinct kicks in

holding its breath
fawn awaits mother's nod
eye contact

Divided We Stand

Ravage our monuments,
empowered dissidents.
Endless entitlements,
from spineless governments.

In this era unplanned,
by fathers of the land.
Divided we stand,
in moral wasteland.

An Angels Whisper

Angels bring comfort divine. 

Echoing fragile gifts holy intent. 

Just kind love mirrored, no one poses questions. 

Rustic statues tell unique verses with xanthochroid, yearn zenith.

Trapped In Paradise

Soul trapped in paradise, broken like statues, 
bleached out like skeletal structures on sandstone.
Helena's pastries, warm honey skin,
a blanket to smooth back the shape that you're in...

I Give

You protect statues

I protect people 

You give them torches 

I give them bread 

You give them flags 

I give them clothes 

You give them memories of war 

I give them hope for peace

Premium Member the doll stare

There are forty-eight dolls in this guest room
I see them staring at me
Many wear porcelain bonnets
They are statues with accusing faces
I wonder if they came from Salem
I feel they have come for me

Premium Member Toppling Monuments

     Statues, iconoclasts love to destroy
     Toppling monuments brings them great joy
        Keeps them all limber
        As they shout ‘Timber’
      Columbus crashed down saying ~ ‘Land ahoy’
Form: Limerick

Loneliness

I have erected too many statues in the name of love.
Not even they subdued!
Steadily, they tore themselves from their pedestals
and left...

There is no love!
God weeps in my heart...
Don’t cry, Father!

Premium Member Silent Prayers

Listen to poem:
Faithful few
Filled the 
Firmament with
Fundamental fervour
Finally finding, through
Fastidious fellowship,
Future fanatical friends and
Fulfilling the fine frequency
Favourable for forgiveness.
Finally.

Their Limbs Were Not Enough

Sometimes in the late hour,
When mist comes out to greet pavement
We find that we are not
The grand statues we thought we were,
That today will wash away like rain in sewer trails
And that we are still not enough.

Over Under Sideways Down

OVER UNDER INSIDE OUT
(It still doesn’t fit)

The hospital gown
Makes Greek statues frown
You can see it in their sculpted faces
And they say in disgust
That they always will trust
The fig leaf that the gown replaces
fun

blubbering
fools, we humans,
or cold,
syncopated 
by the shivering
bluish lips
of thieves,
erecting
statues
to themselves
in Southern
atmospheric haste.
we wipe away the germs
STAT
stitches up her dress

I Forgot

The moon this night
is a half but tomorrow,
tomorrow it will be the full moon.
When you and I 
open
all the night railway stations,
open
all the short towns.
And all the statues
will become meek 
scars …

I forgot my heart.

She

She says she's sad. She sings 
sad songs. Safe, scared, still 
sane, serious - she sculptures
statues.

She saw some scenes - she says
seemed sins. So she says. Satisfied
she sleeps...

Wedding bells chime 
a New beginning set in place 
taking the Innocence
 to the next level of sophistication
 man -wife 
surrender spiritually 
surrounded by Ivory's purity
 a common peace fills the chapel 
as ancient statues look

SUN-FLOWERING PEOPLE

Black and beautiful…
Liberty’s ebon flowers…
Rooted in freedom…

Like His sunflowers,
Let us stand in bright glory;
Sunshine gleaming us:-

Ebon sunflowers;
Our bright eyes stayed on the prize–
Liberty’s statues:-
