Short Thrived Poems

Out of the abundance of love,
I fell to the earth and thrived.
How about I use the same love
To love someone and make another me?...

tiny creature Roger guarded
a white albino squirrel
she had been chased away from the tribe
we took her inside and fed her
she thrived under our tutelage

one word can capture them
it captivated them
expectations collapsed

all is well when all is written

we thrived, in the midst of her anxieties, her pride.

Down to the Earth she reside
Although many times she gyved
But from all the negativity she survived
For mental peace many times she skived
But about all her weaknesses she shrived
Yes in this fake world she thrived!...

Child of the thoroughfares
Allowed to wander.
To scurry off with the hares.
Followed of me down.

Craved, thrived in; bend on bend
This gentle bonding.
Through a shared peace, to the end
Kingcup's; cow's of brown....

Signs of strength for having survived
Courage shown on which we have thrived
Aways reminding that human we are
Ready for life having made it this far
Scars are the beautiful hallmarks of life...

With green fingers the gardener worked
Hence the garden thrived and perked,
Ironically when blueberries collected 
Thumbs were stained from fruit selected.

A masquerade party
     ever since 2005
   The hosts floated balloons
     partygoers thrived

   The masks ripped off now
     Jews beheaded and raped
   by those who disavow
     that they're half-human
                   ~ half-ape...

The student that thrived 
And got her degree 
She has a great sense of direction 
Walking a positive path for all to see 
Lifting herself upward 
And climbing that ladder to success 
On to bigger and brighter things 
She will continue to give it her very best...

From scabs to scars
Cosmic stars
The vast distance
The existence of the wound
Not forgotten
But passed over softly by my hand
A faint reminder
Of a distant land
Where life once thrived
Now only sand

For millions of years the dinosaurs thrived,
but when a meteor struck earth, all the dinosaurs died.
Tiny rodent like mammals adapted and survived,
evolving into many varied species of every shape and size.
From these tiny little creatures would evolve you and I.
It was a new dawn. The age of the mammals had arrived....

eerie eyes etched
mystic melody's crest
munching mass sighed
callous contractions thrived
lusty luminescent lurched
damped darkness athirst

then chubby cheeks
gaunt guts greet
aiding airy optics

then sprout neck
melody's mud melt
felon face fetched

i-bahn ileum illusion:
music's mystic transition.

Lost in the mirror, I look out the window.
In contrast, all the days prior to this.
I have thrived on luck and star power.
To have your dreams would be fantastic.
At some point during the process.
How finality I felt, I had forgotten.
Oh, that's a dreadful pity.
I found affection for myself.

seamless affection
will never crumble apart
when together we will always fit
soothe my innermost heart with a rhythm. 
never schism 

my soul
loved you from start 
serenade wraps me ~ as cape
my love for you is burning bright 
passion thrived

flowers naturally gravitated to this beautiful meadow
they arrived renegade, their seeds transplanted by the wind
bluebells, lilies, carnations, roses and daisies thrived here
the ancient battlement in the near distance was thrilled
he had never expected to see anything this gorgeous in this life
a gift from god, he told himself, and of course, they were...

Twisted words with hidden meanings
Not lies, but still deceiving.
I lie in bed I’m dreaming
Those eyes are all I'm seeing.
You tried to be misleading
I died inside still bleeding.
My mind is fried I’m reeling,
I tried I was mistreated.
Once thrived I’m now depleted
But I’ve never retreated.
I’m seated I’m not defeated,
I’ll beat it and be undefeated…...

happy Meadow Lark
filled my days with melody
in Dakota youth
were I to travel back there
would he be singing for me

happy was my lot
in my North Dakota land
worry and care free
as the melodious bird
was he the reason I thrived

could I find my way
in the land of my childhood
back to thrills and trills
would I be sad if my bird 
had forgotten how to sing...

(Dedicated to Selena Quintanilla Perez who died March 31, 1995.)

You were murdered in cold blood in 1995.
While you lived, your music career thrived.
It was sad because you died at the age of twenty-three.
We were both born in 1971, you were the same age as me.
When you died, the music industry lost a great star.
Now you're singing for God because Heaven is where you are....

Wichita Flats was

a town that was once

out west long ago.


Just a sage brush

or two is all

that remains now.


Dance halls thrived

there from one

end of town to the next.


A Cyclone came to

town one day,

carried the town,


clear across Kansas

and beyond, now

Wichita Flats rests

at top of Pikes Peak,

for all to see.

This marine creature grew to as much as ten meters in length.
It had jaws that displayed amazingly quick strength.
A heavily armored fish that thrived in the primeval seas,
this predator could make mince meat out of its adversaries.
All members of this species are extinct and have gone away.
We should be thankful this deadly fish does not live today.

she planted seeds
pulled weeds
grew trees
and was into topiary;

then something grew inside her,
a weed that would not be pulled

the grass grew thick
and everywhere
the crabs thrived
the orchids flourished
and as she was going
the greater they grew
one day she stepped out there
and wilted in the shade
of a giant green flamingo

sometimes i think of her
when it’s hot
pouring pink lemonade....

I Remember 

I remember a time
When all was so bright
With bustling crowds 
And neon lit nights

Covered wagon caterpillars 
And bunnies of blue
Teacups that spun
You sat in them too

I remember the days
When scooters could fly
Pinball was king
And everything thrived

I remember the smells
Of hot dogs & beer
I remember it all
And wish it still there

So glad the spring has come.
The air is soft and warm
with flowers all in form.
Earth’s closer to the sun
whose greening has begun.
To feel good is the norm.

The winter we’ve survived
to see the spring come round. 
Just smell the fresh new ground
where life again has thrived
from seed to be alive,
a miracle profound.

Oh, hear the young birds sing,
as they give praise to Spring.

When Corona came, I was on Reunion Island
Indian Ocean environs, nearer native South Africa ...
Transplanted, I have planted a garden, thrived

Without any research, butternuts survived
But in my pot and that of a friend's -
We grew Mint, Coriander, Hot Peppers, Lentils

The last was a challenge: to clean off the chaff
Transplanted, I planted again in Africa
Marigolds, Neem, Geranium, even white Lilies...
