Short Transpose Poems

The opposite of adipose,
Is very, very thin,
And if one could transpose,
I would suppose,
A large excess of skin....

Open Thine Third Eye,
seen shall be that those in one life,
transpose to the next,
many souls, more lives,
one meaning,
one purpose,
when it is found, the world is one less...

Composers compose
     Translators transpose
   Opponents oppose
     R.I.P. in repose...

   Lovers propose
     Doubters suppose
   Bikinis expose
     Writers juxtapose...

   So many words end in 'pose'
     I'd continue ~ but I'm indisposed...

The brainwashed masses,
Wearing rose-colored glasses,
And nonchalantly flashing passes,
Never realizing the hourglasses
Are running out of time.

Miasmic shadows
And dystopian blows
Are working to transpose
The masses' crystal rose
Into a thick unending slime....

My chest holds a cold and heavy load
Suddenly ponderous and dense 
Once my chest was warm alive and breathing
Now I feel weighty angry words flying 
A daily rage unrequited in home and close
But I say quite honestly
Though I feel heavy and lost
My heart is still seeking a gentle peace
My life moving to transpose...

Snowdrops like candy, melting on tongues
   Chilly air dancing, filling our lungs
An eagle overhead, feathers bound tight
   Gray skies of winter, transpose into night

Men struggle and strive in the dark to survive
   Warm summer's memories more dead than alive
A crust of stale bread, an ounce of thin gruel
   Stave off for a moment hunger's specter so cruel...

Writing cute with words of beaut 
He lifts me up with prose,
Preaches words of wisdom
I ate when heard transpose.

For never wrong to sing a song
From heart with all good mind,
Hence often read all of his
Digest and then rewind...

To the start my eyes do dart
Restoring appetite,
Vision with optimism
Bringing much delight.

Spiritual poetry 
Soothing sacred soul,
Admire and aspire..
To better is the goal....

The bliss of French-roast steam, arising,

gives me a moment to compose...

The thought of just one sip invites me

to close my eyes, and then transpose


It warms my thoughts, while I’m surmising...

It wakes my senses, then down it goes…

to thaw my brain, and warm my toes

I refuse to spend
our last minute in grief
so,
(to remove this other visage 
threatening a takeover)
I transpose over it


your face
with that gentle smile
holding in contemplation,
a curious child, me
 
your face 
once ridged in sadness
with an agony 
we carried together,
and now


as my face burns 
with a heart arched 
in sorrow, 
in the knowing yours 
now rests on heaven,


I, am ever thankful 
but still need 
a moment to remember...

No greater fragrance on earth then the scent of a rose 
its the flower lovers choose when they want to propose
Touch it in the sunlight and it will eagerly transpose 
all the beauty it contains, before your heart's enclose 
She is a catalyst for romance, ageless as fine wine 
best appreciate her bravery while there's still time 
Don't encase her while she is still blooming strong,  
but rather enjoy her as if she were a fine love song...
