Short Trifles Poems

The mitre of us
We live, due by our own rules
Skeptical beliefs
Tender tawdry tantrums
Misty colored trifles...

Harry Houser liked to niggle
About things big and little.
Nothing in his sight
Was ever quite right.
Thus he made others squiggle....

Peace on Earth, Oh, We Will Not Comply

Laws Are Trifles, We Will Not Comply....

Trifles of 
          frivolity
& intrigue-
ensemble of
    the esoteric,
gravitate
with audacity,
replicate
     the mundane
in complex
               transpositions...

Always pondering over trifles,
Ceasing to react well in time,
Our decadence is written on our faces,
Review as a critique is the need of hour,
Never place political libertine higher to humanity!...

O' Fairness, fairness
Of thou I do beseech,
trifles of affection
bring hither to my reach
Not a kiss thou shall hold
to bring that darkling hour,
which blinds the eye
to passions quest
and lays our love to sour....

   Blocked out, the memories
     of what ruined our young lives

   Grievous errors of judgment made
     long-buried in archives
  
   Suddenly retrieved, along with our tears
     ~ over such trifles washed oceans of years...

Kermes crushed to yield the dye;
A warming colour of pinkish hue
But a finer harvest can be made
To delight the eyes and taste buds too

Fine in trifles, crumbles and tarts
Shared after summer walks
Or in the depth of winters cold
We'll devour our crimson stalks...

For lovers fighters and wild bronc riders
 heres to the boys from new mexico
we have no trifles 
we hang our balls upon the walls and shoot  'em down with rifles 
when sex rare we'll rape a bear and sleep in dirty ditches 
we'll show them texan boys we're some bad  sons of god...

Stupor stifles our aliveness
In active cognition
Dulling our pristine awareness
Anchor of stagnation 

Resting thought, let joy rise
Each breath, divine surprise 
Vibrant bliss; path of wise

Ego trifles
Stupor stifles

Listen to poem:

Flaws and foibles, dents and blots, 
all viewed as quirky, cute and nice,  
are mere trifles, that makes us lovable.

How quickly the tide can change,
when sensibilities, foil those foibles
into scruples, qualms, faults and vice,
up-welling into wellsprings 
of misery and strife....

Tantalizing

Truffles taunt temptation
Tangelo trifles flirt  
Taffy tempts – sweet come-ons
Tiramisu temptress
Tapioca tart traps
Toffee lures – Turn!  Take off!
Triumph ‘ore seduction

Men meet
And greet.

Friends wait
Then, date

Tough boys
Share toys.

Cute Girls 
Wear pearls

They walk
And talk.

Love bursts
At first

The hitch --
Mood switch

He tries
She sighs

Words heat
Not Sweet

Trifles
Stifle

Hearts scream
No gleam.

Dreams die
Good bye.

Bad blend
The end

As one unable, or wishing
To bear no more this
Each wretched concern, unwarranted
Whilst overstressed is
Respectless Time, great scoffer of
Lasting worth's pretence

Sustain, will he; by this grant of
Symbolic foresight.
Posits you, a soul, bubble-freed
Above which sea's might
Death's dark, that old world engulfs; now
Of no consequence....

tangerine horizon, tantalizing senses,
                 trilling homecoming birds...
                     tweeting mates in warm nests,
              transcends trifles of daily life
                  to great magnificence.

A shored life
awakes the old
patience is a virtue

a wondrous light
a way for the world
one way passage

yielding trifles
abundant returns
nameless faceless

novelties in scrolls
constant to air
The Book of Life

accounts tallies
clearly visible
hidden from sight

chance of a lifetime
warps through glass
bottled sealed....

The simplest weed

                                            will rightfully

                                    inherits heaven's blessing

                                           True perfection

                                         - jewels are trifles

Happy hurling healthy humid hay
  Delight designs deeper display
    Nimble naked naughty nay
     Trouble treats trifles taut
         Dreary dazzle dots
         Scary screams slot
           Mix moods mild
               Word wild

No blood, no bone; 
no sinewy flesh can hide muse’s cries.

No muffler stifles; 
any trifles, of muse’s singing soul.  
A celebrant of life is muse alive.

Intonations paint, blue and pinkish skies.  
The greens and gold’s, 
of earth and time; 
how they revel in muse alive.

Muse upon her natural high; 
gifts us with her best. 
Expressions fly from muse alive.

Ruthless is the wind
It trifles without care
That hearts have grown so fond
Of the maple's scarlet flair~

For with the morning's dew
No leaf was to be spared

Each scarlet leaf has spun away
Not left to bask beneath the sun
No color left to stifle breaths
In autumn's brilliant dawn~

When I'm thinking pro and con,
Of dreams my love is built upon;
A willing mouth a sturdy wrist,
A curious mind , a lovely twist;
Of speech as ancient as first sin,
With shell like ear and dimpled chin.
Shapely limbs and deep dark eyes,
That look at me as though they're wise;.
When I sit and think apart,
Of all I need to fill my heart;
Empty trifles don't trouble me,
They make me glad for normalcy....

Try to smile
Through each mile
This life is a free tour on a train…
Takes you here
Takes you there
Tempting to travel again, again…

Turnings you find
Tunnels profound
Train treads on topsy-turvy terrain…
Travel ahead
Turn not behind
Trace, in every cloud, a silver line…

Try to sing
Try to dance
Try to play trifles like simple flute…
Try to laugh
Try to love
This, indeed, is life's perfect pursuit…...

Salvaged trinkets from less mindful times,
doodads and trifles - mainly yours.
Electrical dinosaurs, 
wrapped in wires and plugs – mine.

Not much furniture: particle board,
cheap impulsive clutter.

Browsers turn over knickknacks,
hope for an overlooked value;
we have none.

We have this jetsam, and this, and this
and that.

Treasures in-between bric-a-brac 
and thingamajigs -
almost priceless, almost worthless....

Be blooming boss
Greasy grime gloss


Make moments move
Grief grapples grooves


Ply petty poise
Niche nurtures noise


Dare dreamy daze
Catch crumbling craze


Sense stupid stay
Pick piquant pay


Symbols sign stains
Pronounce plain pain


Wise words work well
Dance drowsy dwell


Mind minions may
Doom dying day


List lonely loss
True trifles toss
