Short Twinkly Poems

twinkly sparkly dew
frolicking on marigolds
tulips are jealous...

Eyes on a blue strip
Pictures and stories you speak
Infinite you seem...

sunset I'm leaving
the birds are headed my way
far past the dogwoods

beneath twinkly skies
out past the emerald lane
beyond Silver Lake

the gleeful hour waits
in peach sky rosy morning
where the birds sing sun...

A moment between heaven
and earth
      wrapped in angel hair
            twinkly starlight
muted
      wondering . . .
gifted so with uncommon perception
from above
      heart left there
on poetic earth without care
oh master of pen and ink
      do you blink...

Sparkling gold sequined top.
Glitzy shamrock necklace with twinkly silver chain.
Neon-green gemstone on one hand, pearl on the other.
Spider pin with a fat amber gemstone body and turquoise legs.
I threw on my multi-colored sparkly beads too, for good measure.
I want everyone to know I teach at a grade school....

frosty twinkly ice castle 
gleaming in the north park
dazzlingly sparkly
freshly created
effervescent and admirable
visited by those who love frozen things, 
enticing children
delighting oldsters
designed by artisans
reviving childhood memories
today freshly iced
a confection of beauty
 giving new meaning to frost...

she wants to dance
quietly she waits
will anyone ask her

young man sees her
heart jumps in his chest
will he find his courage

so beautiful
she seems beyond reach
is her beauty a curse

up from his chair
walks across the room
will he find the right words

more boy than man
she sees him approach 
is he a good dancer

a nervous smile
twinkly blue eyes
is that love in his eyes...

She appeared in the middle of a snowflake
Most could not see her, but the fey always can
She flitted around the white snow sprinkling pixie dust
It began to glisten, as twinkly as fifties sequins
Where were her sisters? Had they not arrived yet?
They were along shortly, sprinkling around white glitter
When they were finished the snow had a blueish tint
It was sparkling as prettily as it ever could
The faeries were finished until the next snowfall...

Summer, soon, will be opened 
to all with warm hugs and the blue sea 
will welcome us, cheerfully. And, when 

its pompous eyes rinse the day
in the great bath of its eternal 
breath, the weightless hands of 

twilight night will satiate love and these 
craving cicalas that flirt with the hornpipe dancers 
are indeed twinkly damas de noche, 

whose enamouring flames prowl 
for their naked souls, glowing like 
sparkly jewels in the evening sea....

Freedom turquoise sky, golden wings and me
We are utterly delightfully unencumbered
Loved for ourselves
Admired
Petted

As we float happily on the golden wings
of happiness, sheer enthusiasm and joy
softly float precariously close to our best
friend tree, a twinkly, sparkly, tree of greenness and fun.

A quirky, tree, who has befriended me
And loved me
And taken care of me
Like the wind

Also free and
Fabulous!
I come back often.
To be admired and loved....

Oh, crescent moon in the inky sky above, I wish, WISH that I could fly up and
rest within your curve, together we could watch the twinkly stars, until you fade 
and then I would just fall,  F A L L  gently back into my bed.
