Short Varicolored Poems

In perpetual sunshine of years, a bouquet a day,
varicolored and beautiful, chanting blooms' warm, deep yellow praise!
My garden gleeful is always looking on the bright side....

the sunshine stunners
a varicolored valley
calla lilies wild

blacks reds and orange
at home with pinks and yellows
the swinging season

pink robin in leaves
strutting towards the sunset
unseen gardener...

After buttercups came daisies,
exquisite floating garnet hibiscus, 
iris, jasmine, kooky little marigolds,
nasturshums, orchids, petunias, roses, 
sunflowers,trailing varicolored wisteria,
xerophites, and yellow zinnias....

anthers of orange and gold
a large pink bloom soaks the sun
light pink here and dark pink there
with streaks of purple

fragrance fills the summertime
forever lived in one day
beauty sensed by the senses
never unnoticed...

They were extremely fragrant,
On the last night of my life,
As I dreamt of blooms rampant-
A part of the lunar nightlife!
Varicolored flowers did bloom,
All over the dark silvery moon.

prismatic trees sway
as I ramble through the woods
picturesque hued fall

chrysanthemum blooms
among varicolored leaves
scarlet migrant birds

pale lemon sunshine
aged summer's lost his might
and is fading fast

the eyes of autumn
follow each beautiful sight
arrested by hues...

the queen of flowers
symbol of birth spring and love
hued belle of the dawn

elegant, lovely
varicolored or one shade
more fragrant at night

a beloved queen
on the green, scent meets freshness
in hour of power

darling of Hawaii
for beauty, sunshine's falling
in rich golden days...

Tulips of morning
just waked from amaranth dreams,
meet glittering sun.
Dogwood rose opens redly
Pink dawn's jewel shines steady.

Beautiful flowers
respond to warmth's mute caress!
They're a dream come true
in varicolored versions
'ere dusk dreams, in beds again!

sun on autumn leaves
struck it rich with gold on gold
hued blossoms shiver

chill winds wandering
with varicolored birds, far
time's slow surrender

on saying goodbye
nature leaves hued memories
roses of the heart

richest days ripely
in the sunshine of our lives
where He shines His light...

Fair beast, brighter than the sun,
My gentle and fierce protector
Ancient in myth, afraid of none
Whose sweet roar, a soul collector

Your power's unmatched, an enigma in time
Flames flicker from your multi-faced disguise
My blended and varicolored paradigm
With instinctive desire behind noble eyes...

Huge blossoms perched in a crystal vase;
And how it sparkled!
While early evening sun came in slanting,
In intense burgundy golden rays, flaming.
Beauty blooms bounced at west window,
And colors were flashing!
In a summer turned hummer-honeybees.
Varicolored blooms grace evening- so new,
Just as pearls in green grass-morning dew!...

Gossamer wings are dancing on spicy wind,
In maddening swirls of color and sunshine!
Red mists scattered, gone around the bend,
And mauve wisteria cascades from its vine.

Hummingbird premieres in dance hall days,
Along with butterflies stunningly varicolored.
Colors travel with winds in the sunny blaze,
Over the tall emerald grasses, lately stirred....

Recent rain has fallen on the slick city streets,
And redbird has suddenly abandoned the fast life!
Downtown still throbs with the city's heartbeats,
Like vast fields, in the time of red butterflies.

Varicolored and ever-changing, as untamed nature,
In its endless movement, charm, sights and sounds,
As sleek cars whiz past, carrying a hint of danger,
In a merry watery world, which vibrancy surrounds....

Dappled dawn slowly raised its shade
As brindled pit-bull puppies played
Patiently the fisherman hooks the mottled rose-dotted trout
Peppiness in his laughter rings out 
Lazily the varicolored finch's wings raise him up
Elaborately bedazzled is a spring buttercup
Day to night nature is dappled from higher-up

Saffron sun shone brightly, though it was a rainy day,
And varicolored umbrellas were up, in wild vivid array.
All shades were abloom, on the beautiful Dahlia Avenue,
And smiles were seen, in slanting rain of silvery hue!
Such mellow yellow gold, out of violet midnight dreams-
Like the heart of motley autumn, wearing spring greens!

Varicolored smoke bombs, at a three generation celebration,
Splendors, rest and excitement, on a sun drenched vacation,
A heart bursting with song, love following wherever you go;
And the return to raptures, beneath a multicolored rainbow!
Fragrant flowers opening wide, their petals to gold summer,
And a moonlit tango enchantment, on ebony edges of slumber.

It springs upon you;
gleaming clawed metaphors
struggle to unhinge.

Many-legged adjectives
commence to crawl over the page
shedding endless varicolored skins.
Whole lines turn into robotic centipedes.
Then the seductive purr,
the mannered modes, the manicured forms,
the unmistakable reek of poetry.

The first step they say is 'recognition',
the second step is
to bleat indignantly about poetic license.

The third step is to clean up
after the poem craps itself....
