Short Vaunted Poems

 
Silently succumbed at night 
To Her intangible sight...
Vaunted muse vanished by dawn -
Vibrant verse humbly lives on.

Virile bibliophile -
Volumes, his vaunted prey -
Vibrant and versatile.
Voracious in a way, 
Vastly varied in style.
Versed quite literary, 
Vermin literally.

The midnight masquerade ball.
Seemingly slight brocade shawl.
Beseechingly glance, decayed hall.
Haunted trance, unafraid fall.
Vaunted skies evade all.
She tries dissuade call.
Decree daylight, unmade, befall....

There was a time when I stood tall

             Especially in college, playing NCAA Volleyball.

   Oh, the trips we went on to the various meets

             Winning and losing in those much vaunted heats.

   We weren't great then, now I can't jump at all....

An ornithologist of renown
studied every bird in town.
Indeed this vaunted scholar of worth
catalogued each tweeting thing on EARTH.
Quickly and thoroughly he dispatched
all those creatures that ever hatched. 
There's only one he didn't tackle.
I'm afraid that was the grackle.

Happy Birthday Barbara
With Love, Frank

Happy birthday Barbara
I am sending you my love
To your vaunted place in Heaven
As you're watching from above

You are gone but not forgotten
For the years we spent in life
You were the best, I could have had
As a lover, friend and wife...

If I bow to the word 
And you keep to the light,
If I live in split halves, 
And you draw inner circles 
On the skin of another,
If you daunt me nosily
And I daunt back the world,
If I live the questions 
That curl around my vaunted solitude
And you thrive on quick, solid responses
Down the unsayable lanes of the mind,
Let us find freedom in the third choices,
In the nonbelonging of the day....

Unseen Treasures
By: Miracle man
November 23, 2020

When his calendar days had finally passed,
before quietly fading, a parting shout.
To family and friends he had been steadfast,
it was unseen treasures he vaunted about.

Matthew 6:20
“But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:”

Azure streams silted with cotton bows
Green, svelte carpet spreads below
Silken florets on tawny branches glow
Yellow daffodils cloak the meadow row
Purple violets' royal fabric vaunted hills hallow
On servile plain, feathery dandelions spread umbrella
Along hedge rows, creamy honeysuckles with sweet dew flow
In dense, brown brush; fledgling chicks from saffron gapes bellow
On the forest floor; jittery, gray squirrels deplete nutty escrow...

Day-like nights
By Luxu

The car wheels roll over
The Horn sounds wildly
The street lamp has its claws
A Vaunted fake moon
Shakes the half of the sky with light
 
The night sobs behind the hills
Stars hide away
People love the light
Better than the dark
The days are stretched like people themselves

A bundle of breaking rubber bands
A cunning fox'tail
A group of drowning men
A last straw
All march out
Deep into the night...

Awake love's vaunted rite of Spring
Fertile flowers; mating bowers
Two hearts join in amorous fling
Nature's caress; fondling showers
Spawning paramours seeds sowing
Warming sun over head towers
Burgeoning heat, truant parts cling
Fecund lads rut away the hours
Plowing ground, then cultivating
Trees with fledgling shoots accreting
Fawning tendrils lust empowers
Coupling birds o'er meadow scours
Bleating consorts talons preening
Nurturing pods; nubile plowers...
