Short Veritable Poems

People always believe
in me... not for being
veritable...
But because
I lie sincerely and with conviction... !......

  How did it happen
    the years piling up

  like books stacked at crazy angles
    a veritable house o’ cards

Spoke less,
did not feel like,
lips refused,
and tongue got tied,
throat was dry,
I gulped a little swig,
then spoke in a veritable gig....

buried here beneath
       
          this veritable verdant sod
           
                                    lies another one

Their passion  so unchecked--
                               He dried her tears
                               Before the sorrows struck

A Math Whiz! A veritable Einstein!
Quarky and quirky, a tangent his Shrine
   He never combed his hair
   His sockless feet were bare
Experts wondered: Would this guy's stars align?...

Gravity
Real force spinning
A weight on my knees
Veritable science nonfiction
In a moment the apple fell, Newton noticed
Trusted source of orbiting satellite's permanence
Youth's nemesis...

I know a family that doesn't have much
  But their small abode is spotless
    You can eat off their floors

  'Course that makes them 'classist and racist'
  The home in which they take such pride 
    ~ a veritable eyesore...

and yet we see that life goes on,
and suffer till the sinners gong,
no surprises, maybe realizes,
the nong,
in veritable song:)
what life is?
as hell on earth arises,
strong...

   Neither bells rang
     nor rifles sounded
   The transition quiet
     neither looting nor riots

   A veritable coup
     pulled off by old pros ~ 
   helpless, pinned to the ground
     Cry ‘Uncle,’ Joe, it’s time to go

Suffolk's landscapeer John Constable
was both talented& able
His art 'eye salve' is a veritable treat
he called it more savoury than sweet

There is a vortex in every locomotive
that is at once inert and in moto perpetuo
Beneath that vortex lies a feeling, a veritable
epicenter of grief from which springs the only
real compliment to sentient life and to which
our species has attached the name of suffering....

How they compliment, the sun, the sky
A veritable feast before the eye
My lovely way to greet the day
To breathe it in, let out a sigh

Enchanted then, by the morning dew
Glistening life, on blades renew 
Good morning world, is what I say
A gift given’s this morning view...

There’s nothing like the smell of baking bread,
Made simply with just five ingredients.
A thickly buttered slice of crusty bread –
Unique, this sensory experience.
A timeless recipe, easily read –
Strong flour and water, sugar, fat and yeast :
For rich or poor a veritable feast....

I’ve made a veritable art form
out of ignoring others

Taken it to the highest level,
its crown made out of thorns

Turning my back and looking away,
denying their importance

A world where they do not exist
—no insult could hurt more

There once was a lady from Lynx,
Who was a veritable minx,
she wrote about love,
cooed like a dove,
loved mixing ambiguous drinks.


Now the minx was wearing a wig,
Which made her look like a fig,
And she had the gall,
To hold me in thrall,
And jabbed me with a two-pronged twig!...

Around beguiling courtyard 
                   dwell elegant flowers 
                        growing hither 
               in joyous kindred loveliness
            moreover newly opened peonies 
            quietly ripple softly to ubiquitous 
               veritable winds xenial, yet zen.

Have you seen what is coming to our lives?
A veritable cornucopia 
of delights
   Angels of all kinds
   Kings 
   Queens
Dancers, acrobats, performers
    If life asks you to be happy
    then be happy!
A lexicon of delight 
    Awaits you at the 
end of the road
    a grey sky 
can never destroy 
      the sunlight within...

The City by the Bay is hiring, if you need a great job.
        High pay, to clean streets, after insane, poop mobs?
        Nose plugs and masks are provided totally free!
        In San Francisco's aromatic, veritable 'poopery!'

In the mid of mid night
I whispered
and she was born
in imagination torn
she was an image
in a cage
that I freed along
floating in the mirror
she emerged out
around me she walked about
and she had grown
to adulthood
that was equisite
still she is a whisper
but one that is heard
not alone
but in love songs
that sway out in
veritable herds....

Of the Earth - Earthy


Of the earth….”earthy”
Hell, he was filthy,
a veritable organic “Pig Pen”
complete with dust trail.
The trees “high fived” him
as he walked, quietly,
respectfully, among them.
Forest ruminants contemplated
his simplicity, predators
welcomed his scent,
the earth rejoiced
at his footfalls.

Pure gold does not fear the flame ,
It's really easy to say tham,
But how to identify the veritable,
The truth has different forms,
Sometimes hidden sometimes calm.
i want to know the truth and,
you want to know the truth ,
no body able to say the truth .
there is castle of lies,
how to catch the one,
but don't worry ,
know about gods game,
pure gold does not fear the flame....

I remember this word, when it was a veritable curse;
It spoke of  actions, beliefs, feelings and ideas that were
reprehensible and indefensible, only worthy of our condemnation

I remember when it was a vile and shameful descriptor; 
It was synonymous for ignorance, hate, injustice, inhumanity
It was abhorrent, it was unforgivable, it was.....intolerable

Intolerance..... what has become of you?...

Enamored with desire
Genuine tug she felt
Cuddling sensual love

Till knock on the door
Startled her vision.

Reluctantly she awoke
Knowing why he came
As familiar vibrations
Announced his name

Sounding a warning
When harmony faltered
As the songbird missed
Its rhythm on purpose

Alerting her sanctity
To resume her dream
Opting veritable fantasy
Over spurious reality.

A sultry night,
cascading blues 
dance in moonlight’s caress,
through the mossy-laden
cypresses.

I see a gull
flying in the 
sapphire and white
clouds and think
back to younger days,
when we’d like in the grass
and look for cloud animals.

As silver moonbeams 
jitterbug among the waves,
my heart beats
in ecstasy,
to the music of 
water laughter.

La Bella Luna’s
a veritable charmer.
