Short Waltzed Poems

I'm not what you spected me to be when
I waltzed into your walkin' into my life.

Neither are you...

ya ready to fly now?...

a horse waltzed over to say

without its usual neigh

he'd kick a farmers pants

for trying to dance

to the sound of munching hay....

She had no pride
Standing naked before the world
Arms out-stretched
To God and sky
Until Spring waltzed in and
Clothed her.

a lovely white swan
 sang as she waltzed on the pond
            hi and very low
  rendering viewers speechless
    Is this her final sawn song...

To a celestial melody,
   stars waltzed in the glimmers of moonlight.

Golden orb hung high
As lovely swans waltzed on pond
The wind gently blew
Birds chirping on a big oak
While Daffodils sway nearby

Rare was the vibe
To which we waltzed
And like plastic pillows
We fondled each others features
Petting each others’ egos
In a wistful manner
No texture of skin
Had ever tasted better...

A fellow from the south of South Africa
Waltzed around in a skirt made of taffeta
Some thought he was strange
With his long curly mane
A lump in his skirt proved him male to the maxima...

A fellow from the south of South Africa
Waltzed around in a skirt made of taffeta
Some thought he was strange
With his long curly mane
A lump in his trunks proved him male to the maxima...

I danced with Grace across marble floors
Her whispers still linger "I am yours, take me"
We waltzed on over to the nearest door
A coat room that we sanctioned heavenly
These memories survive, still haunting me...

The Devil is playing the fiddle, one arm bandit is dancing with Lady Luck
                        To the tune of Old Misery, roll the dice, whiskey is free
                                      Waltzed in rich, stumbled home broke...

Wakened, the winged and winsome wind

wandered westerly while whistling witchery.

It waltzed whimsically within woodlands -

whooshing, then whipping willows.

Worn, it waned. . . whispering wistfully....

‘Twas something strange in the way she waltzed
A majestic triumph of the age
Her classic imagery paints the room
With such vibrant colour

Often this will leave a man to ponder
Upon life’s eccentricities
Will they ever shape into meaning?...

Let me breathe that sea air
that once waltzed through your hair.
Let me view that sunrise
you once graced with your eyes.
Let me taste that baguette
from the morn we first met.
How I've replayed that dawn
since they told me you're gone....

I watched pine tree silhouettes swaying,
dancing as sunlight drowned in the sea.
They waltzed around golden flames of fire
whose embers rose at twilight's gloaming,
kindling a myriad of distant stars to glimmer.

KILLER COMBINATIONS
(two Dodoitsu)

Money isn’t everything
a vibrant smile might win her
or a very charming wit
but    poor    and    ugly?

Pork and beans – my undoing
a big plate of them for lunch
and this harmless little slip
then     she waltzed right in...

She had such humble manners
Princes worshipped at her feet
'Onoured  guest, parties galore
On gilded wings waltzed through life
Kings could gain no higher joy
Each lay under her shadow
Devils come in many shapes!



Apology for not sticking, totally to acrostic-ing. Xx...

A Leaf Danced Lightly
Towards The Ground

It Waltzed Around
& Round & Round

When The Wisp-Song Stopped
Its Woodwind Sounds

The Full-Blown Leaf
Floated Finally Down

& She Changed Her Gown
From Green To Brown

Wettened by the mornings dew 
Closely spaced where rows of roses grew 
Footprints stained the cobblestone 
Where my love and I had walked, alone

Sweet light's tryst with blowy mist 
The fog and the dawn waltzed as we kissed 
Fertile bliss of rosebud lips 
Strands of sunlight round my fingertips...

don't misunderstand
i love feeling happy.
i live for the moments
that make my voice raspy.

gazing up at the moon
and i'm wrapped in a trance.
a willow tree waltzed around the lagoon
and asked me for one last dance.

warm waters, i see the river flooding.
warm waters, i know a change is coming....

THE ALABASTER BALL

Earth sent invitations
To a danse one night
Requesting all invited
Please – to come in white.

The glass-coached clouds assembled
And the Ebon Sky
Banked its brightest fire,
Snuffed each candled eye.

Then the Winds belled music
Set a whirling pace
And down the Heavens
Waltzed the Snows,
In their finest lace....

Ceaseless flames ignite
Morning rose with gleaming light~
Passion takes its flight


Drenched in pouring rain
Love's path they dared to embrace~
Eyes locked, no goodbyes

Whispers in the mist
Love's scene seductively waltzed~
Lightning reveals ghost


Electric Love shines
Her touch ignites my desire~
Cupid's arrow strikes...

She came to the ball in splendid fashion
Her entry slow and sure, full of graces
Her perfume spoke of the smells of fall
and her sweet breath soft on summer faces....

Taking summer by it's  trembling hand
They waltzed together across the fields
Knowing they would meet again next year
And celebrate in glory when  summer yields....



For the Fall contest...

I've walked up blueish poles. 
Gazed upon beautiful ogres.
Sampled minty auroras. 
Vomited the bleeding, unforgiving cold.

I've waltzed a million lily ponds.
To seek a mirage called bliss.
Despite the perils that swirl
Beneath the horizon of all dreams. 

I've put my face to fire.
To kiss a blossoms' lips.
But in the end was given a muzzle of sweet needles.
-the haunt of scented ash....
