an ocean of tears
drowns my brokenhearted soul
floating on despair
the wings of love fly away
my wistful heart seeks solace

what wistful phoenix
sleeps within the blood of leaves-

The final vestige of autumnal reign
Releases its exhausted grip on life ~ 
A wistful willow quivers as its last leaf falls.

There a she is 
viewed to the right 

My willow aslant a brook

I remember

Still there her wistful glance
Oh my !

I lift the sleeve of time and years
To a little grass hut that brings wistful tears
for fragrant leis and Koa bowls
For rainbows arc-and friendly souls.

Premium Member Wee Willards Wild Wistful Tales

Willard was a wily wizened wonderful wizard
Who willingly wrote wildly wonderous tales,
Were Willard’s wild tales wistful?
Wish we knew, Wilbur wailed, wondering.

Beaches

Through turquoise  houses
curtain nets a twitching
Ladies trousers wistful 
maybe tomorrow a change
I am the breeze
cool as beaches
promenades are seen for miles

Wistful

Drifting through the quietly gleaming forest,
Snowflakes falling, silently glinting, melting,       
Gracing wings of chickadees chirping gladly... 
Wistfully dreaming

Premium Member Sunshine Missed

flower of morning diamond dew kissed, musk rose red grape skies overhead wistful in the mist so long yearning for peach sun green birds sing sudden

Part Time Poet

doubtful
hopeful
wistful
willful
there lives a doubtful, hopeful darkness
in her wistful, willful mind of gloominess.

Premium Member One Misty Recall

I gaze at sun drenched mists
deliriously stunned 
by rippling echos of 
wistful sand dune swirl grains  
where  spring flames shed twilight  
on love’s quaint misty shore

Premium Member Limiting Her Wistful Thoughts

she is not usually wistful
this is one of those rare exceptions
she is allowing herself one regret
limiting herself to devoting only ten minutes
choosing to dwell on positives

Premium Member Wistful

Wistful, 
       wondering why.
                 Weeping. 
She cried alone, 
      as she sat 
             on rugged rock,
                 ruing she ever loved.

Makita Xvii: Plastic Lasers

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
