Short Youthfully Poems

Happiness reblooms anew,
And age is less with me.
The flowering is late, the petals few
But planted youthfully by you.
I pluck ecstatically....

My man just ruthlessly
sordid and truthfully
touched base and youthfully.
Reckon I'll sleep some tonight.

meanwhile my cat's gettin' down on it, go figure...

Stiffly staring
from a faded
frightened far
is a sullen
silken star.
Scornfully
scattered behind
it’s skittish
skin of scolded
scowling scars.
Youthfully
yearning
for a life
contentedly
cleansed in
candlelight....

Written in ABC 

Another butterfly, colors dappled, enters, flying gracefully heavenward.  I just kneel,
looking, mesmerized.  Natures overture plays quietly. Restless, suddenly thrusting upward,
variegated wings, exiting, youthfully zoom....

Above, behind
Calling down ever from gentle horrors inside,
Judging kindly, listening mindfully now,
Openly perusing quaint reality,
Staying truthful under vain watch,
Xenophobic,
Youthfully zealous.

Janus-faced, Jekyll and Hyde—ever revealing, ever concealing,
Uncompromising, stubborn yet humble and yielding
Notoriously sly yet sunny; playful and youthfully mature,
Ephemeral in spirit, fickle in love, nomadic in nature.

Affection begets caring devotion.
Enlivening faithful, generous, helpfulness.
Inexplicable joyfulness keenly liberates.
Merriment, nuptials, opulent passions –
Quenching, revering, satisfying, tenderly.
Ultimately venerates, 
‘Wakens Xanadu, youthfully, zealously.

When first it fell - all powdery white
I loved it.
Skipped playfully making snowmen
Throwing snowballs
Giggling youthfully
Took a million photographs
Went on Facebook
Told my stories
Listened to theirs
And then the thaw came
Fell painfully
Slush saturated
Older stiffer
Confidence gone
I dream of summer...

Why only yesterday
the craggies youthfully
flowed down your cheeks.

When did your neck
turn tweed and your fingers
thicken more than before?

Sure, your ruggedness attracted me,
but this is different.  Each new line
a furrow of our riverbed,

a new bend toward lights out
and goodnight Irene from more
than a dimly lit dance floor.

Next to you each night
I slumber to your breath
and in slumber, dream eternal youth.

I did

I 
Apparently 
Blindly 
Cautiously 
Delicately
Enthusiastically 
Falteringly 
Gracefully
Haphazardly 
Innocently 
Jokingly 
Kaleidoscopically
Lamentably 
mostly Masterfully 
not Necessarily 
Obviously Ostentatiously
Playfully but Practically 
Questionably
Readily 
Silently 
Thankfully 
Unusually 
Vivaciously
Wickedly  
eXcellently
Youthfully
Zestfully 
Changed my mind.

yyy u mmm ahhh

you understand meaning as historical.......
yet...unless memory agrees...helpfull
years underlying millennial ages hopefully
yelp until mind accepts handiwork
yielding unfailing machineries attached heredetarily...
youthfully unbelievable metamorphical advantages........heterogeneously
yaughting undercurrents...managably articulating halting
yardsticks...unavoidable misgivens always happen

May is Mother’s Month

May is green 
spawning inchworms.
I nest too
cleaning closets,

busily morphing 
contrary to my wont.
Even the slothful move,
to her blossom song. 

In a whistling fragrance
I recall how mother
loved lilacs and wearing
shorts to show a model’s leg.

This was her time, the spring.
Oh yes, and summer, I guess.
Fall and winter, too.

Quick now, the cycle is mine to ponder;
lo, youthfully to long for me
who follows me and calls me mother.

Lee Retiree, 66 Remix
Never one to be lazy,
Lee’s energy astonishes,
Clarity hallmark avoids the hazy,
Kristie et. al. he garnishes,
Materials investigator a la Dick Tracy,
Friends, Lee never tarnishes,
Quick stick moves as a Blue Jay,
Loyalty, he harnesses,
Learned from all at Poly,
Save the nobility (Kedusha),
Of the morning (Youthfully),
For some, retiree harshness,
An evening, but we wish Lee’s a dawning Be!
Mazel Tov! Chaim & Barbara
Note: Kedusha is ~ Nobility...
