Textures Poems - Poems about Textures

Evermore

While wending my way one sunny day
in no particular direction
on stopping for reflection
I took a look at flowers by the rustic fence
beside a gnarled old tree
and was amused to see
beautiful colours and textures
which it seemed to me could only be
a painting picturesque
packed with pinks and reds yellows too
while beyond there lay
a field of green beneath

Hair of different textures

In threads of midnight, spun with care,
A canvas woven, beyond compare.
Each strand a brushstroke, fine and bold,
Wild hair, just looking so bold.

A crown of coils, a vibrant might,
Afro's style, a dance of light.
In twists and knots, a moment shown,
Resilient roots, beautifully grown.

With sunlight's kiss, a golden sheen,
Or moonlit shadows, a regal scene.
Loads of textures, rich

Textures

Taste touch
Move much


Treat thought
Pick plot


Glimpse gift
Love lifts


Wise wit
Fond fir


Prize place
Sweet space


Mind moves
Grand grooves


Spread spell
Dream dwell


Choice crafts
Dream draft


Craft choice
Prime poise


Niche nice
Soul spice


Love lines
Feed fine


Soul speaks
Prompt peak

Textures

Burlap and satin, old age and youth,
that’s probably backwards to tell the truth.
Cause something that’s satin, is easily cut.
While hide of pure burlap is tested and tough.

Burlap and satin, old age and youth,
a rigid garment and something that’s smooth.
Shining and snagging with rugged touch
not giving out warmth very much.

Burlap and satin, one up one down,
bulging

Textures

A blank page
Pulp paper laid
A blank stage
Not yet paid


Ooze of ink
Words now verge
Lines of think
In sure purge


Streaks of strain
Ink pulse voice
Stern words plain
Splurge of choice


Poise primes pose
In crisp notes
Just a dose
As thought votes


Text now lines
A blunt squeeze
Mad words brine
A salt sneeze


Brisk breeze blows
Taste the gap
A brief show
In blind map

Textures

Stop for a while
Wear sunlit smiles


Style a fond wit
With cheery bits


Fit delight well
For laughter tells


Spell your name here
With obvious cheer


Steer a path wise
Pun your grand prize


Size a big heart
Let joy fill art


Start where time ends
Seize that blind bend


Send your love out
Dare breeze fond shout


Bout of pure joy
Lingers with ploys


Toy with the road
As you bear load

Textures

Feel the feelings rush
Feel electric brush


Spread of feeling taut
Spread of meaning sought


Swirl of moans that prey
Swirl of grip that sway


Dance of movement speed
Dance of curves that seed


Face the inner shores
Face the outer mores


Lines of verse recite
Lines of rhymes invite


Meaning greets empty
Meaning floods plenty


Textures seeding dreams
Textures changing themes


Touch and feel detours
Touch and feel contours


Waltz upon life's

Textures

Words spring cryptic
Yet disruptive
In kinetics
That surge massive


Words play around
To create tense
In thought and sound
That feel makes sense


Words seem to know
How to be found
As taut lines flow
In certain grounds


Words make a stand
In verse stanzas
As if to tend
New agendas


Words stretch and reach
A common state
To lure and leach
A knowing fate

Different Textures of White

Cold, hard,white, wet ice cubes clink into a glass 'pon a summer day

                                Then they pop and snap when touched by warm tea made

Textures of the Heart

What does
sand and granite 
have in common?

They are both
textures of earth
but they
have significant opposites
as well

For sand cannot
crush granite – 
but granite can 
crush sand
forming layer upon layer 

The sand cannot
sift through or
even dissolve when wet
for the granite is
much to hard and solid

It creates tension
between these two
earthly textures
and whenever this
sort of tension rises…
consequences are sure
to follow
