Twinkles the exceptional lights.
Her Christmas eyes, holiday green.
In the dark you can see her whites.
Shines like the moon on Winter nights.
Her acres startle of twilights.
Twinkles the exceptional lights.
Flamboyant blinker-pomp excites;
And heaven’s angels it delights.
Illuminated halo heights.
Seraphims and cherubims praise.
Twinkles the exceptional lights.
She can’t see what’s out of her sights.
On Holiday she set her sights.
For where does she find the brilliance?
God’s moral code - not wrongs but rights.
Twinkles the exceptional lights.
Closer to the end have I come
~ I enter wrinkle contests for fun
mist rises across the mountain’s wrinkles
painting the hills in His silent embrace
rain, His blessing, gently falls in sprinkles
mist rises across the mountain's wrinkles
laughing, singing, glistening with twinkles
pausing to pray for His abiding grace
mist rises across the mountain's wrinkles
painting the hills in His silent embrace
Old guys
don’t look cool in jeans
with frayed fabric
and faded seams
So I’ve developed
my own unique style
with colourful clothing
accessorized with a smile
For this old guy
a stylish cap is my choice
I have a twinkle in my eye
and a kind gentle voice
It’s true I don’t wear
a younger man’s clothes
It would make me look silly
and I’m not one to pose
So no fashion from Paris
Italy or France
But if you play me some music
I’ll ask you to dance
So even though Old Guys
don’t look cool in jeans
We’re cool in our own way
still living our dreams
Wrinkles and twinkles
A smile and a wink
Colourful clothes with a cap
happy to join you for a drink.
I searched for stars
on a cloudy night...
Absence of stars
provoked my pain...
umpteen firefly
amazed me with
their tiny twinkles;
Telling me with
their silent lights,
" I am not a star
but I can replace their lights".
TWINKLES IN THE SKY
How long does a star live, millenniums,
Or perhaps multiple, unbelievable billions
Seductive, sensuous twinkles in the sky,
Brilliant, bold not shy, that meet the eye,
Maybe even several eras of zillions!
Realms of magic, explosions of light way up high,
Brilliant twinkling mischievous stars that sadly die,
Over billions of years this will occur,
Which makes my heart strings stir,
Astrologists watch and record, on them we rely.
Beacon Twinkles While Skin Wrinkles
Beacon that we are under twinkles,
And as I do get older skin wrinkles;
Die each day;
Pass away;
Now on my grave water sprinkles.

Mind Mixed Up In a Blender
What would happen if I should surrender,
My mind had been mixed up in a blender;
Now equal;
Saw sequel;
Did end up meeting God in His splendor.

Shared twinkles
I gaze up at a star,
upon the evening sky,
lost within the twinkle of its light
And hoping where you are,
you’re gazing up as well.
so we may share it’s twinkle on this night
For as I watch it shine
this chilly autumn eve
a twinkle in the heavens up above
I know this special star
and the twinkle that it sends
illuminates our never ending love
Good night Soupers

crystal flakes twinkle
through autumn's bare canopy...
leaves sparkling in the dark
yellow the tree's hues
painting attic of churchyard...
like fall's innocence

Skat's Autumn Haiku
10/23/2015
As the slight breeze blows
And there is the movement of the sea waves
A beautiful twinkle appears
Which totally has me in a daze
The refection of the sun,
and the movement of the sea
Creates a sea on wonderful little twinkles
Which is captivating for all to see
Sat here in the sun, its probably the most relaxed
That I have ever been
I can't take my eyes off this sea of twinkles
It's the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen
