Premium MemberWinsome Chance Huitain

In a meadow of death a rose, 
our remains shed skin quietly;
Thorns fall out as we decompose,
A bit of you and some of me;
Feeding the soil triumphantly,
reviving a bloom of romance;
Caught the kiss of a honeybee,
fertilizing spring’s winsome chance.

Old man as if with winsome wife

The learning of he who lacks poise,
In coward’s hand arms carried rife,
Contentment there’s, nor calm repose
To old man with a winsome wife.

Roast and Wait

If lies are told to save,
Will sin be judged at the grave?
Smile darling! The winsome homely,
You never change; your hair needs no tatting,
So in penury, your short smile you gave.

Premium MemberWinsome Visage of Spring

Where hyacinths bloom, cardinals hop and sing,
Winsome is the visage of verdant vibrant spring
Beautifying fragrant prairies, blossoming trees,
Alluring bees waltzing on wings of tender breeze
Undulating gleefully crest of burbling streams,
Frolicking on melodies of robin’s nesting dreams,
Euphoric in hilarity of dancing yellow daffodils,
Merriment of white lilies, panorama of foothills,
Spring’s revelry buoying where butterflies spree,
An eagle’s flight

Armed with luminosity, 
    And with epiphanous numinosity,
With snicker-snacks, 
     And a few quick hacks
The winsome knight vanquished

Premium MemberSeasons Winsome

Spring tantalizingly unfolds vernal, winsome
Blossoms of lilies pristine, undulating to appease
Fawning nectar-dreams adrift on wings of bees
Frolicking tranquility of rustling flowering trees

Refulgent summer, too, unpacks variegated
Revelry on rivers, oceans, flamboyant meadows
As ubiquitously nature paints blooms primrose
On hills and valleys oscillating jubilant shadows

Autumn’s brilliance courts dazzling ebullience
Of mellowed sun scintillating eventide’s ruby glow
Where gamboge leaves of

Winsome Wisteria Sonnet

Eden, open your ardent arms to grace 
Wisteria's soft lilac petaled blooms 
Draped stunningly about Spring’s sunny face 
In softest shades of lavender like plumes. 
Your aroma wafts heady in the breeze 
When graceful racemes descend from above. 
Divine as the frilling flowering trees 
Your stunning sight captures my heart with love. 
Goddess

Premium MemberWinsome Witch Watches Warlock

If he gets a step closer I will pulverize him.
Winsome Witch Wisteria White whispered to Big Jim.
Lightning lit up the sky, and they saw the warlock’s face.
He was masculine, kindly handsome with sexual grace.

You can’t keep this one! Big Jim said with clairsentient alarm.
She laughed and greeted the warlock, all tingly and warm.
I’m going to

Weighty is the charm in its fulsome
Irresistibly well and wholesome
Never short of radiance so fearsome
Soft, sweet and gentle, all is her sum
Of this rare beauty, please give me some

Baby
Helpless, trusting
A fresh start for many
Sleepless nights for a great reason
The holding, hugging, rocking, cuddling
Touching of tiny baby fingers
Delightfulness unfolds
Winsome, playful

Premium MemberThe Winsome Gate of Winterborne

Uplift the scent of stars from nightshade.
Sprinkle moondust upon unearthly skies.
Portals light up
And smile within.
Welcome to the garden of breathless night.

Swings the cedar from the country porch.
Chiming butterflies verdigris flight.
Charmed in calico dress,
Summer flirts with the best.
Nearby birdhouse-chapel whitewashed with light.

The wicker basket and hallowed bells of bicycle mourn.
The lovers depart at the winsome gate

Winsome Losesome

I’ve been so wrong so many times
and for my multifarious crimes
as the kind of man who makes 
the dumbest of all dumb mistakes 
as if for lolly,
have grown accustomed to the folly
of my ways 
and misspent days.
To fall in love, not once or twice
or even thrice, 
but hopefully not more than four
times, means the only

Winsome Rebel

Winsome student enrolled with a rap sheet name,
school authorities rue the day you first came

Such a young fearless rebel,
mischief and mayhem always seem to follow
Wonder who made the bathroom toilets explode

Plead your rebellious cause,
explain the flooded basement hall
The cost of educating you ain't small,
but it do give the principal pause

Your substitute teacher is scared,
her students

Winsome

One woman of a certain percentage,
Kept her upkeep to skillful advantage.
As the years sped past,
She maintained her class;
Not turning old but into fine vintage.

Ashes Of Youth, Its Winsome Colors Gone

Time had came, last night of dear life had called
ashes of youth, its winsome colors gone.
Left, shades of joyful life, all it enthralled
leaving then, no longer could she hang on.
Stood not, power to cease chiming clocks ticks
nor grant more sweet days of touching them all.
At last slow motion came,
