Barbara Mcguire Fiore Poem
She glides out of the room on tiptoe,
As graceful as a sinuous ballet,
Sliding past sad memories that flow,
Staring, scowling eyes upon her still prey.
As graceful as a sinuous ballet,
Stealthily steadfast, slipping slowly,
Staring, scowling eyes upon her still prey,
She’s ready to strike bloodthirstily.
Stealthily steadfast, slipping slowly,
Marked double-crossing husband might have guessed,
She’s ready to strike bloodthirstily,
As he unwittingly lies down to rest.
Marked double-crossing husband might have guessed,
Slithering snakelike, it’s his scornful wife,
As he unwittingly lies down to rest,
She swoops in silently with sharpened knife.
Like a surgeon’s slash it’s very precise,
Sliding past sad memories that flow,
With bloodied knife in hand, it’s once, twice, thrice,
She glides out of the room on tiptoe.

Barbara Mcguire Fiore Poem
Newlyweds,
Ever hopeful,
With confidence loves.
Belonging,
Euphorically,
Giving joyfully.
Inspired,
Nuptial vows,
Newly committed.
Inspirit,
Now evermore,
Gratifyingly,
Surrenders.

Barbara Mcguire Fiore Poem
When I first saw you,
I said merci beaucoup.
Wonderment filled your eyes.
You calmed to my lullabies.
You have an affect,
Which I did not expect.
Your smile lights up a room,
Your laughter is the kaboom!
Your disposition,
Is ammunition,
For originality,
Individuality.
As I watch you grow,
Into a wondrous Snow,
Seek your light from above,
And soar like a mighty dove.

Luna Mutt Natalie’s Puppy
Little Luna licked a lot of lamb lollipops.
A lot of lamb lollipops little Luna licked.
If little Luna licked a lot of lamb lollipops,
Where’s the lot of lamb lollipops little Luna licked?
Mama’s mutt makes many melodic muffled musings.
Many melodic muffled musings mama’s mutt makes.
If mama’s mutt makes many melodic muffled musings,
What are the many muffled musings mama’s mutt makes?
Natalie’s nipper nudges newfangled novelties.
Newfangled novelties Natalie’s nipper nudges.
If Natalie’s nipper nudges newfangled novelties,
Where’s the newfangled novelties Natalie’s nipper nudges?
Playful puppy perched on a purple platform.
On a purple platform playful puppy perched.
If playful puppy perched on a purple platform,
Where’s the purple platform playful puppy perched on?

Barbara Mcguire Fiore Poem
Sending Love to My Papa
Underneath his multiple dark layers,
He was desperately seeking the light.
Wolves dressed in sheep’s clothing his betrayers,
Kinsman who disregarded his cruel plight.
Memories of guilt, loneliness, and shame,
Ruined and fragmented his tortured soul.
Years of misdeeds and their utter disdain,
He spiraled down an abysmal hellhole.
Tragic mother’s attempt at suicide.
Philandering father bedding hussies.
Abandoned precious children mortified.
Devastating hearts of blameless babies.
Ignored was the beauty of innocence,
Unearthed by kind love and strong resilience.

Barbara Mcguire Fiore Poem
Eyes newly opened, and who do I see?
My guardian angel, looking at me.
To know my desires, now that fact is key.
Loving me affectionately it’s free.
Love, do you have it in your possession?
Give it eagerly at your discretion,
Lest you lead me to a hard rejection.
Little babe needs it for true progression.
Lead by example it's often been said.
Reciprocal love now go right ahead.
Heed my needs, my cries, my longings and dread.
The love, the hugs, the kisses crave the spread.

Barbara Mcguire Fiore Poem
Eyes shimmer sky-kissed blue.
Cheeks whisper a rosy hue.
Smiles and laughter breakthrough,
When we play fun peekaboo.
Lips create Cupid’s bow.
Hair sun-kissed strawberry flow.
Sense of calm rests below,
As I watch you bloom and grow.
Painting radiant beams,
With irresistible gleam.
Dancing through rich daydreams,
Developing self esteem.
Little sister that’s true.
Learning skills each day anew.
Following what you do,
Little angel, all day through.
Frankie’s July fifth debut,
Smiles and laughter breakthrough.
Open ever watching you,
Eyes shimmer sky-kissed blue.

Barbara Mcguire Fiore Poem
Lost in the sorrow of heartache,
Quietness becomes a best friend.
Like sun heavenward at daybreak,
Death rises and burns in the end.
Longing for carefree days,
A splendid book in hand,
Soaking sultry sun rays,
Toes hidden deep in the sand.
Floating, drifting just barely,
Feeling herself slipping under,
Hearing him call her, “Gerry,”
Keeps her from going asunder.
Savoring the familiar aroma,
Of morning’s first cup of coffee,
Foreseeing today’s dilemma,
Patience and fortitude her plea.
Recalling his passionate kisses,
And lustful romantic evenings,
Hunger of nighttime blisses,
Enveloped in loving feelings.
His aching voice brings her back,
Pain is a hard pill to swallow,
Exhaustion becomes a true setback,
High days have morphed into low.
Peacefully he takes his last breath,
Like sun heavenward at daybreak.
Eternal rest comes at death,
Lost in the sorrow of heartache.
