Poems

Poems on various subjects in various styles. I hope that you like them
Cherry

Gladioli

Gladioli; troupe of dancers flinging green arms above their heads. The spirit of life; of gay romance; their florid petals of flaming red.

June and July (Rhyme)

June and July, how soon they fly but, while they're here, let's smile and cheer.

Wish You Were Here

I wish you were here; I wish you could see sun-shimmer, like starlight, pour over the sea; hear wild blue waves crashing upon golden sand;

Deep Love

Love is not in the skin; the flesh; the hair; the eyes or teeth. True love is found within the heart that’s beating underneath.

Long, slow Summer

The long, slow kiss of summer; enjoy it while it lasts; the dripping honey sunshine; easy breezes brushing past; the sweet nothings of bird song Nature murmurs in your ear;

The Sun Collector

The buzzing bees can never rest; always upon their nectar quest; crawling on daffodils and daisies they must think I am very lazy just lying on my back and snoozing

To a book mite

Little book mite, munching on a page; chewing sayings by some ancient sage; while you’re busy feasting on a book don’t you ever stop to take a look at the pretty words which you devour;

As you sleep, my heart doth sleep

As you sleep, my heart doth sleep and, in your serene beauty, makes its bed.

The Pretty Picture

A picture used to hang upon my wall; a picture of green fields and hills and trees; silver rivers and pure, white waterfalls; blue skies and happy song birds flapping free.

2 Love Poems: Three Magic Words & Love, be Kind

3 Magic Words Three magic words, when spoken, the gates of heaven, open and make the world, bright beautiful and new like music they are to hear; gold dust sprinkled on the air

Dare To Love

If green shoots were far too timid to set themselves free from seeds, we would lose all of those vivid colours that the springtime breeds. If little chicks were all too shy

Cats in the night

What eery sound is that? Wild mating cries of cats; distorted steel guitars or some strange ray from mars in a 50’s drive-in movie. It sends shivers right through me.

An insomniac looks at the stars

Just think, without their blissful light how dark this restless night would be.

Remember the Spring

Remember the Spring when the Earth is cold; remember the sun’s gentle kiss of gold; remember the grass and the flowers that grow when the world is all hidden with ice and snow;
Cherry

The song never heard

though nature gave it voice to spread the air with joys

The Leap of love

Within love’s land, though I may be a stranger and cannot tell what sorrows, there, may hide for you, my love, I’d put my heart in danger; for you such risk is surely justified.

Revolution Today (Lyrics)

1st Verse: Politics are parlour tricks; the fight has already been fixed; no matter who the people choose, the rich will win; the poor will lose. They only make a mockery

Love’s Invocation

Oh, joyous love, come unto me; come fill my heart with pipes and timbrels; the soaring notes of ecstasy; the clash and crash of passions cymbals. Come fill me with fathoms of gold.

The Private and The Free

No high walled garden can compare with wild spring blooms spread everywhere; no bird in a cage ever sings sweetly as those that stretch their wings; no man made lamp e’er shined as bright

The importance of joy

The mole comes up to see the sun and I, I am a lot like he. I’ve lived a life in gloom but none can bear the darkness constantly. Hearts must have joy as lungs need air;

Now my love has put down its roots

Now my love has put down its roots and can’t be shook by wind or storm; bright are its blossoms; sweet, its fruits touched by loves sunlight, gold and warm

The Vastness of Nature

No picture can capture the grandeur of Nature; no canvas is vast as her broad open skies; her clouds, like a snow capped mountain in stature her sun, like a blue god’s bright golden eye
Cherry

The length versus the fullness of life

I’d rather do as flames and flowers do,

The Final Ecstasy

After the dance, we both lie down together and share the ecstasy of love inside. After the dance of life, lie down forever in that ecstasy upon the other side.
Cherry

The Happy Song of Spring

Tomorrow is for fools; Today the spring is here; the sun’s a glistering jewel in the heavens bright and clear; there’s laughter on the breeze and blossoms fill the bough;

The Child and Springtime

Year after year, my colours shall return.

Love Speaks

Into the hearts of men, I go and there, the seeds of roses, sow; the brightest blooms that ever grew, of glittering and golden hue. Upon my flute I play an air

Rainbow Earth (For Earth Day)

The sun is her orange and her yellow; her blue, the seas below and skies above; her green, the leafy trees and grassy meadows; her red, the bright red rose which blooms for love

Life’s Great Carnival

An Infant’s heart begins to beat like a distant booming drum; coming nearer and growing louder, the closer it becomes. And it leads a carnival parade
1 likes

Spring Things

I praise the joyful litany of things that are so wonderful about the Spring; her sun, a golden kiss on bluer skies; her gentle breeze, April’s contented sighs;

Because You Love Me

Your love shields me from all of sorrows darts so none, however sharp, can pierce my heart. I feel blessed, no matter with what I’m cursed and rich, no matter how empty my purse;

Robo-Hobo (Sci-Folk)

I am just a Robo-Hobo riding in a space boxcar; over lazer light rails I go, travelling across the stars. Other folks may live under domes but I’ve got no fixed address;

The Day Nature Got Tired

a smile spreading across the mothers face. Mankind had tried to put Nature in fetters but, perhaps, this species would do better; choose love, respect and kindness as its path.

Summerfly

Running through a summers day, I chased a butterfly of blue and gold but it would always fly away; would never stay still long enough to hold. That butterfly has long since gone

Treerobics

No wonder trees are all so slim; the way they bend and stretch their limbs; doing Treerobics all day long to keep them healthy, fit and strong.

Often the door to my Heaven opens; sometimes in the heart of a rose;

Springtime is Swingtime

Honey bees all jive in their be-bop hive; all the little bugs do the jitterbug. The daffodils grow like trumpets that blow; roses root-toot-toot in their red zoot suits.

Two little birds

Two little birds dance far above, performing their beautiful ballet of love; Rogers and Astaire on the stage of the air; they whirl and they glide, always side by side.

Nature’s Comfort

A love for Nature’s never unrequited. Into Earth’s spreading arms, we’re all invited. To each of us, the sunset’s kiss, she blows; for all the golden bloom of sunrise grows;

April Rain

Silver April raindrops shower; over everything they pour; touching all with Midas power; polishing the whole world’s floor; transforming the grey and grimmer

The Sanderlings

Long beaked sea-birds seek out little morsels on the shore. Anything they eke out is a thing they’re thankful for. Eagerly sanderlings scurry as the waves retreat;
1 likes

Distant Voices

Distant voices are blurred; noises instead of words; arguments become storms; gentle laughter like birds; angry mobs bray and roar; crowds are waves on the shore but though you hear far less

The bower of my heart

My memory was given to adorn with twinkling silver nights and golden dawns; bright skies of woad and eve’s of indigo; green leaves and grass and every bloom that grows;

The irresistible Spring

The seed cannot contain the flower once it has heard the voice of Spring, nor has the cocoon any power to hold back the butterflies wings; the change of season has begun

On the scarcity of love

but love is an emotion; there should be mountains; there should be oceans

The Spring of Tom Thumb

Just wee Tom Thumb am I; lost in the towering grass; leaning upon the trunk of every daffodil I pass. My life span may be days; my heart beat a bee’s wing but I’m honoured to gaze

Albino Children

Albino children dance in the moonlight; the sun’s far too bright but the stars just right for their complexion, pale and the sweet nightingale sings its enchanting song

2 Poems : 'The Valiant Sun King' and 'The Sun Peers In A Classroom'

The rolling, golden bowling ball of sun shatters all the tall skittles of night; driving blackness back to oblivion with its amazing blades of blazing light.

Spring Forth

The axis of the earth rotates towards the sun; cold winters at an end; bold spring has just begun; a time to venture forth; for life to stretch its legs;

Spring is Here At Last

Chilly winter days are past. The happy spring is here at last. The sun that hid its head away is spreading all its golden rays. The birds are singing merrily in every branch of every tree

Blooms

Blooms are brooms to sweep winter away; brushes to paint the world bright and gay; fairy wands that cast colourful spells; Nature’s symphony of ringing bells;
Cherry

Baleen Ballet

Regally, like a queen, the beautiful baleen waves her tail up and down and makes a mellow cello sound. While, like in a ballet, her calf, around her, plays; he glides between her fins,

Butterflies

The wings of the blue morpho have no patterns; they look just like blue lingerie of satin. The swallowtail’s pretty wings always look just like crayon in a colouring book.

Bluebells blooming

Bluebells blooming; life resuming after winter harsh and cold; roses spraying sweet perfume and daffodils spreading their gold. Poppies popping up, no stopping Springtime once it has begun

Aurora Borealis

Aurora Borealis awe-inspiring sight; when God takes out her paintbrush, splashing skies with coloured light; like ancient spirits dancing; or vast silk veils of green and red,

A Peaceful February Day

It is a peaceful day. The Earth tranquilly lays beneath the sky’s broad gaze and happy birds flit about, flap and play. A gentle, quiet breeze strokes through the willow trees

When March makes up her mind

When March makes up her mind to burst into the spring; bright blooms, from seeds, unwind and all the birds unfold their wings to embrace the broad blue skies and the sun that seems so shy

March

Oh, march; why are you so coy? Why not open yourself to joy? The passion of green fire blazing. The Springtime can be so amazing. Oh, march; why are you so shy?

Haiku (For St Patrick's Day)

Emerald Shamrock whose three hearts of green help lift my one heavy heart.

The Robin

Mr Robins always brightly dressed; a red waistcoat wrapped round his portly breast and, over that, a long tail coat of brown; his tails forever flapping up and down.

The True Golden Dawn

They have taken the name of Eos in vain. The true golden dawn is a time of great peace. It’s a loving touch that brings warmth and not pain and smiles upon immigrant faces in Greece.

She

She is the fox with its fiery tail; the whirl in a shell worn by a garden snail; the red in the rosebud; the blue in bluebells; the little black dots on a ladybirds shell.

Sea of bluebells

The bluebell’s slender, curling cloches pour down just like water that sploshes, as over woodland floors it washes in pools deep enough for galoshes. Even bark covered trunks of trees

Epicurus

Sage birds enjoy their singing and I enjoy to hear their voices brightly ringing, bringing sweetness to my ear. Wise flowers enjoy the sunshine; their round faces beam with smiles

Springtime, like a friend

Light and Music

How loud it is, love’s music; it’s deafening to our ears; how strange then that it’s music only we two can hear. And oh how bright love’s lustre; like a star in the sky

The Element of Ecstasy

When East and West winds are entwined; their bodies, a great whirlwind make. When Earth’s in ecstasy, divine; that’s when we feel the planet shake. When oceans are, with passions, wracked
