Whitecaps coffee-white, a bay frosty.
Sails, 99% white,
Always, gotta be one, black or blue,
Freaking tradition-breaker

White man with white baby,
In a white onesie,
Astride his daddy's tummy,
Dad, he ain't dressed warm enough.

All these observations recorded,
Taxed and paid for, with dandy words
Floating by the nook, overlooking
The whitish sandy beach mapped
As Silver Beach,

Where I pray.

Whither white led?
A summary of twenty writes
In four labored days,
A poetry *****,
To say anything else,
Too little, too more.

Overstayed my welcome,
But a white cleansing accomplished,
With look-backs submitted, got some debts paid,
Bills marked overdue, resolved.

The children unblemished,
To new schools and new troubles,
I can only inky-dinky-rinky worry.

This fall is the season of produce or die.
Of these things I don't joke.
If I get pasteurized, won't be a good thing.

This my style after all.
Simplest, to the point where
Poetry is a luxury,
I can't always afford.
What is it about a waterfall
That makes us stand and stare ?
The sight it brings an inner peace
Such tranquility standing there
The sound of the trickling waters
Flowing gently
Down the stream
The intricate rock formations
Arranged so perfectly in between
Such overwhelming beauty
Displayed for all of us to see
Mother nature whispers silently
Best things in life
Are free .................
The rose is the most significant flower
Representing many things
When sent or hand delivered
Much heartfelt joy it brings
There are many different colours
Not everybody knows
Just what each one represents
In the receiving of the rose

There's white representing purity
Orange for desire
Red for love and romance
Pink to spark that fire
Yellow reflecting friendship
Gold forevermore
Then of course on valentines day
It's more significant than before

Of all the flowers
In the garden
This one stands out the most

No need for words

It says it all !

By the language of ... The Rose
This is the most delicate beautiful smelling flower holding such  emotional sentiment in its grasp    Just had to write this after looking at my rose garden
Another day
Another night
Another poem
I must write
Like an addict
It's my fix
Never writing
Contradicts
My greatest pleasure
When I write
This is my Privelage
This is my plight
This is  my air
I need to breath
This is my ground
That stands beneath
This is my love
My passion found
This is my sight
My taste
My sound
This is everything
I can be
No chains
That bind
Completely  Free.............
This says it all

Unaware of my destination,
I'm imagining my days away,
A man with a vivid imagination,
My thoughts often wander too far,
I drew a very detailed picture of hers,
Yes t'was in my mind and not real,
But I ain't a good painter at all,
So I painted her in my mind,
She's a dream-come-true.
Japanese lantern - another instance of concrete poetry.

My HP Poem #418

Drunken,
startling,
stumbling
over thoughts
fleeting,
dendrites, meeting
intersections I forgot
I can’t, you
can’t too,
slumber takes you fast
my mouth moves
unorganized,
singing words that
never last
I wish I
could take back
the feeling I’ve
confessed
they were too
much for you
none in context of jest
so what do
I do now
when silence grows
too much
should I rest my
dreary eyes
and hope sleep comes
robust?
I rub my exhausted eyes
and remember the lack of hours
of dreaming
we’re weeping
at terrifying memories
from a moment
we’ve been stolen
our innocence, and no longer
gullible
'cause believing is
listening to what
really makes sense
and the terrifying
emotions you’ve evoked
and all pretense
is too much for one mind
to brush off with a wave
I cry to your sentiment
and will not sleep for days
Wrote this rather intoxicated.

Come oh my darling so dear,
Come closer & a bit more near,
Come fall in my arms do not fear,
Come I will hug you like a big bear,
Come let us have a cup of warm love,
Come let me kiss away your final tear,
That tear from your eyes will be the last,
We will be purely happy the rest of our life,
We will be surely happy the whole of our life.
The final tear will be in the end when we get married.
More happiness will then follow.
