"beaner" poems - Hello Poetry

WALLS (Verona) Mon ami tu vas where star-crossed hearts' confessions hides your saint in bricks. NAPE Warm whispers of lips down smooth meadows of your neck, my familiar bed. VATTO Gang signs, ink, and blood ****** in a low beamer Cool kissing his gun. BIGOT Burning up with hate like an oil spill on one's soul heartless mouths pollute. NIJINSKY So divine such grace words not made to embody Ballet when God speaks. OSMOSIS Blossoms in winter bursts of Japanese kisses how to love haiku. BLUR Tears are no longer loose and quick to disarray how sight understands. BARRIER REEF Great walls dividing Vast cold deeps from Summer seas "Hail Metropolis!"

WALLS & BARRIER REEF (8 Haiku/Senryu)

WALLS (Verona) Mon ami tu vas where star-crossed hearts' confessions hides your saint in bricks. NAPE Warm whispers of lips down smooth meadows of your neck, my familiar bed. VATTO Gang signs, ink, and blood ****** in a low beamer Cool kissing his gun. BIGOT Burning up with hate like an oil spill on one's soul heartless mouths pollute. NIJINSKY So divine such grace words not made to embody Ballet when God speaks. OSMOSIS Blossoms in winter bursts of Japanese kisses how to love haiku. BLUR Tears are no longer loose and quick to disarray how sight understands. BARRIER REEF Great walls dividing Vast cold deeps from Summer seas "Hail Metropolis!"

ROAD Where choices begin; Some are quick to find its end. Wise keep journeying. CARPOOLING The heavy traffic An ocean's slow ebbing tide Our patience drowns in. METEOR SHOWER Friday night space-lights As we caress the hours Streaks across the sky. STAINED GLASS Broken pieces shapes The Cathedral of one's soul. Stained light still shines true. TAI CHI Dawn's ceremony Wet grass tickling bare feet. Wave away the night. FRACKING Jonesy punctures black Points in caves, Great Mother weeps Wells of poison rain. NIJINSKY So divine his grace Words not made to embody Ballet when God speaks. MY WINTER GIFT Skin so Downey white, Like a cold glass of fresh milk. Unwrapping Christmas. FRENCH KISS Such buttery lips Silken creams, wrapping our tongues. Sweet patisserie. VATTO Gang signs, ink, and blood. ****** in a low Beamer. Cool kissing his gun. ROSARIES Madre genuflects In brown countries of her hands Old beads, sweat, and faith. DRIVE THRU WEDDING Romance thru sunroofs Hallelujah honeymoons Marriage number two. HOT TIN ROOFS A light Summer breeze Cools cacophonous bodies like hot stars at night. NOSTRADAMUS Doomsday Soothsayer. His visions doth entertain Medieval profits. CHINA Man's golden lotus. A wealth of divine knowledge. Heavenly on Earth. FIREWORKS Our toast to Heaven. Chrysanthemums igniting The night's colbalt sky. ORIGAMI The creases of us Tales of dragons and white ships. Neatly folded sheets. BON VOYAGE Like wide sails that cup The high winds of this marriage, I'm at love's mercy... OSMOSIS Blossoms in spring time. Bursts of Japanese kisses. How to love haiku. HOMONCULUS Ultrasound preform Whose quickened heart is my own: A mandragora. 12 STEPS Most Alcoholics Who drown in their own thirst know How deep "empty" hurts.
