Best Octave Poems

I'm stuck in a puddle of mud,
unable to make a quick decision...
whom should I choose from among 
others who have been so noble and kind?
More than a name comes to mind:
Linda, Carrie, Deborah, Catie, Rhoda, Danielle, Charmaine and Karen... 
please don't be envious if I...

I was sixteen when I fell in love
with her soaring skyward voice
Smitten by the sight of
melting ice cream dripping down her hand,
the hand that held the cone
As she smiled, wearing her denim overalls
Had a perfectly shaped Afro,
this beautiful sonorous soul
Minnie Riperton ...
she had the voice...

Dactylic Hexameter

My love for family I do not hide or set high on a wooden shelf.
Baubles of life are here having a jot influence over a rime of things.
One hawks a sweeter enticement diverting us like a small candy elf.
Placed in a closet of my...

The tower’s high with striking chime
its clangor resonates.
With face of time now widely seen
clock’s scene thus viewed dictates.
Its dial white looks free of grime
new cleaning time awaits .
Loud presence yea with polished sheen
our day it regulates...

I find everyone riding the acme of jubilance,
but weeping at their inflated gloominess
Thy lords have created everything,
yet every pneuma is suffering
If you watch closely,
there is so much satire in this tiny sphere,
Every leaf that breathes,
hides an ache deep underneath....

Go high my kite so right.
Seek thy sky flight, flow free.
Make thy way, find breeze light.
Take hold, wee prize, we see.
Tied tail needs airspace height.
Make sleek line tight, jolt me.
Please find wayout, gain space.
Show Lane they windswept grace....

Play this simple tune upon your spinet
so that I can know the notes well, my dear.
Restful music sounding sweet to my ear.
I am greatly eased and made charmed by it.
Home is truly most blessed by whole bit.
We sit listening while her tones are made clear.
Fine,...

Are they really a myth? 
Or in fact, are they a legend? 
Something that's always been invisioned 
In the heart of a child, a Fairytale gift 
Once thought to roam the earth 
Creatures so mystical and magical 
Prancing at the foot of ancient castles 
Enjoying...

Your sweet words given me past time do play
with ease upon this happy mind again.
Together we can take a stroll this day
and I'll relate to you some lofty gain
That lofty gain is you dear Joan, come stay
with me forever through all life's rain
Then I'll give...

"This time alone with you is precious, maid.

Could I but keep the moments sweet with you

from fleeting time’s demand that be not stayed.

All I’d give making veritas less true.

Since I lack power bidding time adieu,

love, I must seize the rose buds e’en what may.

Let me...

Egos aglow, from awesome heroes adorn
Each Legend has a trial, a secret born
It takes more than skill of a Champion to be
It takes equal parts of talent, guarantee
With luck, nerve, hard work made
Champions make the grade 

Afterwards, Champions become Legends very soon
Being the best of...

Me wander into my neighborhood world
Bike riding and flying through the area like a bird
Quick through the cool wind flight
Pursuing down mists in in·fil·trat·ing light
Whispers to the breeze
I feel the twinkle of the sun and the trees
The sky is blue with refreshing air
I feel the...
