Best Sestet Poems

(Glossa Rubaiyat written in Sestet) 



The day is done, and the darkness 
Falls from the wings of night, 
As a feather is wafted downward 
From an eagle in his flight. 
(From "The Day Is Done" by Henry W. Longfellow) 


The day is done, and the...

How do I know the pen is she
in just the words on screen.
Her little twists of language
her voice then smiles between
the lines of prose and poetry;
I know it's her I've seen....

Beauty of Paris rising high
Such massive latticework is seen
At night a golden color's view
Three levels given public's try
Restaurants on levels are keen
This tower's sight could be for you...

Scene is set my eyes tightly shut
Hand  outstretched wanting yours to hold.
Candles sit, waiting for the flame
which ignites from within our lust.
Where are you my lover be bold
Come closer calling out my name

WILD MEADOWS
Wild meadows left and right, guarded
by hedgerows, each side with gates,
openings on sites regarded
macro, wildlife wonders, elate's
scientist, biologist, all.
We venture into grasses tall. 

Eyes wide open, and cameras
all to hand, notebooks recording.
A shout goes up, tarantulas!
Some idiot had been hoarding.
We, for them grateful; took...

Do you not know I’ve always loved you?
That I have a good life for you in mind.
Come be with me, dear Joan, throughout your time
Your needs will be small, thy wants ever few,
To you lass I will never be unkind.
As my good wife our stay...

Will you soon speak to me of thy love, Joan
Tell me that you want me as I want you
Can I endure a callous bile adieu
from thy lips most cerise, soft, tender, sweet,
from those which solely I have ever known.
Let’s share, inamorata, time is fleet....

Oh, thou art of the greatest mystery,
an enigma of time and place and space
flitting with ethereal quality.
Mind not paling stars that surround this place.
They languish in comparison to thee,
whose soul reflects from thy radiant face....

Has come alive once again behold
Little did we know found
That beneath the cold hard ground 
The plants and trees withdrawn
Preparing for a new dawn

In spring, the literal and metaphoric seeds 
That lay dormant for several months proceeds
To tentatively...

A Poet I am 
This my verse
Lying in a mind cram
Set to write on clear page dis·perse
To the delight of composing poetry slam
The strings of words; that let me rehearse
The kind of verses that evoke a dash of poetic glam

A good poem must invade 
Our...

Snowflakes, snowflakes, fallin' from the sky
Floating gently from heaven to earth's eye
Snowflakes whisper'ng 'neath my window po·sies
Covering trees, 'round my doorstep, velvet breeze
Ooh, ooh, cov'ring earth in its white fun·fair
Happiness and cheer, beauty ev'rywhere

Favorite time of year, a buzzing 'n ah 'umming
Church bells a ringing;...

I am thankfully sitting tight 
In delightful, peltdown sprinkle
Amid crashing, sky blue delight
Waiting now on a sun twinkle 
Ready for the shine to ignite 
While vowel chimes- my brain jingle...

Cold Winter raises its thumb
In gusty squalls, and snow drifts from 
Winter sun strikes, sits and lingers
And delights in radiant fingers 
Shining quietly in wintry complexions
A quiet wind tossing teasing reflections

Snow drifts and birds race playfully
Whilst' nature lifts with glee and gaiety
And the stars twinkle...
