Short Sickles Poems

frosty spears hang low
satin shield shrouds barren tree 
enfilading beams 

(ice sickles)...

sharp sickles pierce trunk
frosty mail bristles crackles
lucent shield retracts

loads of gold on head
anxious bridesmaids stand in queue ---
solemn sickles squeak

I
The golden sun dips, below the horizon is where it grips 
Shemu will arrive early, farmers in a flurry 
The final grains trickle, time not mickle 
Sickles drawn, scarecrows menace gone 
The coming of the harvest, standing in the shadow of the darkness

trance 
no way out
walking in circles 
in my head 
side to side

romance 
sudden doubt
love like ice sickles
empty bed
so i lied

glance
your looks give you clout
your a miracle
now your dead 
in my head


stance
time to acted out
wake up from this thrill
and do what i say
in every way...

Ice glistens on trees, in sun.
Winter slick on my tires spun.

Cubes in my glass winter cold.
Diamonds are ice, with a gold

Ring to enclose. Ice age froze
Our Mother Earth, then rebirth.

Ice sickles are beautiful too.
Water on grasses, morning dew.

Hot sun melts the ice, around.
Then there's none to be found....

Along street’s he’s casing, unseen in control
  Sickles and Scythes, double edged swords
 One hooks the young, other catches the old 
 And for winding up days, gets a tidy reward 
  Not diamonds or rubies, platinum nor gold
 But fruits, and candies, his Halloween hoard

Gilded streams tapestry weave
Frothy dew doth pageant aggrieve
Brimming bough wrapped in embroidered sleeve
Withering grass to the denuded soil doth cleave
Translucent sickles glimmer on each availing eve
Bristling ice pelets bleary-eyed cisterns do heave
Mercurial splendor doth summer's monotony relieve
Chilled masses do body's warm circulation deceive...

The budding appearance
On the cylindering lily
The fast forming interference
Heating the night chilly

The bird eyed the sparks
Yielding flowering tickles
Clouds ballooned in the parks
The desire designing the sickles

As the colouring heightened
The river curved and charged
The wind gusted and tightened
The poems clouded and enlarged

The sonnet emailed me
Oranging with glee

Everyday time awakens unto the same old scenes....
With our honey as locusts meals and camel hair dreams 
Saying yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat at crumbs which fall
Aneath their Master's table: 'O woman, your faith is strong; thus
Be it as you will ? Gathering mustard seeds from atop her mountains
Cast, into this churning sea: chasing his chaff, unto their edge of another
Horizon rising about love's crest piercing sickles to carry away an age gone by....

Men are good for the most.
Except when they are tempted by
Anger and greed.
Ambition and recklessness 
Fueling there gnash of teeth
At spit and air.
Men are corrupt.
Except when they succumb
To love.
Laying down there arms and sickles  
Seeking out the peace
Of comforts embrace.
Now is the part where I tell
 You of honor.
How you are blind to it
Unless you open your eyes to it
The faith in man we all 
Have. 
Not god but man.
Not good but human.
Not corrupt but new....
