The Impostor

An impostor in our midst.
He's not who he says he is.
High up in the mountain mist.
He lies low, you will miss.
Sinister black mask.
Revealed at last.
Catch him very fast.
Action taken best,
Kick him out the nest.

Passing

The swirling clouds,

Floats like cotton candy.

In the evening skies,

ending the day,

on a rainbow note.

Passing,

memories remaining,

in the corn fields swaying,

gently in the breeze,

your uncle waving.

The Glow

The glow, the glow!
Amazing show.

You always seem to know,
Where it should go,

I want to learn how to make it glow,
I practise, I practise, I am slow.

But with your work I do know,
Reach out and touch the glow.

Geisha

An exquisite Geisha.

From Japan, Asia.

Ladies in training,

Singing, Dancing, Entertaining.

Features are so delicate,

Hair long, black as night.

Show your might, accumulate,

Experience, Texture, Color, Light.

Apples

I love apples,
Apples have crunch,
Lovely red apples,
Red, pink color, punch.
I love apple pies,
Family ties,

I love apple juice,
I call it zapple juice,
Without the fizz,
Or sugary twist,
Healthy fibre, Apple is.

Flower Queen

The Flower Queen makes haste,
The Unicorn gives chase,
The Hummingbird abuzz,
Collecting nectar and fuss.

Her wedding day draws near,
She stays calm, feels no fear.
The nectar for the feast,
She prays for wedded bliss.

Stress Out

Take deep breaths,
Soon it will past.
High strung stress,
You'll pass the test.
Becomes the pass, this duress.
Life is such,
when it becomes too much.
Take time, relax,
Enjoy with friends
one pax, two pax
Sleeping spends.

Magnificent Eagles

I'd like to share
these magnificent pair.
Black eagles, mid-air
in battle,
One eagle's about to tackle,
Wings spread, sharp talons dread.
Tears up the skies, an eagle dies,
on mountains highs.
Victor flies, to a new sunrise.

Mother Poems

We have Fathers Poems
Why not Mothers Poems?
Without our Mothers, we won't be born,
Without Mothers, We are so forlorn.
Babies, Mothers nurture,
And guide us in our future.
To Mothers everywhere,
Lovely poems, I do declare!
