A List Poem

Untitled

I see the wind in the trees
The sun that dances on the leaves
Whenever a breath is let go

I hear the sun on my face
The blue beat of the sky and
The insects humming along

I touch the birds in the sky
Dipping their wings
In the swells of the wind

I smell the scent of weeping flowers
Petals gathering in fragrant clumps
Around their once green stems

I taste today
Sweet remembrance of yesterday
And the song of tomorrow in the air

Smilies, Tropes, Metaphors

Similies-
The moon, broken off like the picket fence cracked from last night’s storm
A red flower, brilliant as a composer’s final piece (or note?)
Her fingers delicate as the keys on a piano
The island stretches out from the coast like an inch worm crawling up a leaf
Your backbone, rigid like the dinosaurs bite
Soft as the cloth used to wipe the baby’s botton
That biker, careening downhill like a slinky down the stairs
Crazy bird! Its song like the screech from a pistol’s shot
His mountainous voice like an echo in a canyon
She spun off like the crazy man’s thoughts
Days pass like the wee hours of the night

Tropes-
Synesthesia, personification, oxymoron/personification, personification, metonymy, synecdoche, synecdoche, metaphor

Metaphors-
Cats got your tongue
Root of the problem
Sands of time

A Sound Poem

Sorting the Alphabet

Atriculate the problem
that needs to be sorted out
what Altercations must be had
for the sorting of the alphabet
Bypass the short term troubles
Call in the inspector and
Decipher the code to start
putting the alphabet back together
Encapsulate the Exotic vowels
and don’t Forget to Catch the Consonants
but Don’t be Fooled, Don’t Fall Behind
or get Back tracked
Continue the mission
Drudge through
Extract the Evidence
Fill the Gaping Hole
Intrude only when nessicary
Join the Knavery and
Leave a trail to find your way back
Meander in the Night to places
that Ought not be Penetrated
Quietly Rummage through
Storage Trunks without letting
anything escape
Uncover the Vortex
Wonder at the magnificence
and Yawn because, Zounds!,
sorting the alphabet is breathtaking
