Acts Poems

Small Acts

a little sun through window
a whisper as the house
takes a breath and I’m
a moment older lost in reflection
about how the ones I loved
come back to me each time 
I get out of bed remembering
how someone who worked
with me stood near me
as I cleaned up a spill
a small act but it was
a big thing at the

Premium MemberPie and Ice-Cream in Two Acts

"Look what they've done to my song, Ma" ~ Melanie Saftka

Act I – Pie (One bright morning)

my muse just wants pie
I huffed, “Okay, give it a try.”  
Pies begin with precision,
lovely decision.
I crave a treat, a sweet delight
one that brings a smile and makes my morning bright.
The popular apple and blackberry pie
Ah, just the

I 

A portly man out on a stroll
approached an egg and ate him whole.

II

When he saw what he had done,
he ate another one.

III

This man, beyond reproaching, 
was thrown in jail for poaching.

Acts of Contrition

Suffer the plot of the parking lot,
Acts of attrition, lots of the disappearing shopping carts,
I had the camera out
Could hardly see where I’m going.
I called just to set up delivery
Then you laid out your whole life story
And relayed your PTSD of living with an anarchic narcissist
Neglected kids, a messy divorce, and the consequent fallout
She took

Shameful Acts

The outrage spills
sews evil seeds
reaps injustice
as innocence bleeds.

Misguided few
opinions flawed
fallacious minds
spurred by fraud.

Seek what's true
for better aim
this acting out
shall bring you shame!!





Violent destructive acts upon the property of others, (Tesla) for whatever reason, cannot be justified, you are a criminal and you should be severely punished!!

Premium MemberHow do I attain Consciousness

I reach for the horizon of awareness,
A distant sun just beyond my grasp,
I stand at the shore of this vast ocean,
Ready to wade into its depths,
Unsure of how far the tides will carry me.

First, I must still the winds of my mind,
I close my eyes, and a storm of thoughts swirls,
If I could catch just

Oil can Acts of Love

I was but a tin man,
A cold and heartless can,
Frozen solid stuck on my feet,
But then I heard a beat,

It was you that oiled my joints,
Many unrivaled selfless points,
You cared for this piece of tin,
To give life where none had been,

Caring for me with little rest,
Until again a beat from my chest,
Showing me what true

Premium MemberSatire in Limerick Acts


Act One: the stage and scenery are set
I was told the play, I'd not soon forget
But if truth were to be told
More like the game, whack-a-mole
I needed a hammer, not a lorgnette

Thespians were vying for the limelight
Popping up everywhere, ready to fight
Sarcastic words ill spoken
The golden rule was broken
A princess rudely slandered by a knight

Act

Premium MemberMore Acts Of Violence


Tragic news of the latest violence
Where are we all heading
Another mall shooting killing many
The violence is spreading

Matters not the gruesome details
Many families destroyed
Seems like there's a pattern emerging
A pattern we must avoid

What has happened to civilization
Has it forever been like this
Is it a dream to imagine that humans
Know of this positive wish
