Best 101 Poems
Thank you, God, for making me a female,
one so strong, cheerful and alive!
The weaker sex? I guess! If being frail
can serve me, I will anything contrive!
A tire flat? Out of gas? I use
“femininity” when in a fix.
I do it oh so charmingly - this ruse-
used by clever chicks like politics!
Those that share my gender cast a spell,
and In our sex are pleasant aspects found.
In art of conversation we excel.
By friendship and by loyalty we are bound.
***** envy? Me? I like your plan,
I am happy not to be a man!

Problem Solving 101
Written: by Miracle Man
12-16-2019
When I allow a problem to defeat me today,
It continues to occupy my time tomorrow.
Ignoring a problem just increases its stay,
Which often leads to heartache and sorrow.
The preponderance of a problem that may exist,
Psychologically influences my solution.
No matter the size it shouldn’t be dismissed,
Through prayer and searching comes resolution.
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Breathe the scent peaceful
The perfection on my tongue ...
reverently kneel

ECHO OF JAN'S POEM
-----------------------------------------
What is this muse Jan writes about,
I have tried to peek in her cupboard
To let it out.
The lock is on, drat what shall I do
Have to find another way, hmmm that’s true
Of course Jan I have it sussed
What a fool I am to make such a fuss
Where I live our days don’t end in a y
I will inform Jan, well will give it a try
Please dear Jan
Let me rescue your muse
don't know what to do if you refuse
if you agree
can *Dydd Sadwrn be when I set it free
* Saturday in Welsh

the health of the family
reflects the health of the city
broken families=broken cities
fix your family=heal your break
It was my first summer job
I didn’t feel quite ready
but I tossed all hesitation aside
it was time to stretch my wings
I felt lucky and tried to measure up
as summer camp counselor
on this beautiful woodsy island
where nature abounded
I was a full week into it
things were running smooth
I was starting to fit in as best I could
until it happened late one night
In the deepest darkness I met my nemesis
a teenie weenie itsy bitsy mouse
I let out a scream to wake the dead
that echoed clear across the lake
Coincidentally soon afterwards it was decided
they didn’t need quite as many counselors
I’ll always remember them polite as could be
as I was being thanked for my services

In Phoenix, a story was told
That Tom Cunningham stashed his gold
Since Tom is a bard
They dug up his yard
Marmite in hand, Tom laughed, "You're cold!"
(sing it to the tune of "Cruella DeVil" from Disney's 101 Dalmatians)
There was a Govenor named
Kristi Noem De-Vil Oh
Kristi Noem De-Vil
Her own dog she’ll harm
there's nothing more cru-el
Kristi Noem De-Vil
Kristi Noem DeVil
She hated her puppy Cricket
with wired haired charm
Her own doggy she'll harm
Her own doggy she'll harm
deemed he was useless
like her goat valued less
So, she took the poor pup out
Not sympatico—Not even a pout
She’s made her boss proud
she shouts out loud,
Kristi Noem De-Vil
Kisti Noem De-Vil
with whom she’ll share
the Presidential ticket
Out of her mind with excitement,
chasing all those birds
and having the time of her life
was poor fated Cricket
We need strong leaders who can
do these sorts of messes
She'll bring her own doggy harm
Ranting that it’s just another day on the farm!
The Govenor may be watching too much Netflix
Perchance Wentworth an Australian series
An unhinged system for women's prison
Chicks! Chicks! Chicks!
Chorus...
If anyone out there is looking to offload
an annoying puppy or jerk-face goat
there are many rescues out there
The wave, a distant statement
“trust me, I come in peace”
The handshake, firm and strong
held just a bit too long
the hug, a gentle frisk
to minimize the risk
to those who must decide
to double down or let it ride

Grand is the wisdom of the experienced;
Raging with tears in the rearview mirror.
Anxiety dealt with, sweet dears.
Now listen, grandchildren, revere
Dad and Mom, but fear God -
Paradise is the presence of Christ.
Are you teachable, let me in;
Roar with the lion, bleat with the lamb.
Enjoy your life but obey God’s commands.
Net salvation and God‘s rich rewards.
Testing will prove you, child.
I am on your side - the bright and invincible.
Negotiating your success on my knees.
God hears with generational blessings.
1 child at a time
O left behind
1 God to spur you on
The man who came out second-best
Was forever puffing his chest
So Eve let him know,
"Before you can crow,
It takes plumes to feather a nest!"
Dietician vs Mortician
The divide between them’s
not wide
Both deal with cold cuts
One serves ‘em,
the other preserves ‘em
no need
for fig
leaves
these are
pre temptation
fruit times
hanging out
tranquilly in
touch with
well let me
think...
everything
but then IT
asked me
to name
everything
so starting
simply
i picked
this up
and then
that and
named that
this and this
that
one of many
two of many
too many
manyies but
few of any
nothing pairs
up in threes
always a he
and she but
confusedly
not knowing
why since the
lamb is laying
with the lion
having no pride
to be beside
the other lion
of course the same
about me swinging
with the chimpanzee
i should be with
that other thing
naming it
whoa man
Haiku 101
summer’s fragile reeds
now ice-layered bend to write
our names in the snow
It's not like Sociology 101
It's like let's learn about "The One"
As I meander down the hall I stop and stare
Man, he's looking fine, just like a black mare
Oh, concentrate now, where is this class?
Why am I here, to me love has been such an albatross
Don't mean to be crass as I think about the subject
But I want that true love, i wonder, as I project
Why a classroom when I've learned from hard knocks?
Oh, there the stallion runs as the clock tic tocks
Im there! I say to myself, and who the professor?
Teach ourselves to love our hearts no lesser
As our hearts roam free in the classroom of LOVE
My heartaches grow dimmer; we came from GOD above
Love fills the room as our intellects ponder
No, grasses are never green over yonder
When you're loving... simply love
Psychic now, as I see white balloons and doves
Hallucination now or infatuation
Creation or divine situation
We exit now
We take a bow!
To fear loves reality
is to fear one's higher duality!
