Best 2020 Poems

Twenty-twenty on his deathbed lies.
Most saw him with disapproving eyes.
Some prospered as they watched him grow.
But many looked at him
as a son of woe. Though
no wars did he bring -
his praises we
shall surely
never
sing.

In 
our minds
has grown an
embryo – our
hopes now pinned on him.
This unborn child...

Goodbye to Old Year
Please come in New One
Changes happen anyway
What was impossible becomes 

Be gone sad yesterdays
I really hope you stay away
Imagine another brand New Year 
And the same old problems again

Adios to me before
This New Year can't be the same
I'll surely get into big...

2.
You shall be the grace of my core, 
we sing love’s song, by loves own shore, 
my Goddess divine, I adore.
My eternal rose blooms for you, 
you are ever my love so true, 
my beloved, in moonlight hue.

Come, dance with me, through moonlight dream, 
you...

Now is the summer of our discontent
Made glorious opportunity for change
And all the clouds that lower on our land
In the bosom of the media rearranged

While I who have no mind for fair concord
Determine to conspire and prove the fiend
And hate the idle pleasures life affords
Ensure...

they say "hindsight is 20/20" 
is it easy to validate what is behind us
like a storm that causes mass destruction and death
get indemnity for what is lost, even when it's time?

spring had sprung, winter clung
no way to vitiate the damage being done
as we sit inside...

Tassels are turned, and caps are in the air,
High school ends just like that with a handshake.
This is a day we’ve been waiting to share
But now, everybody’s health is at stake. 
With no parties, no way to celebrate,
How do we mark our great accomplishments?
Maybe by...

I watched it as it was born in the drenching rains of spring, 
Cool condensation drops left over from winter's cold, 
As it grew and grew and finally pedaled 
Into a white, but, quite young rose. 

As a child of youth, it swayed in spring...

Fierce winds are blowing

In this dance of the raging sea

A thundering voice is calling

Disaster and misery

Great storms are warning

Flooding and catastrophe

Fears of a world epidemic

Now rioting in her streets

It’s time for reformation

A change for humanity

Only the strong will survive

The tears of 2020


Put on your raincoats

Pray...

Happiness is heaven, ecstasy gratifying
Sensual and satisfaction zest and delight.
I am quite confident; it comes all the year round.

It comes in the springtime when new buds appear
And nature's perfume fecundates the parks.
The season is warmer and children can play,
Listen to them, it’s laughter all the...

Jan's cucumber* got quite a spin
From a lady who did not like men
It worked like a charm
And caused her no harm
But got dumped in the rubbish bin

Alas Christmas Day is fast approaching,
With fluffy white snow and chill encroaching,
And all we could do is dream of kissing,
With pandemic, all the bliss I'm missing.

Should we go and buy some green mistletoe?
It would be void, we'll miss all afterglow.
So with thick masks to protect...

The world is turning upside down
Covid 19 is all around
Numbers are growing without bound
Protests, killing, riots
and lots of bloody fights

The world is turning upside down
Most of the world leaders are just clowns
The best in the world pound for pound
For telling lots of lies
While the world...
