Best 99 Poems


Four in '99
I was four when I partied like it was 1999.
Didn’t know what Y2K meant—
thought it was a new kind of Ribena.
Mom said the world might end,
so we had fish fingers and Angel Delight
like it was our last supper.
She danced in the kitchen—
hip in one hand,...

Premium Member 99 Percent Is a Big Number
The Jesus I grew up with was all about love.
Was all about being human.
Was all about contributing what he had.
Was all about encouraging others to contribute what they had
and everyone was so into figuring out how to contribute
they didn't worry about getting stiffed.
And everyone got...

COPLA 99 INVOCATION : This Bad Guy World

Look : how Great leaders smile at the sky
Proud of the kettle-drum thunder they ply :
Safe underground

Yet tectonic plates inch by inch shy
Away from the Gondwanian crunch nigh :
Earth molten bound

Zhen the Eldest Son shockwaves the gong
Drowns our...

Shattered Hopes 7-9-99
How can you get what I want
And what you want
And even though you hate your life
You shouldn’t because look at me
I have nothing
My life’s dull 
And I can’t get over the frustration
Because you take away
Everything
And I get nothing
But wishful thinking and
Shattered hopes....

99 Red Balloons
Iran wants to wipe Israel off of Earth's face
Also denying the Holocaust ever took place
Yet their disdain for the U.S. is much worse
As with missiles and warheads they rehearse 

As we sit idly by with any embargo's removed  
Their ability to strike us will...

99 Problems and My Lover Is Not 1
Nobody will ever understand

A mother of 4 
that instead of being able to see them or
hug them on a daily basis all I can 
do is visualize how big and beautiful
and handsome they have gotten

At 99
At 99

There was a day when there was peace within his soul,
A day unlike the many days he’d spent,
A day in his afternoon in which he fell asleep again
And from his sickness, injuries was free.

Within that day outside his body floated he
Above it there where...
