Best Agrees Poems


Premium Member Silent Reverie

When life becomes confusing,
my only saviour is my 
simple musing.

Susurration of sighs,
reflect sands of time,
like an unbalanced hourglass.

As words lose 
innocent connotations

i drift into my
silent reverie.

Wild fires no longer rage,
rain perishes like a drought

who knows what winds may come and go.

Motionless mind agrees to a ceasefire,
with my apprehensive heart.

Cumulonimbus clouds clear,
sky is like a fresh page.

Simple sun shines - scintillating,
illuminating an enchanting rainbow.
Horizons reflect like stained glass windows

Path clears before me,
as I bask in the brisk breeze.
Refreshing wise winds soothe.
as zephyrs heal tender wounds.

I see smoky mountains up ahead,
but I believe I can conquer them

as pain is no longer my companion.

Simple Musing

Premium Member A Smile In the Sky

The sky is smiling
Luminous clouds concede a simple clearing
Boasting rays of an aureate sun
Gleaming
The brightest smile I've ever seen
It shines on me

The leaves are dancing
Cool morning breeze is autumn sweet
The crisp of crimson and ochre
Swirling
Their revel consorts my footsteps
They frolic for me

The path is clearing
Shadowy moods of uncertainty are lifting
Mist of fear and doubt 
Vanishing
It seems that nature agrees
It speaks to me

Premium Member Edge of Despair

When life becomes confusing,
my only saviour is my
simple musing.

Twilight shimmers in orange,
red clouds float above,
preparing for blood rain.

Lost to ponder,
I contemplate and wonder
why the symphonic sky
showcases shadows of ghosts

as a
susurration of sighs,
reflect sands of time,
like an unbalanced hourglass.

As words lose
innocent connotations
I find no use for speech.

I drift into my
silent reverie - 
but release through poetry.

Wild fires no longer rage,
rain perishes like a drought,
but the smell of ash remains

who knows what winds may come and go
and what they will bring and take.

Motionless mind agrees to a ceasefire,
with my apprehensive heart.

Cumulonimbus clouds clear,
sky is like a fresh sapphire page.

Simple sun shines - scintillating,
illuminating an enchanting rainbow.
Horizons reflect like stained glass windows.

Path clears before me,
as I bask in the brisk breeze.
Refreshing wise winds soothe,
as zephyrs heal tender wounds.

I see smoky mountains up ahead,
but I believe I can conquer them

as pain is no longer my companion.

Premium Member I Love Guns

I love Guns


Guns make us safe
Guns are rights and freedoms
The more guns, the more freedoms we shall bear
Every man woman and child should be armed
So that we are all safe
All schools should be armed
Teachers, Principals, Janitors, arm them all
The finally we can relax
in total safety
knowing we are all armed
I say give arms to the amputees too

Gun control is socialist and fascist
We registers cars
Houses
Pets
Bikes
We have banned toys
We regulate all kinds of things
Yet we are free
Totally free
Because we all have our right
To bare arms
Ask Kim Campbell! she agrees!!!

Not only guns
They must be automatics
The more bullets you can empty out of a gun 
the better
the more freedom you shall feel
Its called projectile dysfunction


And......... any man with a high IQ
Need's an assault rifle
Why of course to outsmart those ducks and turkeys
I firmly believe in a fair fight
Assault rifles to catch a duck
common sense to me
Quack quack

Guns have rights
Own a gun you have double rights
They are made to kill kill kill
Did I say they KILL?
Nothing more, nothing less
I need that right

Any child killed by a Gun
is only because we haven't enough guns

By the way
Children have no rights
Kill em all for all I care
as long as I have my rights

I am not concerned with facts
Evidence
Or the humanity of it
Is all about my Guns
Why
Cause I love Guns
More than humans
And thats my right
No matter how wrong it is

In My Opinion

It's all a matter of opinion
We all have one of these
We always have something to say
Even if no one else agrees

My wife says I don't have one
I have to ask her what to say
She thinks I'll say something stupid
She says, "You're  just made that way"

If we go to a fancy restaurant
She orders what food we'll eat
She tells me when I'm finished
And when to leave my seat

Even on our wedding day
Before I could say, "I do"
She told the preacher, "Of course, he does"
So I just mumbled, "True"

If it sounds like I am henpecked
My wife says that's not true
She says to tell you, "You're all wrong"
She doesn't tell me what to do

So be glad you're not in my shoes
A man who lives this way
The only words I'm allowed to utter
Is, "Yes dear whatever you say"

Well, I think I'll end this poem 
And try to get on with my life
But before I go, I want you to know
I probably better ask my wife

Premium Member The Silent Pitch and Sportsmanship

It is not a conversation you overhear,
Like the questions rolling underfoot,
"Who goes there?".
You can see the grass has told
How tall to grow
To the chicory, dandelions and clover.
At the edge of the pitch
Where competition is stiff,
They grow bigger, taller and bolder;
Yet in each new match, every plant,
Agrees to a height and no taller.

Till in the next field over, where it's wild and fallowed,
It's to the death, all bets are off, and no foul.

My Best Friend

I'm my own best friend.
We almost always agree
    on colors and clothes and things like trees.
We like the same food
    like ice cream and such,
But sometimes we really eat too much.

And it's true,
    we may argue over what to do,
Whether to go shopping and buy new shoes,
    or to save our money for a trip,
I have to admit,
    when that happens a curse word may slip.
I might say, "Damn!  I want that dress."
But she says, "Hell no! You know your checkbook's a mess!"
So even though we love how that sexy dress fits,
    I know she's right and the argument quits.

But sometimes we both get our way,
    like when we sleep late, drink wine or play.
And even though we must decide on red or white,
    both taste so good we don't end up in a fight.

So if you can just like yourself like me,
    you'll be content with someone who usually agrees.

FYO Using A I during contests


Just wanted to make a few things clear for my fellow poets 
If you are going to use A I, to write a poem for a particular 
contest, then be sure to let the sponsor know by adding 
A I on top of your poem, so the sponsor of the contest 
can then decide whether to use it or not. 

I don't believe it is the responsibility of the sponsor to 
check every single poem to see if it is A I or not 
Please be honest about it if you are and let the sponsor 
know. 

If the sponsor has specified no A I, then please respect 
that.  After all we are all writers, and we all know that 
we take pride in our creative abilities. So I am asking 
if anyone agrees with me, please leave a comment. 

This was not written to put down A I in any way 
Its coming from a naive woman who just assumed 
I am no longer that naive, 

Please don't join any of my contests unless you are 
planning to write me an original without the help 
of AI, 

Thanks 
Vienna aka Mystic Rose

Premium Member Can We Have Our Ball Back Please

O my Lord, I hope you don’t see man as virus or disease
This bright blue globe you gave us faces such profound unease
We’re told that we will drown or burn though some of us will freeze
And only you can save us… can we have our ball back please

We drive our cars and fly in planes for holidays on skis
And now they tell us that we’ve brought our planet to its knees
We’re gonna catch the sun and stick up windmills in the breeze
Which feels like ‘fingers-crossed’ so, can we have our ball back please

We make it, break it, use it up
We throw it in the trash
And then we buy another one
Cos all it costs is cash
But now it seems our number’s up
We’ve been a little rash
This Earth unlike the phoenix
May not rise up from the ash

Another storm has ripped up houses, bridges, cars and trees 
The sewers overflowed into the rivers and the seas
But now we’re in a heatwave and it’s thirty-five degrees
It’s really rather hot so can we have our ball back please

The scientists keep saying we eat too much meat and cheese
They tell us we can all survive on lentils, beans and peas 
Which won’t achieve too much when just a few of us agrees
And so I have to ask you, can we have our ball back please

We make it, break it, use it up
We throw it in the trash
And then we buy another one
Cos all it costs is cash
But now it seems our number’s up
We’ve been a little rash
This Earth unlike the phoenix
May not rise up from the ash

This thing that’s wrong with planet Earth is killing bugs and bees
And coral reefs have had their day in many far off seas
Though governments may talk a lot, they never hear our pleas
Their taxes will not save us… can we have our ball back please

We leave our oil and gas right there beneath the sands and seas
Then ship more in with diesel fumes and importation fees
We’re gonna catch the sun and stick up windmills in the breeze
Which feels like ‘fingers-crossed’ so, can we have our ball back please 

We make it, break it, use it up
We throw it in the trash
And then we buy another one
Cos all it costs is cash…
To save the world we’re armpit deep
In net zero decrees
But only you can save us… 
Can we have our ball back please

Reverencing Nature

Creation energy in each atom glows.
Electron-bound sacred unity –
Thus, reverence for nature inside me grows
When I walk through rustling sheaves.
And I know in my heart power flows there,
In each cell throughout the trees –
And all the while I go with a smile,
Knowing joys that nature weaves.
By the energy bound within all compounds--
In the wind and in the trees –
A great strength from which honor mellows
Believes the joys nature conceives.

And this is why honor to nature goes,
And the universe receives: --
Form from a shapeless power emerged,
Physical matter conceives.
Afterward, substance gained its shape,
Now, the universe receives.
Tiny atoms shine their light
In each tree and in the leaves –

The beginning, surrounding as unity abounds,
Thus Pantheists…worship agrees –
Praises to nature! (a believer knows,
The universe its might weaves.)
Energy sparks verve, living…thrilling.
Starting life, an atom achieves.

Universal essence throughout nature astounds.
From one cell, another follows –
Spiritual mentality knows –
Realities sacredness nature resounds,
Within an elated heart billows,
Freeing the energy within all living souls.
Cosmic unity within man and trees –

As life’s passage one takes and of it sense makes,
Thinking of the trees and its leaves.
When, looking toward skies wherein night beauties rise
Worships nature and believes.
For thus it is, pantheist reverence nature’s pure bliss,
Adore natural matter; respect all that is.
For in trees and in the leaves –
Omnipotent universe perceives.

THANK YOU Deborah for this enlightening challenge.  Please SEE MY BLOG on this.

He Thinks He's a Real Man

He thinks he's a real man

I know a few guys
who won't look you in the eyes
they wear a great disguise.... yeah

maybe you know them too

All the fancy gold he buys
real work he never tries
spends his days  inventing  lies
got no time for goodbyes...

but, he's ...gonna end up alone!

Chorus
His heart is stone,  his heart is stone
he imitates all he's ever known
so many seeds he's sown
he's a child tho full grown
He doesn't have a real plan...
and he thinks he's a real man.


Himself, he always tries to please
he only likes her, when she's on her knees
he doesn't like it when you tease
he only loves her when she agrees

but, he's gonna end up all alone

His point of view he does enforce
his language is real coarse
he screams until he's hoarse
he's surprised with the divorce

yeah, he's gonna end up alone

Chorus
His heart is stone,  his heart is stone
he imitates all he's ever known
so many seeds he's sown
he's a child tho full grown
He doesn't have a real plan...
and he thinks he's a real man.

Chorus
His heart is stone,  his heart is stone
he imitates all he's ever known

yeah, thinks he's a real man
yeah, thinks he's a real man
repeat and fade

Premium Member Passion Fruit Kisses

Passion fruit kisses, a tropical breeze
     Butterfly flickers, your lashes do tease
Cherry encounters of promised delight
     Spray of seduction, the sea mist at night

Mango martini of unmatched desire
    Touches of Jasmine, fuel to the fire
Liquor of Palm tree, Coconut dew
     Will keep me forever enchanted with you

Sunset of satin against raven hair
     Pineapple mornings to bless skin so fair
Passion fruit kisses, a tropical breeze
    To love you forever, Papaya agrees

Premium Member Tilting Scales

Soros with his little pet crusty the clown caught red nosed 
our country needs a king with a backbone to defend certain rights 
not this weak minded fool who shakes hands with the devil himself 
on earth a liberal puppet who agrees with killing children firstly 
has little value under such a crown lacks deep compassion 
with backwards peddling sacrifice promoting bloodshed 
no true nature that supports life for all it's faults 
where history will condemn this act of treason 
overturning what is right and just law bares equal measures

Premium Member The Lawyer

Are Lawyers needed? I put to you
       to begin our little tale.
Besides the time you smoked that pot
      and ended up in jail.
Was justice blind? The scales clogged
      yearning to be free.
He saved your butt when danger called
      for a modest fee.

They've gone to school and put in their time,
      no Medicine or Arts.
To take the Law so the dark side calls
     and they put away their hearts.
They get a job and begin their practice,
      start working for a firm.
With no beaming parents or loving spouse,
      they're a waste of decent sperm.

Your sidewalk's old and the cracks now show,
      someone takes a fall.
They're gonna' sue and you're gonna' lose,
      a Lawyer you must call.
You take the time as the clock unwinds,
      you offer him your case.
No problem there he will take the job,
      just mortgage up your place.
He starts to work, takes down the facts
      and tells you not to fear.
He'll do his best and conquer all.
      You know your check has cleared.

The time arrives and to court you go,
      the victim's in a cast.
Your Lawyer smiles, 'Don't feel too bad,
      the fella' has a past.'
He tells the judge the guy's not hurt,
      he simply has the gall.
To come to court a hundred times
      for minor slips and falls.
The Judge agrees and the case is won,
      you're happy with his skill.
You're thankful now and free to rest
      until you get his bill.

They play the villain and accept our scorn,
      this seems to be their fate.
But people flock as they come in droves
      with charges to negate.
I ask again are Lawyers needed?
      To those of you who care.
When you're alone in Court and try your best,
      you haven't got a prayer.
So give them credit as their time has value,
      just hang on to your purse.
There is no deed or human plan...
      a Lawyer can't make worse.

                  The End
