Best Akes Poems

Takes time to tackle talented students, 
Enriches knowledge and encourages 
Achievers with artful abilities, 
Creating curiosity with care, 
Humble, helping mould holistic humans, 
Enlivening energy never ends, 
Reaching out with remarkable results.

Summer awakens one warm afternoon

uncurling a wave, and sailing with charms.

Makes up her bed with the sand in her hair,

merrily shaking a red gingham spread, 

extracting a hotdog, and tossing the bread,

raising her eyes, as a seagull is fed

North Carolina—a beautiful place of humble abode,
On summer vacations or all the year round.
Rife with history, the Wright Brothers showed,
Thanks to Kitty Hawk's sand dunes at heights quite profound,
Hosting Earth's first manned flight on wings at our coast.

Carolina Tarheels—the battle cries loud,
Across our green state,...

Moist it becomes when boiled;

Mustard colored when it's 

Mixed with cheddar cheese and

Milk, this much loved dish is

Marvelous! Kids beg for

Mac and Cheese because it

Makes their taste buds happy!

Simple neighbour but a potential predator
Images of a bad X-ray seen through hospitable beings
Every smile is perceived mischievous
Growing bad impression on constant good gestures
Evolving friendship nurtured by perceptions and preconceived ideas

Men in simple clothing but gangs in weary eyes
Entry and exit, emotionally been monitored
Neighbourhood so...

I shoulda seen it comin’ my way - 
The Judgment Day

Bears the brunt of judging as gold 
Rakes piles of entries, old and new 
Insists - "completely up to you"
As long as you do as you're told 
Note, read the blog to make it through...

Taken from the work room of nature
An ability which is inbuilt and a default
Labeled on skills and fixed on the DNA
Executed wonderfully to seem a miracle
Noticed and groomed from an early stage
Takes the owner to heights reached by visionaries...

B-eautiful acrostic ode 
E-ndorses meaningful line; 
R-egards are well-written, 
N-o curse word is 
A-ssigned. 

A-nother acrostic ode 
M-akes your heart feel the love; 
B-ecause of the warm message 
U-nder the truth from God above. 
L-et December twentieth 
A-llow your mind to unload

O-ne has to be humble;...
