Best Allot Poems

Invisible Prison

I look at the wall
	I look at the floor
I look out the window
	I look at the door
No clock on the wall
	No light in the socket
Empty bottles and empty wallet
	Bars in my mind
I am tied to chair
	Longing freedom of the fresh air
Ropes hold me tight	
	Hopes...

When Meaning Is Meaningless
The value of life is delicious debris

The storm that thundered is fading still
Reluctant to let go the reign of dark
But the nascent light behind the clouds
Unfolds the scene that's changing fast

On a happy note then she proceeds to allot
Augury of goodwill forgetting the past

And he sees things the way they used...

Plato's Retreat

I want to be just like Socrates,
Grow a long beard and do as I please.
And be asking you allot of questions . . . .

For a Living.

I want to be just like Socrates
And not know for sure
If I'm real merely some altar in Plato's...

Cherry blossoms stargaze as spring air comes;
East and west cross at Bells of Ireland: warm and calm;
Welling slowly to cede: tender sage thoughts,
Upon two hearts link, after hundreds of sought and fought.

Cathedral posts accent with ribbons of violets.
Congregate white orchids grin alongside the aisles,
Roseband sings...

Before you commit...I have to admit
    that I consider you all to be friends.
So feel free to sit back...and try to relax
    And I hope you make it right through to the end.

The Beginning

A long time ago...a Dragon named...

Grinning at revelry on amber arc of twilight sky
Silently in my embrace you whisper, asking why,
I hang my dreams on the wings of twinkling stars
And let them wander in space searching for mars;

So I point you to freedom, buoying eagle’s flight 
And the moonlit horizon...

Life ...

'Tis a precious gift
As is the time we're given on this earth
Our world spins at a speed that's hard to keep up with
And it seems no matter how we allot those minutes each day

There's never quite enough of them to fit our needs
Or accomplish...

Frosty Words
Written: by Tom Wright
4/7/2018

I allot time to past words frosty in flight, 
They’re like chains or a promise unbroken.
By vacated words I frequently feel contrite,
But vociferous words cannot be unspoken.

Words are like arrows departed from quiver,
Once released from a bowstring can’t return.
Whatever the intended...

At the end of our rainbow, we're so often told,
is an awesome reserve of a pot filled with gold.
At the end of my rainbow, no treasure for me
in the form of gold coins to use up selfishly.

At the end of my rainbow, inside my own...

With a hearty laugh, and scallywag's glee
I've acquired their riches, and conquered the sea!
Like a timid lass... they will turn, and flee
showing their backsides, to the likes of me!
Lily livered, they're fearin' my brand!
Shiverin' they be,  till they're walking on land!

Arrgg!! shouts first mate,...

There is temporary unrest inside my mind
I am neither up nor down. I am snug waiting the clearing.

My room holds great view, and I'm free
Looking out at sky, and bare trees, hoping for the clearing.

The morning invites calm, and the minutes fade fast
And though my...

Blood relatives, we are not
By laws or marriage we are didn't knot
Nor characters in theater or movie plot
Yet he and I care, We both allot

He is from middle east
I am from the southeast
God is good cause he let us meet
Bad or good times, no quits

He...
