Best Ameliorate Poems
A glacier like a cowboy sat
Upon the foothills. And just like that
The climate changed from hope
To glad. And just like that a bar of soap
Was drawn from the rhinestone-clad holster.
With pink and orange stones it did stir
The emotions pride and reverence
But didn’t make sense
With its raven claw and bunny paw.
That type of injustice should be against the law.
To bathe with soap upon the skin
With water warm and a glass of gin,
Made cold with glacial ice, those are nice
Experiences to have. And then to roll the dice
Into the saloon and pollute the soul
With games of chance. Such a toll
Does pleasure take upon the Puritan
[for those believers, anyway]. A ban
Would ameliorate, if self-imposed.
Unfeeling cowboys are never so disposed.
In the wee hours of a cool autumn night,
They were roused from sleep by a loud knock.
They feared it would be some bandits,
Trying to get into the house pulling open the lock.
To their great surprise they found their own Jordan,
Who had been mysteriously missing since years.
No news of him to the deep chagrin of his dear ones,
Leaving all in great suspense and his parents, in tears
As a child he had been a stinker, no church, and no God.
Used to absent from class for many days, a truant.
He longed for freedom and didn’t like being confined.
He was lured by adventure and was never prudent.
Seeing him, his parents were so excited, but he was full of remorse.
He asked forgiveness for he had sinned against all and gone astray.
He was in a UFO wishing to soar away into the clouds.
Now he is a changed man who has stepped out of his zombie way.

On the pulse of a new life, he now has the grace to look up,
Into the faces of his brethren, read their mind and their problem,
With a resolve to do whatever he can to ameliorate their pain,
He renders selfless service, helping many lives blossom!
More than eleven thousand days have passed since I started this voyage.
Laughters, anguish, challenges, setbacks, achievements;
These shaped me into who I am presently
Resilient. Strong. Persistent. Empowered.
Life's roller coaster made me realize a lot of things paradoxically
That people will only be there for you as long as you are beneficial to them
That everything changes, even the so-called eternity is merely superficial.
That trying to fit into somebody else's world is a big no-no
Because you yourself has an own world waiting to be built and to ameliorate
That being quixotic is not okay- foolishly impractical-
Especially in the pursuit of your own worth as a human being and the essence of your existence
That in life, you will be surrounded by lofty individuals-
Insulting and questioning your own capabilities in haughty manners
That discouragement is an everyday thing if you will allow them to get in
I realized I should not be enervated
Overbearance, dominance, supremacy- ignore them all.
Truth is, you are the anchor of your own ship
It's you who will decide whether to be miserable or to be cheerful
Life's a maze with detours and crossroads, sometimes you get lost
You'll come across paths with invisible tracks- completely oblivious
But do not ever despair- make or choose your own path
Even at times you have to decide whether to take the road to the left or to the right
Honestly, I took the road to the left only to find out there's nothing right
I ventured out to the right track only to find out there's nothing left for me
Nevertheless, I continued traversing the unfamiliar routes- come what may.
Rest if you're tired. Stand up if you fall down. Cry if you're sad. Scream if you want to.
Listen to me, you have the sole power over your whole journey-make the most out of it.
Think about it. Do what makes you happy. Choose who makes you feel blissful.
Because life is a sojourn- a temporary stay.
Since the rain graced our little creek,
Running whooshing liquid fills crevices
Of rocks, pebbles then babbles squeak.
Racing surging constantly balances
Cadences of rhythm causes gurlging.
The poetic quality calms relaxes.
Lapping kisses caress stones~no pounding.
Calming tranquil scene heart rhythm fixes.
Ameliorate health; opens wide heart
To nature_ and wonder of soothing
Sounds~creek's gushing words of art
Relaxing mind__accommodating
A country which holds so much I wish to hold.
Venerate friend, old forgotten memories, or new cognizance to him.
Goddess hold my favor and keep him close to my anima.
He is honorable and altruistic and that speaks to me.
Venerate friend, old forgotten memories, or new cognizance to him.
Walks in the park, tours of castles, hold my hand, ameliorate my grief.
He is honorable and altruistic and that speaks to me.
Credence, adulation, and reverie await me in Germany.
He is honorable and altruistic and that speaks to me.
Goddess hold my favor and keep him close to my anima.
Credence, adulation, and reverie await me in Germany.
A country which holds so much I wish to hold.
Thinking of the times we use to share
Wishing I could turn back the hands of time
So those times will once again be here
And you my star once more shine.
I never cease reminiscing
Walking down memory lane
Into fantasy world, always drifting
Seeking to ameliorate this pain.
Tenaciously, the past holds onto me
Thoughts of you have become my daily companion
What shall my fate be?
This truth seems a chameleon.
My life has become a troubled ship
On the world a turbulent sea
Out of reality I always and constantly slip
Into a far away destination my mind's eyes can't see.
Life has lost its flavour
'Cos you've abducted my life's loveliness
Its blissfulness I can no longer savour
You've thrown me into the hands of loneliness.
I wonder where those times are
And wish this is a dream
That wont venture far
Before being washed away by reality's stream.
But wishes ain't horses
So I must trod this hard road of reality
Wishes are mere fantasies
For real we are now history.
Mass of red and gold plumage
blood of supreme incessant immortality flows within
Only I alone can reign stronger
a fortiori
than the army of any man or beast
Symbolic of Christ, ressurection, afterlife
In death redeemed
consumed by fire
only to be born again of ashes
I will rise up again!
Injured from mortals wars
I simply ameliorate and regenerate
I am fire and divinty
Continually watching the irresolute
ever changing, dynamic world around me
In despair I scrutinize and contemplate
as all things moral
are taken from me periodically and adinfinitum
lost ever and again
Armys of mortals have chased my blood for an age
in want of my immortality
Whilst they wrangle with continual want
and I would content for less
I have met no immortal contender
my glorification to you either unobtainable
or a terrible curse
As a deity I serve this planet in all my supremacy
for I will foresee you all
Authors note
This piece was originally written as a two part collaborative effort with poet Kathleen C.
Mannon, otherwise known by pen name kkatie55 . The prompt we were given to write to for
contest was Mortal vs. Immortal in September of 2007, a month after I first started writing I
believe. To begin with we both took our ideas and wrote individually then bringing our ideas
together and changing slightly to fit from there… I tried to write so this would stand alone
too, and have only just decided to bring it out to share for opinion. To see the write with the
omitted verses written by the other poet, please feel free to go view at this link where each
poet has initialled over their respective stanzas/verses.

Thankyou for your trouble in reading this explanation, but I do not wish to discredit its
original intention nor take anything away from the other poet by placing this half here. I
hope you shall be excited about reading it in full…
A musical wind blows at my door,
Low frequency soft soothing tone,
Euphony that mesmerises down the floor,
A musical wind blows at my door.
I am at peace with my soul,
Alpine harmonious delightful tone,
Enchantment that lives down the floor,
A musical wind blows at my door.
The wind blows swift and jazzy I go,
Recapture the dreams that constantly flow,
Ephemeral delight that exacerbates,
The wind blows swift and jazzy I go.
All the detriments ameliorate,
The wind blows swift and jazzy I go !!
I reflect to meditate
Broken heart to ameliorate
Twisting mind to percolate
Whole lost being to invigorate.
I meditate to wonder
Changes strike like thunder
Metamorphosis ticks like timer
Progress applaud for the better.
I wonder to think
For neurons to die and shrink
Writing words through my invisible ink
To be fathomed with my own related link.
I think to believe
As saying says, " To see is to believe. "
Mind's eye stimuli receive
No more " LIMITS " to give.
I believe to make a CHANGE
Self-innovation to be a strange
New me to live with no range
Yet with self-sovereignty to control life's syringe.
Ah Such A Great Night...
To Fish In The Cyber Sea
Always does this generic guy abhor
inflicting pain and suffering,
hence I haint n'er fished before,
and even metaphorically

(strictly as prosaic analogy),
aye reel lee deplore
causing deliberate suffering vehemently
contradicts my credo,
dogma, ethos, et cetera

webbed, wide world

and as an aspiring scrivener
(fraught with floor rid sweaty palms
even in the dead of winter
offer poems galore
already written alluding to the
unpleasant physiological hoar
rubble sensation of dripping
(nee sopping) wet hands,
a curse that follows me indoor
or out, thus no surprise,
an aversion to mingle,
no matter socialization even jure

steely slippery rapport.
A Dreamer Gazed In Agelessness
In the midst of chaos love relinquished its reign
A plethora of weakened senses pounding within
Like clouds we drifted apart abandoning heaven
Remorsefully begged that an amnesty be given.
If Eden is illusion is there another I can behold?
Visions blindsided by this apathetic frigid world.
Do missed chances lose spark unlike pure gold?
May not buy their way out of loneliness tenfold.
Who can say for certain if one's luck takes hold?
Fate insists that the answer must never be told.
Doubt incites desperation as she began to weep
To ameliorate her grief, I ascend a canyon steep
A dreamer gazed in agelessness counting sheep
Dazed as hearts tenderly reunites in their sleep!

Deep inhalation and exhalation
breaths initially activate
relaxation, attributed to stress,
tension, unconscious vectors
woefully agglomerate
ache'n to gangrenous jackknifing noggin
dichotomy to alleviate
cognitive clog analogous
to emotional obstruction
that doth constipate
in an effort to allocate
opportune psychological uplifting
state of emergent euphoria amalgamate
ting in tandem with prescription
medication to leverage mental
quiescence holistically ameliorate
counterproductive suicidal waves
riding roughshod, which repeatedly
pulsate, oscillate, and nurse qua mantra
generate breakers animate
ting my state of consciousness
incessantly inundated with said
stormy sea re: brawl mailer
daemons intent to annihilate
stealthily, jarringly,
and devastatingly annunciate
without warning a tsunami
drowning spirited lifesource,
an undesirable nihilistic thought,
I unwittingly, hatefully,
and accurately anticipate
emotional tug of war
as better angels arbitrate
struggling successfully to arrogate,
and establish erstwhile equilibrium
lest body electric will self asphyxiate
such deep seated
respiration aims to attenuate
ninety nine point nine nine nine...percent
effortlessly injecting willpower,
and survival overpowering
strength modus operandi to dominate
self destructive negative feedback loop
constantly (i.e. daily)
vying to authenticate
practiced discipline, sans shut eye
transcendent mindset to calibrate
and stymie passivity to capitulate,
where resignation writ large checkmate
ting ability to experience and consummate
spiritual ecstasy, wherefore I contemplate
the simple practice the
benefits to coordinate
setting aside absolute

If I could amend
If I could transcend
a new life I'd begin
I'd be the mother I should have been
If I could alleviate
If words could ameliorate
the discouragement you feel
You'd always hear words of comfort that heal
If abuse were stopped
If its affects were lopped
I would shout out loud
"This devastation is not allowed"
If sickness we could terminate
If death we could eliminate
We would see no more tears
We would hear happy cheers
If... does not depend on me or you
All these wrongs... Jehovah will undo
Its not a matter of if---but when
Trust in Jehovah with all your heart---until then
Aspire to disseminate inspiration
Respire to ameliorate affection
Mire fires and spires of misinformation
Contribute to spreading care
Distribute love to play fair
Develop attributes with plenty of love flair
Seek to provide answers
Hobnob with love dancers
Fight and blight social cancers
Break backs and stacks of malice
Build bridges and bonds of justice
Scoff at the bluff of prejudice
Share love
Support love grown from above
Rabbles and squabbles dare to solve
Don’t jump on the bandwagon of arrogance
Steer to bonds of care in every circumstance
From evil and weevil maintain a healthy distance
Grow into a harbinger of good news
Principled friends dare to choose
Abstain if you can from strains and banes of booze
Perfect the art of loving
Delight in healthy living
Build a field and shield of forgiving
Arise to sunrises and surprises of initiative improvement
Sway away from egregious involvement
Build and wield a progressive movement
Cement and augment halos of happiness
Desist from fists and twists of sadness
Dispel bells and cells of wanton weakness
Above all be a pillar of immutable truth
Discount chains and mountains growing uncouth
Cling to wings of hope, moulding the youth
As bliss spreads
A swathe of sorrow dreads
A bright future weaves peace threads.

Courtesy climate change
(think global warming),
I would never wish to exchange
unseasonable temperature
way out of range
far to balmy, undoubtedly
ole man winter
weather did shortchange.
Once thermometer readings rise
even smidgen one moost not minimize
Earth way out of balance,
I haint gonna catastrophize
as bajillion acres plus
one after another ocean dries
even the skeptic cannot turn
blind eye and believe contrary lies
when every species practically extinct
and self proclaimed éminence grise
doth trumpet and stubbornly tries
to claim plethora unearthed resources
as sudden goldmine
against wages of sin
former traitor joe redeemers actualize
to catalyze nth industrial revolution
teaching as heresy
ecocentric, which material basket
of deplorables power mongers bowdlerize
Concurrence toward meteorological
trend most all people agree
toward adapting, experiencing,
and witnessing increase -
fair in height degree
bestowed upon Thomas Newcomen,
Richard Arkwright, Samuel Crompton,
Edmund Cartwright
and James Watt first Industrial
Revolution conferred as honoree
appellation not necessarily
in retrospect donned as noble pedigree,
now hundred of years
later downside we see
of belching, coughing,
disorging... yes siree
foul, (née deadly)
cancerous, gaseous, noxious... pollutants.
Decreased dissension
grudgingly did abate
unclouded protests trumpet
Trump to abdicate
irrefutable proof generates
activist voices to accumulate
linkedin over Green Party
blessedly to administrate
hoop fully figurative tide
will turn and aerate
political atmosphere whereby
progressive minds will affiliate
otherwise business as usual,
cuz spewing deadly particulate
will only aggravate
dire straits, where series
of unfortunate events will airdate
prophetic apocalyptic fate
especially if nonprogressive
stodgy commander in chief re-elected
flush with bigotry and hate
increased chance (chants) ripe state
for revolution avast swath
of population to amalgamate,
and overthrow anachronistic government
absolute zero survival unless dramatic
nondestructive strategy eschewed
to supplant exploitation and mandate
radical transformation, which dramatic
shift off grid if lucky requisite
Earth friendly manufacturing
can possibly ameliorate.
