Best Anyone Poems
is a dusty rippled salt shaker,
an old working girl
found busy or on a stroll,
in a brothel house
my grandmother said
was often around,
when people sold
what they could to survive.
See her in the morning,
and her body
is an empty bottle
of sweet red wine,
bought cheap,
kept to deny the rough time.
You say now,
she was once round
and smooth as a glass egg
with a rose,
blooming in her breast.
This woman you knew
carried in her purse
a working poet
and a bronze genie lamp,
in case the days moved slow.
This woman you knew,
displayed a blue-purple dragon
she couldn’t let go
you knew, once were her husbands,
when his father died in his presence,
and while he loved drugs.
This woman you remember
you called a treasure
a face, a rainbow, a toy necklace.
This woman you sensed,
reached for you, during moments
when rainfall increased
sparrows flew by, and her home
a sand-feathered dream catcher.
Now nobody cares to admire anymore.

(This poem was inspired by my friend's grandma who said, and I quote, "You can hug anyone you want to." I dedicate it to all the sweetie poets who give "hugs.")
You can hug anyone you want to.
It's something everyone can do.
(There are many reactions from one act.
Proceed with caution so you don't get smacked.)
You can hug any way you like.
Keep it loose, or grab 'em tight.
Hug with a manly guttural noise,
or hug like a lady with grace and poise.
Sometimes just one hand will do.
Hug the way that best suits you.
Hug to ward off tears and sorrow.
Hug like you're going to die tomorrow.
Hug sister Suzy. Hug uncle Al.
Hug anyone to make a new pal.
Hug 'em big. Hug 'em small.
Hug 'em one. Hug 'em all.
Hug 'em in a group or two by two,
so the pleasure's not all about you.
Hug with a spin. Even make it an art.
Just make sure you hug with your heart.
It's as simple as a shoulder shrug.
Everybody could use a hug.
You can hug anyone you want to.
Watch your back, cuz I might hug you.
My Tomcat drives me up the walls
On neighbourhood kitties he calls
Sired more than one kitten
With sex he is smitten
He’s gonna be losing his balls!

~Summer is Natures intermission~
You speak of my failing
Without knowing my heart
Your pity is mocking
This life playing its part
You scoff at such squalor
As you toss in a coin
Lest a hero or scholar
From your coven may join
Go home to your warm bed
Waste not one precious thought
From tenets left unsaid
With that last pence you bought
Shed but just one tear, don't leave vexed with a sigh
For there but for privilege even your dreams might die

She found a love she thought was true,
A love that was her every dream
But love's a tango just for two,
And one heart does not make a team
The look of love was in her eyes
"Anyone who had a heart" could see,
But a broken heart was her consolation prize
A captive of love, not yet free
He'd found another to fill with his charms
But to him alone her heart was drawn,
Wishing it was her he held in his arms
She hung on to a love which was long gone
Anyone could see she loved him from the start
That is, "anyone who had a heart"

No matter how some complain and bellow
they are exposed, each a trolling fellow
I'd look them in the eye
for telling one more lie
but I heard they're too busy eating crow
by Jenna Logan
Their "platforms" anchored, tightly tethered
Their statements all "if, ands, and whethers"
While blowing their horns
And spitting out thorns
From mouths full of fluffy crow feathers
by John Lawless
Cruel comments, sure catch one's eye
Demeaning, vindictive, but sly
Trolls aim to debase
And leave a bad taste
Perhaps they should eat humble pie
by Jan Allison
Some people just won't admit when they're wrong
Like to spin yarns and then string you along
But without any doubt
They are always caught out
Then feast on the first crow that comes along
by Tom Cunningham
Will he choke while eating crow
A feeble mind he does show
He messed in the blog
When he slopped his hog
His words are wind and they blow
by Mark Koplin
I Shall Never Love Anyone Like You
My heart ache as I watch you fall for another.The pain hurt so much I felt sick.I didn't have the courage to tell you my feeling I din't have the courage to tell you what my hearts feels.But I can't refuse to watch you fall into he hand of another.May i blind myself may i break my own heart may i give relief to the feeling that I had when i could no longer hear your laugh no longer see your smile and no longer feel your touch.To me being alone and feeling nothing is worthless I shall miss what I have lost but this I have done to protect what little shard of my heart remains.You feel another never knowing my feeling for you.but it fine now for I shall never love another like I loved you.
Why won’t you love me
When I would die for you
You are my world yet you turn your back
My tears mean nothing to you
I look in the mirror and see but the shell of a woman
Reduced to living at your every whim
I live for your apologies and changes of heart
You’d love me not to love you so much
It’s exactly this dependence you abhor
It’s my weakness you despise
Yet how do I turn the clock or just pretend
How do I step back and give you freedom
How do I cure myself of you
I dream of a role reversal where you
Chase me to the ends of the world
And die for a kiss from my lips
Till then I need to do what I must
Let my heart recuperate
And set you free
*Inspired by Cilla Black’s song ‘Anyone who had a heart’

To the victors go the spoils, or so they say
It's a rarity when losers have their way
Though the Democrat-fueled Mueller investigation
took $32m dollars from the taxpayers of our nation
Come now questions 'bout the recent election
Late mail-in ballots neither signed nor sealed
Hours-long gaps in vote counts, something concealed
But to the victors go the spoils, as they say
~ The issues brushed aside; Dems get their way
Like a gentle summer breeze
She blows into my dreams
Always leaving me a clue
Before she disappears from view
Each night she arrives on moonbeams
To whisper to me in dreams
She is perfection to the eye
And the beauty of my lullaby
Yet she guards her heart with a flaming sword
And no one gets in without the password
And as the sequence of the dreams ensue
We no longer find love to be taboo
Code names of affection she gives to me
Taking the risk to set her heart free
But trouble comes when doubts arise
And I hear her haunting cries
In my dreams she will reside
For she's got a ticket to ride
To a destination within my heart
And she will speak out with words of love

Guess who the mad gab is all about
It's us, a well known pack of old geezers
Old grandpas that are in trouble no doubt
Now most of us are coughers and weezers
It was a risk to be cool and not hide
Drawn to the taboo tobacco, that's right
While John and Paul sang ticket to ride
We would smoke that tobacco all night!
Some warned against it when sales began
Others would speak out and say balderdash
We are just cool like the Marlboro man
And for cigs, kerplunk, put down their cash
Our life has gone up in smoke it's true
Now we need oxygen close to our heads
But don't feel bad for this old sorry crew
We do have some fancy hospital beds!

Does Anyone Still Preach On Sin?
Where are the preachers who
actually preach on sin?
Where is the fire of God that
totally consumes within?
One thing that is much
needed this very hour.
Is God's presence and his
majesty and power!
Many preachers seem
worried "they may offend."
Too many are afraid they'll "lose a friend."
If they really preach God's
word as they ought to do.
Hardly anyone would be sitting in the pew.
No wonder there's so much sin
and perversion to be found.
The truth of God's word
has been turned "upside down."
It's time we raise a holy
standard in our lives.
Listening to God's word and
no more of man's lies.
The judgement of God begins
at his house--this is so clear.
Watch out--his righteous judgement
is so very near!
What will you be doing, when he
knocks at your heart's door?
Do you really know
whom you are living for?
It's heaven or hell--there is
no middle road in between.
It's time to confess and repent
of all that's unclean.
It's only in Jesus...not religion...
that will save your soul.
Jesus waits for you and
desires to make you whole!

Has anyone seen my sister out there?
She's the little girl with the dark brown hair.
I am eight and she is three and we like to play hide and seek, you see.
This time she hid much better than last.
But finally I found her, just not quite as fast.
Has anyone seen my sister out there?
She's the third grader with the dark brown hair.
I am fourteen and she is nine and she wanted to play with my friends and I.
But because we are older and more mature,
She felt left out and got her feelings hurt.
She ran away but I'm afraid she'll get lost,
I left to go find her even if losing my friends was the cost.
Finally I found her, she made it home, but she was mad and told me to leave her alone.
Has anyone seen my sister out there?
She's the teenager with the dark brown hair.
I am twenty-one and she is sixteen and it's hard to keep track of a newly driving teen.
I wanted to spend some time, just her and me,
But she is always with friends and has places to be.
I finally found her, she was hanging out with friends.
Luckily I know that this phase will soon end.
Has anyone seen my sister out there?
She's the gorgeous little lady with the dark brown hair.
I am twenty-four and she is nineteen, we have become best friends at this age, you see.
Our days are chaotic with work and school,
But at the end of the day we come home and talk it through.
My sister and I have shared this life, the ups and downs and even some strife.
She knows my soul and can make me laugh.
She's my friend for life and always has my back.
But one summer night something felt wrong,
My sister wasn't home yet, she was taking too long.
My sister went away to a place in the sky,
But I still look for her in each day that goes by.
Has anyone seen my sister out there?
She's the beautiful angel with the dark brown hair.
