Best Banding Poems


Premium Member No Return
He saw the shoreline of his death
Stared at sea's rolling wave
Found the sky and sea's banding belt
Asked God, honor his grave

The red sun will warm his last breath
Footprints he left on the land
Calmly he swims to the setting sun
His prints covered by sand

This Cruise Is Over
the only tree for a thousand miles 
gave him welcome if temporary shade
a kaleidoscope of mockingbirds filling its branches
it was no longer possible to be blind
but very possible to be jailed
for being unaware of our surroundings
being that we are panphibians capable of TV
where apathy and...

Premium Member Two Hawks
Two hawks aloft
crows anxious banding together
neighbor comes over to my croft, likes the warm weather, November
a California Christmas and maybe species will migrate to reflect that,
paints watercolor ornaments, gentle Jewish lady
how far from her past is she now? or is she quite aware just not...

Premium Member The Onyx Treasure
"The Onyx Treasure"

formed of bands 
of chalcedony 
in alternating colors 

parallels embedded
cryptocrystalline 
dimension

bands of light and dark 
a strong contrast
a close union

harmonious love
protector of evil 
Onyx

eyes wide open 
talisman of Leo
Capricorn courage

the messages are read 
between the ribs 
of wordy black and white lines

shadows rippling
across...

Premium Member Are You Sitting Comfortably - Gross Humour Warning
I’m dining with my cousin Giles
Who disclosed he’d terrible piles
He’s wriggly and twitchy
Cos his butt’s so itchy
His visage is sad, there’s no smiles

He’d  tried using soft margarine
This process had just made him scream
So he did not linger
With his index finger
But Anusol worked like a...

World Changers
When someone is born,

their life stretches before them,

a million-color tapestry shining with adventure,

hope,

dreams,

and chances to change their world.

Anyone can change the world around them.

Sometimes it's as simple as saying "hello", 

or banding together to create something amazing.

We're all born world-changers.

We're all born with the talent...

Premium Member Mermaids
From beneath foam and spray, where the
Sun light never penetrates, in fathom's chilly forbidden
Realm lies a kingdom of golden coral reefs.
Poseidon’s children of the murky depths dwell, in liberation's
Untamed wilderness of the unknown.
Mermaids and mermen living in this aquatic domain,
Of the evergreen's seaweed jungle, a...

Premium Member When Disaster Strikes--G and G
As one from afar, I have watched with compassion
Disaster once more, has come without warning
I gasp, then I cry, yet I'm awed with impressions
How often the spirit, in the most dire conditions
will bring out the best of human reaction.

How hands helping hands, show courage ensued
How...

Premium Member Hawk and the Sparrows
The hawk was flying low: he was the fiercest in the sky.
He bullied all the little birds, and flew off with their lives.
The little birds were peaceful, and didn’t want to fight.
To them it was better: to run and hide, then finally to take flight.
Day...

Wise Men
Wise men: by jimmy muniks

My place reside in the psalms
Without to slug I still not a lesser person
However it is greatly unwise to face raved armies
My sling clings to my every mood
Rejoices in my interactive power
To win I remain ecclesiastic

Without the intervention of my Samuel...

Premium Member Sacrifice
As I look at the pictures of my unborn son,
I can’t help but feel guilty that I’ll miss his birth.
We have two other children, this is our last one.
I love them all equally, for everything they’re worth.

I’m in the military and have always been prepared
For...

War
Your word oh God is like unto a lamp
that guides the footsteps of your flock
inscribed upon their hearts like a stamp
and the path of the master they stalk

On the road to Mount Zion they walk
and the gifts they bring you in praise
about their redeemer and...

The Timeless Generation
This is a tribute to those who were themselves
An ode to the incredible minds
Including Hunter S. Thompson and Jim Morrison
Artist born inarguably before their time

This is a write to the rebels
Those who punched authority in the mouth
Bob Marley and Johnny Cash
Belong in this crowd without...
