Best Bank Poems

In the town of Milton Creek the sun was starting to rise
And Jenna was planning for Ranger David a lovely surprise
Unbeknown to him preparations were now well underway
To hold a party in his honour on this Saint Patrick's day.

She, Anaya, Deb, Tania and Lin had...

had I woken with that headache 
then I would have stayed in bed
but because I felt much better
I got up for work instead.

had I got there any later
then it would have been my loss
as I would have missed arriving 
at the same time as my...

I can tell by your face
the clouds intimidate, when weeping,
one look into your soul
tells one how you are keeping.
Oppressive droops the raindrops
wrenched from the saddest sky,
tormented the grey mist swirls
yet my affection, oh so slow to die!
I still see the summer breeze dance
within your tolerant...

There's been bedlam down at the food bank store
Rushing and shoving through the opened door
I've even seen fighting there on the floor.

What's happening to people, can’t they share?
When it appears there's hunger everywhere
All we need is some love, kindness and care.

Save your money for a rainy day
  Where I grew up, that was the way

As I aged, my days filled with sunshine
  My piggy bank, no longer my shrine...

As moonlight sleeps
On the bank of a stream
Ever so peacefully
In the dead of twilight
Undisturbed
I gently tap my foot
In the still water, 
Creating 
Ripples that brings it 
Happily to life, dancing 
With reckless abandon
Rhythmically
Just for me

On the bank of my heart's Eden,
Reunited, but parted, were life and I,
By an unseen veil.

And now I stand,
Watching,
The unearthly land,
Whose beautiful weather,
I cannot feel but sense,
Is something more than spring,
And held away by an arcane fence,
There stand the angelic flowers blossoming,
Whose sweet scents,
And colours...

Whither,
O willow,
weeping so free-
shading the stream unto
the
sea.
Hither,
O willow,
whisper to me-
the comings and goings
you see.

Reunions can happen 
and leave you speechless.
I’m standing at a bank 

of elevators in a hospital
going to visit my wife 
when a wheelchair rolls up

carrying my internist 
from years ago.
An excellent doctor

who retired to teach,
according to rumors.
Now he’s pushed by a woman

I assume is his...

What use

So easily

Trouble, trouble in the mown rye!
Sneaky snakes slither round and by,
silently squeezing through rubble
in the mown rye, trouble, trouble!

Sneaky snakes eat rats in the field,
mice and bugs that damage the yield. 
Common problems farmers must beat.
Rats in the field, sneaky snakes eat. 

Friendship extends to...
