Best Be Active Poems
Winds whisper be active throughout the day
Flowers whisper enjoy every moment of stay
Mountains whisper be silent, calm, stand tall
Rains whisper go up pure every time you fall
Moon whispers in dark be the light
Sun says don't be egoistic of your might
Multifarious things can block me
Be realistic, your limitations always see
Earth whispers endure all pain
Be silent, in crying there's no gain
Forests whisper don't worry at all
Benevolent God provides for all
Waves whisper work without rest
Till you are alive don't lose your zest
Rivers whisper don't stop till your goal you reach
Many things profound, elements of nature teach

I was searching my mind for a theme to choose
for my very first poem of the year
turns out it was an easy choice
to thank some friends who I hold so dear.
I've never met any one of these folks
but I consider them friends none-the-less
I established their friendship on Poetry Soup
and I consider them all the best.
For their kind and generous comments
to express how I feel is real tough
the right words really escape me
I just can't thank them enough.
There's Sweetheart, Bob and Larry
Wilma, DR Ram and Barbara G.
Debra, Andrea and Sara
who have all been so gracious to me.
p.d., John F. and Hitendra
Carolyn, Carol and Francine
C.L., Audrey and Doris
all friends who I've never seen.
If it weren't for all these nice people
I would have given up a long time ago
Their encouragement made me keep trying
and helped me much more than they know.
When retired you tend to get dormant
just sit sleeping or watching T.V.
till I got involved with Poetry Soup
that's what was happening to me.
I don't want my brain to retire
it needs to be active for sure
My writing and the challenging contests
help my brain to endure.
So I thank all you wonderful Soupers
believe me you are the best
you kept me from becoming a bump-on-a-log
of that I will attest.
There are others who I haven't mentioned by name
I hope no one feels slighted
cause everyone I've ever dealt with
I've always been highly delighted.
A Healthy and Happy New Year to you all!
I need to write a poem today
One that will blow your mind away
It must be wild and serene
But that won't fit into this scene
It must be active, visual too
Like something I'd do at the zoo
Maybe, I'll pretend I've got the flu
But that won't work you'd stay away too
Oh my, There's stars, clouds and mountains tall
Oceans or grass to catch your fall
But then, how do I get up high
Now that I've got your attention, I'll fly
Now that you are here with me
I'll zoom and soar and miss that tree
But if I don't what will WE do
Now I've got you thinking too
Thank goodness now that you came
My whole concept was to entertain
Now is the time to confess or admit
It's your turn cause, I'm getting air sick
Wake up now it’s time to go,
Don’t rush when we’re about to go,
Demolish all obstacles before you go,
Keep up the good job until we go,
Say bye to the world when we go,
Prepare for the next before you go.
You never know when will be the next,
You may just keep on writing a text,
Determining what could happen next,
You’ll be studying an essay with a subtext,
And searching a theme in a video-text.
Remember that you’re still to live,
Never ignore things you believe,
For your sins GOD will forgive,
For what you do always be active,
You will be traveling alive,
In a long journey until you arrive.

Before you wrote that poem for me I thought I was content being single.... Now, I yearn
for your affection, yearn to make you happy, strive to make you mine..... I don't want
your thoughts to be about anything but me until we meet and beyond.... I yearn to be that
man that has been in your dreams, I WANT YOU...... Not only in body baby but to grow with
me, to love this man until death do us part..... I have been lazily looking for love not
knowing I would find your affections here on PS. I knew that I was drawn here for a
purpose other than my poetry...... I was drawn here for you to find me..... God has given
you this chance at love my dear, don't smack his hand away.... I may not repent my sins, I
may not be active in the preachings of our lord and savior, but he loves me just as
much.... He wants to see me happy, wants you to find true love.... I am his gift to you
boo..... I truly believe that.........

We were known for being feminine,
but femininity is not being too sensitive.
It's a serious talk about facts, that all of us should think positive.
We always get belittled, so woman should fight and be active!
We have weaknesses, but can be turned as our strengths to survive
There are many things that we can do, even carrying a life
So what are you going to do?
love the person for being the reason why you're alive
We aren't recognized before a woman who's strong and independent
Slave, naive, a coward and a trash, that is how women being treated
Men are powerful. They are physically strong and being recognized as brave, intelligent and can do anything they wanted
But now we are equal, say yes, to women empowerment!
Women had sacrificed many things even their wants and needs
But being silenced for having no right to speak
Is this how our society should be?
No equality? Pride and a man should lead?
We are essential, a woman should be loved and protected
Not being raped, abused and molested.
Women's capabilities has enhanced society's development
Here comes revolution of women empowerment
I am a WOMAN, not JUST A WOMAN
Let us also be heard through HER story
Let's be fair and do not only rely on HIS tory
Because God created this world with man and a woman
I never thought that I would be a mom,
you were an unexpected surprise.
I fell in love with you instantly my child,
My nurturing womb was your first home.
You alone were my absolute everything,
I enjoyed watching you grow up.
But the years seemed to go by super-fast,
and I am extremely sad you have gone away.
I love your dad, but I miss you so very much,
he gets on my nerves and makes me so mad.
Your father is loving and so supportive and all
but nothing seems to work, I think I need help.
Maybe I need to go see a psychiatrist.
Without you my darling I don't seem to exist.
I stay in my bedroom for hours at a time.
I used to be active in the house and chores,
but my to-do list is blank, nothing is on it.
Things around the house are in disarray.
I prepared you very well to go off to college,
But I didn’t prepare myself for when you did.
Your dad tries to cheer me up constantly,
but his efforts are useless and I am in a dark pit.
I have an appointment to see a shrink next week,
Maybe then I'll find ways to cope without you.
I heard about empty nesters, but I never thought
in my wildest dreams that would be me.
Pillows and blankets
Shaped in a 'V',
Bottles and pills
In a wrapper-filled sea.
Drool on our faces
Clothes on the ceiling.
These are the nights
My heart is healing.
My head on your feet
Your toes in my hair,
A repulsive aroma
Sweetens the air.
It's the puddle of glop
Is that yours or mine?
It doesn't matter
We'll both decline.
Though we both know it's yours
You somehow persuade,
And I clean up the mess
You swiftly evade.
I open the blinds
To see what we've missed,
You gripe and you grumble
But comply when you're kissed.
An hour to be active
Before it's once again night,
An hour to argue
And tickle and fight.
All showered and groomed
Clothes still on the ceiling,
These are the days
My heart is healing.
The sky turns to black
From the momentary blue,
But my day isn't wasted
When I'm wasting with you.
Bearable winter
Blanket covered cold
Attacked by white Gas of
Fallen Snow
But unbearable silent
Cripples into the home
Like a snake
To live with loneliness
Get Scattered past
Comes like a shooting star
Burning and blasting
As a thunder bolt
To the vulnerable heart
Like a novel keeps turning pages
Last chapters of the age
Tries to be active
Like a butterfly
While the birds are vanishing
Letting to the cold
Heater in the home
Makes warm the room
Cooks once in a way
Finding the present to share it
At the evening table
Cold darken lumpish light
Turns to here and there
Trying to realize
The nature of life
A sigh of pain
Or a sigh of relief
Unconsciously comes
Likewise something missed
In the life of four seasons

I have to tell a story
About a girl who had no glory
Out Spoken,
Yet so broken
Being rude,
Always in a mood
Never had luck with guys
They will take one look at her and realize,
That they want her friend in the dazzling disguise
She felt very unattractive
Yet wanted to be active
Always taking a back seat
Never felt strong enough to take the lead
On a low,
Wanting no-one to know
The true beauty inside, who wants to burst out and show
She started to analyse and delve
Within herself
Believed that there was something within her,
She just needed to stir
She became beautiful and bold
She discovered gold
Humble and kind
With an open and wise mind
She realized the fight was never external
It was always internal
She is now happy and content with her beautiful soul
She has reached her goal
Her inner beauty is what makes her glow
Yes from insecure to bold she did grow
The way she sway her hips when she walks
The kind words she says when she talks
Her heart filled with love, compassion and integrity
This is her serendipity
When situation really gets so tough
And faith, so difficult to have
Refusing to give up is the key and the hope
Our attitude towards the situation
Either gives or steals away our Joy
Being depressed is a factor of our thought
Hey!!! Get over your depression episode
For, somehow you are better than someone out there
Get off your problems
And go help someone
Give up not! Give up not!
For everything is changeable except God
Have hope and faith
Like a pregnant woman is pregnant with a child
Be pregnant with hope, idea, goals and beautiful imaginations
Like a pregnant woman is expectant and called expectant mother
Endeavour to be called an expectant being
Full of expectation and be active
For your creator is able and longing for the appointed time
To be gracious to you
So cheer up, for tough times is like a sowing time
But like a farmer sows with an expectation to harvest someday
YOU WILL HARVEST SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, how my initiative has flustered,
for I assumed of years before we separate
I sigh through dear retirement of a beloved pastor.
What stinginess imposed no access to Fish Fries and the classes?
In retrospect, I think this showed the sum that I could pay.
Oh, how my initiative has flustered.
If in the face-to-face responsiveness, I could not be active,
During his parochial presence,I may have considered exchanging ideations within the electronic mail.
I sigh through dear retirement of a beloved pastor.
Ah, to attend the Conversational coffee, which followed early Wednesday masses,
I strongly desire that in temporal asset my mind provided doability in willing myself awake.
Oh, how my initiative has flustered.
Perhaps, my sleeping rhythm could truly mould to donut Sundays,
and not corporeal nourishment but interactions would satiate.
I sigh through dear retirement of a beloved pastor.
I drown in upset without the known legal right of correspondence.
The prospect of mutual familiarity would permit messages had I done the actions strengthen my regrets.
Oh, how my initiative has flustered.
I sigh through dear retirement of a beloved pastor.
Let your mouse do all the walking
Join a hobby all can share
Click and Like - it's Facebook Stalking
Let them know you're waiting there
There's no need for shady lurking
There's no need to show your face
Easy to pretend you're working
While you stalk through cyberspace
With phone tech the finger fingers
Always near, where e'er they roam
Your hobby on the mobile lingers,
Even on your way back home
In the morning, maybe sleepy
Only takes a min or two
No one's gonna think it creepy
If you comment on what's new
It's a hobby for all ages
All the slim or supersize
Can be active on the pages
Without awkward exercise.
Quick and easy, safe and legal
All can learn the simple trick
Hover like a hunting eagle
See the post, swoop down and 'Click'.
Particles
Ask meaning of bearing limitless
Depository sand particles in desert,
Destiny is to bear enjoying parching
Following ghastly cooling nocturnal.
Coinciding with hurricanes and ebbs
Gathering fun and flowing in unknown place
Immeasurable delight advances always
Bores, if rains sometimes thwarting project.
Soaring high up in the firm advancing tourism
Dwellings of far and wide human’s vision
To my reply elder spoke, heave of stone brick
Glittering is that water reservoir, men call do to it ocean.
Wetting through water is disgusting
No remedy to walk hither and thither flying
We are happy in our realm
One unity, one culture fine.
Streak of jungles are human’s habitat
Luckily they don’t like us charging hot sand
Don’t come towards us and be active
Traders, hawkers some ill traffickers.
Do come treading on our heart
Being their activity criminal and fought
We don’t prosecute for trivial matters
Otherwise could silent them in our particles.
Beseech the Lord, for revelations, let Him equipe
You for spiritual battle; for unrest it is lapping at our feet.'
Perversion is rife, sin is advertized broadly.. And what
Does revelations ch 13 v 7 explain.' For those who say
What can we do..? Does it say the beast makes peace
With you? Or you with him.? I think rather not ? So what
Is your answer? Is it yes and amen ? to the Lord of
Hosts' for if you have read that scripture that describes
Christians ' actions then read further to revelations ch 15
Verses 1 to 2.. What are your thoughts,.? Who is this
Who makes it so very plain? 'Who else indeed.? As
God lives surely satan will die, his spirit extinguished
Glory Glory Glory.. Praise Him call upon His name.'
