Best Behooving Poems
Am doing a new thing
A thing that sings a new song
A song that dongs a new hit
Am hitting a high note
Freezes your muscle throat
Whilst behooving to a new quote
Stepping up to mend the broken walks
A walk into miles of eternity
A word outspoken can never be softspoken
I wish to say a word that would inspire
It's a new thing to acquire
A new style to admire
An admiration that leaves your sensation without contemplation
Doing a new thing
Swimming along with the waves
Flying arms wide open with the doves
Stunning like the cloves
And fufilling a life like the full moon
on the winter solstice
A smile in the sky!!!

Song Bird Sang Soft Sweet Refrain
While we went for ride on a train in Spain,
Single song bird sang a soft, sweet refrain;
We would yearn,
One day to return;
Our soul and spirit forever there did remain.
Jim Horn
Always would make me wonder,
What below earth is down under,
And above lightening and thunder;
Having been born from a blunder;
God saved those who were put asunder.
Greet Then Desire to Meet
Many people we eventually did meet;
Each of them we had wanted to greet;
Were incorrigible,
And deplorable;
What we had read in a Trump tweet.
Trump knew Flynn had lied and most
of his supporters were losers. The rest
were loyal Republicans.

Fine Poem Is Mine
Did discover each poem was forever fine,
And poets did define them as being mine;
Have been behooving,
An experience moving;
Are divine and can read while you do dine.
Chase A Mental Case Out of Office
Found incorrigible has been Trump's base;
Our President we found with an ugly face;
Had orange hair,
And hard to bare;
Out of office should chase the mental case.
To Trump Should Propose
Why anyone in right mind Trump chose,
This I personally would like to propose;
Do get rid of,
And out shove;
Lies made him grow a gargantuan nose.
The truth will make us free and free up
a lot of things.
Personally Are Petrified
With Trump we are personally petrified;
Looks like as usual he has lied and lied;
Low does stoop;
A nincompoop;
On a rail out of office force him to ride.
With Trump we surely should denounce,
And weigh all of the bull by each ounce;
Item collected,
And misdirected;
On all of his stupidity start to pounce.
By God me again He personally directed;
Check out tax returns and have inspected;
We must admit,
Is half of a wit;
So sadly Trump as prisoner was selected.
After Trump being President for short while;
On him should see what they have on file.
To God Devoted
To God I always have been devoted;
Received with honor and promoted;
I was wishing,
To go fishing;
Down river with him I have boated.

Limerick
Afar from Galilee out of the city of Nazareth traveled Joseph and Mary
Behooving the call of Caesar Augustus’ census decree for the citizenry
Complying did they for the fulfillment of a prophecy held as mystery
David’s City, Bethlehem, headed they for Joseph was of David’s ancestry.
Expectant steward father and obedient chosen mother journeyed together
Faithfully following God’s will, cognizant of His protection and power
Giving themselves to His leading until they were ushered to a manger
“His will be done,” they both expressed for the birth of the Deliverer.
“Immanuel – God with us, His name would truly mean,” Joseph professed
“Jesus should He be called as told by the angel,” Mary confessed
“King of kings” the Son of the highest by whom mankind will be blessed
“Love of God Bearer” He be since He will save those from sin oppressed.
Miraculous indeed! Jesus’ birth brought to the world wonderful changes
Night so dark became a glorious event transcending throughout all ages
Overwhelmed was Bethlehem with divine iridescence as spoken by the sages
“Peace on earth, Hosanna in the highest,” angels heralded upon the ranges.
Quickening hope-rays moved the shepherds into a quivering
Redemption they saw while their vision was illumined by God’s working
“Saviour, Christ the Lord is born,” heard they from hosts of angels singing
Tidings of joy, love, and peace reached them, Messiah’s incarnation testifying.
United in spirit, the shepherds worshiped the new born King with sincerity
Verily their hearts were filled with awe in exalting God’s Son in His humanity
Wrapped in swaddling cloth was he, laid in bed of hay, showing His humility.
Xenial to their guests, the blessed family welcomed the wise men who came
with jubilation
Yearning to magnify His name, they offered presents: gold, frankincense,
myrrh midst adoration
Zestfully grateful to the Almighty for His gift, eternal life of assured and
victorious salvation.

Fingers tapping keyboards
Producing letters, not sound
No lyrics or music
Just amusement
Degradation, separation
Behooving a movement by
standing in line to go
Around and around
cul-de-sac concepts;
a cyclic sign of decay
Take a number but realize
Nothing has order because
it's organized that way
Irony and hypocrisy are sewn
into innate intelligence
Closing the gaps between
the rivalry of God and yourself
There is no-one else
Just you and everyone

Delightful, spriteful
Whimsical, mightful
Mansical musical flash
Sharing caring
Ever bewaring
Soulful and careful and rash
Bewildered when innocence clashes with power
Unsure the brilliance that sparks what you are
So much to give for so much to desire
Hurricanes threaten to put out the fire
Moving, grooving
Ever behooving
Angry, heroic and bright
Joyful toyful
My what a boyful!
Defiantly cheering the night.

No Longer Will Attitude
Some time with poets wanted to spare;
What I did to them all was always dare
When God to me had been behooving
Will write more poems that are moving
No longer will attitude be, "I Don't Care."

High above us, guarding, looming.
Wild things about them, grooming
The Earth for their fertile graves
In the fires, all-consuming.
Within windows, moms and babes
The crying hushed as storms rage.
Crashing, thrashing for what seems like years.
Each moment suspended, a flash of days.
What lives in a man, only hopes and fears?
Other things that precede tears
Could never hide what's blooming
On the mountainside, above the cheers.
Giants' never won or lost; the doom is
For smaller things. Empty clouds behooving
Their prideful minds, empty as what appears.
Dust is the end as the mountain's looming.

A troubled youth gone for a year
Far from his family’s allure
For reasons that are still unclear
yet behooving that is for sure.
We hope his stay is suitable
for one so very young as he.
meager details but on the whole
we’re hoping with no guarantees.
A year may not seem long for some
But it is an eternity
For the foursome waiting at home
All anxious and downheartedly.
The shared grief is overbearing
Plucking at our fragile heartstrings.

When my lover gazed into my tearful eyes
I inhaled her sweet whispering sighs
Felt her warmth against my chest
Then I knew her blessed,
Her loving
Best
Behooving
Me, at her behest,
To bring her to that next crest
With passion we sought the waiting prize
When my lover gazed into my tearful eyes.

Silhouette
Dining in a solitary dinner
Sitting uptight
In wanton solace
Wallowing in despair
Amidst these flickering shadows
Behooving a twerking mind
Bemused with the welcoming darkness

Improving and Behoving
As more poems I write, they are improving;
And for you to read them all I am behooving;
Poems to read;
Fodder to feed;
Provide delightful experience that is moving.

While Waiting Trump Was Hesisatating
He first waited and then had hesitated;
On Trump golden shower was urinated;
He was behooving;
Experience moving;
Constipated and nothing could be vacated.

Trump Would Slip
Such good looking eyes with each lip,
And on myself had to get a great grip,
While behooving,
Moment moving;
As usual up again, Trump should slip.

I WILL NOT COME BEFORE YOU CRYING
Acknowledging greeting you a “good morning”
For I am not in mourning
And there’s NO good in morning
In mine pleasantries
It just in awe behooves me
That a daily salutation
In such a decoration
Premotes sadness sorrows
Death of the next hours
Mornings meaning mourning’s
No sadness nor death here
Yu see we humanity, got it twisted
For our tongues and teeth are enlisted
For thought behooving unproven dissention
Ahhh!
In In mine pleasantries
It just in awe behooves me
That a daily salutation
In such a decoration

You see we humanity, got it twisted

For thought behooving unproven dissention
Ahhh!!
In mine pleasantries
It just in awe behooves me
That a daily Salutation
In such a decoration
We're scream, shout, cry aloud birthing babies celebrate shouts happy
When we die we cry
we got it twisted
We should cry when we are birth
We should laugh, sing, joyously shout happiness
When we die
In pleasantries
I'm just in awe behooves me
That a daily Salutation
In such a decoration
