Premium Member A Fish Named Ben
There once swam a catfish named Ben
     hadn't eaten since who knows when
     my worm looked just right,
     Ben took a big bite.
     No one's seen Ben swim'n since...

Ben Reine Ny Hoie

The wind laughs softly
The full moon with the stars
In the sky,
As I lie near the fountain 
Gazing at the 
Exquisite beauty 
Of the nature.
It's the charm of the moon
Opens so many thoughts 
And dreams.
The moon
Looks like a beautiful
Ballerina
Dancing with the troop of 
The professional stars.
Twisting...

Ben Hur Arkansas
I've  been a lot of  places in this land, 
From sea to shining sea. 
There's a  place in the hills of Arkansas
That means more than them all to me,
A little wildwood church where people meet 
To praise the Lord above. 
They don't...

Pickly Ben
“Gertrude please, I require your help,
I seem to be a little stuck!”
With whine and twine, Ben yelped.
“Get me out of this pickle, quick. It is a must!”

“What is it Ben, what can I do!?”
Gertrude could see Ben was tangled and mangled,
He was stuck and could...

Premium Member Relief - Ben Nicholson 1934
The dimensions revealed
Covered over in white
A hint of the layers
Hazed with redirected light
Some spaces to occupy
Deliberately kept empty
Some say I gave nothing
Others see I've given plenty
The beauty of silence 
Presented by this
Stand still, close your eyes
It's the softest of kiss
Messages written but hidden from view
All...

Big Ben Blues
I courted a British lady
Whose name was Sadie O'Grady
She took off her drawers
I exclaimed ‘Oh good lord!’
You sure ain’t no LADY, matey!...

Premium Member Young Poet Ben
There was a young poet named Ben
Whose poetry never did win,
Then his talent, I’m told,
Began to take hold,
Now Ben’s awards never end.

Premium Member Morning Sun Over the Ben
A new day awakens in a bonnie Scottish Glen
As I await the morning sunshine peeking over the Ben
Standing at the door of my centuries old croft
The wild fern's arise as the rays makes them loft

A calming soothing trickle delights my morning ears
Meandering through purple heathers...

Goodbye Lover, Or Why I Must Leave You (Response To and If You Should Leave Me, By Ben Okri)
Lover, when you and I began
It seemed our time was endless
I would say that Cassandra had been our prophet of light
We believed what she told us and she lied.

The stars lit up the sky and we gazed at them
Reminders of how tiny we can be.
You...

A Comrade Like Ben
A Comrade like Ben

A statesman like Mandela diplomatically
suspended the necessary struggle of opposites,
gummed his fragmented land together with reconciliation….
exploiters to exploited , murderers to martyrs
imperialist to invisibled indigenes  
lives in Sandton and councils Bill Clinton
and Naomi Campbell on plush carpets

a sinewy activist, hard as...

Ben Jesson
Whilst doing a degree at Aberdeen University, 
In marine biology, Ben started to do archery, 
Along which shooting which he took to more, 
Until the international stage was an open door. 

At the age of fifteen a disorder was diagnosed, 
Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease, which disclosed,
