Best Bids Poems

I got the bad news today, we were loosing a friend.
One of our best Limerick writers Jack Ellison.
 Ailments are no surprise when growing older in age.
A new Chapter in Jacks life as he leaves, and turns the page.
 His Writings came from his heart,...

Bids Thee A Night of Good

O' fairest maiden, thy vaulted domain art free,
Doth fleeth from thy bonds of horizons hold,
Cast thyself, and claim your superb crown to be,
Thy willfulness causeth favor amidst the bold,
Luminescence shewn thee that thou hast...

You can't fool a dancer,

hard reverb coming at you like Prancer-

welcome-wagon interstellar like Lancer-

holy demon! 
When did my steam stop? 

Holly weedin'! 
Where did you chop chop? 

Heeeeeeeeeeeey! ! ! ! 

Welcome here...
Its home in the winter.

Heeeeeeeeeeeey! ! ! ! 

Dear Splinter,

it's a creep in...

~Winter Bids Autumn Adieu~
Russet, orange and harvest gold
Autumn is the season when colors unfold.
The trees in celebration
dancing to the wind
preparing for the watery
wayward winds to rescind.
Lovers stroll hand in hand in the park
while people throw frisbees
to their dogs that bark.
Children play jumping
in the colorful leaves.
Sweaters,...

Sometimes when the sun
Hovering on the horizon in the eventide
On a cold, windy winter day
Is bidding goodbye at the close of day

I watch it almost wistfully
Wishing it would linger much longer 
Oh, the beautifully bright glow
And the glory of it, I truly treasure

What could be...

The sun pauses briefly then slowly drifts from view;
The sky fills with  magenta, orange, red, and golden hues. 
Forest shadows begin to creep along the forest floor,
And melodious music is heard no more.
Along the meandering brook a grey mist lifts then slowly glides,
Beyond the...

a seamstress who is dying of tuberculosis. With money

As Saturated Earth Bids Me Adieu

As saturated earth bids me adieu
Angry moon spat out darken, molded cheese
There, prisoner in chains, thinking of you
My evil captors doing what they please.
Wicked lateral cuts gracing my arms
Damn cratered knots all over my head
That gypsy sold me a bag...

Echos reflect off nature’s  beautiful sites
Warmth radiates as if in spectacular flight 
Mysterious moonbeams sparkle so bright
Kissing upon the horizons softly before night

Breezes caress each dew kissed leaf
The end of days much needed relief
Frozen moment in time being so brief  
Darkness teasing with...

Streams of color blend seamlessly in swirls of delight.
Heavily embossed across the faded sky, birds in flight.
Sunset’s glowing colour of crimson and gold,
As night’s velvety blanket begins to unfold.
Whispers of a breeze wafting gently, flickers a scent.
Evokes aromatic bursts, sensual yet earthy by intent....

Why An Imam with a mobile 
is the last thing you will want  
For today, 
Has many reasons, 
many more to come in days to come! 

As your palm is already junk  
in a once hopeful Palmetto Room 
Stanza is an Italian Word....

Reclined under the shade of a snag tree,
A babbler piqued my curiosity.
Staggered by the companionship, initially.
Then pleased.

I discerned a lamenting warble...
The massif offered commiserations to him,
With an echo.
A lorikeet adjoined him, ensuingly
And, she twittered a novel...
Which was beyond my comprehension.

Nefarious humans are certainly not shaped,
To...
