Best Border On Poems

As I lay listening to the steady thumping of his heart,
I can't even begin to explain how much he has become a part
Of me of my life of my heart
It began at the very start
My mind drifts away 
When we first met on that day
His...

I dwelt once in a dreamy town, my land was alongside the border,
In a region of natural beauty, next to a crystalline body of water.

From the jade hills of my land, I could clearly see the other side,
Like black midnight sees the stars, when they've...

He’s convinced me he’s eighty years old,
and he must be with the stories he’s told,
many border on rude,
but none I’d call crude,
from the man with a heart of pure gold....

She needs a separation, you can understand,
it involves subjugation, you can understand.

Her boss at work chooses only female colleagues, 
some may be a temptation, you can understand.

On break, his frequent jokes border on harassment, 
it is only flirtation, you can understand.

Often we see him...

Does God Care Who Wins a Football Game?

By Elton Camp

There are just a few words I'd like to say
As to things for which it's proper to pray

To request divine blessings is usually okay
But some words border on blasphemy to say

To ask God to bring victory...

NO FREEDOM FOUND FOR  FOOLS

The three of us knew what we were doing
We also knew what we were doing was wrong
What we didn’t know was that trouble was brewing
But numbers made us all feel strong

We came and went within a wisp of woefulness
And had...

I have traveled the world over but like the United States best
From Maine to California, north and south, east, and west.
Born in West Virginia, I live in the Commonwealth of Kentucky
Have visited Vermont, New Hampshire and, of course, New Jersey.

Massachusetts, in New England, is historical...

I.

Conversation comes in polite manners
And natural tones.
We talk;
You of your early mornings
While I of scattering
Thoughts that border on nonsense
Debating with myself on a mind divided.
I babble, distraught;
Should I or should I not

What with autumn and its golden...

Daydreams need to be housed in a safe environment.
Whilst relaxing, meditating , bathing and pottering about....
A daydream raises and floats out like a thought cloud...
Comfortable, secure surroundings nurture these  bubbles
of dreams , hopes ,wishes  inspirations........ Designing
A protective animal border on the outer edge...

There was an eagerly keen schoolboy,
Who when used the Greek term ‘hoi polloi’,
His teacher, a pedant--
A kind of stinging ant,
Corrected it to ‘the hoi polloi’;
Sir, my apology,
Ain't it tautology?
No, use grammar, boys as would a toy!
___________________________________________
In Greek, hoi polloi means ‘the people’. Thus, hoi is...

These are the people that voted for our president
And these are the people that buy all the tabloids
And these are the people that wouldn’t notice talent
If it hit them over the head repeatedly

Last picked at your sporting events
Last picked off your publishing lists

These are the...

And so I sat thinking of something I couldn't live without....
As if my house was on fire and I had 5 seconds to grab one thing. 

A very hard decision to make. Or is it?
I'm a gut gal. 
I go with my intuition always.

Some are born into a house
With no love.
  Some learn quickly how to
Push when they shove.

  Some are born with a
Silver spoon in hand.
  Some live off the 
Fat of the land.

  Some are emotionally stunted,
A tormented soul.
  Some can...
