Best Bring On Poems

There are places that I've been  
that you may never see
As the steady winds are blowing
this storm brews inside of me
But the strong hand that guides me
will surely see me through
As I walk within this darkness
There is nothing left to do

I see the storm...

WORDS. They are my silent friends. I love them. Really love them. Always have. Always will.

I slumber on at night in fitful sleep. Then they come for me, wondrous and insistent, and torture me relentlessly. They form in my head, hesitantly at first, then in...

I am cold to my bones
The winter this year unsettled me
Freezing snow went on too long
Aging stiff thoughts 
Overpowered my normal optimism
I dream of buds bursting with life
I dream of swallows making their journey
I anticipate the energy of spring
These thoughts warm me....

The leaves are falling, falling, enriching
cool of fall season. Shades of fiery red,
yellow, gold, emitting light; bewitching
green summer leaves. Wondrous mystical bed
a time of windblown beauty gone and fled.

The past forgotten upon umber boughs
which shudder left disrobed, misbegotten.
A new beginning, a new smile endows
nature's convergence....

Bring on the rain
I want to again
To wash out this burning Haze
I feel it a drift in my nights distance Seas

Pounding a flight through my heart 
A Temple of soul
Pulsing tight to the back of my eyes 

I think of that little face you know...

At the famous Folies Bergère
all the dancing girls fell sick
No one to entertain the tourists
who wouldn’t get to see high kicks

The manager of the venue
thought so long and very hard
He unchained the dancing bears
that lived in the tiny back yard

They went through their routine
since they’d...

Today the breeze can make me believe
that Summer's heat is now in the past.
From this season we all need a reprieve.
Please bring on Fall at last
as Summer takes her final blast.

Late starting, the Summer made up her mind
to bake us all where we lay.
We await...

There once was a poetry contest
which was an heroic concept  
The great Roger McGough 
just took a quick look 
and entered a haiku contest instead...

I know humor can hoist my heavy heart,
those times when I've made too much ado.
A joke upgrades angst to laughter's ballyhoo.
You sometimes forget what you once knew.

Take this guy who wears his shorts on his head;
yes, he is a clown with a natural glow
forgetting what...

Bringing out struggles and hardships
Echoing pain from within myself
Resounding outside my protective walls
Going again and again
Seeking relief from internal struggle
Trying new revenues for my suffering
Desperate for the answer
I turn to things forbidden and hurting
I slowly lose my sanity
As I watch the blood pour from man-made...

Bring on September. Sunshine still lingers.
Down from its azure sky,
Sun runs long fingers
over gold fields while sun’s lovers sigh
knowing the affair is ended. Summertime, bye bye.

Bring on October. How cool is its breeze.
Poets sing praises most beautifully
for the bright hues bedazzling trees.
Pumpkins on porches lend...

School's out, bring

      on summer.

Swimming holes make

room for us.

Birds sing your hearts

out for me.

Summer vacation and

    on cloud nine.

Sleeping in, having

    dreams of what may

come true for me.

Summer sunshine and

having fun.

Baseball fields and

friends together.

Summer...

Bring on the rejection slips...

and/or try distilling my spirits
at losing gamble
if curious (by George) proceed
reading reasonable rhyme,
I guarantee the following words ramble.

Though flush with good humor
pun one mock two yields negligible
true cash equivalent value won
dirt poor offspring privileged as prodigal son
pockets bursting with legal tender,
when...

He thought the apocalypse has come
That the world would soon be crumbling 
She he found his favorite spot
And frantically started shoveling 

Getting ready for whatever comes
Whether it's a disaster or zombies
He will be prepared as ever
He won't go out easy he is ornery

He's been saving...

Bring on the blessings
Shangrala the soul
Reap rewards from heaven
As momentum starts to roll

Supersede your  potential
Give the world your gift
Keep your passion flowing
And progress will be swift

Energize your empathy
Galvanize your grace
Clarify your compassion
And put a smile on your face

A hacienda of happiness
Is what your world...
