Best Bringing Poems

This sunny morn, a maying we will go.
We seek bright blooms for garlands and our queen.
The best month of the year is here, and so
this sunny morn, a maying we will go
into the woods where wildest blossoms grow.
With baskets in our hands; through fields of...

Come dance with me, my winged escape
and skip the skies in flight
we’ll let the wind lick at our nape
and subtle touch invite.
Our cares we’ll toss to milky moon
and resonate our silky tune-
       our cares we’ll toss

Thunder and lightning ruled the black night
As the frightened young mother struggled 
Beads of sweat ran down her pretty face
The old midwife calmly sponged off sweat
She hummed a lullaby to soothe her pain
Praying that the husband would be back soon
Five miles to travel in treacherous...

Into the soft night you come...
All of your being--past, present and future
Each treasure you eagerly bring 
I hold securely within sacred halls
Twinkling stars ablaze in soft, fixed eyes
And hungry hearts murmur within the silence
How the wonder of it all, in that moment 
When neither time...

I get up early, that's my way
Gotta bring that chicken home every day

My arms are longing for you, babe
But chicken's all they got
Loads of chicken for you, babe
Bringing home a lot

Better be there waiting, babe
Better be there by the door
If I can't hold on no...

When their very young dad went to jail,
they surely lived in a realistic Hell...
I would hear the youngest one cry over an article she read.
Who had taken her daddy away was too cruel;
nothing they said would make her understand,
why didn't the harsh judge break some...

A piglet broke free from her pen
She’s pursued by three angry men
Caught by her curly tail
Oh how piggy did wail
Guess he saved the bacon again!

As I was checking out the cats on view,
I saw just one who even seemed to care.
She put white paws up to the glass, this Blue
Calico with long, gray orange hair.

Although her nature mattered most to me,
I liked that she was small, with eyes of...

Happiness
Is not the spawn of pleasure
And desire,
It’s not the child
Of satisfying need…
Oh, happiness
It’s not a lot of things
It’s not the smile of the sated
Nor the promise of more to come,

Happiness,
It’s not a lot of things…
But to me
It’s so much more:

Happiness,
To me,
Why… it is a feeling...

Sorry other poets. You just became my sounding board. There are many things that are becoming quite interesting. This subpoena thing is one of them. 
If Trump receives one from a Federal Court, he is required to attend.
If you plead the fifth you are in...

The day is coming
     when lion and lamb
     join together at last,
     not as fierce predator
     and succulent prey,
     but as companions,

And if you stand in doubt
Who brought this rhyme about
My name is Isaac James Odah
I remain in good order.

Though my rhyme be regged
Tattered, rusty and jagged;
If you take heed
It'll be a good lead.

For as far as I can see,
It is wrong with each degree
When many...

Trapped beneath the clouds 
of someone else’s misery 
Hearing of their crappy job 
take’s such a toll on me 

If you don’t enjoy your work 
then simply walk away 
Don’t bring your garbage home 
and dump it every day
