Best Carefully Poems

To my Moonbeam leaping stag,
box  of  miscellaneous keys two
little shelves your favorite chicken 
salad  with pot of  Lady  Grey tea.
Royal jelly honey-based receipe
all natural retorative  toiletries.
Splendid Summer afternoon
strolling and chatting in the deep 
wicker chair at the old country...

Early morn
          Two wide-set yellow eyes
            Peek through cobalt blue

A poem that flows will soothe the ear
Carefully chosen words move it along
The poet’s soul those voices you hear
A poem that flows will soothe the ear
Without intending brings forth a tear
Words like lyrics to a special love song
A poem that flows will soothe the ear

You wear sadness like pearls, carefully strung between sighs,
in a silent elegance that surrounds your neck,
as if pain were something to be worn with pride.
They marvel at your resilience, viewing it as a spectacle,
yet they never question why suffering
must be your personal signature.
They whisper about...

    Hush my little child 
    No more tears 
    Your mother and father 
    will be your guide 
    Beautiful as an angel 
    Fragile as...

On the roads of life, people make their access.
If they don’t want to stop, they take the express.
People don’t see traffic lights or stop signs on the highways.
However, there are occasionally stoppages and delays.
We don’t want to waste time when we are here.
When there are...

Choose carefully your battles
Not everything is worth a fight
Pick what matters the most
Leave all the rest behind

Fight with your heart and your soul
Carry yourself with pride
Be fair and accept your mistakes
We are only humans,

I Choose My Friends So Carefully
by Caren Krutsinger & Rhona McFerran

Get back in your house,
I will stay in mine.
We won’t act like neighbors,
Everything will be fine.

I had given you chances,
Several actually,
Invited you to breakfast,
And had you to tea.

It has been twenty years,
No waves, and no...

Spittle barbs and back-aimed knives 
Do sometimes come my way 
Resilience means I do survive 
So I let critics have their say. 

I really like to live my life 
You may see me as quite calm  
But I’ll warn you of that button ...

You’ve got to wiggle your bum 
             Like a worm;               
You’ve got to land those big fish

I watched you as you
Smiled softly, strolling through the stools.
Your shirt clung to you like
The spidery fingers of love that gripped me.
Your matted hair was silky soft
And your skin felt like satin on my lips.
Your name was heavenly on my tongue and only divine
Intervention could...

He is looking at her a bit sanctimoniously
He is about to mansplain again

"Am I spooking you?" he asks grinning
"I'm not trying to propose, Cutie.
God no. Could you imagine?
I just think it's possible, you know?
I'm just saying I can see a path?"

Is this kid joking?
He's a...

Keeping up appearances
Is what it's been like ever since
You left me without a warning
Leaving my heart hurt and storming
Trust just faded from inside
Tears kept falling from my eyes
Faithfulness I thought you knew
Until the one day when you threw
All these good years down the drain
Just to...

I'm not a patient person
I wont wait forever
my heart will grow weak
from trying to hold these feelings in
be careful
you might just loose me...
