Best Consideration Poems
Love is the clothe
most wonderful in
any catwalk,
is fervent water that
heat any
glacier heart...
Love does:
wind without wind,
cry with happiness and
smile of longing...
Love removes from
sadness the bitter face and puts
on the face the beauty
which is a work
of art...!

Would you do something if you knew it hurts another?,
and try to keep this thing under cover.
Why would someone not have little consideration?,
let's think about this and look for an explaination.
Does it matter if I make a person upset?,
why don't we all show people some respect?
If I step on your toes, what should I say?,
"hello, good morning, or have a nice day".
Should we as people do things and not really care?,
have we become a society that isolates feelings never
to share, or cover up all feelings and bury them somewhere?
Never having fun, loving, or trying to communicate,
I ask you, "is it too late"?
Or is it because I'm straight?,
maybe it's because we've been taught to hate.
There's no love that comes from within,
we've come to love only our kin.
We are always looking for another person's fault,
then we justify when we get caught.
We spend so much time focusing on others wrong,
and we never take time to focus on our own.
I'll be the first one to admit,
when things don't go our way we have a fit.
All we do is just speak our mind,
never trying to be a little more kind.
If we could figure out our fellow man,
there would be no problem to understand.
Everyone has different thoughts, feelings, and emotions,
no one knows anothers will, needs, or devotions.
We can only ask how they feel,
and try not to bruise their heel.
Some have very low self-esteems,
and are hurt by certain things.
these are hard facts no what it seems.
So in closing my sisters and brothers,
show and have some respect & consideration
for the space of others.

I read the verse -
......I have not found instruction nor gained wisdom from the Holy one......
As i pondered on that one verse i gained another verse
.... I will find instruction, gain knowledge and understanding from the holy one...
A proverb worthy of consideration
And i went to the carpenters shop and bought my bed
back home i assembled it and put the bedding in place
In its head board a pattern reminding me of angels
I could see the throne of Mercy opening...
And me entering, i could see huge Seraphim
Their sight burning a hole in my countenance
I approach the throne of mercy..
And mine soul refuses to go back home
For the head rest of my bed is engraved
Is engraved - The wings of a Mighty Cherubim

a proverb worth of consideration
Dear friend, how many times now, have I stood up for you?
Been a friend when you needed; been a friend that was true
When we met, you were still very new to my city
you were both struggling for work and were full of self-pity
I gave you contacts, introductions and references too,
I even gave you a job once; it was the least I could do
Once again, now you've come to my well just to drink,
to ask my support...well now, friend, let me think...
Hmmm.....
You dropped me as fast as a hot burning ember,
when you heard I was divorcing my matrimonial member
In a mad rush to judgement, you ran straight out the door;
well, in truth you just slammed it and left ME on the floor
You stopped with the Christmas cards, never mind any emails,
I just assumed it was my fault for not sharing the details
But with all of your self-proclaimed "good Christian morals",
shame on YOU for taking sides in other people's quarrels
Still, in my heart I hearken back to what I always told you before;
"It's my pleasure to help you; that's what true friends are for"
So.....who do you want me to address this letter to?
About some poem titles, I'm a little vexed
If a poem is posted, isn't it already in text?
I don't understand why it's being included
in a LONG title when it should be excluded.
Some titles take up six lines or even more
removing other poems that fall to the floor.
Is it reasonable to ask that titles be shorter?
Your opinion, if you're opposed or supporter.
I've missed poems that I would like to read because they're driven off the listing page by titles that take so many lines. Please be cognizant of the amount of space taken from others when adding information to a title that could be included as a footnote.
I was about to think, and then I began to think about what I was about to think about. I am thinking, thinking about what I am thinking about, to see if I should be thinking about what I am thinking about. I am thinking, thinking about my thoughts: What if I am thinking about that which I should not be thinking about? I am thinking, thinking about framing my thoughts. I am thinking, thinking about been certain about what I am uncertain about. I am thinking, thinking about doubt, thinking about getting it out.
I am thinking, thinking about thinking how to think. I am thinking, thinking that I am my thoughts. I am thinking, thinking that thoughts can lead the mind astray. I am thinking, thinking that I need to picture the change; before I attempt to change the picture. I am thinking, thinking that if I don’t understand the misunderstanding: I am bound to misunderstand the understanding.
I am considering my thoughts, considering my considerations; to see if what I am considering is worthy of consideration. I am considering words, word as in word – word is in race, word as in place, word like space – spacious space, inner space, outer space, head space, foot space, and my space. I am considering, considering maintaining pace within this universal space. I am considering, considering that I don’t have to do what I intend to do – but I must do something even when I am doing nothing.
I am considering words, words like implosive and explosive, inclusion and exclusion, attraction, distraction and extraction. I am considering light: Flashlight, searchlight, spotlight, high light, low light, sun light, star light, stop and go light, brakes light, tail light and head light. I am considering word like minefield. I am considering mine. Mine as an explosive device: Mine as a valuable resource - mine as belonging to me. I am considering, considering the value of my mine. I am mindful; mindful of mining this mine of mine, which is worth more than all the diamond, gold and silver mines.

No it's not easy, living can be sleazy fraught badly taught
Taut with apprehension, how should we live? some say give
Nothing, take everything' watch and judge wait till their feet
Slip then bear down ' not with them.. Sound bias test your lie
Although it could feel out the forms distant, sound waves Out sent as the bat does, mammal or willow different Methods same world shame we won't open our hearts
And so preoccupied we desist to really live
To merely drift exist '
Always be considerate, 'dude, despite' your ‘manly mieN'.
What do I mean by mien? It’s how you look - your imagE;
There is no way, a guy has to be a “rude or crude” felloW.
“Playing the fool, portraying cool” is ‘really rather ridiculouS'.
No one - family, girls, honchos - appreciates a show-ofF.
With “flair, dare to care” for others, being the 'humble herO',
giving ‘people points, putting’ them first. That is way cooleR.
Instead of ‘always achieving attention,’ by skillful plottinG,
‘turn thoughts, talk and tasks to’ focus on others, not yoU.
Females, gals, hearken, it’s true for all teens absolutelY.
Angle the spotlight ‘on others often' and find selflessnesS.

Leaking pontoon predicts my departure
Impatient yacht chases nautical next
Mislaid terrain erases my history
Grim authorities in obvious places patrol
Timidity prescribes aghast of tranquil abiding
Windwaken, I'm admiring the Sea of Revolt
Remarked upon in wonder, venture presents
Treasure indiscernible beneath tumbled tumult
Bold abandon condoned by bow of rationale
Faithful lungs serenade the speed of sails inflated
Turning back causes hair whipped vision to opaque
Potential's yell propels me from return's persistence
Society's twine allured by Twitter lunacy
My social media expels expiring bubbles
Sunk with rusty ruins of past governing
Continents are considered impediments
Ballast beckons ocean of observation
Jubilation journeys my adjournment
Angels guide navigation wide eyed
Fleeing seabirds call for recognition
Wave over waves of sweeping search
Unlikely dream festered in slumber of time
Shaken awake by inspiration's finger nails
Carries message of necessary momentum
Voyage for knowledge graces me
Extremeties are empty, planets drift
Virgin space accommodates galaxies

Free Verse of 2020 Contest
the number of the bygone era in the history utter failure
as an old bread from a shoplifter
that love had as herbs antlers
and the benefits were buffed around the choir
appropriate dress
the dangling of the seas fog bring back the fire in the shadow of the skin
or maybe we are overwhelmed by the thunder in the light of hell
under the dunes of lions
princes and the size is now full
belittled the flight of the past must now do penance
I was so wrong about the way your innocence tormented in the
haze
each child has his worldly consideration
Was I to fathom thy scintillating visage,
imagining that I was to see no better?
Was I to consider that thou art you, and yet a mirage,
My eyes closed, my blindness healed?
Would I ever be able to ponder thy compassion side,
Everything carefully considered, with thoughts so kind?
Must I accept that it was for me to provide,
And that thy love was to be our shield?

don't let
sound minds be
taken in. Programmed
from an early age, it's likely
to feel so much like the truth that it's never questioned.
Experienced minds must sharply explore; future lives depend on old ones' new thinking.
A common misconception God can do anything,
That nothing is beyond God’s power to achieve
I hope you’ll excuse my examples on the wing,
None reflect on God, in whom we should believe.
In truth, God cannot create an unworthy soul.
To do so would be the antithesis of His nature
Because all souls reside in their creator, whole,
I say, possessing, like God, an everlasting future.
God cannot do evil actions; God is entirely good,
No evil can be ascribed to, or blamed on, God,
Be assured, God always does what He should
I am convinced nothing from God can be flawed.
God cannot hate those engaging in wrongdoing
For “hate” is not in God’s vocabulary; God is love.
Hating would be a totally unimaginable viewing
From our Creator’s unique position here or above.
God can’t make a stone so large He cannot lift it
Is the old seminary truism for consideration
Which can be debated in the most erudite skit
I’ll leave you all the above for your deliberation.

On Consideration of Tyranny
Postulating on the human condition with due irreverence
In incongruous arguments clawing at the conscience
Endless are the vacuous tools used at will
Of words like dirges slipping from the tongue
Tyrants on their serpent’s insidious game
Come with daggers at the throat of justice
Those minds that seek oppression as their friend
Firm ground is mired in cowardice and covers spoils
Slips into history’s decay
Two laws and worlds evolve, two worlds of different colors
One is the hue of wealth
The other, the black of poverty
To fall beneath, drown away in pockets of perverted air
Spoken in craven discourse over the all devouring depravity by such souls
Sponsored by our friends of anarchy
Drawn to that which is the black veil of life
That in that darkened soul to sin, oppressors came to win
Leave the world a better place?
Hell does refuse them at the gate
Is there a darker place to take them?
They serve themselves so cleverly and deadly
Clearly demonic but, rebuffed by Satan on the run
“Get out of Hell!” He yells. “Find another darker home!”
Repugnant In life and death their tyranny swims the sewers to breed
Trolling for more lost souls to conquer
As serpents garner favors from such darkened deeds
