Best Contributed Poems

Old blabber mouth gets on my wick
His attitude makes me quite sick
He plays to the crowd 
Is brash and so loud 
My husband thinks he's an idiot!

Inspired by Stevie Wonder Song on the Radio today - He's Misstra know it all'

As I Plot Just One More Day

Desperate as the waking at blackest dawn
I seek only moments within eternity,
for the day upon me is long 
and I do not ponder its end

Forever that blackened door beckoned
in tones of promising delights
who can know what lies in its...

Sweet Spring begins, when you allow the fresh winds in.


Letting go of the pitter pat, of the feet of last winter’s cold, 
and snowfall’s past.


Forgiving any and all, who you think did any harm to you.


Make a list of those who contributed to your life~...

Two black holes spiraled,
their dance
sent ripples 
through the universe –
racing at speed of light
waves
warp spacetime.

A billion years later,
on a small planet, 
laser beams zoom between mirrors,
capture the echo.
Einstein’s heirs 
decode
the message.

In honor of the scientists and engineers who contributed to the discovery of gravitational waves...

POSSUM JUGGLING  
  Written By the Poets Listed After The Poem.  
  
Possum juggling is a trick conjuring sport.  
You should never do it if your arms are short.  
Nasty teeth are gnashing as they're tossed in air. ...

The weeping of souls and Heavenly joy abounds
Succumb to the raptures of that moisture upon a cheek
Transcendental souls speak their own language of tears
We are just their harbouring hosts as each other they seek

No longer tears of pain - but instead ‘Tears of Soulful Joy’
Into...

It is not the number of enemies that one should count in his life

Each time I see:

The golden sun
The silver moon
The platinum stars 
            I see Thee, my Lord

Each time I hear:

The rain to fall
The brooks to murmur 
The falls to roar

My mind has taken off for Neverland,
I am hanging on by a cobweb, 
It is bumping me against Venus
and has dragged me up through a black hole
or two.  I barely dodge a couple of rocket-spinning- asteroids.

 4:11 a.m.
I am screaming, “Slow down! Stop! Please...

"The Crow Bar"

she said,
here I bury my dead,
you can hear them sleeping
somnulent forget-me-nots,
snoring blithely unaware,
in neat rows between 
the thick,
ink injected lines,
their soiled lives
ploughed and 
turned over 
replanted
sunnyside down
expunged and 
wrung out

eventually,
not totally oblivious, 
they are found 
6 feet under 
masonary slabs,
light weights
all grey rocked,
the...

Firstly, one has to take into account their scientific peers’ remarks,
As to the likely cause of how an Earthquake starts.
Some forums say it is caused by the shift in tectonic plates,
Others seem to doubt, seem to hesitate.
Some believe a government conspiracy of a machine that...
