Best Country Of Origin Poems

A friend once told me
How he was fascinated by me-
By how I could walk up to absolutely
Anyone and be their best friend,
Switch cultures like t-shirts
Emblazoned with "I heart
Fill-in-the-blank..."
I'm not sure quite how to explain
How once you've observed society 
For long enough you realize
That just about...

a life is a life
there is no grading scale of value
irrespective of
country of origin
or country of residence
or country of destination

a life is a life
we are all children
of God
there is no lesser God
there is no greater God
there is God
the Supreme Being
We are all his children

we call...

Ouzo, oh ouzo,can make your head verily spin
But it made me feel like I was morphing into Aphrodite's twin!
And, more potent were your eyes stare and long eyelashes.
Dancing the Greek soldiers dance, OPA and in proud sashes.


Decades down life’s river, in the boat of life,...

In what ways have nutritional 
and health
and financial
and well-being values increased 
over past time,
whether a season,
or a year,
or a decade,
or a lifetime,
or a millennium,
and in what ways have toxic dissonant disvalues
and decaying trends ebbed and flowed?

Where exactly?
For whom and not for whom?
How, when, and where...

“Stealers-Keepers” Questioned

By Elton Camp 

If something has been stolen long enough
Then is it all right simply to keep the stuff?

The Guggenheim some art to Italy has sent
Illicit when bought, they had more than a hint

To the original owner, stolen stuff should go
At least United States...

The missus unflagging crocheting efforts as Betsy Ross incarnate

With needle in hand incorporating love
in every single crochet stitch
that's my wife
tad more'n a quarter century ago
then newlywed to yours truly
slowly, magically but inexorably
transforming skein of yarn
into requested end product
of her tastefully done choice.

Eventual inchoate objective
will become...

Suddenly I feel at war with my Country,
Country of origin, land of my birth,
Fortunate senior, not long for the Earth.

Patriot lust to kill natives still lingers,
Mass racial prejudice never will end,
Does man exist I would want as a friend?

People I've known and loved all of...

The essence of being is illiterate at best
My swan has a place in society
I am the only one who can breathe
This is the way I see life
Every man and women comes to me in a dream
Expecting nothing I give them something
All who walk are to...

Alas, my sweet child you shan't!
Get used to an insane, world of can't!
Our brilliant brains are fully scrubbed,
As sniling and kids in a foaming bath.
Rub-y-dee, rub-y dee-dub.

We've been brain-spanked to
not ask any questions.
We don't dare question numbers!
Oh, no …..shush no!
Just be sure to have a...

We marched for peace again on Sunday…and from the very start….
Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup
our footsteps on the ground made the sound of a beating heart.
Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup

The march ended at a park…around a drum circle where…
Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup
we were reminded that a beating heart is something we all share.
Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup

It matters not the...

God’s message
Is like a whisper in your ear
We hear it
Yet we misunderstand

He gave me a view
Of our future not yet seen
He showed me peace
In another world

Heaven
Is that paradise
In which we will live 
For eternity

God’s message
Showed me an angel
Who spoke to the world
Of a new beginning

For...

are these bluebells from Scotland, England, Texas, Virginia or Spain?
I have seen a video, but am not sure, so try to expand my brain.
do they grow in hedgerows, grassland or at the edge of a wood?
they are lovely bluish-lavender hyacinths, I would say if I...
