Best Cue Poems

If I’d picked up a snooker cue, when I picked up a pen;
and then gone on to build a break of eight or nine or ten.

If I had only listened more to those who understand;
who told me not to play the game by using just...

To be recogonised...
Doesn't mean you are the best
...Now it should be clear. 

For you yet to win..
Mustn't stop you from dreaming
...belief in yourself....

A surprise anniversary gift,
Caused giggles, which gave me such a lift,
If I was a nun,
I sure could have fun,
A cucumber .. if you get my drift!

My lovely friend Chris gave me a bag with some chocolates and a card and carefully wrapped in white tissue...

A dark. unfathomed emptiness 
swirls and coalesces 
on the stage of my desire,
demanding nothing sired of need
or advocate, and of itself complete.

Yet I may own the unexpected certainty  
and find that it is known
without a thought,
through just shy glances
as one moves inside the self.

It...

Look up to the sky
take a look at the boldness of the sun
behold the brightness of the stars
they hold no grudges
they come, they shine
for you, for me:
caucasian, black or orientals

Look up at the sky
See the beauty of the moon
it illuminates prison as well palace
they no...

Cue To Persevere
I recognized you today,
As little girl waved at me
From behind a glass pane
As she passed by
Her sister waved at me too.

I saw you in the moon,
With its silvery glow tonight.

Your power is majestic.
You gaiety of spirit was
Brimming with as much joy
As wine would...

I never dreamt
Mathematics once a terror
I’ve ever learnt
From my life would delete a major error

As I struggled to make sense
Out of the labyrinth
Mathematics built from the nonsense
The terror in silly stealth

Conveyed in minds
That by dint of patience and perseverance
Gleaned from underneath concepts, processes and procedure...

Just noticed for the very first time
My hair line is definitely receding
My crowning glory, my silvery dome
My time here is short I'm conceding

If I ever wind up as Mr. Cue Ball Man
It'll be time to close up shop
Basically it'll be over, over and done
No incentive...

This is my favourite time of day,

Morning, as day starts anew.

The darkness turns to lighter grey

Which soon dispels to brilliant blue.

Birds start singing, as if on cue....

On cue
God his purpose is elusive
What is actually his role?
In our lives and in our planning
What good is worship as a whole?
Don’t we long for independence?
Why would this start up a fuss?
Why should we give God the power
To decide what’s right for us?
We don’t want...

The pool shark was right on cue
When hitting the eight ball he knew
It was right corner pocket
Bounced like a rocket
Around and around, then it flew...

The journey home seemed endless
People were still smiling
I wondered how and why

My broken heart
Was seeping out of me
Such was the pain I couldn't cry

I occupied myself
To numb out the first few hours
Somehow waiting for my cue

I cleaned the house
Until my hands bled
And bruised black and...

There we sat, a sunny afternoon
The barbie lit, not quite enough flame
Her father fans it, wife tries to explain
Happy families. Two language game
I’ve nothing in common, forgotten their name.

I let myself go, release my sarcastic mood
We’re all inane smiles personified polite
He’s waving at the barbie...

NOT FOR CONTEST

He took me to breakfast then suggested a movie -
he had a roomy, would watching at my place suit me?
Our first date, I wasn't feeling him, but then, okay,
maybe we'd become friends and good company.
When we arrived, I set the movie, he sat...

The Pool Shark

Double or nothing
I go for the gold.
I meet with the devil
and sell him my soul.

Content with the knowledge
I will win it all.
I let him guide me
to the pool hall table.

Dressed in my white suit
with Panama hat.
I stand with my cue
and watch my sucker...
