Best Daunt Poems

A trip to a very large
and far away hospital. 
I was visiting a sick member
from church, there belittled

For a wet place I felt on my pants
I sat on a drenched seat
You bet I wasn't very composed
With coffee stains to greet

My husband had sat a cuppa
down...

A time of change awaits you, friend.
It crouches on your track.
It peeps its head round yonder bend
and knows you can’t go back.
And being time, itself it bides,
(albeit a time of change).
You cannot know how well it hides
and still be in your range!

Your path might be...

his kiss haunted her, howled at her, it edged through the crowd
just to daunt at her, this was a cold she had never known, blown
winds through creaky shutters, shuttered thoughts of fireside talks 
and walks, his lips able to do the impossible, possibly taking from...

For my days fall away
But I remember you 
I want to touch the memories
I just don’t know what to say
As my days fall away

I vaguely remember the chicken pox
Colored popcorn 
And my first grade made
Robotic cereal box
The hen and the fox

I remember wanting a fire...

Searching here and there, hither and thither not knowing when to stop
The road is long the path is narrow the hill so steep, is there a top?
Each twist and turn, a new obstacle, something else to overcome
But there is a way, a map for your...

Knock, Knock!
Who is it that goes there,
It is me; I am in your air,
And a deep root we share.

Knock, Knock!
What on Earth do you want?
It is me, the one they daunt.
But you and I have to jaunt.

Knock, Knock!
Would you just go far away?
It is me,...

Nine o’clock dark
Stage for shark swim
Deep arc stakeout

Sailors phishing
Not squaring news
Sparing no one

Once debutante 
Vessel vaunt sinks
For daunt of men

Dawns a new day
Silent gray-blue
Sea fray absconds...

If life will daunt my 
steps,I will crawl.If 
stones will stumble my 
knees,I will walk. If 
obstacles will cripple my 
feet,I will run. If lines 
will stop my legs,I will 
leap. If the ground will 
ground me,I will fly. If 
the sky will limit me,I...

As shadows play and dance away
   upon the walls within her mind,
         her thoughts portray of yesterday 
      and long lost dreams she left behind.

A candle's light glows in the...

I found a way to gracefully depart
for I could not respond to her request.
I held my breath and waited for my heart
to once again start beating in my chest.
And as I coaxed my senses to comply
and fumbled for the words I sought to say,
I found...

Carpe Diem you said 
And I ponder that line as I sit here in bed 
Seize the day; don’t stop ‘til you’re dead 
Don’t fight with your fists, but with your head.

Be the rebel they used to be 
Be the inspiration you want to see...

You walk at night,
No fear, no worry.
Darkness shows your might,
It's first glance I've to hurry.

You drink and smoke and chill and freak!
To my interests is none of those.
For texting a mate, I need to sneak,
Then for all the rest, once think of my woes!

How lucky...

The Northern wind to South did blow
and left a kiss upon my brow,
I least care for the other ones,
From where to where the Western runs.
 
Within the sailcloth’s native flight
down all the oceans could I write,
but good from it can’t come to me
as wonder I...

A true daughter,
Delightful.
A polished gem in the Good Master's crown.
Another soul of the Virtues demonstrates
Further the role of Faith in our Lord's realm
Of the here and now...
Singing so sweetly to our Jesus
Of all the love that she had long since found in Him.
Favored for her...

When dark, depressing moods consume the joys
     of living, we shrink from the world of men
and act like children with their gloomy toys;
     we recall a time when this has not been.
O Melancholy, how you daunt us...
