Best Deters Poems

Springtime on the ranch is just round the bend
You’ll get your nose cleared, we have cows and pigs
The thaw brings forth chores, that smell and offend
Rubber boots and gloves are now our new digs

As the snow melts, we are left with a moat
Springtime is here...

Bees are buzzing in their hives
A pony tail swish, deters the flies
Long grass waves, majestic in the wind
And over the pond the dragonflies skim
This halcyon place you love to be
Brings peace and joy eternally....

Life is full of distractions
that can get us off track
We tend to lose our focus
on what really matters most
Tunnel vision often deters us
from our destiny making it
hard for us to see
Something magnificent awaits
us if we keep our eyes on the
prize 
Never...

In the Congolese Jungle three men are training for a mission.
They train to detain and disarm poachers.
They hope this will be the conclusion of their efforts.
They also train for a formidable alternative.
Poachers are opportunistic and have only self interest.
Poaching of an entire species will break...

There are many days I miss her,
A powerful and unique lady,
What truly deters,
Is why he married again.

I remember back when,
She always wanted to hear my voice.
I was too shy and nervous to begin,
Soon I had the courage but I lost my choice.

She never got to...

Voyagers, convene thyselves to return, among us...
Caesura, crown nigh clod, a sylph unwept,
elision thy silhouette, meno thy minuet...
Thine late occurence on thee, wake of cerise sand

Thou belief, like a billow, upon your whitish cheek,
'Twas marina bay, her twaddle a garb of mer,
A henchman docks, thy...

Up above they shine,
Obliterating darkness by their light-
Ye-king and the jewel.
The warrior and his battle- axe;
Each to other a better half-
Two peas in a pod – 
Monumental monolith.

Worthy to sing for the bobby-dazzler:
Scapula that breaks the bow-wow’s jaw,
Oak that blunts sawyer’s axe,
Crocodile that changes waves...

Faith of a child is great in God’s sight
Since it reveals sincere trust in its purest height
Showcasing genuine reliance to the Sovereign’s might
Devoid of doubt and unbelief along uncertainty-blight.

Child-like faith was exemplified by virtuous Bible characters
Who in their young age could be considered as heroic...

Greater Consciousness - For Contest

A bird at its will, soaring high in the sky
Symbolic of liberty for the worldly we
But actual spirituality throws different light
It crosses all frontiers of worldly delight!
The aroma, the taste, the bliss of spiritual value
Migrate beyond streaks that our senses can...

Now where does one start to write
To find the courage he has to pluck
And write a poem for a contest
It's all about things that suck

Out there, there are so many places
Where this word can always be used
There are octopuses in our seas
And their suckers are...

In a twinkling gaze, when all is said and due
In repertoire of wealth, your lack diminish but rue
Stepping into the new horizon, negativity is set to crunch
Praying for the very next sparkle, the sparkles of hint and clue.

It might not seem well a gaze to...

Slinking in the darkness
Out the corner of my eye
Shadows dark as pitch
Move with stealth sly.

Formless wraiths, haunting spirits
Hovering near my bed
Nothing they say, silent ghosts
And yet, I feel no dread.

They glare at me with hatred
Their silhouettes drift and change
Contrasting shadows with black intent
I watch, calm,...

For Your work, my God, that calls for my best sacrifice
I present myself by Your mercy every time I arise
Overcoming idleness of futile exercise.
In fulfilling my tasks with Your guidance, surely wise...
Here am I, Lord.

For Your work, my Master, that demands my full responsibility
I submit...

It's too early for me to write poetry,
(You can write for yourself, maybe)
I've just woken up,
got to do regular duties,
then I'll think of thinking to write 
about writing...or write about thinking poetry,
let not my thoughts hinder your words now, 
afterwards, I might find time to...
