Best Digests Poems


Premium Member Inseparable
She steals my sleep and invades my dreams; 
she cannot be silenced.
Goddess or devil, 
wise woman or ancient sage, 
no journey is complete without her companion ship.
No rest will come; 
no meal digests 
until her insatiable cravings are appeased,
She passes through the dreamcatcher, 
in a...

Metaphor of Fraud
Metaphor of fraud

 

In the road of loneliness I remake my morning prayers
Yellowed silence buries last memories

 
Autumn and curtain above my book are broken
Yearly rain writes an anonymous journal

 
There are no words between metaphors of tears
I bite darkness, fonts and white letter

 
Due...

Premium Member Love of Wisdom: Philosophy
Why isn't philosophy written most wisely
in poetic verses,
redundantly both-and 
analogical ecology?

Declassifying classic philosophic historians
continuing relentless great debate
about which is most important,
truth or beauty?

This same political philosophy pit 
drifted off a bit 
from scientific recovery
as economics shifted smart wealth 
away from intimate health.

When did love of...

Tribute To the Back Country Hut
There’s a billy on the open fire
Piles of beech wood by the door
Smokey stains adorn the iron roof
Wax drips on bench and floor.

Old cobwebs drape the windows
Dog-eared cards upon a shelf
The half a dozen Readers Digests
Will fill the evening by yourself.

Outside the rain is pouring...

On Two Old Characters At the Bus Stop
“Well now,
I’ve enough dirty knickers to be washin’,
That’s why I never got married”.

Now listen to them talk
For it’s hard not to.
He never got married 
or any of that other nonsense
That people bother with.
This friendly meeting at Stop No. 2-
Two warm bottoms nestled upon
The red bench...

Blink of An Eye
Blink of an eye,
Buddha –
Achieved a state of perfect enlightenment
But this success carried,
Years of persistent determination
To look beyond the failures.

Blink of an eye,
Sprinter –
Upshots a sensational Victory
But this winning carried,
Months of sustained spiritedness
To look beyond the loneliness.

Blink of an eye,
Carnivorous plant –
Digests the insects with...

Ice Cream Companions An Acrostic by James E Lee Sr.


Indefatigable brownies ingest eaten with chocolate cake.
Chewy candies treat nuts and cherries.
English toffees mixed in milk and cream boysenberries?

Crude digests absorb ate to fast brain freeze.
Red strawberries absorb flavor.
Edible earths erode moo cow liquids.
Adjacent frozen earths...

Premium Member Unchained
He stares into the lighthouse fire
an ant in the hole
Against his throat rests the wire
a life that his beloved stole
When suddenly the sparks' igniter
is pieces of a whole
Far from his ancestral shire
he digests the mole
Betrayal for something shining brighter
he takes time to patch his soul
She...

Do I Love Her
You say in the name of Allah, before you slaughter a calf, picture agony split -n- half, while the air inhales my pain, but somehow I still laugh, turtles see a different sight than a giraffe, picture an alligator biting a hippo in his ass,...

Writing Is Magic
Wings take flight
Right off the page
Flying toward the sky
As the words escape my mind.

Pen touches the crisp paper
Magic begins to glow
From the tip of my wand
Bringing thoughts to life.

Imagery imprints the mind
Visualizing words to picture
Transforming into a story
Becoming a part of the tale.

Each word written
Is...

One Thing I Know
Not the man who father me
For he lacks primary proof
He only digests what he was served
Mother has the knows it all
Woman fakes to outstrip any being
Fact surpasses chemistry of my existence

Not my mother too
Novice in which drop of sperm formed
Resemblance is not birth-proved
Intimacy does it...

Soldiers Thoughts
Soldiers Thoughts
(World War One)

Memory is our contribution to life
and sleep the eternal dream.
This voice of youth has one last breath
and we give it to you.

My comrade’s corpse will be forgotten
like the ash from generals cigar.
Our blood will pour to fill their ambitions,
So sweet is the...

Restlessness
I sit here and try to digress
To grapple on the hold of restlessness
Feelings of tyrannical fearlessness
Close your eyes and be helpless
Oh I throw my hands up to be rid of this mess
I roam and roam running from thoughts of sleeplessness
Twists and turns to untangle the...

A Literary Magazine
Magazines 
I used to read Readers Digest 
it was like the Fox channel
 before internet 
and we believed yet thought
 something was wrong, 
Israel was great in a sea of hatred
 and the magazine never said 
a thing about Palestine whose land
 was stolen. 
Arabs...
