Best Direly Poems

red rooftops appear to glow in rainy-day haze
lost in memories of pre-war bliss
     she looks up to watch them bleed

pain is its own reward sometimes
better than the numbness 
     she so desperately seeks to leave behind

tiny poodle...

(ALLITERATION)
Cows milked: mitigated mooing in the meadows then
Weaving on the warp, some workaholic women

Harvest of hapless halibuts on hooks
Bookish book-worms buried in books

A palomino and a pony patter on the paving
Hucksters and hawkers hawking every housing.

Ravers out on the razzle raising a raucous razz-ma-tazz
Beavers busy...

One step I go back, and
I see you holding my hands...
With a smile, walking down the lanes.
Yesterday I acquainted me in you
When your hands grabbed mine in your fears
With such reliance, allaying down the pains.
And Today when I stood still
I saw myself lost in despair
When...

We were free and safe
Facing the challenges of life
In much more desirable manner
We were at least happy
For the peace we were enjoying
On our land of birth; our homeland
We never anticipated this at all
That war would tear us apart
And leave us miserable this way
We witnessed so...

DO NOT FORGET

Your wired mind larger than Arabia
like a continent shrouded with beauty and rage,
I imagine you recalling the gush from Indian winds
the taste salted by curry fragrance
as  your mouth drolls two languages,
till lashes of day forget night’s kiss...

Oh, but do not forget how...

This canopy has choked out the light 
making the forest of life redundantly obscure.
a coffin for my home; where trees form walls, 
confining me to this empty space.
Night comes with it sighs of painful, 
sorrow - filtering through vegetation. 
Shadows breed coyotes out of darkness,...

Could you more faithfully believe?

Your enemies 
probably do not sacrifice their first born children
right before they eat them

And they do not worship
big 
predative Jewish
and terrorizing Muslim
ruthlessly bought and sold
international pagan colonizing corporations.

Could we believe
in cooperative co-investment?

Do we only share bad-humored despair?

That healthy collaborative democracy
and polyculturally...

Some day when I will lose my imagination
I will ask my PC to write a poem for me
It will write a sonnet on the rising red sun
That will paint my blank mind with dream.

Some day when I will lose my music
I will ask my PC...

BEYOND THE SNOWS OF WINTER

You go on ahead, my son,
I’ll catch up with you when the snow reaches the end of winter
You have your life to live and worlds to explore 
Where you are headed I won’t be going

Maybe I will be there in spirit...

I believe my mirror is not truthful
Because it says " i m not beautiful"

Really do wonder , what beauty actually is ?
Leaves no word in throat when i realized the bitter truth

I m not like other town girls
Colorful ribbons,blonde hair open in the air,
long aprons?...

Summer Storms

Summer brings floods of feelings to surface
An impressive time period done shown
Having light shine down completely around
Very warm with everything fully grown

There’s one piece of the season that shows dark
Summer rains, warmly falling on the ground
However warm, storms are greatly enforced
Nothing seems as dark,...

Permission From Poetry Soup

What we were trying to do was work out
Quirks of game and players not leaving any out
Of site or be left with too many bills outstanding
Lose site of a lead which was always commanding.

Are you infuriated and outrageous not to own
Opportunities that...

Mud thickens direly as I sink in shame, 
Eternal devastations stride in liberty, 
Wearied by the gloom of difficulty, 
I sigh, but hope pensively in your frame:
You are my love, my dignity and aim; 
In our speech my tethers do quantify, 
Until reason transcends to...

As a child I was walking home from school one day;
It was a rainy spray;
A direly day;
We have gotten our report cards;
As kids we were running home;
In and out up and down;
Crossing the streets;
At the corners peak;
Running hard and fast;
Trying not to get wet;
Out of...
