Best Donates Poems


Premium Member Our Peach

In a moment of magic I once gave her a juicy innocent peach

Not yet knowing that she harboured a sweet nascent dream

In which as a youngster she knew that she would marry the one

Who handed such a fleshy gift to the gypsy Queen of Fairy Land


Bestowed upon her by night’s prophesy she carried the vision of 

Requited love and blissful peace brought by subconscious longing

And spiritual clarity of a Higher Power submerged in compassion

A passionate fruit with soft skin and one huge seed of togetherness


		We eloped together into a new dawn


The doomsayers had a field day as they harvested bitter doubts

‘It will only last a couple of months and the peach will turn rotten’

‘You cannot feed on clairvoyant oracles and meek pagan beliefs’

‘They are deluded insane and caught up in misguided romance’


They called her a witch a seductress and labelled me irresponsible

With so much at stake painted pictures of broomsticks and failure

While we had found the jewel in a haystack without even searching

And set fire to the past as we danced naked around a fire of passion


		We knew the truth of intuitive feeling


One can never be sure what lies at the end of paths never taken

Whether road blocks and diversions belittle emotions and faith

But they who ignore heavenly signs forfeit adventure and truth

Stay stuck in spent time and hail its dubious comfort at their peril


We travelled and found a small hut on the beach out of sight

Collected starfish and driftwood and caressed wounded souls

Carved wedding bands out of sea shells and called upon dolphins

To witness our marriage surfing along happily ever since then


		A cormorant applauded the feast


Under a star studded canopy on the miraculous shore of belonging

We never strayed from what intuition and feelings offered for free

Meandered on the shoreline and set our sails into a magical ocean

Tasted the salt of a mindful earth and soothed our recovering minds


Never questioned the wisdom of our union shared by hungry souls

Treasure pleasure and joy weathered powerful storms and all tides

The cosmos donates all we ever need once we are willing to navigate

Waves and effervescence sparkling desire and in our case a peach


		Leading the universal way

Premium Member Who's Your Daddy

What makes a man a Daddy, let’s give that some thought.
Is it the seed that he donates or maybe some diapers that he bought?
Could it be a video game given, or the latest shiny phone?
Was it when he divorced your mother and left you all alone?

I can’t imagine that a real Daddy could ever abandon his kids.
Isn’t that something that being a good Christian forbids?
Imagine that your children wanted to serve to keep you free.
Would a Daddy kick them out?  Think of that family tree.

I believe a Daddy would be there invariably through thick or thin.
No matter what a book might tell him, he would never abandon his kin.
I would give my life for my kids; I would even forfeit my soul.
They will get all that I have, down to my last spoon and bowl.

My children are mine forever, that’s a promise set in stone.
They will forever be welcome, in my unconditional home.
As a Daddy, I’ll show them support, even when I think they’re wrong.
I will never make them feel, like they’re alone, and don’t belong.

Premium Member Might Never Makes Right

Violence in the political party


A pebble thrown to defend oneself from a barrage of 100- stones
The bully then complains of abuse—might never makes right 
will we unite?—I Am Anaya     “All for one and one for all”


Bullied everyday was he, his peer would tell the news agent
He was different, a loner, weird, wore camouflage
And so, we tormented him
A lunch bench, a boy sequestered was “bullied every day” 
Silent, defeated, sunken, he rarely spoke a word
Clean slate, passes a routine background check 
A dietary aid prepping food in a nursing home
Nothing unusual nothing remarkable
Republican at heart for God knows what gave way, donates
to the loyal opposition a progressive bent
A bit addled and mixed up, can we see?
Unleashing his wrath a man filled with hurt with hate
In his own backyard, the tormented dons the guise of the tormentor 
The assailed becomes the assailant 
The unthinkable is done, perched upon a roof
four-hundred feet away just minutes into the oration 
he aims then pulls the trigger
obscure and distressed Crooks alters history’s course
with a firearm at the ready as a duty and right 
Father Crooks kept many, in a very pro-gun town
At the hands of a 20-year-old man who was 
bullied by their own sons and daughters
Counselors, both father and mother
trained to help troubled minds, how ironic
Where were they as their son’s inner storm brewed?
A blind eye turned away what shame, what horror
Yet the world’s most salient story

Premium Member The Masked Singer

The Masked Singer is an entertainer on stage in masquerade
A baker by day; a singer by night with accolade

The Masked Singer dresses as a male and sometimes female 
He is a ***** but with many personalities of a strong male

The masked one bakes bread in the morning
Before dawn donates bread in an orphanage
That's what he does in bright days of living
Sings and dance in the evening passage

The masked male renders songs of praise
To God and to all of humane haste
Once he was awarded in the Hall of Craze
Disguising as a singing pauper on streets of blaze

It's a short-lived life narrated about the masked singer
Who died shortly after a sponsored-play with a ringer
A runaway train in the dark that ran over
His untenable body wringed and flattened headless
Yards away from the rail... a rolling head of the masked singer


"I dedicate this simple poem to a friend representing all other hardworking LGBTQs of the World who offer more than enough of themselves in saving other people's lives."

Premium Member Spawn Anti-Hero

 
his human name was Albert Francis Simmons
he was born in Detroit
his mom was a devil worshipper ... his dad was in sales
Albert was intelligent

he became a decorated Marine Officer
and joins the Secret Service
later, part of Central Intelligence Agency
the NSA, NSG and a skilled assassin

Albert was married to Wanda Blake for many years
very happy but with no children ... just a dog
and they accepted that 
however, their destiny would take a dark turn

on a secret mission Albert is murdered
he is set on fire and is burnt to death
and is sent to Hell
where he makes a deal with the Devil

he agrees to become the creature Hell Spawn
and returns to earth after five years
he wanders confused and haunted by flashbacks
his body covered in scars

he finds out that Wanda has remarried
his friend Terry, he visits their home in disguise
and becomes their protector
only because of Wanda ... who later gives birth to twins 

Spawn becomes a cruel, sadistic anti-hero
and has battles with Heaven, Hell, and  Earth
his suit is made of Necroplasm from the fires of Hell
and his massive flowing red cape ...  his protective wings

his huge right and left legs are heavily armored
a mask covers his burnt deformed face
he is a dark force with superhuman strength
immortal, skilled fighter, demonic, healer, mind controller

Spawn helps Terry when he is trouble with the CIA
he finds their daughter Cyan when she goes missing
he donates money anonymously to the hospital
where Wanda is creating a children's wing

he has battles on Earth, Heaven and Hell
those battles far to numerous to be retold here or
to list in this poem but they are many, many
oh, beware for Hell Spawn dwells here on earth

when God informs Spawn that Wanda is dead
and in Hell ... he goes back to Hell to save her
and her unborn child who are being held by Satan
their only chance is if he trades his protective suit

does he ?

his earthly grave is empty .. his wife terrified of him
for he is truly a dark spawn of the Devil
but, somewhere in his fragmented memories is love
for his wife Wanda

A Cogent Shot

The night was too tide
When I sticked with my last
So embraced with the maid
In the middle of the light

She is certain superb of the maids
The best choice ever did
That moons can't get z's
Holding the tilt in the land

Winds come to never tire her up
Love is meant to inspire her
Unaltered blinks at me so pop
A smile that creates proper

Wounds in thousands won't hurt
while the cure is set in her arms
Working inside the edges of a heart
So strengthened, trials finalize

The worlds know we're an ensemble
Retreating the light of the couples
All the seasons saw us enable
Fostered cares blowing in bubbles

Skies above and mods on the earth
Love betwixt like a pestle to hoe
Fly to dream the truth dead to know
Where it stands and can't bow

By it's ken that both understand
With it's mood that all will await
Leggers nod with an entire trend
But all led in the same cult

All is said and many will end
Time is a lead to all the hats
Idle slaves will bet a bend
Love itself will host feasts

Who was I love don't
Love owns not to lease
Frees a tongue to heart a hurt
Fights a light to tame the right

Sends beams to all the senses
Wars freeze and won't retake
All is won until it ceases
Before it reigns over the lake

It fears not the highs and lows
A rank dates a rame
By its sake a lion miaws
The world be owned in zero time

A night marries a day
The right tremtion killer
Angels a demon in a calm way
Awakens minds as a sigh healer

It wows when it settles
A king becomes the best cook
A wanderer donates the cattles
A vow vedges the vex

Love kills to love
You enter the gates abnormal
Throw the beliefs have
Gives power to rely on the real

Its not who you love and knows you
Its not where you are when she is there too
Its not who you are and what you do
Its who you love and who loves you.

You got shot digest fast
Behave as if life is only that
Dies when the shooter is absent
Down and up the heart is won.

Embracing Christmas Cheer

Embrace sweet kisses under mistletoe,
soon Santa will be riding on his sleigh.
Outside the children making men of snow, 
the fondest friendship matters most this day.  

This is the day when all shall laugh and love.
Forgiveness guaranteed, so let’s await
for Jesus to be sent from up above.
The angels coming shall destroy distrait.

If you believe in hope you shall be free
from all that brings misfortunate disdain. 
So take my hand and come and follow me,
arrive with joy and kindness shall remain.

Let’s comfort people needing drink and food-
so Christmas donates peaceful gratitude. 


I have always struggled with IP, but I tried my best.

Premium Member Thank You Pd

A Special Thank You To Irma Linda, aka Poet Destroyer or PD,
for her odd numbered donation to Samara's Medical Fund recently.
PD, my lovely, Are You Freaking Kidding Me?
You donated that odd number just to drive me crazy
with my odd number OCD thingy.
I'll just round off the total with my $5.00 donation made daily,
and I'll do the same with anyone and everyone who donates oddly,
but you already knew that, didn't you PD?
Geez, this crazy woman just loves to screw with me.
Seriously, once again, Thank You Sweetie.

God and the Caste

Temple – not an abode of God

Idol – only a piece made by man

To see his reflection in ruse of worship

The Powerful can see power

The Rich can see riches

Poor see poverty

The more one donates, the more he gets

The more one pleads and cries, Grief is all he gets

Rich can sit in front of the Lord

Others will queue in

The rest will scramble for the leftovers


 

 

Rich need the temples

To keep the poor content with poverty

Ain’t we a poor country of rich people?

Or are we a rich country of poor people!

Questions lay unanswered, Treasures lie hidden

The Hungry stay naked in open.

Some fast for glory, many die of hunger

This is the order of the day, dear folks

The powerful are the Brahmins

The rich are the Vaishyas

The middle class are the Kshatriyas

To defend or aspire for power or riches

The rest are the Shudras



                                               based on the Varna system in India and the new order
                                               ... Suresh M Iyer

Tenant Fourteen

Enter apartment, ready to paint 
Open the door and empty it ain't 
Apartment not empty or unoccupied 
Furniture everywhere someone has lied 

Previous day, nineteen ninety five 
Parked rented truck ready to drive 
One single woman packing in haste 
Filled to the top no room to waste 

Unable to paint let one week pass 
Return to the job no sign of the lass 
Full of furniture time has stood still 
Come back next week right now just chill 

This is week two job is in doubt 
Landlord orders furniture out 
Donates items to new family in wait 
Family from Haiti in need of the freight 

Now it's all empty jobs good to go 
Where is the lass no one does know 
Prepare for the plaster and ready to paint 
Soft knock on a door interruption was faint 

Open the door elder man does request 
All of the furniture now he is stressed 
Landlord explains this tenant has fled 
Weeks have passed no word was said 

Father of daughter explains in strife 
Daughter no longer has taken her life 
Behind was left a husband, two sons 
Heavy the burden weight in the tons 

While loading the van can anyone know? 
That she was thinking which way to go 
Confusing the conflict inside her mind 
All of them mingled and intertwined 

Continue to paint apartment fourteen 
Woman who left this worldly scene 
Pondering heavy could words have been said 
If they were? would be here instead? 

Who's to know the outcome for sure 
Only one fact she could not endure 
Thoughts of her family are on my mind 
Find the time show goodwill be kind

In this materialistic era
Poeple are praised who donates
Some donating plot & land

Strangely Satisfied

retired beautician
arms, elbow deep in shampoo
volunteers daily at the local elder care

residents line up
three doorways deep
down the hall
waiting their turn
at free furbish

she donates time and energy
knowing that she may be
the only outsider
they've seen or heard all week

she chooses her words with caution
none flow slipshod off her tongue
she goes home, strangely satisfied

Refining Consciousness
Unseeking Seeker

a refining of the attribute of poor self-esteem
on the part of the residents as well as the beautician

Premium Member Time Machine

If I used to own gold and dimes,
If Bill Gates donates his wealth in mine,
I will create a time machine,
where I can return the times;

The time when every thing is plain and new,
When no substitute for me and you.
A time when love is pure and true,
When the world's celebration  never due.

I will travel the land where life had started,
where Adan and Eve haven't eaten the fruit of death yet.
Then I'll dance with the lions,panther and snake in the field,
I will wipe away the hunger and thirst.

I'll go back the time when Cleopatra is divine,
When Madonna and Gaga's spark subsides.
Where beauty is hemmed naturally,
And glasses aren't broken, painted perfectly.

And I will close my eyes,
take the last breath I can take.
Then I will drown myself in the dark,
to search the light shines the brightest.

Word For Today: Pool

WORD FOR TODAY: POOL

Some firms have a policy that ‘donates’ laggards to the POOL
Affected staffers are given the chance to thrive or be a FOOL
Some redeployed staff went to a new unit; became the TOOL 
Others cried witch-hunting; lacked strength; soft like WOOL
Workplace rewards performers; no mercy even if you DROOL
To thrive amidst sharks; under pressure, just keep your COOL

Premium Member Advice To Young Poets

It never is an easy ride
And I don't mean to deride, 
But your imaginative sense, 
Far exceeds experience.

Of course you must learn how to fight, 
Gird your pen for unmanned flight, 
By never making yourself wrong, 
Though your youth sullies the song.

Youth's insights are sometimes shallow, 
Tend fields that should stay fallow, 
But plant your grain and pray for rain, 
Do not exaggerate pain.

Remaining true to you today, 
Welcome muse, chips fall as may, 
Though muse may always be your guide, 
Color's just yours to decide.

A skeleton the muse gives you! 
Living poems come to view, 
With flesh, with heart poet donates, 
No life served on silver plates.
 
For poem's sake share what is true, 
Then you'll know what's next for you, 
Your history's all you need know 
To preserve the poem's flow. 

A clever title serves your need, 
(And reluctant muse can feed)         
Often gets the juices flowing
When no sure path is showing.

A dream can sometimes give release
To deep feelings seeking peace, 
When you're at war help you discern
Moves to make the battle turn. 

Try to stay close to what you love, 
Don't waste time on what's above.
Know it's just you that you're selling, 
Make peace with fears you're quelling.

And no, not once forgo the chance
With living poems to dance
With humble, breathless savoir-faire, 
Please escort her from her chair.
