Best Earned Poems

You stand on "Wounded Thunder's” hallowed ground.

                He boomed such boastful tales  that fearless chief!

Mr. Franklin "coined" that old saw, "A penny saved is a penny earned!"
I mused upon that fabled adage and for the olden days I yearned.
Then, a penny was worth a cent, but, alas, it ain't no more.
Ah! The myriad of things a penny could buy...

Do We Celebrate Ancient Red Rose's Well Earned Death

No great fire, yet get the water hose
decayed words fall in ancient settled dust.
As they break under weight of new age prose
in modern shone light are we now to trust?

No riper fruit to be sweetly savored
classic poetry...

The beginning of my thanks begins at knees,
Having my aches eased, or body suffused,
All that comes to mind is sleep and serene.
Nobody that offers bread can empty,
Knives may cut meat and find platter greasy,
Supper ended, dishes done, there’s always cheer.
Give one for the road, one...

Just to give a prologue for this poem. I have an officemate who seems to love making a big fuss out of something so small. She's always in a high-pitched voice whenever her command was not being obeyed properly. She would shame you in front...

TWO WEEKS GONE BY,

AND WE EARNED ANOTHER PAYCHECK.

NOT MUCH TO SAY,

WITH TONS OF BILLS TO PAY.

WHAT DO WE SAY WITH SO MUCH TO PAY?

YET WITH EVERY LITTLE DAY,

WE FIND OURSELVES WITH TIRED EYES,

AND A WEARY SOUL.


LET US RENEW OUR LIVES,

AND BRING NEW PURPOSE TO EACH...

I went for a morning stroll 
There were also other walkers in the park
who came for walk for a better health control
Little earlier the Sun had drove away the dark

Glittering was the early morning Sunlight
Taking sunbath in a corner was a cat
I too was walking...

Earned wealth
is no secret
when is revealed with truth,
without making a huge profit
from luck!...

No man's too small to hoist a helping hand,
Nor any a deed too small if well-meant,
Nor a task too tough for a noble end,
Mind can if means can't make a mighty dent.

A journey of a daunting task off shore
Begins with but a single step forward,
‘Drop...

A stammer has been mine all my days
in recent months therapy again did take
but fear ruled through many a situation
what's to do? zero as it couldn't even shake

Many branches of Costa coffee shops
but always busy queued up made me fear
my tongue would block not able...

days have now turned into years
there are a few grey hairs
i notice a wrinkle here and there
pain is felt in places that i never had before
i guess that is what comes with getting older
however....our love grows younger everyday
it keeps me spritely i reckon
it is never...

I shall begin 
   where belated endings start,

      in sun-bleached bones 
         of late lessons hardly learned.


         And I shall end

I am thankful to the universe for it's love and support
I will harness your endless supply of energy 
And destroy the destroyers of worlds
I never forgot dear fog what my enemies said when they trampled on me
Isn't it nice the way things never end where...

According to Sigmund Keeple
Bad things happen to good people
The Karma rule
Whacks the cruel

The expectation of respect spans far and wide.
Is it earned today; NO….it’s all about pride.
Some young people exploit it; most expect it due in return.
Causing chaotic havoc with little regard to bridges burned.

Respect is:
A consideration, esteem of another that you know or meet.
Respect comes from...
