Best Easing Poems
Lifting winds cut through the trees
Scouring all of coppered leaves,
Now swirling in the autumn sky,
To flutter down, like butterflies.
Winter now, she bides her time
For soon enough her clock will chime.
She'll open wide her icy hand,
And cast her spell across the land.
In the trees, will squirrels doze.
While creatures snuggle beneath hedgerows,
To quietly wait out winters hold,
In dreys and nests, safe from the cold.
The land around, now dormant, freezing.
It too will sleep, till winter's easing.
Blue colored pansies
planted with the yellow ones
Soft fragile petals
spread color in the garden
In vision, easing the mind

anxious
substernal pain
a reassuring voice
Paramedic skill, care, finesse
relief
Dedicated to Ontario’s first Paramedic (1985)
who you want at your side if you’re sick,
always at mine, my husband, James Ramage

“A Short Poem, Please”
Placement: Third
adrift the rift of dawn and dusk,
i lather in what made me unclean-
i softly whisper to one silent star…
“may you ease me from afar”
a dalliance of hope feeds me-
my intellect tender,
heart coarse;
always hungry for what drains me,
clinging onto what already let me go-
(so very long ago)
breathless and bare i stare at life,
for it has been kind yet given pain-
ethereal wings soar and demons seek me
in distant nightmares in vain
i awake
LIFELESS
unaware of who i was and why
i wanted to be someone else
alone and forsaken
with no chances taken
an aria of resounding mercy
cries in the sky,
i am left not ceasing moments,
only left behind to suffer
in a brooding elixir of why
and how-
o, the lengths where I went to try
sacrificing my kind heart
for transgressions,
falling apart and resenting
fear from the start-
life-long expressions of
hope and impressions
so, i softly whisper to one silent star…
“may you ease me from afar”

When stress begins to take control
and you're at your wits end
Just take some time to ease your mind,
Relax a while, you'll start to mend
Some turn to drugs and alcohol to ease the stress
But that only makes it worse
You'll only end up with hangovers
and always wanting more
A thick fog wraps it tenacles
Encapsulating all
Visibility limited
Floats summer into fall
As the autumn sun rises high
Its warmth dries and heats
But less warmth and humidity
With earlier nightfalls
The crickets early this morning
Serenaded the moon
Knowing soon their last love song sung
Will be crooned in quick tune
Doves still sing romantic love songs
At just the crack of dawn
Soon their mournful sounds will quiet
They'll rest all winter long
Summer's end brings some sadness now
Winter's cold, frost, and rain
Long cold nights to remember you
When in great strength did reign

There once was an accountant named Laverne
Her clients' loyalty she'd always earn --
She never talked tax
She gave them Ex-lax --
Made it so 'easy' to file their return
Female
Remembering you still here
Pulling off my boots
Like you used to
Smiling at your memory
Blonde wild streaming hair
Piercing blue lovely eyes
Looking down at me
From stallion lofty perch
You were my hero
So strong yet delicate
Holding me so tight
Thought you'd never go
Least not before me
Still knowing you're waiting
Never lost my wonder
Eternity met with you

"A poem to me is the essence of any thought,
Being built from its foundation into tower scraping sky.
It can fly like no other bird to places never seen,
Even spaceships can only dream of taking its place."

One day as a child,
I saw a dog struggling
to rise on its two feet;
it had been hit by a vehicle
on the road.
My eyes, in the midst of tears,
I prayed to God,
asking him to ease the dog's pain away;
its howling was breaking me apart in the inside.
I prayed hard that He would send an angel
to carry it away home, where pain would be no more....
When swift wind is blowing
and birds free breeze the dale
my hopeless heart is lightened
gone the gloomy gale.
When sweet child is playing
and laughs full loud with glee
my mirthless mind is gladdened
gone the sorrowed sea.
When mauve moon is rising
and stars shine through the night
my shadowed soul is brightened
gone the bleary blight.

From the blue the intense downpours
pull off impurities of floors.
Burst into tears eases the hearts
and confronts upsets of all sorts.
