Best Emulates Poems
A Love Letter To My Friends of IndiaWhen I think of India, I think of dark eyed beauties,
their foreheads painted with decorative red dots,
and I see them moving deliciously in beautiful bright costumes
as bangles dangle from their slender wrists.
When I think of India, I think of a culture steeped in history...

WeatheredDiminished by age, a weathered existence limps
Crutching dimmed vision and impaired limbs,
Much wiser that before, it speaks wisdom words
Entertaining grandkids in stories that enlighten,
Wishing the time to destiny would stop rushing
Reminiscing adoringly in yesteryears’ springs
As exuberance of yore in travails of life recedes,
Recalling seasons pristine,...

Of all fathers my son, you were the best!
Your son emulates you the best he can.
You taught him how to become a great man.

Coconut Scented DreamsLuxuriant black hair
Trails your naked body
Soothing all those places
Seared by my burning lips
Waves of silky curls
Cascade over you
Following the rise and fall
Flirting with your fingers
Inviting gentle tugs
Midnight strands curtain your face
As your body emulates
The motion of lips and tongue
A black waterfall of ecstasy

HopeDesire of the flesh
The need of closeness
Sensing the goodness
Of engulfing hope
That emulates there
Hope an ideal
Inspiration
Of mind and soul
Needing you near
The touch says
Here is love
Love brings hope
Give thanks
Kneel, pray

The Eagle In JesusBy Dawne Zacharias
This bird is admired for its grandeur,
its grace in flight,
Its size and magnificent power.
When in flight it stirs the
soul to true liberty.
He can use his mighty wings
to carry other eagles to safety.
Turbulence makes him stronger
he flies higher and faster.
The...

Great Majestic BallIt's the evening of the year
The great majestic ball.
I go along trembling with fear
No one will ask me to dance at all.
The lights are blazing above
The musicians strike up their chords
In the eyes of some, shows expectant love,
In others, time they can ill...

Distant ThoughtsWould You rather I be in church today
Or enjoying the enchantment of Your creation
Mesmerized, I inhale nature’s fragrance
Bible on my lap, open to Psalm 19:1
As the shy, golden Thrush
Emulates a chorister
Declaring the work of Your hands
His flutelike voice resonates
Bestowing music through the forest
Here...

A Flicker of HopeFloating in the sanctity of a tiny tranquil sea,
hidden from the world by only a fragile wall,
unaware of the uncertainty of their own mortal future.
Wide innocent eyes blinded by a bright light,
unable to see the evils and prejudices of mankind
and the society that emulates his...

BulliesWhat kind of sadistic delirium dwells in an
obtuse parent whose child emulates their
behavior in showing it is okay to bully other
children whose only egregious fault is shyness?
Bullied and tormented and teased to tears,
emotional scars that will last for years in...

Gold StarSometimes I sit and ponder
what it may be like
to have parents, not always
looking for a petty fight
the love you feel, always
being there for you
day o' night
I wake up fighting a
constant battle,
I feel like I am in a circus
having to jump through hoops
my parents hold

Fire Down Below - Haiku ContestSky is burning red
Looks like heaven is on fire….
Clouds like puffs of steam

As the red glow emulates
Through fiery trees
Nature at it’s best
Vibrant picture pains the eyes…
