Best Encounter Poems

I'd finished work at ten PM and got in my car
It was dark as I drove home and in the sky noticed a star
Could be a planet I thought, as I drove along the forest road
It seemed to get closer and I noticed my car...

Poe laid flowers on her grave
    His lost Lenore
    One he’d love forevermore 
    But doomed to see her nevermore

Storm clouds expelled true daylight
     Yet near her grave on a dead oak...

brief encounter

a man invisible
but for his wit
landed on my world 
lightly it seemed 
until he left...

A warm smile of hello in the sanctuary of poets
The name is Arden G.; here to express not to impress
If I coud do an eye-contact and a firm handshake in the virtual land of PoetrySoup
Would be a dream come true to meet great poets called,...

One night about 25 years ago
I was sat in my car at Cothelstone
Dx-ing on my CB radio in the wee hours
when my two dogs started to growl
every hair on their bodies on end
a most putrid smell entered my car
I heard the sound of hoofs churning
knowing...

A Chance Encounter

A chance encounter on the net
I celebrate the day we met
I made you smile, you made me cry
You made me laugh, I made you sigh
You made me proud to be your friend
But life is short, time can't be bought
It weaves a path, through...

A field trip to the new History Museum sounded like fun.
We boarded the bus as soon as the school day had begun.
I was excited, thinking seeing dinosaurs would be as cool
as Jurassic Park movies where the scary T Rex held rule.

I wandered off after eating...

Walking down the avenue working on some things that are
on my mind, starting to wonder if I'm just wasting my 
time. Feeling pretty lonely not sure what to do, when I 
spotted this lovely Lady just coming into view. She was 
different than anyone that...

...inspired by 'The Meaning Of Life' by Allen Tate


Breezes blow, the lark sings sweet,
there's magic in the air, 
yet a sense of something rumbling.
On the surface we are carefree, 
yet beyond there's someone mumbling.
The sacraments we live by are
a solace to our souls and humbling,
yet...

Oops!
I slipped over,
At my door step,
Was it intentional?
Less I presume it was just a mere incident,
That almost resulted to an accident,


Walking in the street,
I meet with influential potential humans,
Wearing shirt sleeves...
Guess,
Its a formal dress code,
To achieving your dreams in the city,


Walking in the street of...

I went for a swim early one summer morning in the ocean
The waves were rough, crashing with powerful motion
As I dove into the waves, I lost my balance and hit my head
I choked on salt water, couldn’t catch my breath as I bled

I struggled with...

I saw him before I saw her…(I believe she was holding the door.)
There was a far away look in his eyes as he shuffled his feet on the floor.

I felt a twinge of sorrow for him as he slowly labored past
Each step seemed so difficult…more...

An occasional chance encounter
With a stranger on the street 
Can change life like a tidal wave
And lift us off our feet.
The mystery of wakefulness
Like the dance of rolling dice,
Is filled with rhythm, love and hate
Virtue, darkness, light. 
Bending ‘round from sky to ground,
Heaven, hell and...

In the midst of a wet night,
Discovered myself upon a viaduct.
Straggled or vagrant, uncertain.
Not petrified by the dark, rumbling sky,
Amazed to find the place familiar.

I perceived the faintest advancing steps,
On turning back, delighted with her presence.
The cold, shivering breeze, 
Waved her black long hair.
I insisted...
