Best Ended Poems

I was but a boy
You seemed almost a toy,
So young, and in love,
We fit just like a glove

You said, "All I can offer you,
Is a love that time can not destroy"
Oh boy!, Oh boy!!
It filled me full of joy.

Nineteen was I
Sixteen you were,
Living in our...

I met with some bankers in fine textured suits.
I struck a deal quick. (I had such a knack.)
I offered rare cacti and tropical fruits – 
a cure-all for things that ail your back.

I served 'em a dish of oysters and clams
flavored with herbs from high...

The Little Girl's Garden

  A finagle of young fairies with colors red, green, yellow, indigo, white and orange with glittering wings are playing in a garden very close to an old house door.  

  Two hours later, they saw a little girl...

6:23 PM
Clock ticks ticks ticking 
Hunched back and sprawled all over
I get this feeling
Fingers taps taps clicking
Pen taps in repetition 
I hate this feeling
I stared at the calendar
And scorned at the squeaking birds outside
As well as the date presented
Circled in bold red 
With the words
"Time's...

Slam poetry evening 
Offended 
Leave now
In fact why have you come
If this is not for you
Or do you 2 wish to slam
And are here looking for a muse
To abuse or accuse 
To ignite your fuse
Try walking in other's shoes
So contrite 
I write what bite's 
I...

A young robin my cat once befriended
          Till one day the relationship ended
                  I came home to find

~~~ Songs My Soul Cried Ended the Psalms of Songs ~~~

Grace was inside my soul, I’d love his grace
Please my grace travel the world, find peace please
Face of darkness of the deep grace did face
Knees freeze and their prayers had no bowed knees

Risks ensnared the...

It Ended With A  Kiss
Marie, an oldie who'd never been kissed
Longed for the feeling of kissing on lips
One day she went selling kisses for free
Men were put off for Marie was gummy
She'd lost her teeth guzzling too many sweets
Then had regretted indulging in treats.

Suddenly...

NEVERTHELESS IT ALL ENDED IN 19 And 64
By Roy Merritt

(When reading it use a Cockney accent and the h is silent)

Oh alas poor Jimmy Bond 'e didn't go past sixty four
Cause you know 'is creator that's the year 'e went out the door
Yes indeed Ian...

Please give us a topic, at least just a clue
I have no direction, don't know what to do
Do I scribe what I know, or write from the heart?
Or do I quote Shakespeare and try to sound smart?
A ballad, a sonnet, a three line haiku?
Or try...

The day whose hours only a dream ago ended,
Was a test to the grave some men commended,
For seizing any opportunity to push and trip,
Is what men do when they want you off their ship.
The grave is a temptation for sure, but to endure
By moving on,...

A beautiful human being, 
Lost her life, and no one seems to know why
If only her silence could be broken, If only her
Soul would wander around and deliver the untold
The story no one could tell,

The truth about what happened, Someday will be revealed
Classification and separation,...

She always talked
like a happy little bird
tried to fit the mold

Wasn't strong enough
to keep up the facade
it is what ended her life

Early


I mostly think outside the square
I don't fit the mold
I can't be told

I'm older but


To some doing church
is like playing a game
so others think...

*

the

star's gone

from the top

of the Christmas

tree, the lights down too  

tinsel packed securely

will winter bring on the blues

remember the joy of the gifts

the delight in each of the children's eyes

so, the tree must be packed up this cold day

memories stored away, a few snapshots,...

i shall never be able to forget our affection
was deep as first love, and wild as all regret-
crimson and medallion encompass my soul;
‘neath the autumn moon i still etch your silhouette

sincerity arrived and remorse soon followed,
for i needed compassion, someone to console-
i put away my...
