Best Entered Poems
A Cow Entered Politics,
Retired as a Buffalo.
A Cow Entered Pakistan,
Ended up Cooked.
A Cow Entered America,
Her Visa Revoked.
A Cow Entered North Korea,
Kim Jong-un Drank all the Milk.

i am posting this in hopes that those who entered my contest with more than one line of poety will correct their line to read as only ONE line.
One of my examples was this:
Accepting, diligent, and alert, I am dedicated and almost always amiably deliver.
The idea was to create something similar to a monoku. Right now I have received only eight entries done correctly in the contest, so you have until the end of February to revise your one line if you entered my contest. I made a blog,but I fear not many people will see my blog. MAybe more people will see this now. The title I would give my line is simply A D.
I had given a second example, but i guess I confused a few poets who believed I wanted two poems from them.
Please test your lines by posting them to see if they come out as only one line. If it does, I will give your too-long line an HM. Those who do more than two lines will get N/A. I guess i am someone who makes my contests too particular? So sorry.
That really was not my intention. I don't know how much clearer I could have been with my instructions . Hope people see this. Tell your friends in case they do not read nor my blog. Happy Monday!!

Monoku
Deeply and fondly
I wanted to see
The truth of the matter is that it matters to me
I know life is precious
I cherrish it lots
But the truth of the matter is that I have forgot
How to live and enjoy it
to breath and not destroy it
I can't leave it or treat it
I know I mistreat it
but dear it
is simply
So wonderful
leave it
I lie here...
simply
I just die.
Youth is a waste on the young as they say
I am but a taste of the fun they say
I care for the words
I care for the choice
I care not for breathless nights
but I do recourse
I choose
I now am breathless
Romance is so deathless
I am so endless
Leave me to die here lying and moaning
I cry out so blissful
and join in your toning
droning sounds of your youth
I simply can not choose
I had no choice that made me
...made me lose
I was driving too fast
reckless souless my breath
My car swerved off road
and I was gone ...such a blast
It was a youth that was wasted on the young
but oh...how much fun
oh how much fun.

full of promise I gave my love,
responded with the flush of youth,
a need to give and to receive
gave my precious heart to you.
in return you gave me hope,
life and love I was entranced,
each day brought happiness in its grasp.
happy thoughts until that day,
each word still rings in my ears,
a light went out in my life...when you said
returning your heart ...no longer required
tears flow o'er my shattered hope
still in pain my heart beats on

It was last call, and all, he contemplated
Was should I stay here, or leave this old world
When out of the blue, a stranger he knew
Said Gary go home, to your little girl
Do I know you there mister, what's your name
Please go now, I don't want company
Hey barkeep can you please tell this man
It'd be best if He decided to leave
He turned to look again but there was no one
Gary you should go sleep in your car
I'm not sure who you've seen, it's just you and me
The night Jesus entered the bar
You can't get to Heaven from a barstool
Or find the Spirit, in the whiskey or rye
One soul was saved, one life was changed
The night Jesus entered the bar
At that moment in his life, he found meaning
How'd that stranger know who I am
Gone were the days, the war memories plagued
And he's no longer, stuck in Vietnam
To this day if asked, he will tell you
He saw a man, he can clearly describe
Somehow he knew he'd met Jesus
And he went cold turkey that night
The night that Jesus entered the bar
His soul found redemption, and so did his heart
It ain't often that a man, gets a new start
The night Jesus entered the bar
There's no place He won't go, to help save a lost soul
The night that Jesus entered the bar....

Lyric
Holding popcorn as Sue watched the show,
she could feel her date’s hand start to go
down her blouse. With a shout,
she cried, “Take your hand OUT.
There’s no popcorn down there, don’t you know??”

My heart was like a stone for many years
My thoughts were of me, little concern for others
A few words spoken in love broke apart that stone
A loving God entered my heart, never again to be alone

Rhyme
Tonight I closed my eyes entering a door where I'd never been
I turned, I looked over my shoulder, and through my eyes I've seen
I see a life of hurt, the despair of a darkened soul
Who's past just festers his silhouette, living to be his goal
When I closed the door behind me, a relief caressed, I breathed
If not for this door now entered, over my shoulder I would see me grieve

A team of doctors entered my house
each one with a syringe on his rear
not one was wearing doctor’s coat
the language they talked were strange
When they began their work by force
I told them I was healthy and strong
the leader shut my mouth with cloth
telling me I was unforgivable vector
They went on with their medical work
I could not figure out activities around me
where they took me was without consent
But I was somewhere among strange eyes
What I saw as syringes were not syringes
for my flesh was stamped with bruises
my eyes were big ripe tropical tomatoes
unfriendly arms chewed me as ritual beef
These doctors with issues in their bottoms
enjoyed parting me in turns to dis-infect me
Whether I was vector carrying fatal diseases
stars in heavens that witnessed has answer

Twilight has entered my life,
realizing that the aging process
is real and not to be shelved
and put away for someone else
to contemplate about.
Twilight has entered my life,
like the sun setting into obscurity,
a decline which is not obvious at first,
but gathers momentum until it rises
the next morning after dawn.
Twilight has entered my life,
accepting this as a process,
no choice in the matter only to
keep writing poetry and face the
words with a wrinkled smile.

you entered my mind, i can't make you go
even though you want me to, I know
you entered my heart
it's broken apart
you entered my soul and made it feel whole
you entered my world and made me feel alive
you exited, i hope i'll survive

You entered my silence like a violin bow dragged with blood through shattered stained glass
I sewed your laughter under my eyelids and lungs, and the light transformed into myriads of fragrant wounds
I coughed wild moon petals for weeks, my mouth full of the echo of your ever-burning footsteps
There is no cure for you, you are the high fever that shapes bones into transparent crystal bells
You are the imperial chandelier fallen right in the middle of the sonata, when the air still trembles with flame and glass
And I lean daily among the shards, gathering your syllables like phosphorescent fish above my heart
I taste them with fear, checking if they still smell of sound, if they still shake the rooftops of my orbit
Every morning I bandage my lungs with sheet music, hoping that silence will flow from me
But the silence breaks anew and your echo returns like a kite torn by a storm
So I clutch your broken glass in my fists, to make it sound like the violin again

Oblivion, Once Entered Makes No Sound
His soul walked streets of oblivion,
banshee wailing for merciful reprieve.
On broken altars, deep cracked pavilions,
pain laden, refused to properly grieve.
Years long past his bright stars had all fallen,
his love had somehow just melted away.
Some long nights he heard her lost love calling
and only then would he for his death pray!
Down graveyard street was his home awaiting
lone fallen tombstone his most cherished guest.
Midnight talks he and they start debating
which night he should force his eternal rest!
Now silent tombstones look on fresh turned ground.
Oblivion, once entered makes no sound.

She entered his dragon
She entered his dragon for passion
It's tail in full rapture to strike
His eyes spitting out fire
For her yields his commands
Buckling his fire
As she let screams
In mercy
of his
heat

More Horn Haiku
had been wearing broach
while horses did pull a coach
winter would approach
way we like to live
should always be positive
ourselves to God give
How is this for more of my
Horn Haiku. Just saw Pike
Place Market and Borchart
Gardens in commercials.
Write some poems about
Vancouver and Victoria.
would see Gloria
entering euphoria
while in Victoria
