Best Entirety Poems
Even When The Entirety Fails The Wanted Sum
I stand aghast at how fast these verses oft come
Even when the entirety fails the wanted sum
Upon low hills, I seek much higher mountain tops
Rejoice, in blessings of poetry's bumper crops
Treasures newborn by desires, searching souls and heart
Oft joining mankind and Heaven so far apart.
I stand aghast at how fast these verses oft come
Even when the entirety fails the wanted sum
I cast my ink and the paper begs for much more
As old pen scribbles, broken heart weeps as before
Careful to avoid sad-tears wetting filling pages
Reminding spirit, poets are brothers to sages
Born to gift and share Life's sweet blessings in black ink
With knowledge that human life is too oft a blink.
I stand aghast at how fast these verses oft come
Even when the entirety fails the wanted sum
I wake to dawn's voice, commanding compose more words
We are more than just beasts roaming in raging herds
From Life, we may find inspiration and pure Love
Such may come, even if its not sought from above
Hold this wisdom, this truth that promises much more
All true-seeking may find joy of paradise shores.
I stand aghast at how fast these verses oft come
Even when the entirety fails the wanted sum

Rhyme, ( What The Wise Old Owl Once Told Me )
Old Note ( 1975): This week Life beat on me with abandon.
I lost my best friend and death also thrust its
wicked blade at me. Yet my soul will defy its
joining with Fate's blackened hand and wicked glee.
New Note (2019): Now going on record, oft defiance is
the true measure of a man. And in its journey
we may rise to greater heights and see Fate
and Death both temporarily thwarted. Yet such
is always a temporary measure. Death may come
in a blink of any eye or upon a gnat's whisper
in the blacken host of eternally raging winds.....

As far as I can see
Mindlessly
Been battling with sobriety
Extreme weather advisories
Over land or by the seas
Many multi-floored wineries
Producing product of the same or different varieties
Animals and humans living within or outside of societies
Where things may happen fairly or unjustifiably
World renowned notoriety
Obtained solo or through a dynasty
In all entirety
A world full of opportunity and vibrancy
All though there is irony
Happening loudly or quietly
Individuals and groups continuing to act defiantly
Showing their own true colors, undeniably
Never did I have much piety
Because it was religious, and something I always looked at undesirably
Is the cycle entirely
Spirally?
Or finitely?
Still to this day occurs piracy
And illegal sales of guns, drugs and objects like ivory
Corruption and briberies
Events carried out publicly or silently
Something well known, now viewed unrecognizably
And indefinably
By: Dalton Ogletree
"As the thunder rolls away above and beyond the-
hills there over yonder with the fish jumping now
black crows above me heckling, cows bellowing moo,
geese cackling too ... frogs appearing by the dozen's
hopping around looking at me rather curiously
as to say " Look out for them apples." jumping
into the stream showing their joyous bottoms
off to me before they hop in the waters ribbit,
ribbit, ribbit-thunk splashing. So with all of
this, you could say I'm feeling rather
humbled just like Newton I would
assume. All giddy and-enlightened
and evermore heartened I'm sure
and a little dizzy yet as he would
be too, still I would presume.
Running head on with this
proposal."
"That with God, given the gravity-
of it being whatever the situation or-
circumstance, whether with my eyes-
opened or be it them fully closed. Still,
with my patient Friend I'm learning,
though I seem to be having a real hard
hard time at it myself, being rather-
stubborn at the moment, but as I-
know it is well with Him... as-
He is always open to-
me and my prayers,
I am aware as I
know my fate,
with-Him, is-
secured."

UNFADABLE ENTIRETY:
When storm roars and thunder strikes,
My faith's never hit by heavy plight;
It being in the morning, it being in the night.
And the ambient atmosphere can't let me cry,
Since I know what to do in such blight.
All I do's to close my eyes,
When darkness brings to me a fright;
Raises my head up to the skies,
That's when Jehovah sends forth his light.
His entirety never dies,
And no one can define his might.
Everything's passing out as time flies,
But this Sovereign King's forever at the greatest heights.
The heart of the broken soul he buys,
Reform sinners and those weakened by contrite;
At the end makes them new and fine,
Replenishes them with love and pride.
All His creations declare He doesn't despise.
Who's this King who can't be defined?
Everything He does is undisputedly right;
At the home of outcasts he dines,
And He grooms any heart filled with spite,
Transforms and makes it really nice,
As peace and long life He supplies.
In the ‘some’ of a number, a zero gets lost.
In the idea of ‘some’, values turn frost.
In equating ‘some’ with ‘some’ of the few,
A territory is gained and a battle renewed.
With ‘some’ of the trained, the Devil tenders right.
Married to ‘some’, lovers are at plight.
Though spirits blossom in ‘some’ of the prime,
Yet autism and dyslexia, hardly rhyme.
In the distractions of ‘some’ the future is brewed,
In faith and trust, some frets get glued.
Busted disgust in ailments rise,
Money merry, and death surprise.
‘Some’ of the past is a ruinous ghost.
Battered pain ---a spirited host.
Let go of ‘some’. In vigor applause.
Time will freeze and the ONE will cause--
Merriment and laughter in bounty oft,
Colors and treasure, music aloft---
Will see ‘some’ faces, in lustrous delight,
Morning will see the halo of Light.
