Best Fave Poems

Meeting my homegirls Wilma Neels
and Kim Van Breda with shrieks and squeals
hasty introductions and we're on our way
for a night of reading at Poetry Café

We've Yasmin to thank for arranging the meet
with fellow Soupers, a veritable treat
Yasmin the sneak had their names withheld
we're apprehensive yet...

Collecting 45's, I could not wait
for albums of groups' greatest hits to be
released; one band I thought was pretty great
put out the album most well-liked by me.

Its psychedelic cover art was cool.
And Golden Bisquits was the album’s name.
I listened very often after school
to those songs...

Emotions diverse
'pon reading your verse
laughing and crying spontaneous
face a-beaming
tears a-streaming
joyful and sad smile-utaneous

My head is swollen
my heart all but stolen
wending across the vast pond
may stars shine my smiles
on you o'er the miles 
of whom I'm mutually fond

I'm honored;  moreover
positively bowled over
by your verse with...

To fave or not to fave, is that the question
Whether ‘tis nobler to remain silent
To hurl faint praise and fortune
Suffer the pangs of outrageous doubt
Or take up arms against a sightless algorithm
And by opposing them.  ..To try – to sleep,
No more:  amid the...

We mark
as favourite,
poems that stir our soul,
hoping to rekindle the flame,
perhaps another day, another time
but more oft than not, we do not
cross the same river twice,
forgetting what
we mark.

You reckon you're a poet
that title, forego it
though you churn out verse 
at a rate perverse
and polish and tweak
cos perfection you seek 
to replace Mark Twain
but a wish will remain
I rate you no more
than a comment-whore

Yet with ambivalence
masochistic diligence
I seek out your writes
to soar me...

Time and again what you write is my FAVE
They stay in my memory and never FADE
You don’t know the difference your words have MADE
You always choose just the right MODE
Whether its one of the olds or one of the MODS
Your writing is truly a gift...

Through Fedal's incessant reign
He pierced his way to glory
With plenty of effort and pain
He scripted a new story

First Slam in 2008                  
Number one three years later 
But what...

Don't bring a knife to

don't be ill-prepared

A big part of being my most special favorite-est:
my desire to contemplate her more does persist

I'll write more soon, even if it takes me an hour!
On my fave poetess: St Therese the Little Flower

I'm back online now, reading some of her poetry
They are the type...

First day
of Fall—hey,
I love the way
I feel today


“Just a simple little ditty, not too long and not so witty, but a feel-good sweet refrain that I’m proud of all the same.” —by poet...

I
love
the
little game we play
when
your asleep 
stuck
bewteen the two worlds of
the
unconscious and
the
conscious mind
when I
whisper your name and kiss
you
a few times
but you smile
no matter how tired you are
welcoming me
to
come to that place
of the
unconscious
and
I
love ripped up
jeans
so
soft
and
comforting
as
i run my fingers over
your
knees
and
I admire
how
durible
the
fabric remains
after
3 long
years
like
us
and
I smile
and
I love
conversations
spent
holding each other
feeling
the
leather
on my...

squirrel dressed up like the count is mighty fine.
She runs door to door, loving it when she is next in line.
Candy comes in so many flavors, snickers is her fave.
She picks out all of the nuts, which make her happily rave...

Our heroine Dorothy is caught up in a storm,
She looks around as she lands, unbeknown will transform
Children’s dreams in an adventurous way,
With her new friends, let’s say hurray,
Magic shoes travel The Yellow Brick Road, not the norm.
  

They discovered the Wizard Of Oz was...
