Best Fifteen Poems

A cacophony of cats in my life.
Not one or two, but fifteen!
Each,who along with joy,
brought sadness and strife!
All shapes and sizes with grand
and most loving personalities.

The Maine Koone was the smallest
of all.
Maxine was pedigreed and came
home as a present for my daughter 
as a surprise,...

Trees clear.
Falls here. 

Docs pills
Cure ills.

Dim glow 
Wick low. 

Turn key
Lock free. 

Mist cloud 
Grey shroud. 

Big weir 
Stay clear. 

Wasp sting
Red ring. 

Sad clown 
Big frown. 

UHU 
Strong glue. 

Grape vine's 
Makes wines. 

Weddings
Gold rings. 

Slow dance 
Romance. 

Long kiss 
Pure bliss. 

Small plate
Lose...

If l had to hand-pick fifteen poets from Poetry Soup
To meet and a share day
I know exactly who l would pick 
Without doubt straight away

We are all drawn to different personalities
Solely from the words we pen
Connections made , thoughts shared
We have a poetry friend

The poets...

When I see my day in chunks of fifteen minutes
It’s impossible to feel overwhelmed
I feel blessed with newfound freedom
Take a bath
Read a few pages
Walk to the corner of the street
Take in a few sunrays
Stop and listen to a bird chant
Take a photo or two of...

Fifteen days of living I blew bubbles
Bubbles pearlescent in the sun
In hope and love I blew you bubbles
Ephemeral, floating, glorious sun loved bubbles.

In my act of creation, exhale air
Life held close in the bubbles 
Uh-whoo, uh-whoo, here’s life to live
I blew you bubbles for you...

Fifteen
not sixteen
longing for sweet
just one more year
waiting...

He told me
 his last 
 real conversation was in
 nineteen-fifty-five. And that was
  thirty minutes
 on the sidewalk
 with an interested stranger.
 Those that love him
 respect his silence,
 keep him to a fifteen word
 maximum. That allows them
 to get along. Silence...

Bit late,the third teen,
But dot at fifteen,
Attained puberty,
Today,
The millennium girl!...

Limerick crochetés: Once Warrior Fifteen from down under

Once Warrior Fifteen from down under
Trained so hard Hakka to outclap thunder
	Scared s..t off rivals
	To reach the Finals
At Twitch-in-Ham where Prince roared like Pauper

Anthems sweet lulled the cheery spectator
World hushed to watch Black Hakka Warrior
	Earth shook hearts thumped...

I'll remember twenty-fifteen
for the atrocities, I've seen.
When ISIS cut a man's head off,
newsmen squealed like pigs at a trough.

The Arab spring was ill-conceived,
democracy wasn't achieved.
And refugees thus forced to flee,
capsized boats, and got drowned at sea.

Religion reared its ugly head,
now we're tasked with counting the...

In Times Square, soon we'll observe a departing,
With a huge Crystal ball's culminating descent.
Millions will celebrate the New Year's starting,
While exiling, to our past, the one just spent.

With former things occupying our year departed,
Whether good, bad, of found settled in between.
They're gone, and future days,...

Fifteen minutes to sunset 
we haven't got a care 
walking along the beach front 
letting worries disappear 

red skies are pushing closer 
my fingers tangle in your hair 
two hearts be still and wonder 
in comfort there is no fear 

waves come wash upon us...

( FIFTEEN CROSSES )

I had a dream I was kneeling, at fifteen crosses on the hill
Not a whisper from the trees, everything was still,
I felt a sadness in my heart, an empty kind of pain,
Fifteen souls had gone away, only memories remained.
I tried to cry...

I loved you
You were quiet and surly
But your soul was dying in the darkness
And I never knew
You never said a word
And I was accustomed to your silence
So how could I have known you wouldn't say goodbye
Did you think if you were out of sight that...

I'm fifteen,
and can't get 
you outta my mind,
I don't want to,
Please stay there.

I'm fifteen, and you
are all I can think 
about. Fifteen till I'm
dead, can't get you
outta my head.

I'm fifteen
and I don't want you
outta my head, I never want 
you to go away, you are...
