Best Finish Up Poems

I Love . . .

to snuggle in my bed, no one around,
the purring of my cat the only sound.
And whether near a window streaming light
or with a lamp nearby me late at night,
I hold within my hands all boredom’s cure,
for I’m embarking on a magic...

The devil's in my room and he's speaking to me
I'm supposed to just swallow what he's feeding to me
Let me tell you what he said
I'll keep you company when you don't have the strength to leave bed
I'll be the reason you can't drop to sleep...

A freak of literature 
Designed by those mad poets 
But escaped the lab: 
the English classroom,
Its me G the hybrid word:
With added punctuation and 
bold character so im strong- 
Arial be my font family but I paced away,
So I ain't close to them
So sorry paragraphs...

Twas the night before deer season
and all through the town
all the hunters were campin';
there was no one around.

The guys weren't all snuggled 
and warm in their beds.
Instead they're in sleeping bags
dreaming of mounted buck heads.

They hope to get out early
and see a huge buck!
To hear...

The silence of the darkness on my early morning strolls is as close as I have ever come to experiencing nature’s soul.

There is a beauty in her silence at the beginning of the day…a tranquil kind of mystery that can take your breath away.

Have you...

I reached retirement age a year ago,
but still I like to teach and so I do,
but three days now instead of four a week.
I start at 9 and finish up by 2.
I love my students, and I joke with them.

My class most fun is an...

Basketball Blues

Here I am trying to string some coherent thoughts into a prose in writing…
When there is this sudden continuous thumping noise behind where I am seating…

Oh no! That can only mean one thing, my little girl is into her  basketball dribbling...
In this limited...

The past scampers out of view. 
Like the paw prints of a cat running to the bush.
The wheel of time follows no straight line.
As we sometimes trace back over the lines.
In the recesses of our minds.

The morning sun comes into the loft.
As nighttime magic mingles...

Have you ever entered in a room?
Where you know you’ve been before?
A place that’s so familiar, 
Played back for you once more.

A room where your surroundings
Are clear and can be viewed.
Where you return to finish up
Things you left to do.

A room where nothing changes
Always seems...

One at a time is the step of life
Take a leap when you get to a pit
Else, down the pit you'll dive
When you resurface your bearing is lost.

Slow and steady is the race of life
Never look back 'cos it’s lost and gone
When you meet setbacks,...

If you draw your sword so sharp
To skewer me on a night so dark
Stop and ponder what might befall
If my words you chance to spall
A bouquet of thorns, for you I’ll sow it
Take warning fair, beware the poet

I’ll drag your hair out from your crown
Set...

I said I'd bring the Brussel Sprouts.
My friend said that was fine.
But still I saw him questioning
as though I'd crossed the line.

He mentioned we had many things.
A meal for a king.
But then he said "Oh what the heck"
and on I went with zing.

I mentioned bringing...

"Stand up straight" yelled the judge "Tell the court how 
you plead" he enquired of the young man accused
"You are here to be tried of a heinous crime so why are you looking amused".
"Not Guilty! M’laud" Replied the accused "And I’ll tell you what’s making...

To Your Health

I read an article that said laughing's good for you
It strengthens the heart muscle, it's something you should do
It made me think about my health and all the things I see
That I should eat to guarantee a new and better me

So I thought...

Count First

So you're too cool to finish up high school.
consider that no one will hire a fool.
Count first.

You might be fine with selling fries and burgers.
Take some classes, sell some bigger orders.
Count first.

Before you cut along the penciled line,
Get out your ruler, measure one more...
