Best Fond Poems

A Fond Farewell to the Soup
You've all been "Souper".

As I set down at the keyboard
My eyes are filled with tears
For I’ll be saying “ Good-bye”
To folks I’ve “known” for years.

I recently self-published my 4th book
Silly rhymes now fill some 400 pages.
Printed up “officially” in the...

We became lovers in a youthful world
Where love's elation flowed forever free
And allowed untamed fervor to unfurl
In a sphere of change to young to see
Could all our shades and shadows have been known
When we held tight in our love's embrace
To know we could only reap...

A Fond Farewell
By
M P Walsh

I text her every day at Ten, just to say good day,
Ask how’s it going, Nana, is everything okay?
Did you sleep the sleep of slumber, or stay awake ‘til 10,
And by the way the real good news, the Red Sox won...

I lay cold and alone in complete and utter darkness
Never again to feel the sunlight upon my face
Alone yet never again lonely, no laughter, no tears, no more fears
Gone is the longing for companionship, the burden of love, nor hatred
Did I wish this? Is this...

A dream on my mind.
A far distant memory.
A smile on my lips....

When our flag is torn and burned I yearn 
For an America I once knew.
When our patriots fall I hear the call
Of cold blood red, white and blue.

And hearing the talk from those that mock 
The beauty of our beliefs,
I’m reminded that freedom’s price
Isn’t always...

Fond of Food
By Franklin Price

Fond of foods that flood the mouth
With salivation sweet
Candy's dandy for dentists too
When we have some sweets to eat...

We weren't rich by any means
but our bellies were full and our clothes were clean

They didn't display those high priced names
but they wore fine just the same

We didn't ride around in fancy cars
Grandma saved pennies in a big glass jar

We learned early that money doesn't...

Holding on to my Nan’s hand, we walked around the lake
The snow was deep all around and there were kids tying on skates
My Nan squeezed my hand and we set off to the little wooden café
Smoke was spiraling out of the stove pipe stack and...

It's harder than we thought-to bid you farewell
The memories lived here, those moments to dwell
The walls resonating our laughter,absorbing our tears
A night's sleep in your arms would allay all our fears.

Packing the things from each nook- all that we might,
Can't take with us the solace...

through the window i peered
intricate layers of lace
painted by old man winter
obscured my view of any visible signs

the snow outside was deep
but the emotions inside ran deeper

i remember waking Christmas morn
empty plate and cup littered the sink
fancy gifts. delicately placed
beneath the now silent tree

giggles of...

I have a fond memory
Of a house back a lane
Oh how I wish 
I could visit again

The three who were there
Were so special to me
And each time I'd visit
My heart filled with glee

The setting was country
But oh it was grand
And I loved setting on the...

Like me, Jimmy had a passion
For writing poetry too
So I thought I’d write a special one
To share with all of you

For my cousin Jimmy Peoples
I have a lot of fond memories
From when we grew up together
With such loving families

After our Grand-daddy Gray
I was supposed to...

“Fond Regrets”

When I think of all I had and lost I wonder how it’s true
Did I have a thankful heart back then grateful for what I knew?
I was loved so deeply then, I could not ask for more
She loved me like I did for her...
