Best For A While Poems


Smile Smile For a While
My name is Mr. Happy.
Spelled H-A-P-P-Y. 
Also known as Pappy.
Spelled P-A-P-P-Y.
I am the Mr. Happy Pappy guy.
And, I hate to see kids cry...
I hate to see kids cry.
So... Smile, Smile for a while
In a happy smiley face style.
Can your smiles be in a pile?
Smile, Smile...

Premium Member The Love That Got Away - For a While
At fifteen I was filled with passionate dreams
God breathed possibilities through my ambitions
I learned to feel with my heart, visions of a caress
Whispering through me when I first met him, my fantasy

At twenty-three I was older and wiser, longing for a touch
Imagining he was with...

Hermit For a While
Sometimes I would like to be a hermit,
live in solitude in the woods,
away from clamor and distraction,
with quiet to think and write.

Then I remember that I am 
an extroverted people person:
I would not last three days
with no one to talk to,
not a month without a...

Premium Member Farewell For a While
Feels limiting living in a small place...
I retrace all my sorrows and joys
In a region I've personally proclaimed as my home.

Within my mind is only a dream of another place.
Another desire and wish of mine is to be set free.
I am sorry, but I must...

Think About It For a While
Thing About It for a While

St. James is determined to be demanding
Resulting in a mysterious misunderstanding;
At Midway and Two Eleven much wind blows;
Have heard there won't be the likes of Lowes.

Also, is some news about an elegant story
Resulting from the presence of a crematory
And on...

Let Me Stay Here For a While
Let me stay here for a while, for I want to see them all who are crying.
Lament for me when I die.
Not many have I made so close in my years - the ones I did are wishing me a merry life.
I  Yearn for...

Sampaguita, Eternal For a While
Sampaguita...for the shortest while, eternal;

           blissful enigma, serene beauty, 

                       paradisiacal.


Dew-kissed white petals...

Not Posting For a While
Due to health of Dad, I will not be posting new poems for a while.
Things are going downhill fast....
I will still read other poets when time permits.

Quality time spent with him is more important at this time. 
 
I do appreciate all of you for...

For a While
I feel that I deserve better than this…
I don’t want to play the part of being a broken-hearted boy
I will be missed like the abstract abyss
I was manipulated many times like a fragmented toy

For a while, 
We erased time together
For a while,
Goodbye felt way better
Leaving...

Someone I Knew For a While
I flew across the sky for you
The plan was just one night
So how can something we know is so wrong
Feel so real... and so right

Everything happens for a reason
But why you...I’ll never know
Fate may have brought us together...but
My choice was to let you go

Forbidden love,...

Nostalgia Please Stay For a While
tea strong enough to bring me back to my senses
candle smoke fills the air
I close my eyes and think of you
your aroma kisses my forehead so gently
i long to reconcile 
nostalgia please stay for a while...

Among the so many good poets of the Soup to find

For with my greatest love, Erato, the Muse of poetry 

Arrangements I have made, for a little while to hide!

Please Stay If Just For a While
Please stay a little while longer,
Hold me closer if only for a while,
Cry if you want I give you my shoulder,
Please stay if just for a while,

Let’s sit and gaze at the moon,
While we cuddle after a moments smile,
Feel every spasm so sudden so soon,
Please...
