Best Forgivable Poems


Miracle Divine
In the midst of great turmoil and strife, 
There is a force manifestly to be heard…seen….touched
A voice—ever so soft… yet loud enough to break mountains at their base
It can make a grown man cry—can distort the finest face
Lead the mother eagle back to its nest…
Run...

Premium Member How Jan and Lin Slayed the Dragon
Two ladies named Jan and named Lin
professed a forgivable sin
they cornered a dragon
wrung her in a flagon
and gave her away as cheap gin

The old dragon's name was Jooling
who had a habit of drooling
she couldn't stay dry
on ground or in sky
around her urine kept pooling

The ladies...

Paradise Mislaid
We decided to turn Paradise into real estate.
Trouble was, we weren’t too sure where to find it,
Though experts had located it somewhere
Slightly west or east (left or right, looking north)
Of a point midway between the Euphrates and the Nile.
According to some, it moved sideways a...

God Given
It was nailed up at the huge door,
Where people dishonestly balked.
I wondered what for.
I walked up to watch the shuffling flock.

There are too many people in the crowd,
For anyone to notice now.
The silence here is far too loud.

95 could never describe,
Why I couldn't walk in....

Figuratively
When my words rhyme
Oh how I love the crime
Such forgivable murder
Of words changing order

Tis not only sequence
For you have to make sense
Read between the lines
'Cause that's where the secret lies

Measure not the length
But comprehend the depth
Sometimes brevity
Outweighs vocabulary

Compare by simile
To show what it's like
Or use...

Sorry
We should communicate in poetry
eliminating all anger from us
anger kills just like guns in this country
we must bring peace here without any fuss

doing away with anger is the way
many will say anger is a good thing
because Jesus showed anger in his day
but the world has...

America Pretends and Then Has Another Drink and Goes Home
America pretends today
that it didn't actually
put an unqualified
narcissistic bully
in the position
of the most
powerful man
in the whole known universe,

America pretends today
that somehow
this lying
two-faced con-man
can best represent
their interests
& actually givea damn,

America pretends today
that its o.k.
that the office
of the President
is now run by a
scamming tycoon
real-estate developer
whose claim to...

Harming Prince Charming
A smile full of charm
A look full of meanings
Words full of guidance
Actions full of reliance
Hand shake full of warmth
Thoughts of you, filling up my mind
that is all what makes you
My elite charming, extraordinary
magnificently adorable Prince charming...

But nothing comes out of perfection
and so does you, me,...

"don'T Worry Everything Will Be Okay!!!"
Don't worry everything will be okay
Thanking Jesus every time that we pray
And listening to those word that he say
For he'll never tell us anything wrong
And he'll forever keep us strong
We all sometimes have a little doubt
But Jesus knows what it's all about
He's waiting for us...

My Pride Subdued
I simply stumbled when I saw I fumbled;
With my strength I struggled to come over the trouble
But I end up building up more tackles.
I've said, '...well...with my knowledge.., though little.'
Diverting the people's attention from God's temple.
Some too, joggled after me like dull bulls.
I talked as...

What Makes Friendship

What makes distance so touchable,
What makes arm wrestling physical,
What makes fun a thing for two,
What makes tears of missing you,
What makes secrets last, insiders,
What makes smiles, to be tear-wipers,
What makes fighting, ugh, forgivable,
What...

Why Alzheimer's

Sitting blank with nothing to think on my mind
Feels like a dry well in my head.
Nothing old or new under my sun.
Thirsty for knowledge of anykind;
I keep Pumping until there is a drip,
I stick out my desperate tongue to catch the 
hard-pressed moisture to...

Joan of Arc
Come with me
Deep in the stars
We shall lie upon this grass
For a few hours, touching
Gently blow a kiss
Into the depth of the sky
And all apologies
Shall be caught in eased sigh
Allow me to lead you through this world black
Around it and back
You wear pain
As though chains
Were...

What Would You Tell Them
I'm sleeping banana leaves
Who sprout at your summon
For every liquid led onto my sleeves

I'm a wandering savannah breeze 
long gone, at your beck..
shelters 'r abode from heat, lays you with warmth

I am a Manky lanky little corgi
who barks at ur call
for every liquid that bled...

Premium Member Eve
Eve ... You yearn to pluck with utmost haste
	  The fruit on the forbidden tree.
	  The urge is great, resistance hurts
	  The ache is so unbearable.

Eve ... You gaze and wish to hold and taste
	  The fruit on the forbidden tree.
