Best Fourth Year Poems

It's the summer of my fourth year.
Dad is driving us to the seashore.
The sun follows us, a happy fellow,
beaming in the mid-morning’s azure sky.
In the back seat with my two sisters, I’m looking out the window
as I crunch on Mom’s homemade salty Chex Mix,
anticipating ...

Shavuos, a holiday with two different faces
     One in an uncultivated desert
     The other on a cultivated farm...

  On Shavuos itself Jews soar to the highest of heights
     But this poem's about...

How vast and pervasive is the Moon?
Hugeness hints there stand two
Orbs and a turbulent stream
Simply like the dawning sun
All over the half-moon horizon.

On the shore of credulity
The froth shed detritus and sea salt
Carving a path into level sand
Slicing the weft out of silk
By cutting across...

Leap year babes party every fourth year
When their birthday arrives they can cheer
But on a positive note
It would surely get MY vote
Getting old is something they won’t fear!

We planted love inside our hearts
a rooted tree, when but a seedling
Carved our initials deep in the trunk
with rings worn on our left fingers
In early Spring of its second year
a budded sprout began to grow
By mid Summer of its fourth year
branches drooped and became brittle
In...

in grade school
he heard about it

in high school
he prepared for it

in his first year
he explored it

in his second year
he focused on it

in his third year
he felt part of it

in his fourth year
he graduated from it

Now, he has a job
because of it....

I CRY EVERYDAY... NOW WITH NO TEARS

But now...
I cry everyday...now with no tears
Trickling down my cheeks like my first year 
We are on count of the fourth year... wedlock
I made up my mind to dry my tears from within
For my man enjoys those tears from...

Congratulations! You have bought a new car.
May you have many joyful and memorable rides with your family!

As regards how fortunate you are
to get such a quick loan to buy the car,
Aha, ask me!
Few years back, 
in all excitement and overloaded love, 
I gifted my husband,...

Good actor, yet Razzie Award winner, Rob Lowe,
was one of People Magazine’s “Most Beautiful” although
his hair he has dyed since the day
in his twenty-fourth year that he says he went grey!

A prime role was once offered Rob Lowe:
“Doctor McDreamy” on a hit show.
But he took...

Come's, our two thousand and ninety-fourth year;
 the earth is green, and the atmosphere clear.
 The mimosa and kudzu continue to grow,
 and which shall prevail – does anyone know?

 The kudzu is stronger and more eager to win,
 but the winter remains mimosa’s old...

Far from having a nascent thought that envelops my rabid self,
Like inside of an accurate Swiss watch that had been given -
A present to presidents and diplomats from the 70’s era,
Memories in the kaleidoscope of life, one by one,
Like crazy soldiers we used to see...

A sky of gray dances before me
Endless and angry
Blanketing this dirt road
In impenetrable fog

We're all lost, enthralled
With our delusions
Clinging to our convictions
Tightening the ropes around our necks

And everywhere I look
All of my friends are dying
Trapped within a car wreck
Brought about from lack of trying

A game...

Fourth year of bemoaning fellow Filipinos,
Justice wasn’t served yet to our Commandos,
Whose desire is safe haven to live, I suppose,
But nightmare of SAF Troopers were impose,
Which will certainly be like hunting shadows.

01/25/2015, when our Mother Unit flooded with lamentation,
Either way, corruption was everybody’s quotation,
Destroying soldiers...
