Best Friendly Poems

The campfire reaches
Lighting the night
Rolling the logs
Red embers take flight
Sharing our memories
Eating nuts for snacks
Spitting shells in the fire
The fire spitting them back
We laugh at jokes
And sarcastic remarks
Smoke waters our eyes
We run from the sparks
The conversation lags
As the evening tires
We all kick back
Put more wood...

Poem 1: A Boy And His Painted Piano

he used lively greens
tender blues,
touches of plain mauve 
and rainbow trout splatters
to paint music
on the gas fumes 
that inhabited the clean air
that once use to live there.

he made the ugly decaying
neighborhood i lived in
bearable on even the worse...

How hard can it be to say hello,
to a stranger on the street!
To smile and say " how are you”,
to anyone you meet?

It sure can't hurt to be polite,
or lend a helping hand,
to give a friendly word of cheer,
and respect your fellow man.

Be friendly toward...

I was visited by ghosts again, last night, 
But they were not the ghoulish kind.
These ghosts were friendly phantoms,
From the sunshine meadows of my mind.

First, came the Ghost of Childhood
From his home, so far away.
He took me back to green fields, 
Where I used to...

My River Birch has swelling buds
First signs of coming spring
So tiny and so delicate
With bright red fuzzy rings

A few of last years cones, dark brown,
Through lush green needles, peek,
At singing birds in camoflage
A game of hide and seek

The daffodils have yet to bloom
Their countdown has...

Words of a friend greet me this morning
As a smile returns to a once barren face
They enliven my spirits, exciting me deep
What once was despair, my friend has erased

Alive in a feeling, where thoughts now permit
Come words through a voice, that echo within
I’ll write them...

I sit outside wondering what those bossy raccoons are doing in the kitchen.
They threw me out assuring me that spaghetti making is their specialty.
Do not let the crows in, I cautioned them. They steal my shiny jewelry.
It is not easy being animal friendly. I sit...

She said..........

You workaholic, you're intoxicated
'Seems like work is all that's on your mind
With all the extra money, you've been making
It looks like you could pay your bills on time

Now you don't have to ruin your good credit
You don't have to let it go that far
I'll...

'Baby, you taste like chocolate,
 
You and me we'd make a great rhyming couplet.
 
A.K.A a grinding couplet.'
 
 
 
'You can get on top of me like enjambment.'
 
 
 
'I can show you some wild imagery,
 
Me on you, you on me.'

Kindness is…

Kindness is the harmony of birds’ songs in the breeze
It’s the way the moon so hauntingly reflects with calming ease
It’s heaven’s chorus ‘round the world while folks pray on their knees
Umbrella sharing, homeless shelters, shade from tall oak trees

Kindness is a child handing you...

I am reading people today.
Their faces, their smiles, their twinkles and flashes.
Their energy in the form of art, and poetry.
I am reading everyone I can get my eyes on.

I am reading poems, and stories.
I am reading their lives, and their loves.
I am relishing their heartfelt...

Meet the friendly capybara
Rodent large without a care, a
Chill companion, friend to all, for
Clearing any gloomy pall

Sitting still or hanging out, with
Capybara social clout, a
Being present in the now, who
Effortlessly lives the Tao

Showing up and just to be, in
Any opportunity, a
Doing by no action seen,...
