Best Gladder Poems

Mornings, light and smiling
Coffee brewing, black
Meat frying in a cast iron skillet
Grease, flour and milk, stirred together
Gravy poured over steaming biscuits
Granny’s breakfast – typically
Grown to life from a wood cookstove

Noon, gentle sunshine
Picking cornfield beans, breaking
The beans and then washing them
Placing them into a vessel, a...

It's spring. Cares we're flinging,
and the birds are winging;
their birdlings are singing
growing fatter!

Love doves now are cooing.
So what could be brewing?
Romance is ensuing.
That's the matter!

All the world is playing.
Some for rain are praying.
Rainfall answers, saying
Pitter-patter.

With my worries fleeing,
it is all so freeing.
Crazy I'll be being...

I’m urgently needing to wee
But ordered to withhold my pee
I stand with legs crossed
And feel fit to 'bost'
I wonder when they will call me

The doc said I need a full bladder
I’m bursting to go, I get madder
When I’ve had my scan
I dash to the can
I...

Out walking, and I need a leak
A toilet I urgently seek
There’s now’t but a bush
Oops I felt a whoosh
Wet panties - I don’t need to peek!

I contact my doctor called Emma
And explain my awful dilemma
That when I need to pee
There is such urgency
It ruins walks...

I sail unaware 
into
 
the ocean currents 
of her life:

and 
smitten, I 
desire to ride 

them with her.

Somewhere 
along
 
the ocean 
ways, a 

seed of love 

plants itself in 
the soil 

of my heart 

and takes root 
and grows—

only to perish 
like 

an embryo of...

LONG-EXPECTED moment
Ling ‘ring year at last has flown,
Pomp and pleasure, pride and plenty
Lady Lola, are all your own.

The morning sun lights up the tops of trees
And spreads the lovely lawns with misty morning dew,
As mother nature slowly stirs itself,
To arouse a world of beauty and...

Imagination - January 27, 2016

I sail over green forests,
Ride jet streams above the seas,
Gain speed like lightning,
Earth eagerly seeks to please.

Big Dipper’s nectar tastes delightful,
The North Star looks and lingers.
Comets whisper amazement,
As planets crook their fingers.

My soul soars past Orion,
Itinerating through ethereal space.
A far off...

Through the teeth
and through the gums
look out belly 
here it comes
through the colon
or through the bladder
when I'm relieved
I feel much gladder!...

Poor Susan has got a weak bladder
Incontinence made her get sadder
She now wears Depends™
They’re her new “best friends”
And Susan just couldn’t be gladder!

Is't sweeter to find an expected dagger
Than an unexpected daffodil?
To be right and find your apple pie stolen
Than find one left for you upon the sill?
If knowledge grants a sovereign power
Its symbol must be yin and yang
For on a peg of hopeless hopes
Is not where...

Love Is In The Night Air

In the eve of the night her bosoms perk
Two shining stars dance to his fireworks
A bang and a pop
Sweet love drops
Glitter and gladder the moons went berserk

INTER - NATION PRONUNCIATION

My transatlantic friend’s adored
We reach across the ocean
Communications although flawed
Won’t lessen my devotion

She looks pure and sweet indeed
With fair visage clear although her
Voice as if she’s just smoked weed
With pitch half octave lower

Though we’re sharing the same lingo
And her presence makes me...

My stomach's like a rumbling pit
     That any moment may explode.
My stomach's like a roiling pot
     That's holding way too big a load.
My stomach's like Vesuvius;
     It will erupt--and soon, I feel
My stomach's...

...In the capital a great feast was thrown
to welcome Larren back from the frontier.
Minstrels sang songs of his victories,
while they ate venison and drank beer,
the whole city thronged with good cheer.
But Larren was subdued in the feasting hall,
his betrothed sat across from him, haughty and...

Hello, how have you been?
I have to call to You again
Something happened, you have forgotten
Someone once said to me in this den...
“You are different from all the other men”

It’s time to stand tall, time to stand tall
Even if success is a temporary phone call

Goodbye, will...
