Greetings on your Independence Day
Greetings on your Independence Day
Dear American poet friends of Poetry Soup
Including those
Who had left their lasting impressions on me
In the blooming period of Poetry Soup
By their poems, thoughts and beautiful words
Which they engraved
On many pages and poems of mine and others
Or on their pages and poems
It all has left a lasting influence
On my mind and heart
That I often remember those great friends
Knowing well that many of them
Would not hear the voices of my heart
As some of them are no longer present on poetry soup
And some have found
Some other more soothing ways and groups
But those who are still in the arena
May feel like responding
To an old friend's memories recall.
Days and nights keep changing
Like the cycle of life
The Makers of every nation
Also keep changing
With the mood and liking of its people
What really matters is the works
Which they do
Or the things which they implement
For the general good of their masses
As well as
For the general good of the entire world.

Welcome comrads
ghost and ghouls
tis the bewitching hour
the time of our rule
let us be shadows
and eyes in the night
let us give the living
a hell of a fright
be not kind
to little boys and girls
step into their dreams
make them all screem
be not friends
to sissys and cowards
visit each one
hour after hour
and when you see someone alone
keep them company
but be not shown
a glimps of a shadow
a bump in the night
a chill in the wind
a mysterious light
make them believe that noise
is not a mouse
and give them the greif of living
in a haunted house

coz I got sick. )
Cloud lifts
Haze drifts
The drowsy earth looks freshly cleansed
Bone chillness can be truly sensed
Light dew
Bright hue
Fine view
Rain falls
Wet walls
The sun goes hiding behind clouds
Drops drip as dark aura enshrouds
Muddy puddles
Water muddles
Crowd huddles
Snowy flakes
Frozen lakes
Sashaying in robes of white array
Winter's cold breath blows me away
Ice skating
Skis waiting
Snowmen creating

Lord, please do, let us have a kindly dream, of a peaceful holiday.
To realize the value of poets that we know,and also.unknown.
We refuse faces of negativity, to humbly walk in your ways.
Please remind us, please, to go to the light,where thy glory be fully shown.
I realize that not all of us have a family to sit down and have a dinner with.
So poets, light your candles to make this confused world, radiantly bright.
After dinner, go to the draped, frosted, family, front bay window, or forthwith….
God will have created a soft, Thanksgiving, snowcarpet of pure white!.

Howdy folks. The name's Ike
and I'd like to send a refrain.
along with the Mrs.,
Her name is Jane.
Some of you nice folks know us,
and some of you don't.
We don't wanna make a big fuss,
so we probly won't.
See, we was in the "old geezer's garden" talkin,
and we was thinkin' about our new friends,
while holdin' hands and walkin.
We do that now and again.
Yup, we just want to say to you all,
we're a thinkin' you're so precious,
since knowin you, we've had a ball.
So from the bottom of our hearts,
y'all have a happy and holy Christmas,
and may the Lord bless each of you,
with His awesome Love and Goodness,
now and in the coming year.
. Nite nite all,
. from me and the Mrs.
once the sun greets the day with its glorious face
I’ll run to you and give you my sweetest embrace
giving you my warmest smiles and kiss on your cheeks
hoping that it will bring happiness and give you a morning bliss
once I see all the smiles on your very beautiful face
I’ll run to your garden and pick three of those red roses
giving you wholeheartedly with all my loving wishes
may your day be filled with sunshine and God’s loving graces
once I see the sunshine has completely brightened your face
I’ll run to the altar and pray that happiness goes on ‘til all the days ahead
giving you a rainbow to crown your life for all your deeds
you are a very special person, far more precious than a gold or jade

To you my precious Valentine,
I raise my glass of wine!
Tho' you have driven me to drink,
'Tis you I truly love (I think)!
You are so lovely to me my dear.
I shall always want you very near!
Tho' you have the couth of a battering ram,
You're still my darling Valentine, madame!
Happy Valentine's Day to you my sweet!
Ours is a romance with love replete.
But when whispering sweet nothings in my ear,
Please refrain from burping up your beer!
Happy Valentine's Day to you my beloved wife.
Without you 'twould be a very dismal life.
I'm looking forward to romantic years ahead,
Tho' the dye of your hair be purple, black or red!

Entry for Carol Eastman's "Humor Contest"
My senses are flooded by poems posted here
such inspiration held within each line
I have both laughed and shed many tears
as your words move and stir me on.
Imagination set free to roam where it will
comrades' and friends I salute you all
and wish you all a joyous festive time
good cheer to one and all who visit soup
May the New Year bring you what you want
and inspiration in bucket loads
for them struggling or alone
a wish for health and happiness.
Season's greeting
To USA from India
Greetings on your 235th Independence Day
You move ahead and move a little faster than before,
Your goals are still far ahead my friend,
Keep moving, even if you find the roads,
Not as smooth as it used to be in the past.
Just choose your new goals and friends carefully, and
Be careful in selecting new Goals,
Be very careful from those my friend,
Who may deceive or may overtake your good efforts,
While marching along with you on your way.
Some in this world still believe that everything is fare in War,
But unfortunately they do not believe in Love at all.
You have to do lot many things my friend,
While shaping the dreams of your people, and
Sharing your love and goodwill with those,
Who are really your well wishers and friends, but may be they are not
Walking with you, every time you move on a new road.
You have yet to win the hearts of many more,
Not by the powers of guns and your mighty force,
But by the power of freedom, Love and humanity and
The will to save this beautiful Earth.
These efforts would ultimately set aside, everything else, and
Would make your country not only prosperous and big.
But a Great Nation in true senses, my friend.
On this wonderful great day 4th July,
We sincerely give you our Good Wishes and Greetings to you,
O’ My friend, USA.
Greetings
On behalf of the peace loving people of my country India.

Greeting of 4th July to all my Poetry Soup friends.

There once was a man with the flu
Shaking hands saying "How do you do?"
When next did we meet
My reply to his greet
Was a germ-ridden, spitting "Achoooo!!"
It rained THIS year around Eid.
Rained both, clear... and blood.
And the land was cleansed by the following morning.
(For those unaware, Eid is a religous festival celebrated by Muslims)
"Haiku Hachi - Greetings"
good morning to you
a good morning to you too

Isn't it amazing: you're still hanging 'round?
After all these years, you're still above the ground.
That is so inspiring, it's just like a dream!
So get that scoop a-working, and let's have more ice cream!
Isn't it astounding, how we're here with you?
Your friends and relations make up quite a crew!
Anyone who sees us will do a double-take
While we crowd all around you, to have a piece of cake!
Isn't it incredible, we all wonder why
You've so many birthdays, we can't count that high!
All the years that passed...it's hard to keep the score
But who needs a number? We plan to have some more!
Articulating midst roses' scent of God’s goodness*
affectionately, I assert my prayer affirmations for you
Blissfully bringing bountiful salvation-gift
blest redemption of complete pardon
Care and comfort tied around the Saviour's
compassion, assuring everlasting life…
Declaring greetings along roses' bouquet
desirous am I to delight your day
Earnestly expressing commendations for your
enthusiasm and vibrant energy as well as
Faith-anchored fervency, exposing your commitment's
fiery service surpassing red petals of these flowers…
Gladness surely accompanies these roses
gleefully gracing your way toward victory
Hoisting against despair which the thorns reveal
heralding hope that vanquishes failure gloom
Instilling gratefulness to Christ
inspiring worshipful glorious praises…
Joy-filled salutations are what the roses convey
jubilantly to your soul with my best wishes
Keeping you reminded of our covenant of sweet fellowship
kindness engagements while in our reaching-out pursuits
Love verily at work presented by your favorite flowers
liberating against selfishness' dominion.
*Psalm 52:1 … The goodness of God endureth continually.
