Best Happenings Poems

Upon tiptoes
   I reach up to the skies
Stretch,stretch 
    beyond the everyday norms
the routines of life 
     that shackle my mind
crush imagination&
          and creativity

Begone

URAN'S WILLY

Taking sides in discussions holily
About whether Uran used his willy
Means you're trapped in their game -
Either side is the same:
Cock distracts, cash departs, crowd stays silly.

What happened yesterday
Is in the past, 
Gone away.
What happened tomorrow
No-one knows
Joy or sorrow.
What happened today
Tomorrow I will say
One thing I am sure
Now or when
Will always follow
What happened then.

I wot of maifaire said the man where people sell
Upon the green where are leafy boughed trees seen
There stand thegen; reeve; and fat geese lay, there
People do sport and horses neigh
Just follow down the earthen track 
you will see it where 
the colored buntings flap.'

Wow...

Morning newsprint
Wet soaking rain;
Bleak news today

~~~~~~~~~


Play school kids
Stare as I pass;
Curious eyes follow

~~~~~~~~~


New age cakery here
Exquisite creations;
Addictive morsels

~~~~~~~~~


Beggar in rags
Face soiled and weary;
Pleads for a meal

~~~~~~~~~


Our society is well-fed
Yet the poor abound;
Poverty of all sorts

~~~~~~~~~


Molasses and coconut cream
Desserts that enchant;
Another round please

~~~~~~~~~


Evening rain pours
Run for...

Perchance, happenstance, my sailor found me
as I arrived (a package deal) but I stole his heart
and wouldn’t share, though some so-and-so tried.
She’s lucky she’s still alive. Thankfully my sailor
couldn’t be bribed. He was revived, not villified,
by my return. He told me all about so-and-so.

I said...

Falling leaves
Paragraphs wind blown;
Telling a story

~~~~~~~~~


Two carrot cakes
Different recipes;
Delightful outcomes

~~~~~~~~~


House work calls
Busy with home work;
Fastidious hands

~~~~~~~~~


Watch what happens
Random rain wets;
Harsh heatwave irrigates

~~~~~~~~~


Yes once again
That time of year;
Haze adds colour

~~~~~~~~~


Geopolitics confers
Conflict confronts calm;
Uneasy peace

~~~~~~~~~


This great stretch
Sea and boundaries;
So many claims

~~~~~~~~~


Difficult choices
No middle path;
Fumble taking sides

~~~~~~~~~


So much...

Drink her water
Breathe her air 
Bask in sun's bright glare
Feed upon natures delights 
Lay and watch the starry night 
Stroke the faithful
Dig the soil
Sail the seas 
Climb the heights
Lunar love 
Rivers run
Milk made
Beast beings marveled
Birds startle
Fish swim
Her and him
Planets giddy
Stars collide
A great universal ride...

Waiting for something to happen
Makes us sit and watch and wait
Getting less than what we want
Is not what we should take
We need to make better life choices
Nothing is ever ordained by fate...

Friends hug and make toasts.
Big bands play loud songs.
Loud parties get wild.
Fireworks fill skies
Confetti is thrown.

On New Years’ Day,
Parades fill streets.
Kids catch candy.
Girls twirl batons.

Later that night,
Lights go out.
People sleep.

New Year’s
Begins

Hope.

Something really happens strange in life ;
Which leaves us with life destroying,
Difficulties over miles and miles,
Those happenings with the tragedies in life.

My life is destroyed with the;
Arrival of certain occasional happenings.
The life is not life without name and fame,
By the upcoming time,through which I am...

my heart is full and not crying
for the first time 
and i thank you

my mind is filled with happy thoughts
for a permanent change
and i thank you

my body is completely stress free
for once in my life 
and i thank you

my life itself is blessed with the...

Forty days of joy
  the Resurrected Jesus
  this body He  did deploy 

to walk
             to greet
              ...

Funerals and Reunions,
I’ve no fondness for either,
But similar to magnets,
They attract. 

People come together
For a transience of time,
And then withdraw,
To meditate;

Look at this irony. Stroke of fate
So cruel that I can’t breathe so straight!
Curfew’s cleansed city’s air,
Pollution fairly fair,
Yet, my mask blockades both fresh-air gates!
Locked in house, halfway hung,
I can’t hail city’s lungs,
COVID’s hijacked all life, love or hate.
