Best Harked Poems


Billy Was a Silly Man
Billy was a silly man 
Run over by neighbor Anne 
He barked barked and barked 
But nobody harked 
His cry in the summer rain...

Edith's Hefty Handbag
Edith had been suffering from shoulder pain
She'd developed a stoop and only her left shoulder would sag
When she went to see her doctor
He put all the blame on her weighty handbag

One afternoon she had time to spare
So she decided to empty it out
Anything that wasn’t...

The Rabbit -Part Two-
(literary nonsense)
quite early in the morrow i felt the sun warm me to the marrow and the light of it eased sorrow which had clouded up my brain
and i harked back to last night where i sat and mulled my plight when a rabbit said...

Premium Member Wishing Well
Stella Williams was eight years old, living with her widowed mother-
Happily, though a bit lonely, like powder blue skies, sans sunset color.

The Williams lived in a rural area, with no child Stella's age, nearby.
A farmer in the valley, was the only neighbor, like waves of...

A Pact of Hidden Thorns
Ohh the hidden thorns of my love
   when truth and care's not held above
   when snake is symbol of white dove
Ohh the hidden thorns of my love

Secret glances Secret thoughts
   when friendly truth begins to rot
   and...

Premium Member Jerusha's Rubicon
Family unity, ties bound with conditions
Cult peoples kept from alternate climates
Narrow track administered to every woman
Mother of two, Jerusha determined to fight it

Prospect of allowed departure non existant
Packed full backpacks for herself, Cain, Ismail 
Heart racingly taken, stealth taxi whisked them
Latitude of escape seeped freedom's...

Premium Member An Unused Currency Note
I pulled over my car to the side of the highway road.
And went to an inn to get my hunger satiated.
An old beggar woman raised her frail hand and bowed to me.
She was looking gaunt, bony and fully enervated.

I nodded my head to the woman...

I heard an angel the other night from deep inside my heart 
she sifted through my senses
                            ...

Another Day
Hopping into the mist,
Which was growing colder,
With each dwindling dusk sunray,
I was hurtling into mysterious night dark,
Quite despondent and hapless,
By the lurid events of the day,
I was held afloat,
By a dozing nightingale on a twig,
That still harked,
Do not worry,
Tomorrow will be another day....

I Just Followed My Heart
When I first saw you
It didn't happen from the start
I took another look, and
I just followed my heart.

You were just another Guy
Joining the crowd at-large
The second time I saw you
I just followed my heart.

I realized the relationship
Negative - on my part
But, when I saw you...

Dark Dribble's Death
past tenses tensed
porous rent rent
felon fills filled
hoisted bills billed
haughty ends ended
flimsy flood flooded

wanky waste wept
cremating callous crest
dark dribble's death

sage syllables saged
punctured pages paged
kindly rusty race

mission missed mark
hideous hymns harked!

Stranger Things
From strange elixir of mind 
a form walks in forming strange lines, 
in a poem of a chant of a spell, 
encantrain echoes it's well.
Where roses bloom, 
dead and spirits recite their bleed 
of encantation- room draining, waning light. 

CHORUS:
From strange minds 
come strange lines...

Premium Member Has Our Heart Confirmed
Has our heart confirmed, that God is
Source of our aliveness
Divine union birthing bliss fizz
Singular consciousness 

God is, love is, the all
Manifest as bliss squall 
Have we harked yet, His call

By sages affirmed
Has our heart confirmed

Peace
I got it peace may be an appreciation of the world
   or it is what is happening when we say for instance
    something is western or eastern or southern
    or northeast or northern
   or something...
