Best Hungriest Poems


Trail of Regrets
Times spent most unwisely, unkindly
are each marked on this journey of ours
with a cairn of regret; small reminders 
strewn by our souls like rancid breadcrumbs, 
untouched, even by the hungriest of birds 
not to stain the past, but to steer the present
and with hope, to...

A Song For the Spirit of Creativity
where will i find her?
i will find her hiding
inside a triangle
humming, bent over
and sewed into
my many great grandmother's
signature
buried, saved
for the hungriest of winters

like a swan passing
white with long leaps
shapeless spirit
who keeps
herded colors
locked inside her
bone tooth box
stars on either side

the sweetest prayers
work best with tears
i will...

Over the Blue Horizon
With hungriest eyes 

I scan

the distant skyline.



Searching for love at

all compass points.



In the crimson tumble

of sunset

your face smiles

imposed on velvet clouds.



Distance impales my heart

on javelin lasers.



Biting back the sting of tears

I pray

beyond the cruel vault

of land and sea;



over the blue horizon

we will be together forever

some...

Sorrow
We share the world's beauty.
We love the instant contact.

It is very difficult for those
who do not share it's wealth.

To most of the world, those of
us in the west are wealthy
beyond imagination.

Meanwhile, we struggle to
keep bills paid, and wonder
why we don't share either.

A video of the...

Seeds
One being seeks another to increase.
Fun!famine!weak or strong and blinded by thunder or peace.
Fed and nourished by the elements of life.
Welded and flourishes to the betterment of man and wife.
Children of knowledge with the healthiest brains,
Wisdom bred colleges are the hungriest wanes!
Imaginations only god can...

Pen Wakes, Shakes And Casts Its Darkest Long Frown

When faithful pen, releases not its ink
heaven and stars refuse usual blinks
moon dims and lets out moaning mournful cries
poison arrows shoot across wailing skies
Paper cringes in desperate despair,
around weeping edges begins to tear.

At such times, poet's heart...

Leave the Note Upon the Limb of the Oldest Tree
LEAVE the note upon the limb
of the oldest tree & cry for me
A sense of urgency 
  & if you sense fire my Love 
Oxygen removed from the 
hungriest brains are so biblical
   Spreading my arms wide
apart to separate the water
from the...

Dream the Impossible Dream
To Dream the Impossible Dream......

To dream the impossible dream,
Is to rise to unreachable heights,
Or to climb all unconquered mountain peaks,
Or for you to dive to the deepest depths of seas,
Even to travel to the far ends of mother earth,
Or to feed the hungriest of child,
As...

"It’s Raining, It’s Pouring"
It’s raining, it’s pouring
The old man is snoring
He bumped his head
And went to bed
And didn’t get up till morning.

Shivers 'me Timbers
truth be told tune's like old
day had grew night he knew
possibles here unfolds.

I'm Popeye the sailor man
fought Brutus a former friend

Premium Member Spit Out the Grit
wouldn’t it be awesome
if life were always as smooth
as scoops of homemade
strawberry ice cream
easing down our throat
on lazy summer days

sad truth is
oftentimes we’ll find
grit in our leftover soup
when we’re at our hungriest

yes, my friends
we’ve got to make the most
of good times as they roll by
because...

Serena
Serena, when she’s sleeping, is the sleepiest cat in the world.

She likes her basket in the sun,
and a nice warm bed when day is done.
She stretches first and turns around
and only then she settles down.
But then she’ll sleep the whole day through,
with just a little...

What Never Changes After An Illusion
If happiness was all we wanted...
what changes after an illusion
that seemed real when lips kissed
and didn't wait for revelation?

Was there a rush to feel the hands
all over our bodies while our eyes
shut letting sensations work magically?
Who really was the hungriest one?
Who wanted to scream from...

What Never Changes After An Illusion
If happiness was all we wanted...
what changes after an illusion
that seemed real when lips kissed
and didn't wait for a revelation?

Was the rush to feel the hands
all over the body while eyes
where shut tasting sensations slowly?
who really was the hungriest one?
Who wanted to scream from ecstasy?
We...

Old-Rose
a wilting flower’s qualities
are just as admirable
as that of 
a freshly bloomed rose

unlike their sprightly counterparts,
shriveled flowerheads project wisdom
experience
and growth

their browning petals dangle 
with a lifetime’s worth of memories 
as their stem grows weary
from withstanding the windiest of storms

their lifeless leaves
once fed the hungriest bees
and...

Illegally Entering Russia
Never join – Please! – in taking Russia
For the less alert nations in Asia
Or choosing her own furry coat
For disguisedly sneaking into her boat.

Some Ivanovitch will be coming for you,
First amusedly radioing his crew
About “The Freshest Stowaway
To make a Human Yesterday”.

Russia doesn’t fail to get...
