Best Ideal Poems
spring gifts us with ideal breezes - joyous fragrant kisses of bliss
if i could
if i were brave
i’d leave my job
i’d be an artist
adventurous and audacious
i’d be extravagant
and listen to opera
as loud as loud can be
fearlessly I’d dabble
on the edges of insanity
i’d paint murals
with the boldest colors
bringing joy to
every passerby
i’d put an end
to injustice
to poverty
as well as sadness
i’d get on a plane
and fly around the world
i’d climb the Everest
to Katmandu
i’d run to meet
the dalai lama
sit by his feet
and somehow
through osmosis
soak up his peace
and crystal wisdom
i’d fly east in sync
with every sunrise
then turn around go west
to capture every sunset

The beau idéal of art commemorates Frida Kahlo's
Habitual self-portraits donning Mexican dahlia halos
Worshiped feminist by LGBTQ & Chicano cult artsy
Wife of master mural painter both activists in leftist party
I am looking for someone
Who is not so handsome
Enough for me is a simple man
And a true gentleman
He must be kind and understanding
Thoughtful, sincere and caring
Sweet, spiritual and loving
Intelligent and with bearing
One who can dominate me
And yet pamper me like a baby
Treat me as a lady
And will respect me truly
I want him to be tender
Faithful and loyal as ever
Patient and will not surrender
One who will love me forever
~Chrisna Vergara
An Ode To Vera Selena (Osburn) Hinshaw
It takes a very special lady to be an ideal Air Force wife,
To face the many challenges and vicissitudes of Air Force life.
Even though it meant moving every few years to a different place,
You became a seasoned veteran as we moved from base to base.
You made a house a home whether in the states or foreign lands.
I marveled at your flexibility and left things in your capable hands.
When moving through the ranks and Lord knows at times money was tight,
But you worked marvels with hamburger meat and taters much to my delight!
You understood when I was called to duty and missed family celebrations,
But you pressed on, nurturing the girls and kept busy with various organizations.
As we advanced in rank you met social obligations with pride and grace.
You taught Sunday School and Girl Scouts leaving each base a better place!
You supported me and helped me earn each stripe I wore upon my sleeve,
Plus the various commendations and medals I was honored to receive.
Honey, thanks for standing by me - these accolades are well deserved.
The girls and I are very proud of you, since you also faithfully served!

In an ideal society,
folks wouldn't smoke,
Youngsters would not indulge
in coke, and there wouldn't be
people who were gay,
but, in the real world
it is not that way,
and although many may think
that being gay is sinning,
Wouldn't it be better if
they legalized their feelings,
There would be less diseases
and promiscuity,
Living a close to "normal" life
creates sanctity,
God loves them despite their
preferences,
Who are ordinary folks to treat
them with indifferences.......?
In that ideal world which I will never see,
would I find the rules revolve around me?
No I think that they are best equal for all,
with none at any other's beck and call.
For as long as there are slaves and underdogs
so will strife remain to break down those cogs
that otherwise could run a smooth society,
with everyone getting home in time for tea.
While the few continue to abuse their power,
the losses for others mount hour by hour,
imagine for a moment if all had equal rights,
would there be any cause for brutal fights?
Look around and it is clear to see that pain
is generated by those that ever plan to gain
a bigger slice of the resources that we all need,
with many wars started just to satisfy their greed.
No communism in politics was ever shown to shine,
the need for change is purely within our minds,
as force in any guise destroys without care
and that is no way for us to learn how to share....

A mathematics teacher
Mute but not deaf…
Man and women
Not complaining about their pains…
People giving
Without expectations….
With no judgment….
With no attachment…
Old men and women
Smiling…
Youngsters too
Smiling…
Looking at future
Which is just now!
A satire by Elton Camp
“To find what type of job you are best fitted to and then to secure an opportunity to pursue it, is the key to happiness.” -- John Dewey
For me, it’s now too late to do
As my working days are through
For young folks about to begin
There’s one I’d recommend
The pay’s fair and the work’s steady
The skills you need you have already
Don’t build a load of student debt
A college degree, no need to get
If you can talk, hear and key
Then you’re likely home free
It’s not work in the blazing sun
You can quit when the day’s done
The work is all performed inside
From cold, there’s no need to hide
If a layoff should ever come around
Another like it is very easily found
This job is one that’s ample
Of your day, here’s a sample
“Mr. Jones, how are you today?”
Mealtime is when it’s best to say
“I’m giving you a chance to buy
It’s great, as I’d never, ever lie.”
“Our product is so incredibly neat.
Without it, your life is incomplete.”
“Your credit card is all that I need
To handle it with the greatest speed.”
Being a telemarketer is what I propose
For no jobs are more worthy than those
Separating the sucker from his dough
Will give you a happy, contented glow
An ideal husband doesn’t argue,
He never squabbles or swears,
Only about his wife he cares.
He always says kind words,
Doesn’t do anything that hurts.
Doesn’t play cards or guzzles away money,
Days and nights repeats: You are my honey!
Out of the rest he is much wiser,
He is not poor or a miser.
In all he is good and so nice,
Always gives a good advice.
An ideal husband is very strong,
And his wife is never wrong.
Even in bed he is the best,
Every day with him is a fest.
At other women he never looks,
And plus to that he nicely cooks.
He is so handsome and not boring,
And you will never hear him snoring.
His wife is blameless and so gorgeous,
She goes out and he’s not jealous.
In all his wife he loves to assist.
Does such a husband really exist?
It seems he can be found only in dreams.

Let us immigrate like birds
Looking for homeland
You are a woman
But you are not as all women
You are the homeland
You are a woman from among
Women of the world
The world …where is the world?
The world is a cave.full of nymphs
And you are the nymph of this world
I will write about you
Till I make you a saint...

Faithful to lead as God directs,
Fearful if failure God detects.
Alert to danger along the way,
Attentive to rightly God’s will obey.
Tearful if children go astray,
Thankful if in god’s way they stay.
Heartily encouraging through every trial,
Helpfully teaching all the while.
Eager in his duties to advance,
Engaged in righteous, faithful stance.
Reaching out to those in need,
Rightly dispensing God’s life-giving seed.
IDEA IDEAL TO DIE FOR
As much as we celebrate the organization of liberation
We also celebrate those that birthed the idea
Heroes come and go but their idea live forever
Life victory is rooted in he who perceive the path of freedom
Neither turning to the left or right just focused on the ultimate goal
Choosing to die or die trying that JUSTICE of Human Right must prevail
This is the IDEA IDEAL DYING FOR - Peace, Love and Life
Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr and Many More
They all lived and die for an Idea that was ideal to die for
The greatest LIFE, is the person that sacrifice his life for others
What if Mandala Sold the future, the Idea that cost him 30plus years in prison?
If it was you, would sacrifice your life – I mean idea worthy dying for
Knowing that you will never live to enjoy the benefits your blood
This is the IDEA IDEAL DYING FOR - Justice, Liberty and Charity
Why burry your head in the sandy of idealess freedom
Your life is worthless if it is all ingrained in your selfish benefit
Myles Munroe Said problem solvers should be paid more
Because their ideas benefit everyone – what is your idea?
That is why the IDEA of Purpose discovery for nation development was IDEAL to die for!
And still the idea for POVERTY eradication is ideal standing for
This is the IDEA IDEAL DYING FOR - Freedom, Family and Friends
(Anthony Ngabwe)

God,
In His infinite wisdom,
The ideal world has in heavens,
Infallibly painted
Which
Upon the soul of Man was
Reflected
Since then
Man,
Ceaselessly, has been trying
God’s art to reproduce on earth
But
To no avail!
