Best Illustrates Poems

Sometimes my soul 
resembles distant horizons, 
like burning stars 
abandoned between
  dusk and dawn.

When the 
     sky hangs 
as heavy as 
    my hazy heart, 
I search for a sign 
from heaven 
   to soothe...

On a still...ancient horizon,
Massive dragon wings emerge,
To the atmospheric battlefield. 
Where two legendary beasts,
Clash for the love...of a dragoness.

A battle of mythic proportions,
Of two stonily serpents in the sky.
Only three dragons remain,
The two wary warriors,
And the dragoness they fight for.

The flap of enormous wings,
Thunders the...

The jade moon no longer illustrates~
  poetry that illuminates synthetic flowers,
and the timeless trinkets of twilight,
refuse to rhyme halcyon hymns in twinkling hues.

Tonight, I sit in crippling confusion,
drawing fireflies across the onyx sky;
  suspended in painted illusion,
  searching for swirling pink diamonds.

Yet...

When we set out on a road trip
We didn’t stick to the old script
And were gladly amazed
And rarely unfazed
Hitting strange towns though some were skipped

We started from Thatsnot, OK
Which was more or less ok
But then stayed for the view
When we drove into
The town of Overlo,...

Fall tumbles relentlessly on our door steps
young winter birds inducing provoking sounds scamper in trees 
Watching winter crawling slowly under our feet.

The night rain wet the ground with sadness 
washing  away the environmental stench
purging the atmosphere of  its infectious dew
And  I could...

Music is a big part of our life to sustain
Listening to music takes the whole brain
It can also improve your memory
When someone shouts at you expertly
You become alarmed and silent
But when someone resonates for you
The sound makes you happy so he intent
If someone with a...

The protests are written from the busy pen
of the one whose thoughts are quite driven
yet she cries "foul" like a rumple feathered hen
when the thoughts of another are simply given

Her name-calling ploy is such a childish game
for each one of us has the right to...

Doomsday Clock Out of Control OR NOT?

Clock illustrates man’s vulnerability
to a catastrophic diaster.
Threat to humanity and planet
drawing nearer, faster, faster.

Last year proved perilous, chaotic
the looming threats, plus climate change.
French Pres. Said, “we’re losing the battle.”
Who should accept most of the blame?

It’s humankind that’s invented
Implements of...

Let me explain the numbers I see
The first chart illustrates the five states that flipped
Notice how close the totals are
So, when folks dismiss the evidence of fraud
As being inconsequential I think this demonstrates they’re mental 

Now as to Maricopa, it is the single county that...

The swans
By Michelle Morris
06/02/2023

Two swans swim on the ocean
Beautiful, gliding together
Love and light highlighted
Nature's infinite blessings

The waves reflect back blue cool
The sun echoes down yellow warmth
The swans are white purity in motion
The sand blending black, yellow and white stripes

The swans swim on, uncaring of labels
They...

I walked by fallen limbs and bare trees.
Without the birds, without the breeze
Summer's final rays of warmth wane.
My sadness spreads further away to explain.

I trod amid broken limbs...

A combination of Prose and Free Verse:

The most thrilling and inspirational piece of music ever to reach my 
ears is, without doubt, Handel's Messiah. I've never known anyone 
who could experience a performance and remain unmoved by this 
stirring composition. There is not a doubt...

Where, oh where, is God? 
When will the man-child stop asking why,
stop searching for the other, the greater, the bigger
the more glorious presence?

This constant need to see other than oneself as the source.
Even with a brain (and we know Frank Baum has told us 
only...

Caffeine High
He works like a well-oiled machine
But only when filled with caffeine
No power within

The caffeine is just a smoke screen
He won’t even stop for cuisine
So he’s string-bean thin



Phenomenal  woman, Carolyn Devonshire illustrates her uniqueness as poetess in this clever and witty poem “Caffeine High.”...
