Best Important Poems

With age I realize
How little I really need
I came to this earth
With absolutely nothing
I’ll leave it just as empty handed
Still were I alone
And my house on fire
I wouldn’t hesitate to grab my purse
And my six framed watercolor paintings
I’d tear them right off the wall
Knowing my...

The last time I had seen this particular cousin of mine, I was still in college and he had a head full of hair. In between, there had been three funerals, two weddings and four births in our Trojan royalty of a family. I had...

if time could be traveled
I'd take America's children
on an historic adventure
to undo public school brain washing
      a time before t.v. and internet
      when kids played kick the can
      and used...

She's become lost in small
The oh so important insignificant
Living in her world of do, do
Doing so much
Accomplishing so little
Head down 
Sun shining on top of her head
Complaining about the heat
Can't look up
Too concerned about her feet
Skin once dark
Now white like a sheet

Better moments
Floating past her...

We are all the same they brag
So we can be friends
I look at them
One old one young
One toothless, one with pretty straight white teeth
One dressed shabbily, the other one a band box of beauty
I know I am missing something.
I am thirteen.
I should be able to...

Take me in
Cater to my every whim
Show me what it is to be a child
For I feel I've only ever ran wild

My unfair reviews leave all mouths agape 
I'm surely wrong, need to rewatch tape
Composite detracts from all that good
I'd splice and edit more if...

“You think you’re more important
Than you are,” my husband said,
Responding to a sadness that was
Floating in my head.

“Most people simply do not care
If you’re around or not.
It doesn’t matter if you give
As much as you have got.”

I started to object but then
I couldn’t disagree.
“Who reads...

What recently happened in Egypt is an extreme example
But evidence of violence at soccer games is fully ample

Reports of such sports violence by fans is nothing new
But that seventy people were killed is shockingly true

Fans of the...

It is difficult to get rid of the false self
A believable mask has taken years to develop
Such safety precautions demand extensive disguising
Dear i ask, why can't we all be living in the bare?

The conditioning begins at a young age
Everyone is trained to look good at...

I once thought being a period was such a drag.
I'm usually at the end of most sentences, like this one.
How dull is that? You see, a question mark get's a person curious.
And an exclamation point is filled with excitement!
But a period just follows after the...

We can live our lives together girl.
So come stand next to me.
I am here to let you know.
To try to make you see.

The most important things in life.
Were to look you in the eyes.
To...

I-mportant freedom from
N-ation of different race
D-elivers us from slavery
E-ven from colonial ways.
P-ursuit of important freedom
E-vidently shows our being worthy; 
N-ever will we lose our honor, 
D-efending with highest dignity.
E-veryone wants to rise, 
N-ever to fall what may come; 
C-ourage contains the conquerors, 
E-merging with important...

Freind’s are important as you know.
Friends to love and friends to care .
Share those dreams that are deep.
All your secrets forever to keep.

A positive thought when you lay to sleep.
A peace in knowing that they care.
Every need they’ll be happy to meet
And every problem so...
