Best Indeed Poems
I Googled poetry sites
one day in December
One click brought me here
to this place
this site that's
filled with verse and
rhyme and cinquain
Haiku too.
I felt lost among the
poets there were
thousands.
And one stood out
her name caught my eye.
SKAT offered a tapestry
of harmony and tranquility
beautiful vibes with warmth
that made me want to stay
She's compassionate
and insightful
I see her humanity
first hand
I told her of my son
she was real with
tenderheartedness.
Thank you, SKAT
for everything.

There
is a kind of magic
I can feel it in the air
A sprinkling ~ A sparkling
A shimmering feeling everywhere
Of joyous anticipation a time for celebration
Though my wish indeed ‘tis for our World in need
******Of human love and kindness******
***A child was born give thanks above***

Step back a while and breathe
For love is all we really need

You are the true Artist of all your days.
Choose brilliant gold, to make sunny bright
Or--black to make things fearful and led
by leaders not at all bright.
Paint with magenta, or people loving of heart,
or...
Use a thick brush in dark grays, where people
all part, and are cold of heart.
How will you paint them, then?
As a victim of circumstances.
Or one fully in charge and creating reality not a
merry happenstances.
Be the star on the tree, glowing.
Inviting, others to follow your way,
Your inspiration forever showing!

Most of us don't know that Jesus preached true salvation,
in His time, the Roman sword was very mighty;
it killed anyone without any justification...
is today different from then? How bad is society?
If it comes from above, it's love indeed;
sinners rebel against God in the way of the heathens;
they live in sin, denying that He's the giver of grace.
If it comes from above: it's love indeed;
who has faith finds serenity, prayers are songs of praise:
they can make one happy and outrage all demons.
Jesus was the Holy One: He shunned sin,
wasn't He tempted by treacherous Satan?
Didn't he resist temptation to prove him wrong?
The Prince of light can give us unimaginable wealth,
but He'll laugh at us, because our reward is death;
how do we resist Him when desire is strong?
If it comes from above: it's love indeed;
we can be saved by keeping Christ's creed.
Not everybody can carry His heavy cross,
should we ignore who mocks and throws stones?
If it comes from above: it's love indeed!

I want to know if this challenge is real,
So, please give me something that I can feel,
You must come correct,
To gain respect,
Or you, too, will one day kneel.
A real poet is what I am,
One, who occasionally likes to slam,
I think I am the best,
Better than all the rest,
Since about opinions I do not give a ......!
I am looking to have a little fun,
And I pray that you will not run,
Away and hide,
Behind your pride,
Trying to avoid what needs to be done!
I hate to sound so grim,
But your future in slam looks rather dim,
Call my name,
When you want to play this game,
And do not worry about the rest of them!
This is not a joke,
More like a little poke,
So, if you think you can
Prove that you are the man,
Then follow up on what you spoke.
Ebony shades glisten in the sun
Black curls downy and soft attract everyone
Tiny tots stroke my hair
touch my nose. tweak my ear.
I watch my friend across the way
I want to play with her if I may
But something tells me if I do
All I'll hear is shoo shoo shoo!
My best friend Patti tries her best
to keep me close when others draw near
Some are fine ,some unkind
Though their hearts I win by and by.
I love to run faster than my legs can go
but to squirrels I'm still too slow
as for birds that come to feed
They set off my allergy by scattering seeds .
My heart is full of love for all
Never one to betray a friend
loyal to the very end
My name is Nero but I am not a hero
I am Patti's best friend, faithful to the end.......Woof !
Reflecting upon his love
His inspiration
How he died
Whispering prayers
Breaking his mother’s heart and
All who wish for healing
His home is not our evil world
This sin free gift has a passionate purpose
And courage uttering “It is finished”.
Life is indeed full of surprises..
Life is so huge to understand
It pricks us to cry, and lulls us to smile
Yesterday, we were full of love
Today, we helplessly fall out of love
It buoys us up to make the most of it
And be the best of everything
It is an endless maze,and faith is the only
banner of direction to destination
A gamble that we sometimes recklessly bet
Win or lose,we are up ready to try it again
A lesson, we ,most of the time, forget,
We do the same mistake, we learn and relearn
A pain, we get over with and yet, we find ourselves
being hurt again..
A trust, we willingly give away, but once
deceived, we can hardly give it back.
We build and rebuild it..
We sacrifice, we need to, to complete
ourselves through our loved ones' success
We hope like a persistent gale, failure may be
at hand, but we just don't stop hoping..
A choice that always begets struggle
to make us strong and be humble
We dream.We need an effort to believe in it
to get through and live through.
If life is so flickery to handle, then I must hold on to
the truth that I still live and live...
it's deeds not a race
shall we ever understand!?
behavioral deeds
I woke I stretched
I scrambled out of bed
I had the need to rush
For I had a pain in the Gut
…
I headed for the Dunny
To release the cause of my pain
The pain subsided as I sat
Such relief… I’m happy again
…
But it wasn’t long before I was back again
T o visit my new found friend
A friend indeed it proved to be
Because I visited quite often
…
Black tea and dry toast
Is all that can I manage
But the pain kept returning
So on my friend I kept calling
…
Through out the day and night
On my friend I kept calling
Oh so glad my friend was close
Avoided embarrassing moments
…
A miserable time I had
For the next day or two
But my visits to my friend
Gradually reduced in number
The day you came to live with me
We both wanted a friend
To love, to care, to spend some time
No other could there have been
For you approached me smiling
A twinkle in your eye
Tail wagging with such joy
We both were hooked for life
Never a bond so tender
Never a bond so true
You snuggle up to me each day
No closer than us two
- Mary Susan Vaughn
A drop of water
little stream trickles slowly
tumbling waterfall.
A day’s of hard work,
and serious issues to handle,
though some hiccups may arise,
in order to erase these hiccups,
we need to have some fun,
and laughter is only the best medicine,
to cure on these hiccups hands on,
for this,
we may not travel afar,
just take a look at Indian politics,
quite laughable as it is,
wherein a number of issues,
had come to the forefront,
mostly related to the cap on cylinders,
and the FDI in retail,
wherein a number of politicians,
cast a number of political ambitions,
of becoming the National leader of our Motherland,
but have no concern for the citizens,
living in here,
wherein the bridge between the poor and the rich,
gets wider and wider,
it is not the pursuit of political ambitions,
which the citizens want in here,
it is the solutions to various problems,
which they want,
and as such there is no politician,
as fit enough for this purpose,
are they really fit enough,
is the question and as laughable as it is,
it is time for the younger generations,
to take the plunge into politics,
wherein they need to cast over their fear,
and political apprehensions,
and save their dear Motherland India,
from all troubles,
and to make their Motherland into a Paradise!!
R are a person is she,
A helpful friend in every way.
F un is painted across her face,
E verywhere and every place.
E ffortless she diplays a smile.
Y our heart jumps with joy to see,
A wonderful friend as she.
Dedicated to my friend Rafeeya who has always made me smile when something went
wrong..love Maryam*
