Best Inger Poems

Labeled as a healthful

Like sugar, but with a 
Long-lasting, stronger taste!
Lollipop licks of it
Linger on my tongue. I
Love its unique flavor!

Father of three
Arthur by name, the arts were his passion
Teacher of accounting, Little League, whistling
Heard on radio performing original children’s stories
Even tempered, steadfast mentor and protector
Raised by an aunt to be the father he never had
Singer, dancer, player of the sax and clarinet

Dad, this Father’s...

I woke to the sound
of tears echoing
form a downspout
Heard the sobbing 
whispering between 
the leaves
As I listened in 
the stillness 
I heard moans

I walked around 
my so called garden 
with cup in hand 
my toes all wet
From tears of the Angels 
who...

Layers of meat and cheese,
Lined with flat, thin pasta,
Looking, smelling, tasting
Like it's heaven-sent, I
Love the savoury tang,
Letting the sauce and spice
Linger on my taste buds.

N-ever wane nor waver; 
G-o on to beat the clock
E-ither foot won't

H-eart is where the love is, 
A-lthough anger at times does enter; 
Z-one of affection is alive, 
E-ndless joy will never

A-ll good plans that eventually change.

D-evotion's domicile beats in...

Unsigned: the bullet that entered my chest
No sender’s name and no sender’s address
So be this my lot then I shall find peace
In knowing I died a hero at least

Go now my brothers and crush this assault 
No man that dies here shall have died for...

B-e a safe pair of hands, 
A-im to be trustworthy; 
D-on't delay, do the job, 
E-vading the bench neath the

Z-ealously work under the sky.

The garden Brightens, a vibrant array,
Where shadows Linger, now softly they fade.
A tender Opening, at close of the day,
Each delicate Outline, so finely displayed.
The sun's gentle touch, a warm, golden hue,
A quiet Moment of nature to view,
With beauty that’s timeless, brightly unfolds,
Such intricate secrets the...
