Best Lar Poems


Mongolophobia and the Eastern Horde
Neither a fable, 
Nor a tale, 
This is a fact,
A story to tell,
To everyone, female and male.
To generations, younger and frail.

About a threat, a monster from the East,
That struck the world like a beast,
Attacked Europe by cold and mist,
Oceans of horsemen, millions at least,
Ravaged cathedrals,...

Premium Member Leaking Soup
OK
Someone leaked this poem
I thought I hid it well
I didn't post on the net
and there's no one I would tell

Perhaps it's North Korea
heard they're hacking everyone
or that group they call the Lizards
just out to have some fun

Now all the time I spent 
to write it,...

Premium Member Avant-Garde
Inspired by a new contest
that has recently appeared
in The Soup.


It seems the gauntlet, (has been thrown down)
A line drawn in the sand
A challenge made to see "What's What"
To those who'll fall or stand
And strips away the accolades 
Of poems that are bland

No more X's, no...

Oktoberfest - Munich Madness
Welcome! everybody now
Europeans, Italians and otherwise

Wild birds all set to crow
Intent on pretzels and gnocchi
Liters of beer and wine prevail
Local foods will make you drool

Party-goers in the groove gear up
Arriving with cheers - Huzza!
Returning guests and those on tour 
Teetotalers too we will admit
You are...

Sad Day's of Christmas
Yes the Catheolic's will have their day, so do the Protestent and the Baptish and also

Death and Dying
Death she said 'will never come''
Im still young, well young at heart.

Mavis put on her deep red lipstrick.
I brushed her hair she laughed.

Mavis often smiled
'i was hot in my day'

I believed her as the camera never lies.
Mavis liked to dance and she would often sing...

Vernacular
whatcha mean it's not spec-tac-u-lar,
it's not the king's spoken command
the way I mean to say ver-nac-u-lar
it's just my talkin' outta hand

don't cha know how folks here talk
syntax of emotion, of little import
music to some ears, others can balk
when e-nun-ci-a-ting an angry retort

it's jus' the way...

Paper Vapor Trails
hello blank white fog of empty
familiar you of wrapping guilt
standing in the sands of time
catching at my thoughts pre empted
claymore buried to the hilt
chuckling at attempted rhyme
tilting tattered wind blown kilt
watch it lar I’m sorely tempted
Words are forming in my rage
Soon to fly at empty...

Reflete
Reflete

Reflete:
jamais viveu quem não amou.
quem não ama, não serve.

Por isso, 
serve e ama a todos 
e tudo nesta terra,

Ama os céus, os mares,
Refaz teu coração 
para outras verdades.

Não queiras nunca humilhar ninguém,
Seja mensageira da bondade;
Ensine que, com a caridade,
Os espíritos se iluminam.

Sempre as boas ações...

La pau sempre

Predicamos
pau a la Setmana Santa,
hem de predicar
la pau al món
en nacions,
a les ciutats,
entre veïns.
hem de predicar la pau
a la llar.

Si prediquem la pau a la Setmana Santa
hem de predicar als nostres cors.

La recerca de la pau i el progrés
Necessites anar més enllà de...

La sonrisa de Arcelia
vale más que
todos los billetes de un dólar

vale más que

Atrevida

Nem uma pessoa
vive em um mundo 
que não seja
o dela.

Um mundo interpretado 
não é um lar, 
atreva-se agora
a declarar 
quem você é
e faça 
mais e mais....

O Trabalho Saiu
O trabalho saiu

Creia;
o trabalho humano saiu
da fábrica 
e 
do escritório massificado. 

O trabalho humano entrou
para a comunidade e o lar.

Trabalhar é divertir-se 
enquanto trabalha
e 
trabalhar enquanto se diverte!

Trabalhar mais sempre servindo. 
Hoje, mais do que nunca,
Trabalhar mais 
E sempre servindo.
É a verdadeira essência do Trabalho...
