Best Ligon Poems

you ... are the paramour of right angles
the square of a square - complete, quite aware
how two must adore you
for all it sees is itself, reflected
an angular fist - quite the narcissist
and the first number, sublime, that is NOT a prime
you move with order ......

LEONARDO

Lion, known well as King of the beasts,
Exemplary in strength and brawn,
Obdurate, he knows his passionate will as
Nature calls from his haughty roar has 
Animals running and hiding with fear.
Regarded and revered by his pride and
Diurnal in his grassland habitat, he is protector
Of his pride,...

I

I Slip-
into   a dreamy dream-
and I am falling
into a greenforest

lost   in a    sea of trees

they are sobeautiful
the drums of time cease
clouds sail in the
sky

oh my life is weather-stained-sad

I imagine
myself a tree   g r a c e...

Timothy, name of Greek origin, meaning 'God’s honor'
Intellectual, spiritual and profoundly connected with nature
Man of strength and simplicity who deeply feels compassion
On his lifelong journey looks for the guiding light from up above
Thankful for every benevolent sign along his path
Humility and kindness emanate from the...

My personal favourite

She ran; madly she ran,
asking for mustard seeds,
only some, a little,
a handful of mustard seeds
to cure her son.

She ran; madly she ran
from one house to another,
where none had ever died,
asking for mustard seeds,
from a family of immortals.
“She is mad; her endeavor is mad;
it's...

She was lying there, just barely alive
Medically, nothing more could be done for her
So she was sent home to spend her remaining days
Her husband and two teenage children were by her side
Her siblings and friends had gathered to touch and to love

As friends, my wife...

I'm in a crowded place.  

 Others brush my limbs. 

 We look so much the same,

 I easily fit in. 

 No one knows my name. 

 I am one of them,

 firry and firm with

 a little junk in the trunk.

With quiet reservations he admires

Attuned to all that senses captivate

To sift thru information he acquires

Considering how it may thus relate

He studies all with intimate precision

For his or any sake that might arise

Unless the fates intend on a collision

Leave supervision to HIS private eyes.

Cheerfully “showing signs of glory” as her name means clearly
Love of God brightens her compassion-radiance along Christ’s light
Empowered by the Saviour Whom she serves with earnestness
Offering her best to reach-out with the Lord’s grace to others
Fervently faithful in her stewardship fulfillment
Ever-abiding in the Almighty’s will,...

Go, go my dear butterfly
On to the garden of flowers you go
Don’t ever funk to flutter in wind
'll be watching your funny leaps.

So gracious from flower to flower
Gliding and swimming through the air
Rather than flapping your little wings
As an artist you turn and twist.

Coming and...

Blessed with God’s wondrous goodness
my three siblings and I* were privileged 
to bask in our parents’ graciousness
gladly we indeed acknowledged.

Love prevailed in all corners of our home
may it be North, East, South or West*
securing us well inside haven-dome
where we share family bonding zest.

As kids, we...

My demons walk in step 
with my aching legs
knowing where my toes are soft
how heavy last night was
where I might choose to stand
when resolution isn’t mine
they beg me to stay, to be wrong
even when I’m resolved to move
they know my spirit’s name
and that he’ll flex...

Mine is a connection twix body and soul
Beliefs based on values, the earth as a whole;
In league with creation of moon and the stars,
To strings am related on tenor guitars.
In marriage enable the vows to confirm
Ensure that relations in love will stay firm.
Extend pragmatism in...

Brother you were the boy that grew into a great man.
Running cars were your joy.
Offering advice was your line.
The day you passed I was left alone.
Heaven now has one more angel.
Eternally you will be missed.
Recognized for our strong resemblance.
