Best Liked Poems

She liked picking flowers, I liked growing them

She liked picking flowers,
I liked growing them
Her basket filled with pretty blooms,
freshly on the stem

She walked into my garden,
scented sweet and true
I tended to my marigolds
with tiny buds so new

She saw my Gerber daisies,
just smiling in the sun
Then...

She Liked Butterflies

With a youthful spirit;
She laughed in the breeze.
Dancing in the wind;
Lighting on trees.

Golden haired child;
A laugh like sunshine.
Beautiful , free, and wild;
Artistically inclined.

One day she decided to fly away;
In a letter she said her good-byes.
When asked about her, I say;
She liked butterflies.

Her spirit...

Down by Hope Street where the frangipanis bask,
And the Goddess of Love has put up her tent,
Lives a lady with fire in her eyes and cats in her kitchen.
Oh of course I will tell you she's an angel if you ask,
And her magic lies in...

I actually liked you
But there's nothing I can do,
We could never work out
Until you learn to love you

When I first met you
I thought you were cute
But then you started changing,
I guess you thought it was cool

To be Mr. Tough Guy
With a bad attitude
Just arrogant. Cocky.
Reckless...

He liked ravioli for breakfast,
Lasagne for lunch, 
Spag bol for supper,
Every day,
It was getting past a joke....

Wildfires in my condemned heart
Spread like infections in the shallow dark of my hopelessly desperate bedroom
Lit firecrackers hanging from the corners of my melancholy sheets 
Like romantic candlesticks with deceptive intentions 
Ready to pull me apart into their flames

She said
She’ll never love me, it always...

I liked her hair long
my bronze pennant in a slight breeze,

smiling face framed in the soft light
dappled skin through broken trees,

timeless smile hinted laughter
hidden under locks both coy and bold

as we smiled at our time together
secured now young and soon as old,

grasping hands
grasping eye
grasping at...

Dwight D. Eisenhower, a heroic general in World War Two
  Elected thirty-fourth President of the USA in 1952 

Fondly remembered as an American Golden Age 
  His era had its fair share of turbulence and rage
    on both the domestic...

Dislike the Liked

There are reasons why I dislike you
But there are no reasons why I dislike you
Let’s make sense out of non-sense
I dislike you because I like you

I hoped to find the evil in you
You showed me none
I hoped to find infidelity 
You showed me...

Mattie & I
on the stream of
 
Soda Can 
the heavenly hills

Of Hats.
The howling husked heard;

Just The Night Owls
And the waxes of weltering wobble of worms

All In Dreams

Then:
 I rollover
And see Mattie
Swift asleep forever
And whimpering…

 Aches
And I never eat-
Till Mattie wakes-
From his sleep:

Ma,
Leaping off the crown of a candle,
A hot bead without hold or handle,
Blobbed as us all on the bee-smell body of a star.

Air,
Shushing from the womb of her shell room,
The leant lung's slow snore looping her loom,
Muddled with the booze which bruised her peaceful as...

“THE POEM MY MOTHER LIKED”


smoking a cigarette in the bathroom 
at 4 p.m. I wonder what my son is doing; 
I wonder if court will run smooth. I sit in 
the midst of my greatest trial, trying to 
keep from losing it. my son knows...

She liked it with nuts
No ifs, ands...
