Best Loses Poems

When I was just just a little girl I thought I knew it all 
But as the years passed by I have never felt so small 
I never knew what life would be like without you teaching me 
But now I'm lost and am scared...

She was never on time
bought her a watch
she loses things too

Now that he's without him
what is he working for
He had never truly realized
His dad drove him to want more
With working came acceptance
replaced emotions he concedes
and his father unavailable,
he kept his schedule filled with deeds,
When his father passed away
it broke him to the core
just learning he...

The Air Traffic Controller Loses It

By Elton Camp

In a job where there's lots of stress
It is all too easy to create a mess

Bob was so exhausted he flipped out
And forgot what his job was all about

He sent the same message to every plane
No longer on...

Santa lost his “NAUGHTY or NICE” list this year, 
What happened to the helpful elves he hired?
Which SPOILED children will exuberate in cheer, 
which one of his elves will ultimately be fired?
What kind of devised SCHEME has transpired?

So many questions with unknown facts,
Who is responsible...

True love never dies
For love never loses its own
Love is only as far away as the tips of the fingers....

Dependable Defender Jésus Christ of Nazareth Football Club

This morning lost His appeal for the red card He received

During His side game with the highly rated Pharisees

He’ll  be unavailable for their match against the Sadducees

"We won't have a society if we destroy the environment." 
- Margaret Mead 



It's time to face the facts, Jack, Jill; 
give the marsh back to the ocean, 
move uphill. Give the river back 
its mouth, the shore to the sea. 
It's way past time...

Many thousands of bright stars, will guide Santa tonight.
    On a cold Christmas Eve, through snow crisp and deep.
    Now Santa's sleigh's laden, with lots of new toys.
    All gifts for small children, now in dreamland...

The poetical books are nearly, by me, complete;
Next follows those once-furled, parchmentlike
Scribal tablets on which were calligraphically 
Indited the books classified as 
Naught but "prophetical"-
After the major and minor scribes, 
The authors of which, and those of the first grouping of the 
Newer set of...

....happening a few hours north and west of where I live in Minneapolis


Bulldozers pushed earth into mounded walls all along the watchtower. 

Wild Sunflowers, roots exposed, gasped for life, uncomfortablysideways, faces driven into 

mud.Stun-gun wires, the few that escaped the eyes of the cleaners, barbed...

We're now into the year of twenty twenty three
And still there's no solution to see eye to eye
Will we learn since descending from the trees
Or are we everending to simply walk on by

Lifes global insecurities amidst epidemic rife
Whilst conglomeration greed suffocates souls
Lacerating lives like a...

Grandma hid her ticket-where? No one knew

She hadn’t a clue what Grandpa might do

     When he lit the chimney fire

     Grandma wanted to expire

She was thinking ‘bout what flew up the flue

No One Loses At "Strip Jeopardy!"
by Rick Rucker

My late wife and I used to play it with glee,
Saying "No one loses at 'Strip Jepoardy!'"

Answer a question right, then you see,
You don't have to shed clothes, you are covered completely!

Answer it wrong, your clothes you take...
