Best Lot Poems

I’m so sad mom
That I’m missing the chance
To be with you on your birthday
and to watch you dance

Yet your spirit I admire
You’ll celebrate with style
With friends in a parking lot
You’ll boogie for a while

Enjoy your special night
even if it’s a bit chilly
Let others ponder
the magic...

The face in my mind
comes to stay for a time
and will not let me go
the day time crime
on which I dine
for my fantasy show

I lie in bed
to it I am lead
for quiet and pleasure
A hunger is feed

All through the day 
I see as I may...

"I swear, so help me God"
The essence of a divine oath
As Supreme Court Judge
You are now a member of the "Donald Clan"
Prosecutor buried in a black hole
Why do women not have the same impact as men?

There’s a thing called Corona that’s going around,
and the yakety-yak of it’s bringing folks down,
for it’s not like some circus that’s coming to town!
If you turn on your telly, you’ll probably hear
lots of news shows predicting this virus is near,
and the airports stand empty from...

Once commenced the fest of feasting and giving thanks for genocide,
‘Tis the season to be jolly to replace our thoughts of suicide.

Santa claws his way into a child’s mind insidiously, 
And the air begins to reek again of yuletide idiocy.

The bliss of belief in an...

Sometimes a day just like any other

That began or started carrying
forward all of yesterday's woes
into yet another 

Can sometimes just end up availing
that sinking feeling in the pit of one's 
stomach

Into something that you haven't felt
in so long it comes across as totally
foreign

And simply all...

The Scarecrow, he was born without a brain 
And the Tinman got all rusted from the rain 
Because the Tinman had no heart 
And because the Scarecrow was smart 
Instead of walking to Oz, he'd taken a train...

Laugh a lot
Because when you do
The edges of hardened problems
Crumple away to dust... Smile!

* This was written for the It Means a lot to me Contest, but it looks like I missed the deadline.

Nature means a lot to me - 
God’s creation is a gift to cherish
I’ve lived with nature my entire life
From sunrise to sunset, decorated skies
The...

The father said,"Kids, God told Lot,"
"Take your wife and flee from the city!"
"His wife became salt, looking back!"
On their faces, he saw pity

 "They were not suppose to look back,"
The father said, "I guess you see,"
"We should always do what God asks!"
 The boy said,"Yes,...

 after Dilly Dally

She bought a button
to be pinned on vintage dresses
to be placed back on the lacquered shelf
after another day at the gallery:
getting lost in brushstrokes
of light and shadow,
transported like an Echo
reverberating on gilded frames

It's been sixty years
and the vintage dress has been
dry cleaned...

Grains of sand 
hiding small burrows;
every tiny sand crabs, the Emerita Analoga
needs its burrow.
intense sunlight’s warm but
has its dangers, even for a tiny crab’s skin.
xiphosurans, cousins to the sand crabs,
don’t need to stress and 
worry about the sun
as unless they are upside down, it won’t...

A man's lot is not for a woman to bear,
A man's lot is not for a woman to replace,
A man's lot is not for a woman to excuse,
A man's lot is not for a woman to direct,
A man's lot is not for a woman to...

We don't see the stars as we once did.
We've lost contact now, 
we live indoors.
We've lost the mythology of stars,
our ancestors once had.
They were glued to the celestial display at night, 
and the stories and omens it told them.
Even when city-dwellers venture out at night,...
