Best Maggie Poems

She isn't beautiful as Nefertiti was.

And unlike Helen, 

her face will never launch a thousand ships.

My Maggie's beauty is more open, than entrancing

more welcoming, than enthralling, 

more giving, than demanding, 

more durable, than perfect.

Perfection inspires no passion, 

no lust.

Nefertiti over Maggie? 

Maggie, with her woman's...

~Water Skiing,Tribute to Maggie~

Ah, indeed a summer teenage delight!
My Cousin Maggie assured me, would 
make a water skier of me.
Ah, my young heart lost all frightening 
premontions and took a soaring flight.

I sat on the pier, she threw me the
dauntful handle and rope.
Fear seized me,...

"Dear man with eyes of finest wheat, I'm hungry and I have nothing to eat "

She showed up every Valentines Day to pick up her free bouquet

Come meet two of my former patients;
A nursing home room they did share
Maggie was blind; Porter became her eyes
Finding, picking up, helping her

He was kind.  Her mind had slipped - or had it?
"Porter, I lost my comb," said to mate
Frail as he was, under...

The lady Maggie we remember
Carl met her in December
Small and round ... but classy
Sexy ... sometimes sassy
Old granny her mind's in a blender

A miniature Australian Shepherd
Is the best companion for me
As we sit together on the couch
Watching afternoon TV

She does not sit for long
This hyper ball of fur
When Mom walks in the door
She jumps all over her

The attack of the Aussie Shepherd
Is a daily event around here
Yapping,...

I can remember the woman wrapped in a black shawl against the wind
Her face wrinkled with age and sorrow
Her bag of cockles held firm – a supper for the family coldly waiting      
Hard poverty her story and her plight

We called...

Today I whispered my fears to you --
Wrapped my arms around your hard body
Scales tickling the underside of my arms
You've been keeping my secrets 
     since I was ten
You were barely as big as I 
     now...

I remember the day you were born
I exclaimed Oh God not another one
As you grew older it was plain to see
The lovely woman you’d turn out to be 
Maggie my dear, we shared a room through the years 
I combed your hair, wiped away your...

Oh, Maggie-Jo Sparks, my basset hound
The best of the houndom breed
A friendlier pooch cannot be found
You are a grand ol' gal indeed!

Oh, oh Maggie-Jo you should be crowned
Queen of the Canine Race
With every terrier and spaniel around
Bow wowing your noble grace!

Maggie Skosana
cut down in your youth
for the simplest reason
telling the truth
'twas the hand of your brethren
that cast the first stone
your supporters have fled
leaving you on your own
No one came to shield you
No Police siren rang
No help for the victim
of a stone throwing gang
Your pleas for...

Margaret is a precious jewel
That comes from far and wide
She shines with such a brilliance
She cannot hope to hide.

People try to copy her
But no one gets it right
Because nothing can come close
To the iridescent sight

For Margaret is like no other
With colours set a whirl
Her name...

I don't know how it happened. 
I'll never understand.
When I got married and changed my name
I was in wonderland! 

My maiden name was ''Gasiewicz''.
Say that one ten times fast! 
So when I became ''Nagy''
I thought...some peace at last! 

It seems an easy name...
I'm simply ''Mary...

A Tea Party....she drug me into this nonsense
  ...I'd follow her to the end of the earth
Slight pang of jealousy surfaces discovering we're not alone
 A tattered bear and a ragdoll with a flopping button eye
     rounded out the guest...
