Best Match Poems

Spring is here - scents the air
You've come from somewhere
Moving in next to my home
Your aura blooms bright n' warm

I'm Already thinkin' here's a new friend
I'm Already thinkin' here's a new friend
                       
Nice to meet...

I read Darryl Ashton’s poem Called Pinocchio Rex and this brought back 
memories of a childhood incident

When I grew up we had a smallholding – the house was called ‘Longacre’ as we 
had over an acre of land.  Over the years we had chickens,...

She sat huddled in an alleyway, frozen to the bone
Shivering with the clutch of matches that she sold.
She hadn't sold a match, but so longed to go home
To warm her naked feet from cobblestone so cold.

Shivering, with the clutch of matches that she sold,
She lit...

Insignificant,
My proses are nothing without you-
but scribbles, through and through
I dream a dark weary blur
of letters, a phrases, going by in a flur-
Even that; my thoughts seeming simple
even then it lacks luster given by you-
the additions you contribute more than do

I stand naked by the mirror
Looking at myself
I look like ummm
Something off a dusty shelf

My ribs stick out
You could play them like a harp
And my eyes bulge out my head
Like a half squeezed Chihuahua pup

My legs they call them lucky
They like two fighting swords
I have...

as sharp as an axe
wielding words to burn down worlds~
           
           kinship split like wood

All is black;
and you cry as 
darkness
overwhelms you
cringing all alone
in the dark;
helpless,
confused and
frightened.
Do not weep,

may be coaxed to life;
but 'twill ne'er be the first.

Go ahead, grab the matches, grab the candles,
everything you need to start that fire.
Light that first flame.
Revel in...

A holder for shoes on my door
is hanging almost to the floor.
Different colors each pair
gives me options to wear
the best match for the clothes I adore.

With at least thirty-four pairs of shoes
it should be rather easy to choose
what to put on my feet,
yet I'm met...

Cancer Was the Match, 
That Set My Fields on Fire
Written: by Tom Wright
12/2/2014 

The path in life that I formerly pursued,
Whether aptly marked or vegetated trail;
Found most days all too frequently skewed,
So I sought God’s face to help me prevail.

For the thing staring at me...

If you don't do bat in time 
You may be out by catch....

During one game
The umpire noisily cried
"Deuce!"
So I politely replied
"Orange please!"...

"Life is like a chess match 
To win you must be swift and able to maneuver 
Yes, life and the chess match are very much the same 
Once the king dies, no others continue the game"

The shape of the pawn represents the...
