Best Mo Poems

I could pound her head against a brick wall
or find some modicum of logic to install
but those would probably do no good at all
for she is filled with bitter anger and gall

Do these words portray someone you know
If I could change her attitude, I'd make...

Rest your head and dream
safe and secure amidst

Where do all the great poets go?
If you ask me so, I would say, "I don't know"
There must be some hidden pain
Writing poems relieves their brain
Dear ones are their poems greatest foe

Where do all the great poets go?
Ask the river, ask the melting snow
They may...

Another new friend here on the Soup
Is Mo, for her I'd jump through hoops
Lives in our capital
She's still quite rational
Couriered her way into my heart... no poop!...

My country is Ireland so green.
I am it's poetry queen.
So much to admire,
my muse is on fire.
Inspired by beautiful scenes.

Today we celebrate St Pat.
I'll be wearing green for that.
Like it always would,
the craic will be good.
With my shillelagh and crooked hat.

Three little words, “I'll love you to infinity”
Okay, please don't write me a letter
I realize it's five little words but who cares
Five words are probably better

To prove the depth of my deep devotion
I'll use all the tricks in the book
Must be showing on my time-weathered...

Unsung on the world stage
Heroes of the African continent
Diverse lingo, diverse souls
Capture minds capture hearts
Most unappreciated
Their rhythm echoes
Their wisdom ancient
Music unconventional
Yet heavily intoxicating
From Papa Wemba "show me the way"
I gyrate to Kofi to Fela Gola "vita imana"
I don't have to understand
My hips do as I...

(My apologies! This poem is wrtten in Filipino....for my brother Edwin...i hope to translate it one day)


Noong tayoy mga bata pa...
Wala akong maalala....
Na sa akin ay nakipaglaro ka....
Pwera lang sa pagkakataong nag iisa....

Noon ay katabi kita....
Isang maliit na plastic aking nakita....
Na isinuot ko sa aking...

Nang sa mundo ako ay nagkamulat
Sa isipan ko’y hindi ikaw ang hinangad,
Pangarap na maging ano o sino
Ang siyang sa puso ko’y namumuno.

Nang lisanin ko na ang sekundarya
Napatigil ako sa isang banda,
Bakit kaya noon kaydali mangarap?
Bakit kaya ngayon sobrang kayhirap?

Parang tinik sa lalamunan ang pagpili
Nang kursong...

Sa maghapon ikaw ang laman ng isip ko
Sa gabi, sa pagtulog, ikaw pa rin ang laman ng utak ko, 
Saan nga ba ako susuling, saan nga ba ako pupunta? 
Hindi ko alam bakit nasumpungan kita.

Ang pag-ibig mo na nasa kabilang ibayo
Ang sarap pangarapin, maramdaman ng...

Nach Bhfuil Mo Locht 
or for you English speaking people
"No Mea Culpa"


The Titanic was fine when it left Belfast
Not a blemish on Her hull, or on her deck
The crew must have done something awful
"Cause now She's a tangled twisted wreak 
In mint condition, She was...

Mo Money, Mo Money
Written: by Tom Wright
February 2015

You can’t be motivated by money
If a man is unwilling to do more
Than paid for,
He will seldom get paid more 
For what he is doing;

More money 
Won’t motivate you to work harder
Or help others,
Your heart determines what you...

That's not MY elephant!
A spiteful conceited elephant that ran away from the circus
MY elephant provides copies of the Bill Of Rights to all 2nd graders in Macon County
Considers fund-raising possibilities of selling elephant ears at Zippy Zoo Days
The kids will bring their white elephants and...

I woke up angry 
I let the nightstand feel the wrath of my fist 
My tear well had long dried 
I could no longer cry 
Instead I felt a strange dry 
I was at a fiery place 

My head was heavy and my thoughts were...
