Best More Giving 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...

Missing Teeth
                   Authored by Chuck Keys

a rainbow walked into my room
pretty enough to bloom
pink and purple with smiling missing 
teeth, happy as a butterfly cutely reminiscing

fulfilled deep...

I was less once
The day before I met you
Before I saw myself through your eyes
Before I believed I was worthy of a forever love
A completing love
I didn't know
I didn't understand
That I could love someone
The way that I love you
Moments have turned into years
and years feel...

You think it a lie, seeing that
old man in the mirror: some
imposter taking your name,
living in your house, calling
out to your wife as though
he had married her 40 years 
ago and not you... what can
the old fellow want of you,
you wonder, and would ask,
but you...

So, granny, they tell me you died yesterday
i wish i could have known you better,
i wish i knew the stories you had,
of love and loss, of joy and sorrow,
I could sit for hours, listening, and learning
A sweet old lady, with a long history, how beautiful...

One of the most positive writes i have witnessed to date
Was written today and well worth the wait
An awesome Quatrain, by this Devonshire poet
If you have read her past writes, you would certainly know it
 
What we see in our world now, is what she...

By David J. Materazzi

Laying in bed
Can't stand or walk
The day has come
No more talk.

I see it in my mind
I feel it in my heart
I took the first steps
Now that's a start.

It's time to get up
It's time to get on my feet
No more giving up
Until my...

Favors taken for granted, often will cease to be granted.
People won't keep giving, giving, and more giving,
If the receivers aren't willing to at least recognize
The efforts or means sacrificed in their behalf.

Granted, 'altruism' is a wonderful characteristic to possess;
The concept is even referenced in the...

There is No -

There is no authority more apropos.
There is no beauty more breathtaking.
There is no concept more compassionate.
There is no dream more dazzling.
There is no evaluation more eternal.
There is no fantasy more fabulous.
There is no grace more giving.
There is no humility more honorable.
There is...

TAGORE ON 

I just happened reading Rabindranath Tagore’ s poem called “The Gardener.” 

The Gardener XL: An Unbelieving Smile

					“……the dark rim of your eyes.
						Then smile as archly as you like
						when I come again.”

I am a Wheel, my blood flows inward
Of its spokes.
I am a Star,
My...

A person may not know the happiness,
They bring to others.
A simple action or phrase,
Could be the thing that brightens a day.
My day,
 His day,
Or her day.
What a wonderful day.

The energy a person generates,
Is like the electricity from a battery.
Or the light from the sun.
There is...

Don't forget the special sounds
you have heard in your life.
Like the whisper of a child
the cooing of your wife

The sound that a bird makes
as it sits outside your panes
The pattering on the roof
of a midsummer's rain.

The sound of the ocean
in a beach's shell
The sound that...

Slip do dah!
Slip my way
Sliding slick surfing time dismay
Who is to say
When winds blow
Anchors distill today
Carried cases of bait to start the day
Who is to say
How many will I catch today
Prosperity some will pay
Others to fill the baskets of bull winkles tray
Laugh today
Some scenes of...
