Best Narrow Down Poems

`

I have so many friends on soup,
it’s hard to pick just one
To narrow down to just a few,
it just cannot be done

Heidi always brings a smile
Brenda tempts my heart
Sandy posts poetic dreams
Connie’s whispered art

Gershon really makes me laugh
Maureen, she can write
Hello There and Andrea
make my...

Obsession was a song that got to me
reminding me of what I had gone through,
the first time feelings gushed as poetry!

Even though that song did not exactly
describe my circumstance, some parts rang true.
Obsession was a song that got to me.

A rare and gorgeous butterfly was...

in search of one clear archetype
that marks reality; what is it...
every thing at all,
or nothingness?

Each opposite, a fodder 
rich indeed to test for truth.
Each has its champions,
and each brings deep contempt.

So let us wallow with them;
It does...

Three lines from Sonnet 191: "The Waiting Sleep"

I'm drifting with the leaves as they change hue,
concealed among them as they fall to ground.
And as they crumble, I'll be crumbling too. . .

I could never really narrow down to just one
favorite poem or line, so I...

Dear friend and poetess Connie Wong
wrote poetry as lovely as a song.
Reading others’ poems was her passion.
If words were clothes, she was always in fashion.

Sweet Carolyn Devonshire
was a poetess many could admire.
So generous was she
and also a good friend to me!

Sir David Austin, simply called...

I made a pile, a list of things 
   The things that make me smile
       To narrow down these many things...it took me quite awhile

It started out as a mild itch
Within the next few hours, my eyes began to twitch
So I go to a Doctor named Damon Willis
He examines me and asks me have I heard of country singer named Mel Tillis
I tell ye and ask why such an...

The Poetical Jason Voorhees who creates beauty out of ugliness
I've learned how to turn my darkest memories into the loveliest
Pick your weapon of choice, I'll use my pen and you'll still leave the bloodiest
Speak my mind, I'm not going to soften it or cushion it
I...

the tears fall, but i'm not crying...

manage to put a smile on my face, but i'm not happy...

i look in your eyes and tell the truth...

i look deeper into my own heart and find the lies...

the truth unfolds like our favorite stories end...

I squint my eyes
Trying to narrow down 
on how I feel
Is it melancholy?
Happiness
Tinged with sadness
Or it's a hue
Am I just feeling blue?

It's an odd feeling 
Yet I am calmly settled as it washes  across the shores of my mind
I am fascinated by it's visit
Wondering...

What do I reach for first? the rule of my land….
Pudding, and I quite honestly do not care what brand.
I love chocolate, caramel, and butterscotch too.
Adding whipped cream. M and M’s? Maybe a few.

I warm the pudding up in the microwave of course.
Remembering Mom’s pudding,...

Decisions are much easier
When choices that you face
Are limited enough that you
Find one you can embrace.

For when so many options
Are presented, you might find
It all so overwhelming that
You’re really in a bind.

You weigh the pros and cons of each
And then you might get stuck
Or possibly...
