Best Needs Poems

Young and pretty, living a normal life
Suddenly her world would never be the same
Her lovely boy born with special needs
Her daily life now the toughest of games

She carries on with her head held high
Having a career, still being his mother
Constantly dealing with medical issues
Yet she...

Where does the 
    selfless sun hide
when heavens
r a i n bloodstones? 
Burned and inscribed, 
from monsoon monsters,
gnawing at our bones,
the shimmering 
  darkness imbibed,
If only drifting 
shades 
   of gray, 
where the tempests

Princess just wants a new car.
I have told her that hers will go far.
'Oh, it's really not cool
driving this crap to school.'
'Do I need that emotional scar? '

'The kids will all laugh at the rust.
When we race, I'll be left in the dust! 
I will...

I've read many accounts on that horrific war that was WWI ,it was supposed to end all wars.
It was trench warfare and men fought and died in hellish conditions.
It inspired me to write this fictional verse.



The posters said come fight with us and make your...

The rainbow needs a new name. 
What it should be I don’t know.
Its name before Babel surely a song.
Shimmering, glistening, magical thing!
Outlandishly colored, and elusive. 
Common and yet somehow rare.
Momentary, yet ancient.
Its power only doubted when hidden.
In its presence we are left without words.
Brilliant men...

Just as in real life, some poets have the art of wearing masks of friendship.
You will know, when they stop...

There are so many people who will stand up
In the cause of speaking for others, but
What is the motivation for this act
I mean what do they gain to be more exact
I mean, they speak for some, but who will speak for all 
Whose Life is...

Why is life so difficult?
All the time I wonder, 
Why I stand against lightening 
But I cower from the thunder.

Lightening is life. 
It’s what causes me to make a choice. 
The sweet yet forceful sound 
Of thunder is the sound of your voice.  

When...

I know her routine, she told me today, 
I know what lives in her soul,
I know her small quirk, that she thinks of the most, 
I know what keeps her mind whole,

You see, she lives by the seven, she loves how it’s prime, 
It’s more...

We quarreled, argued, fought  but she was unfair,
"Write me a poem then Shakespeare", she taunted.
Then threw pen and paper on the table as a challenge.

"C'mon Lover", she snarled trying to hurt me, "get busy."
I picked up the pen and tried to think of something...

Why do people walk away
     Am I so easy to leave
Despite the effort and the love
     Too often, I grieve

Do I do the same to others
     Have I done so in the past
Is...

MRS. CATHY NEEDS SOME SNOW

I called up the thunder; I called up the rain;
I left a message; and gave them your name.
  I left a deposit; at Your Rent to Own;
  As soon as they get some; they'll deliver it home.
I  e...

If I drove to the mountain top,
	could I talk to God?
If He spoke when I reached
	would He say I treat the planet odd?
If I swam to the ocean floor,
	could I talk to a squid?
If he spoke to me when we met
	would he speak of the...

Smoke ladened vision
scratching at my eyes
    making them cough,
conversations drift
across the panorama
  of my hearing.
(the world needs more poets)

Words rattle, 
     separate conversations
    combining,
       melding,
  sinking up...

Wanting to belong is not what is wrong,
it’s over longing about belonging.
It could be the problem is in the seed,
maybe you’re showing an unfulfilled need.

Overexposing our expectations,
may derail developing relations.
What most people want is a sensation,
a gradual feeling of elation.

People want to see a to...
