Best Old Times Poems

Bumped into a friend
just yesterday
I was driving my car
and she got in the way

She said nothing was broken
the impact was minor
Mostly bruises and cuts
and a pretty good shiner

I took her to breakfast
and told her a joke
She was laughing so hard
she started to choke

I gave her...

Old Times and New

I travel in my wandering mind
To a different day and time
Back to the mid-40's
When a cute young secretary was I.

Back when dresses marked size 14
Are current day skimpy 10s,
That's where this reminiscing poem
Is about to begin.

Copying documents or research for themes
Required an...

Not everyone enters the priesthood
To molest a child
Not everyone enters politics
To become corrupt
Not everyone becomes a prostitute
To earn money
Priests, politicians and prostitutes
May have nothing in common
But children, corruption and sex
Are no longer what they used to be...

Young and stupid old and wise.
I did my first piecing myself.
Young and stupid old and wise.
Followed by my second piecing from a dare.
My nose felt like it was on fire and that piercing took me a week.
Young and stupid old and wise.
Followed by my...

It is a mind-wandering time

Remember the old times

when illusions were distinct

Remember the old times

when a friendly chat

was all we needed

to brighten up our hearts

Over the years things have changed. 

Looking back at the funny photos.

Dad wore sneakers on the beach.

 
 

Time where have you gone?

Ineed a memory replay.

Mom with her apron on.

Eeating home cooked meals.

Smells did linger though the house.

old times and knew times

  I was thinking about how I live now in a big apartment
with four bedrooms and their bathroom, and I study for me.
As a child, my mother and two other siblings had two
rooms and half a kitchen; the other half...

Observe the flow of dancing light,
Urge joy to thrill that precious whole;
Reach for that glow that sparkles sight.
Glimpse how love feels in your own soul,
Oblige the cast of poignant zest;
Outlive the craze in inner child,
Dance first and last your affluent best.
Oomph floods the daze in...

Old Times(quadruple Senryu)

I drift into past
I remember the old times
That`s hard to forget.

We walk on beaches
Hand in hand and Side by side
Smiles filled with passion.

Feel warm in bath tubs
Rolling on rumpled bed sheets
full of life and joy.

Can`t we have this back?
Old times of good memories
Which...

Do you remember
Skipping with a rope..alone
Or catching 'jacks' with stones.
Do you recall
Tennis against an old brick wall
Or conker contests in the fall.
Did you chalk out hopscotch squares
Play make believe,games of dare
Hide and seek or touch and run
In a childhood wrapped in fun.
Is simplicity a thing...

Missing the old times
Missing an old friend
Her smile on her cheeks
Reminds me of sweet days.

Old conversations
We talked things over
We ended up laughing
Rolling on the floor

Through worst days
We held each other’s hand
Tears were memorable
She’s my best friend.

Missing the old times
Missing an old friend.
I’ll keep on thinking
Till...

Craft charming cheer as apt art aims,
Love makes all things to fashion proof;
Align feelings to play life's game,
Sense how time flings a lasting truth;
See that you see the way turn wild,
Instruct your heart to know your soul;
Claim what will be your prize my child.
Opt poignant...

About old times have often thought
And all the things I should have bought
But now only as memories all still exist
To write poems people insist and persist.

So another new poem I now will write
About the time I was flying a kite
Wind was bad and there was...

Notice the way of space and time
Ebb and flow sway like edgy rhymes.


Notice the thought that hurls away
Each play and plot comes just to stray


Notice the strains of song and dance
Each a complaint that freaks with chance.


Notice the lines blank and unrhymed
Straight and aligned to...

The thought of me that came into your mind,
It grew;
It blossomed;
You thwarted it;
Hopefully you are letting it wilt and die.

I do not want to ignite old flames.
I want to believe your words were true;
After all you said them,
But my mind acts as if it has...
