Best On A Regular Basis Poems


Premium Member If I Could Be Anything
If I could be anything, I would be an enzyme.
Grown in dandelions as they are plentiful, and free,
And unappreciated now by some.
Maybe also I could be in clover.
A healing enzyme.

My catalytic action would be simply this.
I would retrain cancer cells to swallow,
Digest and eliminate themselves.
On...

Me On Me
I really have no hobbies on a regular basis you see.
I enjoy woodworking, troubleshooting to any degree.

I do not like to cut grass with a lawn mower at all.
Though I love and enjoy weed eating, summer to fall.

My mind thinks continually, every day, upon everything.
I...

The Call To Duty: a Soldier's Poem
I went straight from High school into the service,
I was feeling proud but extremely nervous.
My mother cried with tears of joy,
she said, “I will try to stop referring to you as my little boy.”

I arrived at Basic Training with a bus load of candidates,	
we were...

Love Is An Action Word
Love is an action word
It is more than an emotion
We must show love to everyone
Our family, friends, peers, and enemies
We must also show loving-kindness to people we don’t know
By keeping them lifted up in prayer

Love is something that we share
We show we care and we...

Premium Member Wonderland VIII: Conclusion
it feels good to escape
with authors and poets
and dream up new places
with tales that are spun

but sometimes what's real
and sometimes what isn't
encroach on each other
and read just as one

such are the worlds
of rhyme but no reason
that question the answers
we thought we once had

and such are...

Perfection In Death
Today I took all of Aprils
pictures down
I placed them in an album
so their still safe and sound
But gone are the images
of which visitors would ask
And my answer "My April"
now part of my past
Placed to rest benieth
transparent pages
Motionless, voiceless and now ageless
I would wear April 
with...

Letter To My Future Wife
I'm sat here wondering what you're doing tonight
Have we met before? Will we reconcile later on in life?
Are you a complete stranger who's yet to be in my sight?
This is a letter to my future wife

We're strangers at the moment, I don't know where you...

Premium Member A Fish's Viewpoint
Undersea exploration comes to me in my dreams
As a fish in the deep I see only faint sunbeams

Enough light there is to reveal a lost continent
I wonder what led to this golden age’s descent

Colorful fish swim among ruins of a pyramid
A former city’s gilded streets,...

Through the Looking Glass
So I sit here in the infectious waste, wasted effort, waste of time.
Wasting away my youth, my livelihood, my hopes and dreams,
How am I supposed to handle this?

(  *   *  )

Ok fine, I look up and I do see it,
A brilliant...

The Litmus Test
The girl stood by the window,
Her head turned slightly  to best observe the dreaded finger,
When it walked into the room.
The finger that which by its very actions would seal her fate.

Would this finger seemingly no different than any of her own,
Foreshadow a steady income,...

i crave freedom no mandates no commandments

freedom that allows me to recapture the dignity that was taken

i catch myself watching my words as so they don't slip out
