Best On Key Poems

they’re sensitive my words
exposed wires
like veins hidden 
under the scars
of too many verbal attacks 
like swarms of vampire bats 
who puncture the night
turn the downpour red

you’ve never been able to stay on key
or open doors that needed one
like the beating one under your breast
with the...

On specific night, the moon shows part a story
With sliced light's slant on key rock,
By at odd interests' solarity—

The cold rock fires back
Through lumped scars mixed in as minerals;
From behind, dark side's show, light lack.

Haunted angles
Sun spangled
Rankled

On specific night, the moon shows part a story
Through...

forever seemed to long for me
so i chose to make it start today
i went to church, (which is rare for me)
and sadly for you, i ran away.

i sat through the horrible singing
even though it was by a professional choir
it was great going to a concert...

Even the hollow reed voices across sand, dry plains, 
startling lilt, notes we can remember.
We can forget. Forgetting is our salvation, 
not reincarnation.
When memory is destroyed, we are spared
thorns, destiny.
No further life.
Peace be with you.
With you, Father.

To each the choice, known, unknown, of what the
heart...

Hello all! This next poem is a very special poem because it was written by my father when I was very young and because of him, he has passed his talent to write poetry down to me. This poem is called "Sapora Rifka" or Hebrew...

What happened to you?
You used to be so sweet.
The one and only guy,
My eyes would ever meet.

You were my man,
Once upon a time.
Giving me flowers,
And sweet valentines.

Now all I know,
Is you deserted me.
Won’t look me in the eyes,
And talk right on key.

You’ve become so cruel,
And...

youth
play while growing up
play when living toward your dreams
play when you are old

drowning
the trick of swimming
is to know when to stroke it
and when to float it

snuff
when terminating 
some life, plant or animal,
rejoice its being

serenity prayer
reminds there's little control
you're human, ok?

The best way to win a race,
Is to race as fast as you can.
To know the better lines to drive,
And be the better man.

To swerve right on key moments,
Then to speed up when it's right,
To know when to battle for position,
And to know when not...

Song of My Heart

Heart song,
Midsummer dream,
Intones sweet poetry,
Love notes resolve in harmonies -
Vespers 

Music,
Weaves themes of joy,
Transposes dawn and dusk
Tableaus of half-notes bind lost chords -
In tune

Verses 
Winsome lyrics
Tempos sing in duets,
My song breathes in stanzas of sighs
On key

Refrains,
Heart arias,
Beat with mercy’s cadence
Laughter chants a...

"Run! Run along and play, Baby T!"
Mama Rex told her little one, as she pitter-patted from the cave.
"Wait! Did you brush your ... teeth?" she trailed off,
Realizing Baby T was now out of earshot.

She was a good mama, and knew the importance of oral hygiene,
Especially...

Singing gently sneaks inward
often taking us unaware with
unusual new tones and nontones.
Note how wild wind flutters leaves
driving ears to stand and snatch
soft sounds of cool air tapping.

An unexpected blast booms when
boiled water readily rumbles
on key, sputters and splashes.
Uncap water’s playful plop
near full faucets or its...

Remember Beefsteak Charlies?
I don’t remember the last time I saw one
but every time I see one of those
tomatoes, I remember Charlie
my Charlie, the one who befriended me
he didn’t have to, after all					
he was my grandfather.
Charlie set the bar high
32 years with a seasoned life coach
no...

On the stage,
Lights are blaring,
Crowds in a rage,
Everyone is staring;
Eyes are watering,
Lip is quivering,
Knees are buckling,
Thoughts keep racing;
Will I mess up?
Will I pass out?
Will I throw up?
There’s so much doubt;
What were the notes?
What were the words?
I just might choke,
My memories a blur;
The crowd is waiting,
To...
