Best Onder Poems

Will you come with me where
Everything is magical?

Wonder awaits you, and everything
Is beautiful!
Leisure can be ours, with
Luxury surrounding us!

Pack your bags.
Are you 
Ready for adventure? Are you ready for 
The best time of 
Your life?

Lavish food and drinks we can
Indulge in, as well as many
Kinds...

Getting old I view death differently,

Recalling both the good days and the bad. 

Eventually, everyone will die

And death should be as momentous as birth

Tomorrow's sunrise grieves today's sunset.


Escaping the confines of the body

Souls seek out higher planes of existence.

Christ faced death before He was resurrected

And...

The true title is Honey Bee (since it is an acrostic!)

How busily you work, oh little honey bee,
On waves of breeze beneath blue summer sky,
Nectar seeking for your hive community!
Employing your antenna, you are led to fly
Yonder where flowers' pollen beckons you so sweetly.

Beautiful is...

Elements Part 3: WATER - Poetry Contest
Sponsor: Brian Davey


I've seen pictures but never the authentic beauty,
for one can never explain such flowing cascades,
Niagara Falls has stolen my sadness while broody,
what a marvel mother nature has made.



Wonder one of the seven seen within earth's creations

Above Lake...

A season to delight, to sing and thrive

Birth of spring beckons new life

Casting aside the winter nights

Dancing gay the flowers bloom

Endless days of soothing clime

From the trees the wind chime

Grasses lush and green grow tall

Hotter days soon to follow

Igniting the passion strong

Joining in the lovers...

As jy jou pyn buite wys 
sal vriendelike,
Irreterende vreemdeling 
jou inlig dat die wêreld 
aanhou draai.
En hulle is reg.
Dit doen.
Maak nie saak hoe hard jy 
dit smeek om te stop.
Dit hou aan draai.

Ek word wakker en is 
gelukkig vir drie 
sekondes.
Dan onthou ek,
Dit draai en...

Go, go my dear butterfly
On to the garden of flowers you go
Don’t ever funk to flutter in wind
'll be watching your funny leaps.

So gracious from flower to flower
Gliding and swimming through the air
Rather than flapping your little wings
As an artist you turn and twist.

Coming and...

In My New Year’s Resolution I Vow

N aked with only a bellow with fellow utopians

Powerful!  Such is poetry at work…
Oh!!! So overwhelming at its best
Earnest in its evocative essence
True to its communicative trademark
Revealing realities, ready for responses
Yes; verily mighty… stirring you and me.

     Precious as a gem, priceless is poetry’s wisdom

Wonder what joys may we proclaim
Endure love, happiness, peace and freedom

Whether it be through storm, struggle or strife.
Inhibit not your pain; temporally numb 
Limit only nothing 

Partake among the otherwise eluded
Articulating silence
Regret not, revel now—present tense  
Today may you last all through tomorrow's night
Yell...
