Best Opts Poems


Premium Member Summer
A hot and humid day floats merrily on the seas
As tiny bikinis amble in sandy footprints
And frolic in the motives of soft ocean breeze 
Building sand-castle dreams with playful hints

Hazy hues occupy the environs of a blue sky 
As pouring rains flood the tapestry on...

Premium Member Pointing To the Problems
POINTING TO THE PROBLEMS 
  {Bivouacs}

Beat down with legal fees
Tied up with taxes;
Tripped up with mortgages;
Ripped off with student loans
Insulted with insurance
Telephone updates.

Out of date opts,
New upgrade rates;
Food on the down-low
Carrots in the closet;
Conjugating with fake rice.

Plastic cabbage, inedible corn.
Tomatoes with fish dung
Water with...

Premium Member My Friend Robbie
I have a dear feathered friend who greets me each day at dawn!
He likes to dwell in and around the crab apple tree on my lawn!
From his perch he serenades me on wintry Colorado morns so drear,
Cheerily belting out trilling melodies that are so pleasing...

Premium Member That Sinking Feeling
Murky sea this day as she wades chest deep
Battling strong waves with every step
No other swimmers, no lifeguards, no sun
Nary a gull on the beach so windswept

Solitude is her preference, she floats
Closes her eyes, attempts to clear her head
She’s tossed about, but opts to remain
She’d...

Premium Member Changing Sky - Picture Perfect
The sky presents kaleidoscope views
As the heavens display  many hues
On sunny days it is dressed in blue
But sets the sun with red and orange hues

On stormy days it dons a cloak of gray
As thunderous rumbles come our way
But once the storm  passes through
It...

Premium Member Tempest in a Teapot
The tempest in a teapot,
sits there as it may,
though it bothers none,
that is bothersome,
though bother surely begot.

The tempest in a teapot,
sits there and bestilled,
control the free will,
is absolute nil,
but left alone it was naught.

A cluster of clucking hens,
tempts teapot defends,
foxes from their dens,
rounds bout like...

Premium Member Nonchalant Eye
denial of what is as is unfolding
clinging to that that never was
glue of ego spawned identity
we see these tamas spirals
attempting to anchor us
in fear and darkness

our nonchalant eye
entwined with heart
ever bubbling with joy
opts not to trauma bond
with such sunken vibrations 
judging nothing celebrates life...

Poetic Justice
I look inside you
I step inside then
Well, well, look what I find here

Is this place Hell 
Where my steps have led me
She calls me the Devil
Well that sounds just like him

Comteplations of direct hits
Night Marches regardless
If I’m the Archer or the target
Your still a part...

Premium Member Schizophrenia
,
 … Schizophrenia.. of Ego mania, wipe the slate
the human logic with no plate

its late, its late… the Master plan wipes the slate..
the logics of the human plates.

let us stash the cash of world concepts past…
pile it high in the streets.. currency of egos, many...

Premium Member Did I Say What I Said You Said
Did I say What I said You said

You said looking a little forlorn
						a little redundant
	the contradicting crosses in your eyelashes
   thrusting forth the brazen prophet in you for the day

Premium Member Crazy Mad Dog
Charm courts calm cheer
Romp ruffles rear
Ask and appear
Zoom zesty zeal
Youth yelling yield


Mind mourning mate
Airing apt ape
Discern debate


Dice dewy drop
Offer opts ops
Glimpse gracious gob


Best blooming blot
Aim and allot
Ripe rich report
Kind keeper knows
Sanguine song shows


Note not never
Options over
Worst woes wiser


Hoist hip heavy
Engrave empty
Rich rowdy roar
Encroach explore

Premium Member Haiku Moment 1
Evening descends
Running track overture;
Brisk walk abstract

~~~~~~~~~


Late night commute
Transit trains empty;
Small talk echoes

~~~~~~~~~


Brisk walk homewards
Wind follows footsteps;
Seeking company

~~~~~~~~~


Supper for dinner
Cold dishes now;
Busy delay

~~~~~~~~~


Old lady struggles
Bad knee joints;
Painful walk

~~~~~~~~~


Moonlight aura
Mystic blue streams;
Lovers serenade

~~~~~~~~~


Rainy weather
Indoor activity;
TV interlude

~~~~~~~~~


Afternoon siesta
Puzzling dream time;
Abrupt awakening

~~~~~~~~~


Britain opts exit
European Union crisis;
Latest news flash

~~~~~~~~~


Choices made
Winners...

Pleasure primes play
Rapture reaps rays


Etch each endear
Charm chisels cheer


Imp inks ideas
Odd opts obscure


Use unfurls urge
Soul sees swift surge


Mind moves motions
Oomph oils options


Move mindful match
Ends endow etch


Niche nurtures nice
Touch tickles twice


Sense sweet surprise
Prove primal prize


Offer one opt
True talent tops


Note neither nor
One on one oar


Troubles tell toils
Etch...

Premium Member Who Is Being Selfish
You showed shock and dismay when I said....maybe my 50th is when it would happen. I couldn't deal with aging. I couldn't deal with death, yet again. I said how I would plan it...not to leave a mess behind for others to have to clean...

The 'Lucky' Puck
He sees it gleaming on the side of the road
Looks at it closely…pleased it isn’t a toad
Ever so blissful is that strapping young buck
He can’t resist so picks up the puck

The lad brings the puck on his very first date
Places it on the dash…picks her...
