Best Outdoes Poems

She Calls Me Home…

At days long end
Left on troubles shore
When I just know
I can't take anymore
When the last light
Of hope is gone

She calls me home
She calls me home

When my thoughts
Are racing round
And I can't find
A friend in this town
When every door
Has turned out wrong

She calls...

Necessarily to Samora


On the stream, a cork was thrown
She sank in
She tripped on
She was picked up
A beach, a wave and a sailing ship don’t matter.
You will arrive at the time of coming back. 
-Faceless towards passion-
 
When the dawn was agonized, morning came
I’d be dreaming...

Every morning, as heaven sighs
There comes the dawning
Of hope inspired by the dreams
That beckon from hearts
Minds who breathe the light
Erasing the darkness of night

As a lemony sun rises to smile
On the gentle mountains
Across the green meadows
The hearts who whisper
Silent prayers, reflections
Grace so alive it ignites
Fires...

Always a friend, come rain or shine.
Is this special poet of mine!
He lifts me up, when I am down.
I think he is uniquely royal and deserves 
a crown!

No wonder my poem to him is in the anthology!
He's a master at kindness to humanity!

Never blowing his...

I saw a big man today
who was born
without arms and legs
who didn’t learn to beg
but worked hard for success
and called everyone’s bluff
and married a catch

his excuses ring valid
as we complain
about spouses who don’t
fold the laundry or put away the dishes

I saw a big man today
who...

We don't watch telly,
we play games,
we have avatars
and gamer names.
We don't just glare,
we interact....
Helps co-ordination,
a proven fact.
We chat to gamers
on headsets too,
work as a team...
Plan what to do.
If you're good,
you're known as Pro,
in your gamer points
it will show.
Noob's the term
if you are new.
You wont be...

Heat Lightening
by Michael R. Burch

Each night beneath the elms, we never knew
which lights beyond dark hills might stall, advance,
then lurch into strange headbeams tilted up
like searchlights seeking contact in the distance . . .

Quiescent unions . . . thoughts of bliss, of hope . ....

White buffalo are sacred to Native American tribes
Symbols of hope and prosperity, to see one you are blessed
A cart filled with white pumpkins offers our dear friend who scribes
To her unique and loving heart this harvest does attest

A gift of spiritual grandeur we are offered...

I do love cheese!
Jeez, Louise,
what artistry I see.
A scrumptious luscious fresh confection
waits here just for me. 

It’s fine, so fine
and looks divine.
What an awesome feat -
to make dessert that looks almost
too beautiful to eat!

Oh, what a cake!
For heaven’s sake,
it’s like a rainbow pie. . ....

So sweetly, 
as she descended the stairs
I turned at the perfect moment to see her beauty.
Nothing to anyone else’s eyes,
but to mine, she is perfection.
She came down, 
just wearing everyday clothes,
but, it was the way she carried herself
that made me stop,
breathe a heavier breath
and smile.
She...

He looks like September,
as tall as the trees.
Makes me want to be better,
talks to strangers with ease.
Wish I could be more like that,
but then he comes near.
Even when he just wants to chat,
he quite outdoes my atmosphere.

I don't know why
I even try
to be worth it
but...

Fittingly hallowed gods must intrinsic majesty hold.
Even before deities invoked weigh the caller's case,
The deity's potent title should alone spell the balm,
And tint with nourishing grace the supplicant's face. 

Woe justly betides gods modelled by mortal skill,
Conjured to define the worshiper's creative spans.  
True...

I can’t fall asleep, I don’t want to sleep, 
Being awake is so much more fun,
As at last reality outdoes all my dreams, 
Now I have found my number one,

With a beautiful smile, voice, and a laugh, 
Beautiful eyes into her soul,
I’m staying awake to...
