Best Owns Poems

Shark, the contortionist cat, is sitting catty-wampus today.
His head is north, paws west, crossed in a weird southwestern way.
Wearing his glitzy tiara and a feathered boa of blue.
He will not take direction, and has a secret kill room, maybe two

He drags these little bitty animals...

The devil is defeated
And now he's on the run
God kicked him out of Heaven
And now to earth he's come.

That cunning crafty serpent
He'll lure you into sin
With promises of better things
For your soul he wants to win.

He'll tempt you with a magic potion
That promises you a...

Our Father Owns It All

By Betty Harp Butler

Our Father owns the cattle
On ten-thousand hills-
The sheep in every fold.
The birds are His messengers.
Daily He sends them out-
With their joyful songs.
We can listen to them and behold.

We too are His handiwork.
We were the crown of all creation.
He...

I gazed at a rainbow so bright and lovely in the distance
                 I wonder .... is there gold at the end of the rainbow

Who Owns the Day?

Awake carelessly;
No connection to the internal dialogue.
Floating, a gentle space of minutes.
I wonder, how do I join the day?

Oh, go ahead, just pick a project,
   find meaning in your life!
Hurry, make good use of the time!
The ego rattles on.

Fear stomps...

Red dirt chases the single-laned tarred roads,
For kilometres past the horizon.
Wrapped in endless yellow canola fields
With lapping barbed wire fences.
Authentic, wise eucalypt giants stand guard-
They have lived
And will always live in the years of the forgotten lands,
They define terra-nullius.
They lean over, offering shade from brazen...

Who Owns a Poem?

Could I call a poem – a poem
if I titled it as such
or would this egocentricity
cause the poets to turn on me?

Words - shifting sands - rolling stones
shadows cast by meatless bones
memory’s nostalgic noose
tormenting the bottled goose.

Three shelled game – poet as...

YESTERDAY HAS MY  HEART

I scribe these words to my dear Ms. Yesterday
Lest she remain unawares of how I’m doing since she walked away
Pardon me for preconceiving that she might care
But in my life a lady like her was remarkably rare

She is young in heart,...

Who owns your grave in Brisbane?

Who signs for internment of body to ground
With undertaker becomes the owner
Though someone else owns the grave
He or she are not the owner?

A friend of mine buried her hubby 
in a triple deep grave  and then
Discovered she’d have to...

Every People bears a mouth and two hands,
No one born with mouths and single hand,
Feeding all people time to time is divine no disputes,
People trust on God but fail to know his actions is the dispute,
Starving turned into the worst of death,Malthus feared,
Malthus forgot-divine,God's plans...

God made the stars
Man made the cars.
God made the skies
and made man wise.

God made the fish,
man made the dish.
God made the Sea
man made the tea.

God made the moon,
man sweats at noon.
God made the earth
and gave men breath.

God made the Sun
man made the gun
God gave us...

I would like to meet the man,
who claims to own a cloud.
I’ve heard that after a beer or two, 
he’d yell out drunk and proud: 
“See that cloud over there?
The one beyond that tree?
Well that cloud is mine, ya hear? 
Its rain belongs to me!”

It...
