Best Pal Poems

Death,
An old friend, as old as life,
We met soon after my birth 
He liked to play games with me 
“Be ready,” he said. “I am coming for you.”
I waited, was all ready to go, 
no fear, 
no agony, 
no regrets.
 
Typhus was a serious matter...

My best buddy, a blessed, blue butterfly
Cute, cool and colorful… kind and creative
She’s got wild words with wings to fly
She’s a darling dame, I’m highly emotive.

She is married to Steve… no trespass
I only cherish her happy heart and arms.
She loves to share and care, her...

Bob had been a lonely man ever since
His wife of fifty years had passed.
“Lord, let me join her.” he would pray.
“Let this day be my last.”

Each day, he went to the cemetery,
Just a short walk down the street.
After their talk, he would water her flowers
And...

She was the best pal we ever had,
Thinking about her still makes me sad,

Quietly wagging her tail for her food,
Silently waiting like a friend so good,

She survived death scare two times that year,
We prayed for her healing, God did hear,

She knew whom to bark at,...

Walking in the woods on a summers day
I ran across the savvy mushroom king
The old tight-wad geezer wanted to play
I played him checkers and a little chess.
The king was pretty good, I must confess.
Same time next week I asked the little guy?
Leaving, he said. How...

Rising from the mightiness of my mind's eye,
Diving through the everglade of my endless thoughts,
Dancing to the tunes of my triumph stories,
She came, My love!, to be by my side.

To pull me out of the misery of this chaotic world,
To sing a lullaby amidst the...

She should have been Hera, goddess queen of heaven, the sister-wife of 
Zeus, king of the gods; she would have caught him one Friday night tipping 
Out while she sleeps to visit one of his plumy wives and over 100 relations. 
She would have said,...

Etching your thoughts with a pen to paper
Telling in detail, page after page, your latest caper
A pal of yours, you may never meet, doing the same
Both know all there is to know from risqué to tame
Each of you eagerly anticipating each day’s mail
To enjoy the...

The Principal Was Never My Pal

By Elton Camp

The memory aid that the principal is your pal
Distinguishes from principle to each boy & gal

That was a good enough way spelling to recall
But it didn’t fit my view of the principal at all

To me he was nothing...

Eh, pal what are your chances of winning?
Ah, you could have banked all this saving
for an early retirement...
to cherish that sentiment!
When you're completely broke, start cringing!...

Through grass heft casket white
where green waits to swallow hard
the dreams of lovers and friends.

On a day the wind bullied clouds
skirts waved goodbye over bended knee
of hurt prayer and plea.

I saw the one whom knew
what none above could:
Peace....

My Best Pal

My very best pal is a hairy ole' guy.
His breath is so bad, it bring tears to my eyes.

Mexican music he really adores ;
though he lies, not dances on all of my floors.

He's happy go lucky,
and smiles all the time.
he has no money,...

I have a Poetry Soup pal
She is some kinda gal!

Always replying with a hopeful post
This Sweetheart is one I talk to most

She is a mother, a traveler, a tiger and poetess
My friend claims no fame in her finesse

She writes of love, beaches and tropics
Incredible poet...

Zeekie and Mildred were buds.
Neither thought the other a dud.
Friendship so true.
They each had a tattoo
As symbols of undying love....
