Best Pays Poems

Based on the Scripture, 2 Timothy 3:3-13, which gives 
warning to escape the snare of the birdcatcher.

On stage he struts in sequined costume
a plume of feathers cocked high on head
A thespian of no account, though in loud rant
his troupe boasts of his skill and talent
But...

My mother worked hard in bed. She would dig herself out of men’s pockets like a miner. 
Every man was a mine shaft; she always knew what she was looking for. My mother 
always managed to pay for my school fieldtrips just like all the...

Un poème pour mon pays

Chère patrie

Le berceau de races
Vous êtes parmi les nombreuse
Avec une grande diversité de vue 
Dans ce mulâtre des langues occidentales

Oh grand triangle!
Tu te lèves et te couches
Comme les marées océaniques
Dans ce beau paysage
En patois et en cultures

Dis-moi que tu n'es pas...

I am not flying high and proud today,
For one who honored me has passed away,
And now my tribute to this man I pay
By flying half mast in the gentle breeze.
My friends all do the same across the land--
It is our simple, patriotic plan
To pay respect...

Such little fingers type so slow
I watch along as when he goes
Reports for typing, research too
He’ll get it done, that’s what he’ll do
But, even if it takes all week
He’ll find all answers he so seeks
As 4th grade can be hard enough
He won’t give up on...

Sad for waiting long without success attained,
'Cool and gentle wins without struggle' thought I,
Pains and heartbreaks glue to my body firmly,
                Suffering kicks off.

Skills progress with passion which brings exceeding
joy...

Of all that is free in life
there's one that stands out
passion without any strife
that's what it's all about

Take patience and passion
and mix the two together
until they part in fission
neither now the aggressor

In total harmony they meet
patience adding temperance
for'bearingly giving us mete
now loving without hinderance

Everyone enjoys it when another will pay,
For sin the price was tendered at the cross.
By accepting Jesus it's exactly that way,
Rejection necessitates we pay for our dross.

At death, man's destination isn't left to guessing,
Or by some Church eulogy and clamoring voices.
For God sees the far...

I want to steal things, and take what is not mine
I want to leave this place, I think I’ve served my time

I must be good and make no fuss;then they will take the bars away
And then I can enjoy the things, I have stashed away.

I...

The truculent night opened its ears and eyes
to acknowledge the fervor of the melee raging in her brain

She woke up with ringing in her ears
was it tinnitus or a heart attack?

She didn’t know, 
but it worried her

Living day after day with a paraplegic
for ten long...

"The meek shall inherit the earth", saith The Sermon on The Mount!
Things proclaimed by the King of Kings I certainly won't discount!
But as I've struggled along life's long and treacherous trek,
Instead of a chubby chicken leg, I usually end up with the neck!

"Sir, would you...
