Best Pelf Poems

Line of inquiry:
“Yes, I affirm, I have seen God
But He appeared and then disappeared
This knowing that transcends mind, left me awed
But until what’s imbibed is assimilated, by fears I’m seared” 


Once I felt the power of God
It seeped into me like lightning,
Illumining the track it...

I heard this on television
One-line of a narration
One-line so plain and simple
It filled me with expectation

The words quoted
I wish I had wrote
A-line that resonated
Bringing understanding and hope

I never thought Evil existed
I thought things
Were either Good or Bad
Evil I resisted

Then as I became older
Things started to...

Well, here I am again, Lord, a-knockin' on Your door,
With a prayer of thanksgivin' and a few entreaties to implore.
Lord, I thank You for sustainin' me along life's rocky road,
And for the blessin's upon this undeservin' soul You've bestowed!

For this comin' year, I pray not...

The Story of History  

Beyond those beaten days’ depleted daylight
Beyond the bathos of a pandemic bondage
With  the resurrected  sashay’s charmed night
Down in the dumps   at the pretentious  proscenium
A  shy  orchestration sans bark and bite
Afloat in  the...

The old country vet traversed Henry County over hill and dell.

He was a familiar sight in his buggy pulled by his horse, old Nelly Bell!

He served farmers and ranchers for nigh on two generations,

Deliverin' calves, foals and lambs and performin' tricky operations.

He left the comfort...

For this Turk Turku is a 1-horse
city but he has got to have horse
sense. He will not be as happy as a peacock in Turkey.
Hindi, the Turk word for turkey, is how we'll call this turkey.
Hindi, when living in Turkey, was a horse
dealer. Today he's...

When little you have to live for and far, 
 When righteousness your own for little counts, 
Knocked down and bruised and battered when you are, 
 When your wasted shadow forever haunts; 
When rites and rituals robbed are of magic, 
 Piety, pilgrimage, notso...

Dactylic Hexameter

My love for family I do not hide or set high on a wooden shelf.
Baubles of life are here having a jot influence over a rime of things.
One hawks a sweeter enticement diverting us like a small candy elf.
Placed in a closet of my...

This is a letter I should've written to you many years ago,
To express my love and affection - so much to you I owe!
Alas, I didn't tell you I loved you enough, that I'll ever rue;
The things I want to tell you now are so...

All by me scurvy seafarin’ self
Me pouch be empty;  nicked o' pelf
th' curvy wench tha' warmed me berth
lef' nary one ol' farrrthing's worth

On cap'n's orders bin swabbin' decks
seekin' sawder, spit-lickin' specks
afore ebb-tide 'til high neap-tide
but nary me own scurvy hide

In me head me digs...

I did that!!!
I stabled the child
In his chaste, and kill his dreams
While he wanted help

I saw his pain flew
Before the wick act of mine
Felt his field of pain

I could help him from
His savage time under woe
But I show no love

I could make a spark
Of light...

I still wonder the life and the meaning of it
The reason why I belong here...
The struggle, the humiliation
And the pain of smiling when tears are yet to fall.
Walking in the shadows of fear
I still wonder the life
Why little happiness is the sign of tears.
A little...

I have little of this world's pelf,
But there is one thing I pride in myself.
I have a family that I deeply treasure.
My love for them is beyond all measure!

Some folks take pride in material goods,
And live in upscale neighborhoods.
I am happy to live a simple...

She looked at the other side 
of herself
The ferocious face that everyone would hide
she looked at her other  book on the shelf
So brave she is , her world is wide
the hidden things within are her power and pelf
A lioness in the royal liar,she lied
untamed...
