Best Pick Poems

`

I have so many friends on soup,
it’s hard to pick just one
To narrow down to just a few,
it just cannot be done

Heidi always brings a smile
Brenda tempts my heart
Sandy posts poetic dreams
Connie’s whispered art

Gershon really makes me laugh
Maureen, she can write
Hello There and Andrea
make my...

A week passed, yet no words drifted in my mind
I feared I'd become numb and poetically blind
so, I gave up, went to bed and turned off the light
but in the very next moment I screamed in fright!

"Procrastinator!" My Muse yelled, in a huff.
"You are made...

He begs me to come, but he's run out of luck
You won't catch me dead in that beat-up old truck!
It was painted blue...now the color is rust
But you can't be too sure...since it's covered in dust!...
The engine must idle,  (about an hour is good)

You...

Two poetic hydrangea mobiles ~ happy or sad, take your pick 

~
Weeping hydrangeas spill
sapphire tears falling,
drenching grey scale gardens
suspended, free flowing
a mobile of distractions
on tiny threads scattered
above clouded daydreams
Worded floating silent streams,
spinning slowly, creating phrases
on whirlwind petals,
browned edges frame 
whispered wonderings
sans answers
upon somber breezes
of yesterday’s...

"I can tell you are a Libra"

"No !"  

"I am seldom ever wrong
Ah, of course you are a Taurus" 

"No!"

"But the feeling was so strong
Now it hits me, you're a Leo
I should have recognized the traits

"No!"

"Just please give me a moment
In my mind, I...

(A Co-worker)

Stop hatin' on me you ole crow,
Why don't you give me what you owe-
Me and that is respect you old coot,
Don't you know that I know that crows
Only pick at the best fruit,
It's as if you can see my future better than I can,
That...

Hope for sunshine on a snowy day,
Hope extra money is added to your pay.

Hope to awake and find you there,
Hope it was a dream and you still care.

Hope the world could be at peace,
Hope gun battles would cease.

Hope the countries leader would get it right,
Hope...

Sue found an impossible task,
To ‘excavate’ wearing her mask,
Now Sue cannot linger,
With her little finger,
To abstain has been a big ask

Since childhood Sue’s ‘explored ‘her nose,
Her secret’s one nobody knows,
Sue’s now stopped the picking,
The licking and flicking,
It’s down to covid I suppose.

PICK OF THE LITTER

The other pups sold for eight hundred,
a thousand. She was bought, returned.
Too bright, too hard. A diamond.
We got her for a prayer,
and now we’re paying. 
Oh those trickster-
sparkling eyes.
She’s price-
less....

A Chinese professor from Bowes
used chopsticks when picking his nose
He’s down on his luck 
one chopstick got stuck -
he’s skipping his lunch I suppose!

I heard a little rumor from
a stranger on the road today;
he wore a heavy veil of dusk
to keep the winter's song at bay.

His face was well concealed; although,
his shriveled hands had drawn my sight;
it seemed like they were withering
and, like the moon, a pallid white.

"A...

Just passing by
to say a sweet hi.
You need not ask why
and please don't tell me bye
cos, If I say I do not fear that, I lie.

I am ready to take up wings and fly
reaching any heights no matter how high
provided it will lead me to...

It's never been so hard, to play my friend the blues,
It's never been so hard, to play my friend the blues,
Though right beside him I did sit,
I played out all the tunes.

Every day he got much weaker, with pain upon his face,
Every day he got...

Line of Inquiry
“I wasn’t sure what it was he said but it meant a lot to me.”

When there was still daylight lingering,
And the wind was upon the leaves,
And every leaf trembled at its touch,
On my balcony, I lazily sat.

My mind strayed like a vagabond,
Through the...
