Best Planted Poems

The rosa blanda embroidering your face
will become the veins in my tongue reaching to clog my throat
go past the tonsils and vocal chords and windpipe
down and down still, burrowing into the esophagus 
relentless in its pursuit, just, just, just to lay seeds in my chest

I planted a lily
A long time ago,
And was given the chance
To watch the plant grow.

I'm sorry to say,
That chance I refused.
A delicate flower
Should not be abused.

It needs to be nurtured 
With plenty of sun.
Not shoved in the darkness
Where damage is done.

I planted a lily.
I hope...

The sunflow’r burst through red roses.
Still sleepy eyes - skyline poses.
Unseen angels lift up the light.
The saint below shows sheer delight.
Worship the Lord where you’re planted.

Coffee sipped and bible open -
The living word that we hope in.
Sitting beneath Gazebo shade -
Blossoms incline at Jesus name.
Worship...

Leave My Feet In Poetry Now Firmly Planted

I tried, compose a revelation poem about truth
Did that in earnest, in my wild but honest youth
But with mind fighting a stone wall nothing came forth
it was as if I fought as South against the North.

My brain had...

My sweetest of flowers, they blossom and grow
From God’s miracle garden, from seeds we did sow
Hair of yellow, like daisies, and cheeks filled with sun
My sweetest of flowers; yet still very young

Each is an individual, though equally special, as well
In our garden of life and...

Grow Where You’re Planted
Written: by Tom Wright
February 2015

Leaves displaying the colors,
Of a painter’s palette,
Came gyrating, 
Aimlessly toward the ground;

While raking, I mused,
If I lived in the desert,
 There’d be no leaves beneath my feet.

Then upon intellection,
Nor trees to provide me shade,
From the desert’s scorching heat;

When you are young, change comes almost daily,
It could be good, sometimes could be bad.
You will be molded, trip thru life gaily
You tried to do your best with what you had.

Then as an adult, change starts to slow down
With multiple jobs, and sometimes spouses.
You accept...

I planted a seed, so tiny and small ,
And the seed opened up , to feed 'one and all'
What enchanted a seed' I dropped in it's hole ,
And it's skin broke to pieces , and it started to grow .
O'h the magic of nature' how...

Dreams Seeds Planted

I grow the best seeds given in my dreams,
I hold the flavor of that feat;
Although a freeze may hit my streams,
I shall not admit brutal defeat ...
Yet life can and will serve all the more
Against dark blades stabbing in the night,
With my crop...

democracy’s seed
oblivious public freed…

You planted a garden and must make a decision,
As some varieties become very independent,
You are the one that has to control this situation.

The corn grows tall, creating massive division,
Suppressing all others, becoming the one percent.  
You planted a garden and must make a decision.

The...

Cry out to me at night in my dreams,
And please be happy and devoid of screams.

Take me away to heaven with you,
And we'll be sacred once more,
No one else, just us two.

Be honest about your fears,
I'm always here to listen.
Talk without reservation,
I'll always be here...

What makes God sad?
What makes you sad are what make God sad
What are you sad about?
Are you sad when you see injustice?
Are you sad when you see people wasting life
on drugs and nothing to eat?
Are you sad when you see the world turns another ear,...

Once I told a married Baptist missionary, I wanted to be one.  Carol said, "Roxanne, Everett needs missionaries too."  She meant I should bloom where I was planted.  But we both were much younger then.

Transport myself into the 21st century.  I...

I planted my heart 

I planted my heart
now broken and shattered
So deep in the earth
for nothing much mattered

Then sat on the ground,
my teardrops now flowing
When before my eyes
I saw something growing

The tiniest stem
from the dirt it was breaking
A beautiful green
by now was breathtaking

When then came...
