Best Plating Poems

Just When It Seems Like Life Is Overwhelming!

Just when it seems like I’ve faced
 my darkest night…
And things in life,
 aren’t turning out right…

This is about the time, when things
 are falling apart!
And I began to feel a lot of stress in my heart!

I run...

World War II Poems and Holocaust Poems II - Bertolt Brecht



The Burning of the Books
by Bertolt Brecht
loose translation by Michael R. Burch

When the Regime
commanded the unlawful books to be burned, 
teams of dull oxen hauled huge cartloads to the bonfires.

Then a banished writer, one of...

The clouds cried passionately
The streets took a shower  
I poured me some whiskey to drink
To drink think to link the
droplets and form an image.

My bed room window was foggy I rubbed it
with my sleeve but it slightly appeared again
when I breath.

From a distance I...

What does it matter to me?
 If plastic clogs the roaring seas. 
All I want is convenience, 
A life of ease. 
Do you think I give a damn? 
If they poison our wells. 
And chainsaw scalpels,
 Erases nature's tender hand. 
I'm busy!
 To busy silver...

O Turkey My Turkey are you about done?
You’ve been in the oven since way before dawn
The people; so excited are waiting and waiting
For every bit of deliciousness that we are plating
Mash potatoes, gravy, cranberry, yams,
Green beans, Mac and cheese, and so much more
All waiting for...

New bags, New phone
New dress for today
and the mirror says
the reflection of me
Hush tag #ootd

I'm hungry, where's the **** of food
even the stomach is so full of water
Plating is the limit dude
hush tag #brakethesnacklunchsuffer

When I'm alone, and thinking of you
when the stars at night
Says that...

She told no lies, from behind her all- seeing eyes.
Cassandra could not return the love of  Apollo,
 His curse upon her truth belies.
And left her prophesies empty and hollow.

She knew  the destruction of Troy would come.
Her  voice to land on the ears...

Born of Irish blood
In Beveridge, Victoria
Descending into
Violence euphoria

At an early age
Notoriety was there
Arrested so young
He did not care

Stringybark Creek was the turning point
Three officers slain
Led the law to appoint
Felons Apprehension Act 1865
All outlaws
Need not be taken alive

Euroa and Jerilderie
Banks of these towns
Next in their rampage
To...

Your Tiara

 105 rhinestones glued into cheap elegance
 Trying to be more
 Silver plating, like your mind, chips
 Magical and awkward
 Worn to pressed dinner parties
 Invitations and assigned seating
 Little metal clips securing you your class
 So dangerous - Only a pin to hold...

Seed Of Yellow Dust

Above a city
Scattered in the blue sky
A grain of yellow dust

In the middle of a wide desert
When the sand breeze blows
Secretly shoot yellow shoots

Trees in the forest
One by one
Every time they disappear
Yellow dust become more yellowish 
Growing up by myself

On the road
Smelling...

Two stars are timidly twinkling beyond the heavenly dome,
Touchingly emanating their light
Into the dark void of my solitude.
Solitude is proud
If you are followed by memories,
And me and memories are like wind and roses,
Facing each other,
Forever faithful to each other.
People say that her bright gaze
Shall never...

I’m taking control of this physical presence of mine, this breaking ship;
pulling it down forcefully to the bottom of this god forsaken sea,
allowing it to be destroyed by nature once and for all.
I’m restoring it,
piece by piece.

All the times it has shattered and I have...

The Christmas lights are glowing,
Weather’s wildly snowing.
One thing I am knowing – 
It’s lovely to be home.

The radiator’s hissing,
My honey’s here for kissing.
There’s nothing I am missing – 
No place I’d rather roam.

The wine is poured and waiting,
The dinner prepped for plating
And I’m anticipating –...

The ants and the beetles were all celebrating
As I wed the spider that I had been dating
And soon sixteen legs would be consolidating
I could say eighteen but that’s exaggerating

But all of a sudden the ground was vibrating
We tried to get clear but the plants were...
