Best Possessor Poems
Little GiantsThe child is a poet with innocent eyes
And a bumpity A-B-C rhyme,
A dancer whose feet with the rhythm of life
Move in jubilant one-two-three time.
The child is a doctor who heals with a kiss
And treats with a serum called smile,
A researcher who seeks out the meaning...

ResurrectionI rise from deep within the earth
out of pressured lavas
I rise above the level into
breathable realms
I rise following the risen
He who set my path and
monitors my lift lovingly
tenderly, yet such pinions
given of steeliness unpluckable
I rise for the grace of the Father,
for the loving sacrifice of...

You take our breaths, you awe the eyes

you tint each cloud while passing by
O' morning friend, O'...

The Most Beautiful Girl In the WorldThe most beautiful girl in the world.
Have you seen her?
The most beautiful girl in the world!
I have! And she is a wonder to behold
She stops traffic, no need for police
She lights up a room, she's that electric
She shines brighter than the brightest
diamonds and pearls...

Sun ThiefOnce upon a time, there lived a boy called Simon.
He was an ordinary boy who did what ordinary nine year old
boys do: collecting bugs and putting them in jars,
speaking to imaginary friends, riding a bike along an empty road
in the woods…..
As the only child...

Little 'I' and the Eucharist Breadwhen staring at e. e. cummings’ little ‘i’
—not reading,
it reminds me of st. francis’ sublime yet humble lowly jesus:
“he hides himself under the little form of bread”
if cummings’ little ‘i’ meant
the ‘i’ overpowered by something like gigantic rock,
overwhelmed by this evil prevailing world,
or intimidated by...

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 28Quietly, the memory of my grandfather manifested itself,
In the colors and shimmers of the Holy Spirit,
I saw his human face,
The familiar lines, the flesh,
The pair of oceanic eyes, slowly blinking
Smiling,
Like a heavenly beam
Splashing upon a humbled earth
Though I was interrupted by the...

WalkingAs I walk under a sky
Of thousands shades of blue
With the sun kiss warmth
Touching my skin
All I can think about
Is only you
Possessor of my soul,
Why are you so beautiful?
You’ve shaken my being
Just by knowing
I am also a small part
Of your beauty
If the birds can...

Feather of DeathMutuma was alone in the forest,
busy piling up his beans harvest
in his favorite sisal basket.
As he was about to lift his basket,
a feather from nowhere fell
on his basket, with a soft
landing. He could tell
that this was a strange event.
“How can this be?!” he asked himself.

Lament To the Spirit of WarLament to the Spirit of War
by Enheduanna (circa 2285-2250 BCE)
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
You hack down everything you see, War God!
Rising on fearsome wings
you rush to destroy the land:
raging like thunderstorms,
howling like hurricanes,
screaming like tempests,
thundering, raging, ranting, drumming,
whiplashing whirlwinds!
Men falter at your approaching footsteps.
Tortured...
