Best Proponent Poems

A friend I'd like - someone like me
Fun and cheeky, full of integrity.
Gardening lover, nature attuned
of life's useless baggage pruned
perhaps also a crafter of words

A hawk winding a spiral on the wing
is a particularly magical thing.

So here be a quirky,...

Where the paradisiacal angels reside.
A myriad of creatures, ebony and betide
A dinkum dissolute and a discreet divine,
A degree of dexterity, a denizen decline

Amidst the mahatmas and zeitgeist calls,
An indweller quests for lyricism thrall.
A martyrdom route, an incubus chase,
Eristic battles in the realm...

Move on over ole Joe...

and let the youngbloods take the reins
infusing our promised land with hope.

You done good for America,
serving as laudatory President
from 2020 to the present
Vice President from 2009 to 2017,
and in the United States Senate
from 1973 until 2009.

The nation teeters on the brink...

Life can be strange indeed. I, for instance wear many hats. I am a husband, a father, a grandfather, a Christian, not a Christian, a musician, a poet, an Intra faith proponent, an artist, a worship leader, a sinner, a naturalist, an evolutionist, a skeptic,...

To serve the poor,sick,vulnerable,
She has compassion for the poor.

Mother Teresa,from a well of family sacrificed,
To serve the poor,sick,vulnerable.

Till my eyes would turn dry..
and i would feel dizzy...

screaming nerves accussing mi..
i stood accussed of abuse

flowers, flowers, flowers;

marigold flowers, jasmine flowers,
rose flowers, bougainvillea flowers,
carnation flowers, petunias flowers;

flowers in opponent, flowers in proponent.
red, white, blue, yellow, black, green flowers:
fragranced flowers, fungus flowers,
poisonous flowers, scented flowers,
strong flowers, wrong flowers;
flowers scanty, flowers plenty.

all these flowers...

An Open Debate, We Await...

Hohoho.....

Someone is so full of himself and sounded so arrogant...
So full of self importance to come across as belligerent...

Issuing an open challenge for a public debate any time and place in Bolehland...
That brave but brash man is now caught like a...

rushes now the spill of feet
a lunar festival right nto moonlight
skirts flaring, hats flipping
as silhouettes swagger with desire
bosoms advancing retracting
against tunes from guitars and tambourine

slay this fiesta with quickening of heels
an extravaganza which shrieks
in the thrill of music
refined by the ecstasy reeled by
tiptoes midway...the exchanges
arm...

Perhaps like a lightning
bolt of clear out of the blue
rigor mortis (tenon and
three decades hence)
two thousand fifty nine if you
count from January 13th 2019, adieu

attest that day 9 months I did brew
in wound (of the late Harriet Harris),
now finds me loved ones
crying boo hoo,
after this...

On Mother's Day.
That Sabbath Day, I put flame to eight candles and knelt down to pray.

I humble myself with fasting to intensify my communication with God who is our all and all.
During that spiritual and very significant time of the morning, I gave our powerful...

I am a self-confident sort of person
Very aware of what I know for sure,
A strong proponent of truth-telling
Separating out the obvious manure.

Considering various points of view
Trying to arrive at fair conclusions,
I am willing to debate with anyone
Oft coming away with contusions.

I really don’t care for...

Some days do not go quite the way that you planned;
surprises will often fall right in your lap.
Today, such a day, but all ended quite grand;
inflexible schedules can become a trap.

So did I leave chores on the table undone?
They’ll be there tomorrow; of this I...
