Best Prospect Poems

Vague words lead poets to heady heights far yonder
If we, like Wordsworth,   seek a path to’ wander.’
But words there are whose power is less prolific,
Dwindling  fast the more they are specific. 
Sententious and meaningful are rhymes
Which great  poets have utilized at...

The approbation for approval of a bountiful elicitation.

An evocation that is a stimulant. 

As it  calls up (draws forth) a particular class of behavior.

Thus, we draw out  an altruism for the philanthropic devotion,

To the said principles; henceforth, being compliant and acquiescence.

We  follow...

The truth was here 
The letters  were sent 
The mistakes were seen 
The marks were clear  
The proof was real 
The smudges  were seen
The words were unclear 
The perfection had an imperfection  
The vision was never clear 
The journey was often...

Where is the hope in the stars?
Tonight they shine not in celestial glory.
I must find them in my grief,
Those traditions of lost allegory.
 
Life was never so intense
Too easily cast away from the body
So have we been tossed aside;
Left behind without amnesty?

Tears have no shelter...

Peachy at first glance
A keeper or a hustler
Only time will tell
Trust your instincts but beware
Should your prospect go astray...

sappy valentine
brown-eyed largesse broke my heart
a little, too much—
godspeed ahead…my sailor
celebrates the day we met

David and I met 42 years ago on Valentine’s Day
in Navy “A” school. He brought me to see the
submarine trainer - awooga awooga (or gaga for short ;)...

Once again back to the routine,
spending eight hours within the pretty hate machine.

My outlook is better than it has been for a while,
yesterday was the first time it felt good to smile.

All I can think about, the one's I love to make myself complete
I never...

I am really bald on top.
But still I grew my hair.
And now I don't know where to stop.
I truly just don't care.

I'm 59 and live alone.
So no one to impress.
It's longer than I've ever grown.
Sometimes I look a mess. :)

It's funny how the time goes...

C-loud beneath the sky 
H-as its own silver lining, 
E-xpressing new hope.

Peace is found when people come to their senses
Stop the bickering and contentious debates
Words of anger fortify our defenses
   Peace is found when people come to their senses
   We should make restitution and mend fences
    Arguing is one...

In this near future
I’ll never die
I must never open my eyes to cry
In this near future
It seems I have cursed this presence of life
I have placed doom 
Upon any courtesy of essence due to what’s right 
Your angel of light
One flash
A simple loan of your...

Look up to the mountain so high
according to your eyes, it's very far
it seems way out of your reach
so many miles away from being a star

Realise there is a calling upon us
this calling has a divine hand
one that power's not human
but is eternal forever to...

I was working for this South African company,
For its Lesotho registered segment.
I wasn't of the long serving ones
But a relative new comer.
Here we were in this industry:
Sales for an insurance company.

I had something of a different style
To how things were generally done.
Small premiums with government...

If it's true that unfulfilled expectations
And no prospect of a better future
Shake a man to his foundations
Then our world must have system failure!
Many decisions can't be right,
Many reactions can't be polite!...
