Best Questionku Poems
only daughter
beautiful moon face
will his love eclipse mine
Dancing Water
silk cobalt tide
narwhals take a dive
How deep is the big sea?

trying to do
the things I adore
where did my hours all go
sometimes for hours
I work on a poem
what do I have to show
counting my carbs
and calories too
why is weight loss so slow
behind someone
while driving, I ask
how slow can one guy go
even at Soup
bad manners ensue
when will peace start to flow
of life and death -
the actual truth
will it be good to know

eyes tightly closed
still i see your face
how long will you haunt me
I’m stuck in traffic
Crawling like a slimy slug
Why call it rush hour?

Completely absorbed,
the young zealot rips his foe
limb from bloody limb. . .
From his parents’ TV drones
more talk of terrorism.
in their own worlds -
thrilling for the kill. . .
can they learn compassion?
kids playing games
like “Modern Warfare”. . .
how can violence stop?

for Yasmin Khan's Video Games Played Poetry Contest
you are watching
paying attention
is that how it is done
start with a kiss
working your way down
will her screams fill the air
in a dark room
seeing with your hands
can you find the right spot
licking flicking
articulate tongue
will a word be spoken
moaning loudly
fire deep inside
is his hose long enough
bending backwards
gymnastic marvel
will she earn perfect 10
champagne on ice
picnic in forest
is romance in the air
drops to one knee
ready to propose
what will her answer be
she shyly smiles
gives him her reply
will wedding bells ring out
diamond sparkles
third finger left hand
should they ring their parents
plans to be made
venue needs choosing
how much will it all cost
big day arrives
bride and groom smiling
will their happiness last

If you draw your child away from normal play, activities and behaviour
By forcing them to lie about their true desires,
Then where’s the love?
the one thing she wants
is the one thing she can't have
when will her tears dry
JADE
Smiling, the house
opens to the sun
Are you ready for school
Groaning, the bed
covers up his ears
D'you think you can fool me
Snowflake feathers
Drift down from the sky
Who fluffs these downy clouds?
When civil war's
knocking at your door
Isn't it up to you
A 'little lie' never
stands alone it is
anchored by many
great lies
the freedom a little
lie promises is the
existance of a
unicorn-a mystery
The only short way out a
little lie point is but a
teenagers fantacy of a
perfect man-a lie
Why lie?

That's my father there
why pour him more liquor?
