Best Quire Poems

I wish to
Relay
To all of my people the importance of sticking together as a 
team

And that
Because we have run 
through the preliminary trials as selfish individual, goal seekers
we have barely made it to the finals, 
as if,
 winning our, “Race”
is undoable or un-triable

Have all but...

Lacking 

Lacking eloquence
Lector lacking

Bullfrogs and lemmings crooning
In the swamp of dim intellect
Spewing their haughtiness
Through their noses the spittle drops
Collecting in murky waters

Their stagnation hiding within their bubble of hate
When the swamp dries lest it be said
No one will be opening heavens gate
One can not persuade...

I know not what is this bittersweet
feel as I am trodden by the feet...
...Oh, so dark!...of lonliness
crushed by its smirking ruthlessness.
Battered and bruised by the emotional pain,
enmeshed in a web of tears and pain.
'??',you may quire, and all I can say
you have No idea, how...

buck naked, except for the slippers on my feet.

I didn't dare turn on any lights and wake my...

Not Realizing We Were Obamanizing

Not realizing
We were Obamanizing
Was quire surprising.

Some are disguising
Things they are sermonizing
Need new horizon.

Revitalizing
While riding on big bison
Had John been his son.
(Simple Simon)

Selectivity
May result from brevity
But an entity?

Sure was consistant
They all had been resistant
Not knowing what we meant.

Which political candidate could

When with my wife and son, I first gazed down
At the beauty of Derwentwater in Keswick town
I was moved to awe, admiration and sheer reverence
For I was graced with beauty of such immense presence.

Such scenery, hitherto, I had only vicariously seen
On the artist’s canvas and...

Pitter patter …pitter patter the glorious sound of the rain drops spatter.

The earth rejoices, the trees dance to the rhythm of pitter… Patter, you can see the smiling face of the white lilies by the river side singing and shouting…ho …what a beautiful quire …...

Nine hundred years these arches rang :
With fervent praise the people sang.
In early days the monks would chant
As from the heights bright beams would slant
Illuminating Norman stone
And soften with a pallid light,
With Benedictine monotone,
To put all worldly dark to flight.

With skill, in stone, mere men...

 Going around and around 
 Throughout every single room, 
 Like a cyclone spinning out of control, 
 Without a single trace of visible fur,
 As stripes of gray and cream 
 Collide into the biggest vahroom, 
 She come to a screeching halt....

Easter Is Here In My Heart

Was really not quire sure where or when
I would have to pay for my each sin again
By me being performed and committed
And then my fault must be admitted.

Over and over thought of what I did
Up until now since a small,...

a quire or two, 
or three, may be
uncharterd
uncounted
discounted, maybe
tablets
stone shards
heavy slabs of me
rain soaked reams
sloughed off of me
shoulders of clay
unweighted may be
separate from morass
the mass of me
plunged heavy and sunk
in a literary sea
of words great men
spoke to me
I look for words
so meanings i'll see
and write,...
