Best Raring Poems

POTD 30th August 2018 

The gently swaying branches of the old oak should elicit calmness
And yet a sense of foreboding permeates the midnight air
Wild imaginings?  Or did shadows flit across the leaf strewn path?
No time to dwell ~ She must make haste
Long afore the...

Dedicated to a fine poet on soup, Lin Lane

I shook hands with my brother and bade him farewell
Then set off on my journey away from this hell
Mexico I’d head for and buy a small farm
Meanwhile back in town the guards raised the alarm.

A posse they...

Old John's birthday was fast approaching, he'd be seventy-two
And his family asked him nicely what he would like to do
"Do you fancy a nice picnic or sightseeing on a train?" 
"No thanks" said Old John "I'd like to wing walk on a plane ".

His family...

On Being Alone

We smirk at those who are alone.
We are better we think as busy bees.
Perhaps they never considered, what
It's like to those really alone.

We look at you and wonder why.
You fill each second with things
Not even worth a try.
Women..do know  what I mean.

Your...

I learn from you, dear garden, wisdom vivacious,
You are a vast archive, that makes my life gracious;
You give feast to my sensory organs and mind,
Your means of living and letting live, makes me kind...!

I, often, feel sad, seeing your seed planted, dead,
But, soon wonder in...

`Twas Christmas Eve and in the air a chill 
Rudolph had to stand down cos he felt ill
Santa started to panic
So he sent for a medic 
Who in error gave Rudolph a blue pill.

He soon perked up and was raring to go
Santa was pleased and...

You are a narcissist and a gas lighter although you claim that you’re not, can’t you see inside, the decay of your soul? The turmoil, all of the rot
 I guess that you can’t because you’re in admiration of yourself, the person who is perfect...

Jack and Sam
were two inseparable souls
Best friends tend to be like that,
especially if both were born on the same day
They were two good looking kids,
who liked to play rough and tumble
Didn't mind scraping their knees on the ground
They had a zest for life, most people...

Cascading in a rush
With a vociferous gush
Big drops on the crown
Poured steadfastly down
Amidst lightening and storm
And a loud thunderous sound
Playful restless 
With a mischievous step
Banging at the door
Of her little head
 A frenzied lot
Of deafening knocks 
Raring roaring
Persistent, non stop...
Deftly she caught some
Coalesced  them...

Humpty Dumpty starred in a nursery rhyme…
His fall accordingly was the talk at that time
Soon it was labeled as a mysterious crime
Needing solution through wisdom’s prime!

Here am I submitting my document
Compliant to prudent investigative requirement.
The facts are now ready for scrutiny’s engagement  
Detailing Humpty...

Five PM - A Jungle


Tires screeching,
Fan belts squealing,
Bumper to bumper,
Crawling like snails,
Horns blaring,
Engines raring,
Poison spewing,
Tempers flaring,
People Swearing,
Sweat dripping,
Predators on the loose,
Darting in and out,
Running traffic lights,
Scurrying here and there,
Police in hibernation,
Five PM - It's a Jungle!...

We'd been travelling through the night, and we needed a rest
The unmerciful sun was now rising above a rocky red crest
We headed for a large boulder that offered plenty of shade
Jenna was getting sick and delirious, and she needed medical aid.

I knew we must keep...

Heard that love makes the world go round
With the ladies that may be true
But us macho dudes play a different tune
The wee guy downstairs is our cue

To beg and plead for a romp in the hay
We act kinda silly and mushy
Pretending a love song is...

after long raring
orchids come into flower
purple desire...

Oh in the early days you couldn’t wait to get your hands on my curves
Now I am getting older, you simply don’t want to know

The times you got my motor running
How you loved to get me all fired up
Engines firing we went the full distance

Suddenly...
