Best Ready To Hand(P) Poems

'Twas the night before Christmas, all children were in bed
Elves were loading the sleigh, for Santa's big night ahead
A heavy fall of fresh snow had now covered the ground
The whole world was hushed, there wasn't a sound.

Santa went over to the stables to round up...

After I thought a while it seemed clear
it wasn’t the yap, yap, buzz, ring, chat
that drove him away from the city.
Nor the police alarm yaw-yahing 
saying danger or someone hurts.

It was the hands. Hands reaching
to touch his face, his hands, head.
Hand to rub his belly...

I love the smell of the lake at dawn,
It's so peaceful here, just to sit and listen
No sounds but the waves slapping,
 against the shore.
Birds  fly by undisturbed catching
 the mornings breeze.
I've watched many sunrise here,
 With mother nature as mine only campaign.
That’s just...

Barco do Boa Vista 2 

Windswept, worn and weary sails
You might think that this boat ails
But with sound and sturdy, solid mast
She sails the ocean's waves at last

There was one here not long before her
But she sailed away to who knows where
Perhaps the Pirates thought...

Plastic rainbow of my own hot air.

Blowing into it all my frustrations.

Give it a strike to show it whose boss.

How quickly I’m mesmerized as I watch it spin.

Leaves me smiling for no apparent reason.

Takes me back to when cares were none.

Any game ready at hand...

WITHOUT A WORD OF A LIE


Please Sir, I’m sorry my homework is late.
I tried very hard to complete my verse.
But I’ve had writer’s block, which isn’t great,
And last week it seemed to get even worse
But last night my inspiration returned
My head overflowed with words quite...

There is an aura for the moment looking gloom 
Closing in on climatic resolution known as high noon 
Weather was dealt the color grey 
Heavy clouds outdoor on this day 
Blocking the sun from peeking through 
Temperatures hot relatively cool 
Glaring distractions are wearing nature’s...

Wake

What is that noise?
I have heard it before?
In the ramblings...
of my loved ones words? 

I must get up and seek it out.
I rise like the house is on fire...
but in fear of being alive, 
but dead still. 
I rush.
I place my slippers on my feet,...

A dull ache becomes masked by a generous shot. More and more opium pours into her trampled vein. Her heart slowly beats, the mania creeps, and she slowly loses a piece of herself. Drowning her past sorrows beats keeping up with the pain. Facing mighty...

The worker bees, are a hardy bunch,
They wake at four, and prepare their lunch.
It’s off to the mines, for another day,
To stir the pots, and earn their pay.

Their hard hats on, with small yellow lights,
Standing in line, to work into nights.
The start of the mine,...

Cheese dip slip


The cheddar and gouda were ready, my hand with the knife very steady
The party was moments away and I had to be quick

The chips and hors d’oeuvres were all plated, but still I was far from elated
The cheeses I needed to cut were...

Born in a neighborhood where crime is the law
Mom dragged me out before I had learned to talk
Out of the frying pan, into the flame
Into a new hood where it all was the same

Do children know when it's gone wrong?
You'd never catch me singing the...

Welcome friends, time for an education
let's digest what Mark 9:23 is;
"...all's possible," even for your imagination
"...just believe," and you won't miss.

You see, Jesus told this young man
that all's possible if he can believe;
just keep your prayers ready at hand
even if you want to visit the...
