Best Reft Poems

With the incoming sounds of spring, a resurrection of life,  
the chilliness flees. Quote _ by Poet 



Ready for a new season, Spring birds
Shake off winter; embracing 
The bonniest warmness weather,
Babies born, and color of nature's crowns.

Scarlet Tanagers chatter, flying round,
Feasting on caterpillar’s slowness...

The year is 2025
I have come back to my past
To witness the Mayans
Who said Earth would not last

2012
Was the year they declared
That the planet we knew
Could never be spared

An Asteroid shower
We could never comprehend 
Sends this heaven to hell
In catastrophic spend

The first to hit
Was the...

Once again, the powers that must
In rise again in what we trust
An overseas conflict, another war
Just what in the hell are we fighting for

Families are asking, Korea has just passed
Generations again reft, how long will it last
A country in need, to rebuild again
Flags at half...

The reasoning has befallen, on a rock she now prays
Dark cobalt blue tides, like counters, our end of days
Wildlife in sporadic, escaping to not
Whilst a sky filled abyss, shall stop the clock

Angelic she sits, in wonderment of her see
Knowing what lies ahead, adventures in neverland...

At Cape Canaveral
Working for CNN
Carolyn Devonshire
With a news bulletin
 
    In less than three days
    The second comet will hit home
    All the worlds governments are working
    To halt it's destructive roam

We waited many years the few of us that are left
In our minds we couldn't imagine the surface on our earth so reft
What we knew before we will never know again
That man can be so destructive, and no one ever gains

Slowly we start to climb...

being born started it
awakening amidst fire
heat, I prefer cold
homeless, what we had, is gone
broken family moves on

parental split cries
leaves divided broken souls
our goals, torn, unfold
illness kicks in, worrying
two boys, so young amidst such

sprightly playing I
tall grass lies hidden dangers
out stretched hands protect
such pain, excruciating
crimson flow...

Deathless Aches, Heart's Desires


Thoughts of Heart are as mystical ships that traverse
Ranging amidst the restless ocean ways,
Their crimson prows surging through the sunrise,
Their golden sails adream in evening haze.

Thoughts of broken spirit wander sadly
Unfriendly waters; raging, storm-shattered they roam;
Sea-reft their beauty, moaning all their music,
No...

Welcome back as I hear my past present
Oration I'd thought I'd never hear again
Reacting hopefully patriotic for it never leaves
Longing, such longing, to dismiss the present past
Deliver from today's tomorrow's to no longer grieve

Cumulative human insubordination life rife 
Reactionary leaving many innocents reft
Under clear azure...

I heard on the news
Another two are lost
That makes 206
Is there, a whatever the cost
 
We are there to assist
A country so reft
Inner fighting
To help the rest of the left
 
Guerrilla warfare
Tactically strong
Thousands of miles
Where we don't belong
 
The people we vote in
Would they go...

Doth if not thrill thee, Poet,
Dead and dust through thy art,
To feel how I press thy singing
Close to my heart?

You tell of a forlorn maiden
So much out of time,
Diminish stance, witless mind
Reft, with thy Rhyme.       

Alas, it is so...

How many out there
How many are left
That policed these horrors
That left families reft
 
Survivors, their ancestors
News to tell
Demjanjuk the accessory
Last of your camps Hell
 
His liberty gone, free since 1952
Deportation granted, his health astrew
Tell that to the thousands, he never bothered to save
As the rains...

It was on the eve of Sunday, November 2nd, 1834
The day grew dark and gloomy like it never had before
Island sounds in diminish, a hush befalls my ears
The community of Amhuinnsuidhe was about to enter fear

A Princess known as Raven who died in years gone...

Through life, reft with emptiness
Drifting deepless from pillar to post
Wondering if it'll ever end
To extinguish these reoccuring ghosts

The feeling of awakening each day
Seeing loved ones there then gone
Afraid of the evening ahead
Knowing tomorrow's a different song

With closed eyes I sit in wonderment
In appreciation as to...
