Best Request Poems

Richard Lamoureux has not forgotten me during my absence. He faithfully visits my older writes and leaves lovely encouraging comments. While I'm busy working on my thesis, I got this notification on this poem. 

Richard's comment: I felt like I read it for the first...

"LORD ~ I Have A Request"


              ~ LORD ~ 
I needn't tell YOU
  what's happening these days.
This beautiful world YOU created 
   is hurting in so many ways!

The ugliness...

The sick elephant, perished at sunset!
Headline news, tears, anger, outrage and scorn.
A worldwide sadness, her baby just born!
Monies were collected, protests in the streets.
Medallions with her picture worn,ah, hearts so torn!

A chickadee flew up to me
And chirped out a request -
Please fill the backyard feeder
‘Fore I head back to my nest.

I had indeed put out some feed
But clearly not enough,
So other birds had polished off
The nuts and fruits and stuff.

I would have bet I’d never...

Don't go before me, please stay awhile, 
I want to remember your quirky smile 
and your dancing eyes and the lilt of your voice 
and the way you laughed when I gave you the choice 
of marrying me or, something worse,
to wander the earth forever...

   Condemned to death
     prisoner's granted one last request

   Gimme a divorce, said he
     Wherever he's headed ~
               ...

Lupita…forgive me, 
For I would never sin from these 
lips, 
Such words that would spoil the beauty 
of your existence;
But if you requested such a crime, I’d argue 
for remnants of your time, 
And charm you as my fatal audience. 

Of these things I would...

The knob turned
And opened the door
The door of the apartment
On the first floor
And the sudden gasp
Of air that the fireplace exhaled 
Knocked an ember 
To the floor
An ember that had been glowing
In the hearth
The room, a peaceful space
Warm but gloomy
As it slowly cooled down
The mercury...

Silence is Deafening

Around us everyday,
Are the sounds that are made.

Through all the noises that can I hear,
My mind races all alone I fear.

Dreaming of a time that I could listen,
To share with someone that I've been missing.

How can I be, so alone in this crowd,
Sounds...

HUMBLE REQUEST
Life,if you could be nice to me for a second,
Trust me, I will make you proud
I will grow to become a legend
For even without words, my presence will be so loud


Trust me, I will make you proud
You and I will be respected by all...

They all heard him say in Calcutta,
addressing the ball, with his putter,
"Before we begin,
I'd quite like to win,
so please, pop it in," he would mutter.

Opening the fridge,
All of the chocolate gone-
Shivers down my spine....

Mother’s Day Request

Will you please come home to visit me?
I’m getting quite old it’s plain to see.
Your Mom is lonely, sad, and blue,
This Mother’s Day can’t be good without you

The table is set with my best china,
It’s time for you to come home to Carolina.
There...

A Friend Request on Facebook

By Elton Camp


Facebook can get you into an awkward situation
When as a friend someone seeks your affirmation

For if their request you decide should be declined
It’s not reasonable to think that they won’t mind

One who perhaps was trying to get on better...

     Womb Tomb

The baby loved the heart music of her mother to be!
She heard the water running
all over Mommy’s body and
breast, 
As she listened so ever so intently!

“One day I will see Mother’s lovely, happy face.
It is getting way too small...
