Best Riches Poems

Such riches I have known beyond compare
Which neither gold nor sapphire could outshine; 
The scent of honeysuckle in the air
Or velvet touch of newborn skin on mine.

My senses have rejoiced at the array
Of tantalising tastes and sweet perfumes.
Each season bears its own unique display
And year...

who, with boundless courage, sought a place where freedom was limitless and prized--from the Jersey shores to the Appalachians they trekked, finding bottomless seams of black gold, but the riches of...

If you saw a rainbow and you clambered up one side
And then whizzed down the other like it was a massive slide
I have to say it all sounds like a lot of fun to me
But when you got back down again, I wonder where you'd...

Drought Riches in the Desert

my life is so dry
that I can fill the desert
lands fill the gulf and valleys
shuck pay dirt yet I'm
I am not rich yet so I
confess it's just grains of sand

I have heard of it,
I was in it,
I have imagined it,
But I am yet to experience it.

What is this dream?
Who is this dream for?
Is it a dream for the wealthy and the powerful?
The politicians and the Gangs?
The Cartels and the Mafia?
Drugs and substance abuse?

Is it...

Riches and poverty that's the only line drawn amongst us  
Each side fears the other for some reasons
Know one thing and understand both
Riches can never buy everything in this world
Poverty doesn't also put you at the lower end
Know the strengths and weakness to beat...

Looking around at others
Pure envy is what i see,
They have beautiful things
For its hand downs for me.

I want a new career
But what am i to do,
I have no real experience
At least compaired to you.

My clothes have no style
I need to win the lottery,
Oh what i...

A pauper begs at the town gate
and sets, each day, a date with fate.
He harbours dreams where riches flow
but morning finds him on skid row.

I wish to be a rich one
Respected for all I have
People making way for me

Given a wealth of knowledge
Helping those who are in need
With a humble heart

Poets ponder
They cannot squander
A stipend they do not receive

For paid in thought
Their piece of mind
Are words formed and conceived

A tale of sorts
Depiction of life
Even death, if they so choose

Sometimes humor
So often, strife
Sometimes fake and sometimes true

To live on poetry
Getting paid for thoughts
Is not within the...

Riches Of The Heart
Joanna Davis


Tinkle, tinkle, all is glass!
Ruby link to emerald clasp.
Bright and shining clear and cold,
Bewitching both the young and old.

Some thought Africans “quite deranged,”
When for gold, beads they exchanged.
Yet no jewelled trinket, on the skin,
Compares to beauty from within.

Sailors crossed the ocean...

If I were a rich man I tell you what I'd do;
I would sleep all day and drink all night;
Til I was bored and could snore no more,
Then I would look to see if I could find me,
When I did I would climb in a...

Most everyone would like to be a millionaire
Which accounts for the record lottery sales
A win will get you short-lived publicity’s glare
Reality will take the wind out of your sails.

Everything about your life would be changed
As folks would look at you in a different way
Your children...
