Best Richest Poems
Your smiles-pearls
Your caresses-gold
Your kisses-diamonds
Your love-a mythical treasure!
Having you by my side, my darling,
No richer man than myself, could ever
Be Found!

*Chosen as POTD! Thank you!
Literature was pursued
by the greatest individuals who ever lived,
and they left us works of unsurpassable wisdom;
human emotions have always been the same,
and this can't attest to the fact that they will not change anytime soon,
but the freer we are, the further we go up in our balloon.
The richest heritage of Humankind
is found in the written word, which is heard often and not really understood;
where would we be today without the plays and sonnets of Shakespeare that were quite sad,
or Dante's famous canto, not excluding superb works by modern writers?...
During the dark ages, monks translated books from Greek and Latin into common languages;
as the barbarians destroyed everything found in their path, civilization did not end.
Tragedies of famous people attracted the lucrative minds of poets who had heard of them,
thus embellishing them with their vivid imagination and present actual facts...I follow in
their poetic footsteps, writing down stories that have recently happened, or occurred
before I was born; and with ideas as interesting as theirs, I continue in that tradition
without envying their unaging expressions and distinguished style, but by aggrandizing them.
Literature has finally found its merited place in History, unlikely a hundred years ago,
more people are voraciously reading, and keeping the writers busy by admiring
their sensational works, making comments of encouragement to boost up their optimism;
and to theaters they go and spent an entire night to listen to drama and satire...to scoff,
laugh, or cry when emotions intensify by the sconces of the electric lights; and cheering,
they applaud the richest heritage of Humankind on stage, and are captivated by its scenario.

Life’s Richest Treasure
Within a love that knows no bounds or heights
It is life’s richest treasure
With beauty and pleasure
With two hearts mending
leading to a happy road
forever with joy
longing for your hand to hold
it is love that fulfills life
we shall always share
memories as twilight falls
be there at your side
Three verse contest
Kimo,Tanka, Senryu
Oh a Nation of Assault
Whilst we're all in default
Reminescent of former cataclysm
Government locked the vault
how much longer shall we wait
as the grey haired fools debate
Listening to the tale of jobs they will avail
A generation of innovation is at hand
will they listen
So prosperity can expand
the families suffer
with little buffer
When healthcare is in despair
and college loans unfair
Senior citizens living on a prayer
Its hard to be aware
Do you Dare
Corporate Greed is how they feed
starts as a seed, becomes a need
Dictate Dictate Dictate
Then they turn the table and
give the activist a label
They wont be happy till they are done
When no one can afford to have fun
Theres a lot pain
When your at the bottom of the food chain
In the richest nation in the world
When I count the possessions
I have in my life
And on dark days
See them as few.
I'm reminded of something
I have beyond price
All my riches are
There in you.....
The warmth of your smile,
The touch of your hand,
The sweet gentleness
In your eyes.
The unselfish love
You unfailingly give,
I know you are
My richest prize.
a poor man feels free
for he knows God will be there
in each waking hour
If only you caught a real sense of admiration for him,
drew near his coffee-scented academic gown,
by chance you grew together with my cherished Daddy
His adult years had little need of an accurate blood testing
instrument to do a circumspect study and prediction
Dubai is not for the faint-hearted, home of the richest rich.
They have outdone themselves in their hotels and buildings
Fabulous home of the rich and famous, opulence rules here
The richest child in the world is the one who knows love
Who possesses enough so that life is not tough
A hat in the winter, a jacket in spring, and food for a belly, are plenty of things
Their memories won't consist of many a toy, cause the ones that all matter are made up of joy
Time spent playing, so simple in task, passing a football, with his dad playing catch
Baking some cookies, with her mom playing tea, these are the things that make memories.
The richest man in town was
Arrogant and selfish
And we stayed away from him
Until he won the lottery
Then we galivanted to his house
Thinking he would share
Forgetting that your personality does not change
Just because you win a mere sixty-three million dollars
The daring, the richest
The richer the rigid
It's Richard the bigger?
Go fetch this
Rich leather, how wretched
Best than is better
How clever now saver
Severe savor
The flavor
Treasure the pleasure
Such leather whatever
The favor flash this
Cash that fund-a-mental
Incident now Chase her
Scotch on the rocks no chaser
I swear it I swear.
Baby I'm going out
On the roadside, beneath the street lamp
Sits a beggar and his hair are drenched in dirt.
In the winter dusk , his worn out clothes
Were not covering him completely.
The dew started falling, and he started shivering,
And the crowd is still passing , neglecting him,
After some time, he started smiling
I wondered, "what an irony ! A man in such a
Bad condition, can even laugh at someone!"
But that was not a teasing smirk or an arrogant smile.
It was a self satisfactory smile,
He took his 'RUMAAL' , opened its knot
And took out a bread .
But he didn't eat it , he sensed it.
He was proud of his whole day's income
He was just going to eat it, but a dog came to him ,
It was on three legs , a limb broken,
Apparent greed was shining in its eyes for the bread ,
He laughed , and didn't hesitate a bit to give the bread away.
He is still, lying there, with his empty stomach,
But with his satisfied soul!
"Oh lord ! No one is more richer than him today.
His richness has made me a beggar"!
I am now again
Start to learn the life
Both of the shape
Life lighted way as well as
The darker side
I am silently watching
Beauty of moon in the night
And try to search you in moon view
I am watching rising sun
And keep going with him whole day
May be my luck do support
And I view your fabulous view
Despite of all complication
Journey of life moving on the way
May be any day you go polite
And accept my proposal
And turn me in richest man
Who made them richest?
Innovation made them richest, does it? Really?
Yes, what about people who are using and paying for that
Aren’t people who made them richest?
It’s the intelligence but people ignorance and no intelligence made them richest
Did they invent something which saves life, expands life and people were after it?
No, not really something which infact not really use for them but still we have been attracted or rather the perfect word used is marketed, hence they became rich.
I really not understand being engaged in a app, tool, machine made them richer rather than inventing a life saving drug.
Now, with the whoesome money around the world, they are dreaming to occupy the entire planet or being patent for another planet of this universe.
People are really good great and less intelligent, more life goes on by looking at others.
People loves to look at himself, so people nature made them richest.
The richest man, in the world
To be at the top of a trade or business must be a burden
that also goes for famous artists
I'm thinking of a man so wealthy he can buy anything
he desires, is there such a thing as limitless preference?
for a business type, it must be hard
to understand
people who are happy with less and have no hunger
to walk the extra mile for slippery glory and medals
and prizes were given to him for his wealth and not
for his personality, that when faced with
the nonpractical discourse appears to falter
there is, of course, the desire to get what you want
but paying for it, which, since it was not given freely
loses its allure, and a sense of bitterness seeps in
to be the top dog dominating the backyard is manly
but to be loved for its own sake is much more sane
