Best Said Poems

POTD 27 Sept 2023

~LOVE SAID ~
"Go find her, set her free."

In my search, I found an array of colourful petals,
An abundance of aromatic aromas.

Each one, I hydrated with my blood and tears,
But each one pricked me with their thorns.

Fatigued ~ pondering an end to my...

Remember that night, one of so many of course
When the waitress asked if we were on our first date
We’d talked for three hours till our voices were hoarse
The laughter we shared no one could create

It must have been the joy in our hearts she saw
For...

Who bade your life to live as such
pervading hearts with perfumed nose?
As down thy petals tempt the touch
when all for passions sake you're chose.

With lifetimes taken to bloom no more
you flower to favor all those who mourn,
then dance to dirges at misfortunes shore
un-bowing in tribute...

Top 10 things my dogs have never said to me.   Ever!

Number 10…"Can we get a cat?"

Number 9…"No,…As a matter of fact I`m not happy to see you."

Number 8…"That`s ok, you eat the rest of that rib eye."

Number 7…"Sorry about your friends leg, and...

You looked down at me, blue eyes intent on freezing, looked past my tears,  and 
said you loved me.
There was no expression on your face, no warmth in your kiss, you told me you 
cared, and wanted only me.
I placed my hands on your...

She said..
I'm gonna kiss you in slow motion
Maybe take a ride upon your ocean

I'd like to pull you gently into me
The way salt dances in the sea

I'm gonna tease you with my hair
Let you touch me here and there

Teach me things that I don't know
Like...

Someone said, Hey Christopher


Someone said, “Hey Christopher,
what’s up with all this love
It seems in every poem
that is all you’re thinking of

Why are you always dreaming,
why is it you can’t see
That love is just a legend,
a made up fallacy

The world is filled with evil,
don’t you watch...

Said the moon to the sun
   I was the first across the sky to run

Said the sun to the moon
   True, but you can have your dark evenings and nights
  
For I've got bright mornings and blazing high-noons  ...

*For anyone who had a companion dog that grew old and tired*

I am gazing out across an empty land,
there is not a thing that interests me.
There is no happiness, in any tear I weep,
for it’s so hard to set your best friend free.

Simply there’s no...

                      (Especially, for new writers)

Just as in real life, some poets have the art of wearing masks of friendship.
You will know, when they stop...

mother said that I was her angel
she surrounded me always with her love and warmth
and since her death I have been empty
there are days when I am angry

with my mother I could share each secret
every nightmare dreamt
she would help me solve a problem
and send away...

The Things Our Parents Said
By Robert (Bob) Moore

The things that we remember, from days of long ago
we believed, it was all true, our parents told us so
we now know they were kidding us, a trick on me and you
to make us do just what it...

Santa challenged Jesus,
his words were cold as ice;
"I bring toys and happiness"
"I love this festive life"

"I travel around the world,
bringing lots of cheer"
"I have my own shop,
with strapping reindeer"

"I can fly up a chimney,
with a finger aside my nose"
"My elves are working daily,
with bells upon...

An apple every day, he said to me.
Berries too, for your recovery.

Can I have just one small slice of pie?

Doctor nearly glared into my eye!
Even nuts and cheese you must not eat.

For Heaven's Sake, Doctor,  I need a treat!

Good food should not be processed, white...

Listen, Heathcliff, don't get me wrong,
but hanging with you isn't good.
You're a dragon, and I'm a mouse,
last night you said you understood.

That weird look in your eye says that
you want more than a cup of tea.
Now don't go getting teary-eyed,
yesterday, you almost drowned me!

I know...
