Best Saver Poems

His body cringed and whined in a terrible anguish,
Counted gasps of last breaths foreboding his hopeless waiting,
His master whom he longed to see before his soul will finally be freed,
Will no longer return and their memories in her mind may even fade.

It was his second...

Let me tell you a story
Many years ago I bought a puppy
Displayed at the street corner for sale
Caged alone under the sun, hungry and frail.

When the street vendor handed him to me
He licked my hands, wagged his tail happily
He ate three bananas in my basket
Poor...

Calvin Borel-
Another defeat for you on the rail
Super Saver put the others through hell!
2:04:45- 
Another winner did you contrive.
Borel, three wins in four years-
My man is definitely feared
by his peers!

Super Saver,
Though not the favor(ite)
On this day of mud and muck
You were the Savior!
In the Belmont...

I was sincere. 
And you
kissed my eyes like I was your favorite Lego- 
too precious to throw 
into the garage sale. 
Or a creepy crawler you keep between the mattress
and box spring of your bed
because the 
colors of this 
worm bring you
closer to God.

Wrap me...

Dressed up in white shirts and ties
Into the church, we quietly walked
Mommy told us to, "Sit down here",
In the next row where she stopped

While I was standing on the pew
A man stopped by for just a while
He said, "Hi Mary, how are you?"
"I'm fine, thanks!",...

DID YOU SAY CLOWN OR DROWN

I aimed my eyes essentially to the east
While trying to escape a beast
I looked to the sanctimonious sea
With waves intent on drowning me

I heard some underwater creatures having a discussion
And with every word I understood each repercussion
They said there is...

A superstitious belief on black cats
is rebutted by my old  black pet, Ming
She saved my life when I was still a kid
while seated on the grass near bamboo slats
where a small brown snake beneath was lurking
then slid.

By my side was brave Ming, facing the...

I am a woman saver
I see them all depleted and torn
Smashed and squashed
Down in ditches

I try to pull them out
Not using church or books of man
I put my arms out but they do not leap into them
They think I am a killer, a maniac, someone...

In the photograph before me,
stretched out to fit the screen,
the faces that smile out at us
are not what they would seem.


But each a silent witness 
of the pain that haunts the soul 
and each a careful construct 
that only has one goal:

to build a bridge...

The saver


He began saving money when 15 years old, liked to see
 his bank account grow, not for him to spend money on
restaurants, drink beer with friends.
He inherited his mother`s house, repaired it cheaply by
stealing materials at building sites; he was rather proud
of how little...

The ultimate bug saver is my cousin Clementine.
She makes them into friends and helps them dine.
Termites have eaten the woodwork off all of her walls.
Crickets and roaches follow her to all of her malls.

She cannot step on one, she says it would make her ill.
They...
