Best Scrolled Poems

Medicine Hat Appaloosa
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Remember free will too has been gifted,
with freedom allied to fate's fickle choice.
Tendered words uttered still..now uplifted, 
God provides each one a life and a voice.

Ere life ebbs and scrimshaw scrolled hands beckon, 
find strength in Medicine Hat horse's paint.
Flesh prized and spirit...

Wipe that silly grin from your face, boy
I am a woman, but certainly not a wimp
Watch me roll with the punches, tough guy
It'll take more than your words my style to crimp


    Hey, babe, your style really sucks
    Call...

As I lie on my bed reading my book

My mind wondered to a look and a smile

Staring down on me. I turn to cry awhile.

I could not stay focused; I closed the book.

I remembered I had my husband's phone

Number in my contacts. I reached for...

There were so many books at Barnes and Noble’s
That I wanted to buy but I wasn’t able
Up at the counter with my chin in my hand
I said to the sales clerk… I have another plan

At my low bank balance I did curse 
As I put...

Before the stars were created,
there pulsar shined an infinity Light 
in the primordial void

It shone soul supernova bright,
before the world ever was

Before this blue marble of green was made,
there moon glowed a celestial Son
Whose solar mercy was salvation poised

A Halo silhouette cast in the Genesis...

The October sun beamed down on my face
As the leaves twirled around me, in this place
Shades of blue decorated the sky, above
As I tried to capture a warm glimpse of love
Waiting for me, where trees held color tight
With warm breeze messages sent through the night
Then...

I heard my name in the wind where the willows do weep,
Such a moment of bliss I will evermore keep.

For I sat in the silence, just a moment or two,
With paper and pen, thinking only of you.

Then I scrolled out a verse, a most delicate...

Among the souls of empty hearts


O distant bells of steeples chime
in echoed hymns of saddened weep
Comes again the midnight hour, 
down dampened cobblestone to creep
 
Along the darkened streets they roam
of alleyways and torches fed.
To reap the fortunes of desire,
black shadows, piercing eyes of red

At one-thirty in the morning, while I was lying in bed reading my book. 
My mind wondered with thoughts of my husband. I couldn't stay focused on the story. I remembered I had my husband’s phone number in my contacts. I laid my book beside...

I write this poem

I write this poem for you, and for all.
I wish I could catch your tears in a bucket
And put them in a wishing well.
To show you I care in this harsh world out there.
I do wish I could mend your aching heart.
Fill...

The Ash Can  ©

I got the call on Sunday night.  I was traveling on business.  When I looked at the caller ID
 I wondered why my husband’s boss would be calling me.  I was unprepared for what
 he told me and...

Beneath my bark is a whisper stilled in silence,
Scrolled within my rings of age, is a wish waiting
To be answered.
A timeless spark, infused engrain's of wooden pulp,
Legacies promise sense before my birth’s germination,
My special reason for existence.
Warmed by the sun’s rays, cradled by Mother Nature’s
Loving...

Leprechaun - Version 16.0

A Leprechaun who would not rest
Until achieving his virtual best.
Would look for the gold
As he virtually scrolled
To find his emoji treasure chest.

A river folds upon its banks 
with waters deep and cold.
Its molten flow rolls endlessly
from aquifers untold.

It ripples over ancient stones
placed when the earth was cast.
Each sheared and formed the bedrock's course
'neath outflows bold and fast.

Swift currents know of time's slow ebb,
and legends never told.
Its...

Moments passed
Days that took years I gasped
Fragments of yesterday
I skipped and delay

My heart that rolled
From mountain to the ground and scrolled
A wishing heart to touch you again
Missing you, embracing you without pain

Memories you left in me
Accessories I wore and slept with me
Each day I see...
