Best Seemed Poems

Things that seemed poetic were
always sad, though I yearned for
glitter and my dad's guffaw, which
never came. Familiar things were 
always drear -- repeated motions 
in the same old game. There were 
only distant glimpses of budding
Spring, fleeting views of daffodils. 
The strongest poems dealt me...

Being a nurse I had a good understanding of medications for pain,
Explained to my Obstetrician I wanted everything, I was not insane,
This was my first baby and being in healthcare had very few perks,
I’d be given an epidural when the time came, but not by...

i look to stars and wishes flew through space never to be heard again
fun to friends hearts do meld and break facing until time ends
this loop that plays and beats that syncopate become but a gem
pleasure a chest opened in surprise feeling no need to...

It seemed to me once 
that I told my self : how much I love you 
that I held your hands how warmly I felt 
that I loocked into your eyes , how weakly I melt 
and that I made all those poems just for...

A peaceful day, people smiling, children frolicking. 
Sun was shining, birds were singing,
I remember, I was out walking.
Then my phone started ringing.
Today the world seemed to stop revolving. 

A friend was calling
A long pause was what I was hearing 
My mind starts racing, as a...

The sun rose and the birds chirped in an unusual way,
But no one knew what they did say;

A busy day it would have been,
Disquieting, lo... The future scene;

Unexpected seemed the roaring waves,
Rushing in and out the sandy paves;

Death appeared a second near,
What else would we...

I
had
planned to
open a Jaguar
car Dealership in
Trafalgar Square; the
planners said "It would put 
the cat amongst the pigeons."...

It Seemed Like a Good Idea


It seemed like a good idea at the time.
That’s the problem, it always seems
like a good idea – at the time.  Like
touching the bench wearing the
WET PAINT sign.  First wives are
sometimes like that, and I imagine
they feel the...

The spider found a bunch of grapes
that attached flies and bees
She found it a convenient spot
to cast her web to wait and seize

She set her snare
and settled there
between the cloying grapes
and while her prey is unaware
like a thief she takes.

But is a few days.

The vintager...

Seemed Like for Lifetime Together

In and out of traffic we would weave
Until big city life, we finally did leave
For soft, smooth ride in the countryside
Residents comfortably continually abide.

We saw a hill here and dale over there
Great green valleys were everywhere
As raging river starting to open...

Winter seems to be so severe;
Had tormented while it is here;
Spring is now and am impressed;
Up things seems to be all dressed.

Another new year did reappear
While my horse thinks it is *****;
Each flower has began to bloom;
Swept leaves away with a broom.

Remained alone in my...

i feel like writing my heart out
 and i dont care who reads
 it feels  like been silent too long now 
these words i cant keep
it eats me alive building up inside 
trying to hide but these thoughts they linger in my mind 
dead...

The stream that once seemed mythic
shimmering about the
saturated green of moss
speaks less clearly now
of delight
or else my spirit’s appetite
has by imperceptible measures
abandoned its audacity
withering toward serenity
as the deer’s corpse
beside the path
seen at first still grey
as the maple’s bark in Winter light
and even later
when all softness...

She danced with Josiah as the band played Mariah
And the children did hide and go seek
The fireflies were dancing the young folks romancing
And the moon now and then took a peek

When love seemed forever and troubles came never
She smiled at the happiness she had
She looked...

When the mountain looked insurmountable
Your uncompromising stance made it assailable

When situations looked so scary and bleak
Your raw determination hauled us towards the peak

When the road to the top quaked and meandered
You steadied the boat continually and we never surrendered

When our situations seemed to defy our...
