Best Served Poems


Premium Member Tea Is Served
Gathered in the shade of her quaint little garden, 
 where a trellis was woven with rose climbing vines,
   something enchanting, had been deftly designed, 
     on an ordinary day, on a May afternoon.

A teapot was held, with her...

Premium Member Justice Served in Blue and White
Part I: "Shadow of Intent"

Beneath the blaze of summer skies—
    A couple met by fate;
She lived where marble towers rise,
    While he bore fortune's weight.

His lady, clad in blue-white dress—
    He walked a stranger's path;
A train...

Premium Member Dinner Is Served
Your cup is filled with 
anger. Always a bitter 
brew to be swallowed 

Revenge will be your 
soup de jour. It is a soup 
that is best served cold 

Disappointment sits 
congealing on your dinner 
plate. It rots the gut 

Condemnation sits 
aside the rest....

Lunch Served! Ready?
Sub bread that is made from scratch.
Spread with mustard sauce.
Cheese and turkey next in line.
Lettuce crisp sub-lime.
Onions a delight.
Tomatoes
Lunch!...

Veterans Day, My Dad Served
Note not sent To My Dad on Veteran’s Day:
A letter you wrote , I found
in Old Uncle Laurie’s house.
You were young, Seventeen
You wrote of things to come

War
And fear
And your new car.
Nam ate your soul
Mangled
You
Stupid war, Johnson’s shout at glory.
Our beautiful hero died too young
The damn...

Premium Member More Than Dinner Was Served
Knock knock as she opens her front door
It's her beau whom now stands before
With a bouquet of flowers
All different colors
For his girl whom he loves and adores

After some chatting about this and that
What a scoff I'm gonna get fat
With a glass of white wine
I know...

And It Will Be Served Proudly
And it will be served proudly

Shore to shore, long highways roam undignified
through heartlands of wounded fields, crying
overgrown long of factories closed,
unemployment, crime,  
homes foreclosed on, lives given to dust,
coughed in past dreams now dissipating
along barren horizons, where prosperity 
once flourished and visions found a...

Boots On the Ground: Justice Is Served
Order dispatched from the commander in chief
Send in the men, the mission to be done
To conquer the enemy, long last and due
Proudly they went in, America’s sons

Ever in danger, but alert and on guard
Objective they know and eager to find
Dark in the compound, bare minimum...

Christmas Lunch Is Served. Acrostic.
Christmas lunch is 
Here at last. 
Roast turkey 
Is put on plates with 
Sprouts and potatoes and 
Then handed to the gathered 
Masses who will then overeat 
And make merry with 
Sparkling wine and soft drinks. 

Lots of 
Unfinished plates 
Now lie surrounded by 
Cracker...

Premium Member A Dish Best Served Red
There once was a girl name of Hood
who walked tall, as every girl should.
She tossed over her head
a cover of bright red
and ventured out into the wood.

She carried a black riding crop
and critters she’s stop with a pop.
But, Ole Dracula saw her
and made her his...
