Best Simply Poems

I guess we can struggle when we sit down to write
But use your own words - to plagiarise isn’t right
When I read a poem that’s simply too good to be true 
I then begin to question, was it even written by ‘you’ 

If I google...

When I refused to ride with Death
He tied my hands and feet,
Then tossed me in with some poor guy
He'd grabbed up off the street.

Oh, what a hurry he was in!
He slammed it to the floor.
We sat in wide-eyed, abject fear,
Each clinging to a door.

While whizzing...

My finger hovers
Shall I turn you on today
You lie there tempting me
I need to know what buttons to press
But when I press those buttons
You respond immediately and burst into life
Every Wednesday you leave me little messages
I try to ignore them but you are so persistent
You...

Too hard for me to say goodbye
For all apparent reasons why
Even though we all know it must be
Each heart will someday stop the beat
When the rhythm of life, and silence, finally meet
.
Yet I always seem so surprised 
To find that death is part of life...

Inexpert at rhyme 
or singing in time
I bray like a laryngitic donkey
my artwork's inept 
I'm ham-fisted except
when doodling things that are wonky

Of style I'm bereft 
my feet are both left
splayed in an opposite direction;
'tis little wonder
I blindfully blunder
into despair and abject dejection

My mind is a...

Am l now simply forgotten

Just like that

No longer needed or required 

Disposed of , though still intact 


So many years and time given

At a drop of a hat

Am l now simply forgotten

Just like that

I Simply Love You

In the pastel dawn
	I love You.
In the red hot of noonday
	I love You.
At the green summer teatime
	I love You.
When sunset’s brilliant jewels fade to twilight
	I love You.
In evening’s deep blue and diamond stars
	I love You.
As I close my eyes to black of...

Complicated I am not
Frustrated I can be
Simple is my quest 
Contests I do my best

I leave perfection to all the rest
I only write what I feel
Spell Check I leave up to you
Much soup mail I receive

A true blessing given to me
Helpful hints and missed spelled...

Simply birds chirp, chirping in song,
belonging to a cloudy day.

Simply birds plink, plinking paradisaically.
Wee angels with harps in their wings.

Simply my teeny, tiny forest at play.
Tweets twine like ivy, inviting a smile.

Simply the sweetest sound of mirth.
Sans birdsong, saddest silence on earth.

in a world
where we can be
anything we want
i think i want 
to simply be
poetry

be that ink
flowing
through the pen
as words
are gently laid
upon the sheets

be the pulse
in thoughts
flowing
through
hearts

the whisper
of a soul
awakened
from dreams

the muse
that sings
a masterpiece

the linger
of the read

in a world
with so much sadness
sometimes 
i want to
simply be
poetry...

Her
simply.

Her
intensely,
my world.

Her
a peach. 

Her 
juices singing
a melody.

Her
cooling,
to my
burning hot.

Her
trickled
out my 
lips, 
on my 
chin.

Her
smears 
my flesh.

Her
lingers.

Her 
just 
a taste 

Her!

I think that I may be indecisive.
But now I’m not really quite sure

I can’t seem to make up my mind
I've never had this problem before

I used to see everything in black and white
Now I can’t decide and nothing is right

I was going to buy some...
