Best Single Out Poems

To single out special people on soup is such a hard task
So many people have helped me, so it’s a really big ask


I discovered on soup there is an angel without wings
Her name is FJ Thomas and her praises I’ll gladly sing
A month after I...

I stared intently at blackbirds on a wire
they were lined in a row
as though someone had painted them there
fascinated, I continued to gaze
hoping to identify which one would fly away first
knowing if one flew
the coop so to speak
the rest would follow because of some unknown
inner...

all day, all night
you are the love of my life
sunrise or without light
door I keep in my life

big or small, I come to you
few or plenty, I fill you
any color you show me
clean as I go, you don't leave me

can't count the times I open...

LOVE’S MOMENT

trying to think through
my mental calendar,
the mystic moment
i first experienced love
simply cannot become clear

age realizes 
that love is a growing process -
those tender    or firm
touches    points of awareness
happening along the wheel 

how impossible
to single out a moment.
age realizes
love...

Tears of laughter appear on my face when this poet's lines I embrace


* There are several poets who write wonderful humorous poetry, and to single out only one, I'd be doing the others an injustice.

DARE TO BE CHALLENGED

Imagine if a human could shed their skin,
Inside out and from within,
We could then see anything foul,
We would bare our brain, heart and soul

Anything suspicious we would detect,
From our toes to our head,
We would be able to label humans suspect,
Or else quite...

Can a phrase rule
  over a paragraph

Can the right word
  stand alone

Can a thought be held
  within one breath

Can the truth in short
  be known

Can you single out
  the future

Can you paraphrase
  the past

Can you connect a feeling

If you were born in the month of August
Be cool, be calm, be wise and be robust
Summertime is almost over
And autumn is around the corner
Teeny or feeble leaves are falling
Some days are hot or humid like spring
Yellow tiny bugs are crawling everywhere
As customary, the hot...

My vision tingles, colors awaken
as if they'd been fossilized in a photograph of 
black and white.
 
My sight starts to single out exactly

Many features attract many together.
Lovely curve, a good front or any the eye can gather
Love I found in the face of my lady.
So smooth, ripples from its centre,
A perfect delight to behold from angle any.

Eyes glowing like sprightly stars
Emitting light that makes any soul stare.
Lips...

Haven’t you had enough blood from the beginning of time?
Haven’t you taken enough lives before they should have died?
All around I can hear their cry 
They want to escape from the under world
You spill blood in the name of heaven
You murder, women and little children
You...

Washington always “thinks inside the box.”
No wonder why we're in this fix we're in.
Their collective thinking stifles or blocks
The country’s progress and provides the spin
To sway the public view to uselessness.
This herd mentality is quite bizarre
To think that all these minds can not express
A single...

It seems you’ve already made up your mind
Rescinded decisions is what u made of l see
Something you need to know pretty well
Before you single out your property and leave 
That l got no compunctions at all for the path l took
I won’t even curse the...
