Best Snippet Poems

Lucky day!   Father McShane was on the altar.
I knelt in gratitude, in silent applause.

He said mass faster than the lead car in a drag race.  
Hosts flew and before we knew it: “Ite, missa est.” *

The nine a.m. ritual was well worth...

Influenced by "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" and "The Rape of the Lock," my goal is to write this completely in iambic meter with (mostly?) rhyming couplets. (Though the intro's meter varies, the main parts will all be fourteeners). Entirety is a W.i.P.

(A Presentiment: two lost Wint souls alone converse,
so mind the grown gap——Longshoreman’s Fall hearse.)

"The last boat draws near, allow us depart."
All aboard, all aboard—!
"So Time has pierced now, as a bull's-eye dart."
All aboard, all aboard—!

Cold water lapping
Quiet barking and a quick 
Splash out near the bay

Songbird in brisk rain
Perched under a broken branch
Nest in tree hollow

Floating atop it
Our paddles swept through the lake
A budding blossom

Blushing and a chill
Moon wane and dragonfly hiss
Step on Winter cress

Red fox hunts in reeds
Swimming...

I made a stoned heart rhyme

And penned a poem of mine
 
That will make me known to all,

Soon as they perceive my soul--

I married a sleek pen to name me husband....

Just a snippet
Made out in the land of crickets

You either did or didn't
Put forth the effort, time and commitment
Above and below the ridges
Hits and misses
Pushing it to the limits
Got to take care of business
From the start past the finish
Again and again with a quickness
And swiftness
Focused...

My subconscious mind reminds me
thoughts of you still linger
Trying to forget the feel of you,
but these thoughts of mine
recollect without permission
Causing a slow submission to my
mental addiction...

Each bead says a story
Of two parted souls
Ages old souls
And when you chant each bead
You find the bliss indeed
And the moment you know you are 
One wave left on the shore
And the moment you know you are 
One with me, them and the cosmos
You are...

A SNIPPET FROM MY TESTIMONY

God tapped me on the shoulder:
   Did you hear this one?

         Actually I was in proximity
And I overheard:

Jesus’ mother and brothers were at the door...

Curiosity bit my ear

“Don’t blink or you’ll miss it” said God
“Miss what?” Old father time replied
“Ah, you blinked, you missed it” God said
“But miss what?” Old father time repeated
“A lifetime dear fellow” God answered
“A lifetime, it is but the briefest snippet in time”
He continued, ““Never mind” he went...

I have a sickness
in my soul,
a pain so deep
it boils,
it smeared my life
to and fro,
to the point I want to let go....

Snippets play inside my mind.
Pieces of movies which I find
Are ingrained; cinema projected...
Dorment and then resurrected.
Sometimes, just a simple thought
Or action has the snippet caught.
Often, in a single day
They play - and sometimes on replay.
Moments big and moments small...
A century of films in all.
Silver, colour,...
