She sits and rocks, so gently back and forth
Her chin leaning heavily on her chest.
In her hands she cradles, one flat waxed rose
And sighs as pain is swelling in her breast.

Her long grey hair, now tied up in a bun
Is what I see when entering...

Young and pretty, living a normal life
Suddenly her world would never be the same
Her lovely boy born with special needs
Her daily life now the toughest of games

She carries on with her head held high
Having a career, still being his mother
Constantly dealing with medical issues
Yet she...

Rachel’s birth brought early challenges
    Surgery closed a hole in her heart
         Learning disabilities discovered later

 A “special” child, she pursued a regular education
      But she was not regular

She longs to take possession of her heart, but she quickly forgets.

He used his flattering power to gleam the pages and feast. 

Like the wind tossing the spider holding tight on a single web.

She retraces the steps in her mind, her soul dares not sleep

I want to merge with this old Yew,
To travel through its rings of time.
Back when it's sprout had just begun
Near Blarney's river so sublime.

Where ivy climbs the castle walls,
A quaint sized foot bridge leads to where,
The old strong Yew still charms today
As autumn chills with...

Their human ma and pa were spark out in reclining chairs
But Rum and Raisin watched the TV with enraptured stares
The western had just ended with the credits rolling past
And Raisin said, “That gunslinger was super duper fast.

“I really liked the way he walked with that...

Anniversaries, birthdays, special occasions

marking significant moments in our lives

bringing back precious feelings

reliving a once upon a time.

The first time that I met you

the butterflies I had inside

sitting in that corner café

daydreaming you were my bride

The candlelit dinner for two

outdoors under a red streaked sky

when I...

We may not have a "White Christmas", yet joy remains the same
I find delight in viewing candles reflected on frosted panes
They remind me to be grateful for warmth and light so near
Welcome to my holiday home at this special time of year

A scenic view of...

DEDICATION TO TWO VERY SPECIAL WOMEN


I'm writing this poem with pure dedication
To two very special women upon this fine day,
Andrea Dietrich and Anne Lise Andresen your beauty 
is like a quaint fascination of pure devotion.
If it weren't for people like you, I would have left...

Don’t use special characters!
In writing I was told,
Next to the title of my poem.
(The letters black and bold.)

“Poems Don’t Have to Rhyme,” is what
I chose to name my piece,
But with this title, what I wrote
The site would not release.

For only letters, numbers, dashes,
Commas are allowed;
Apostrophes...

How special is a Christmas filled with the delight
of children as they rush down to the decorated tree
after having barely slept through the entire night.
Sweet anticipation on their faces all can see,
for they can’t wait to tear the wrapping off their gifts with glee.

How special...

There is a special man we look up to.
Writing great poems on Poetry Soup.
His Limericks put a smile on our face, 
being from the great UK, his birthplace.
His adventures at Milton's Creek thrill us.
They are gripping tales to read, and a must.
The Master of story...

I want to be 
your special occasion 
To see you smile 
like you’re on vacation 
That in a cool sorta way 
I’m your happy activation

I want to know
you see and hear me
That there’s nowhere else
you’d rather be
I want to be invigorated
full inside not empty

I want...
