Best Sternest Poems

Grandma, The Farm And The Silent Young Cat

Before soft golden rays the roses slept
Night, its slumbers had not yet bid adieu
From its barn perch the young, silent cat leapt
Upon the old farmer's empty brown shoe
And from the farmhouse, breakfast call rang out
Grandma had no time...

What Would Santa Claus Say
by Michael R. Burch
 
What would Santa Claus say,
I wonder,
about Jesus returning
to Kill and Plunder?
 
For he’ll likely return
on Christmas Day
to blow the bad
little boys away!
 
When He flashes like lightning
across the skies
and many a homosexual
dies,
 
when the harlots and heretics
are...

LOVE HARDENED
I would o'erstare the sternest eyes that looks,
Outbrave the heart most daring of crooks,
Pluck the young sucking cubs from the she-bear,
Mock lions when they roar for a prey that stare,
In as much as I proclaim all these all through,
I won't bite more than I...

(woman)"Just cause I didn't smile at you
Just cause I didn't wave
I'll not wear feelings on my sleeve
That's no way to behave.

But it could be, that I like you 
Maybe like you quite a lot
You won't know because you've given up
My heart is tied in knots.

I'll...

I wasn’t there when she was small
To see her scrape her knee
Or ride her bike around the block
Or scramble up a tree

Or listen all about her day
And what she did at school
How Lisa was her new best friend
But all the boys were fools

I wasn’t there...

Christmas!  The most loved time of the year!
Holiday magic: decorations and festive cheer,
Returning festivities of this late December day
Is a world-wide celebration of one, whose birthday
Set the Christian world aflame back in history!
This ever since, has been regarded the start of AD.
Millions have followed...

“Go Figure…Those Weeblitz”… cry the Walliforth!
By Ingrid Showalter Swift

Of Walliforth...the Dreggors Gorth!
with calls of frobulation
The Spraliwongs do bleet and frong 
In roudious trapulation
the Wonder Bigiums flaunt their sternest defra-get-ulation!!!

but  still moril !
in magical mill…… in marvelous migration…
the Weeblitz sing 
a lilty wing
…………………of stupendous ...

In slumbering slope they lay, 
their gaiety snores in rhythmic peaks of cadences,
The lily livered japes 
Kings from central castings,
Heroes of one hour, 
jostling  for President with mere words      
Resigned  to bed now, save one. 
Cowards, afraid of...

She left the tent in holy fervor,
Hell-bent to spread the Word.
The Spirit moved and made her quiver;
No act of faith was too absurd.

She knocked on doors, she spoke with zeal,
Her faith she shared in earnest.
There was no doubt God’s love is real:
His justice is the...

WHAT I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS

I don't make my intentions public
But I'll voice it all to you
Though I know you really don't exist
I'll pretend that you actually do

So for Christmas this year
What I want from you
Is family reconciliation
So please see what you can do

I have some...

Remembrance for a choker in my deathbed 
(Read-only version, a knick-knack too) 
 
Precious finger, the witnessing one, Count 
The forehead of a pious one, leaving a mark 
Glowing along days and nights, prayer mats, in trying times 
And prayers at dusk. Prayers valid till...

When the diviner reaches out for truth
And winds of fury hurry through the plains,
The youth of summer loses all her gains
Though love’s caresses linger long and smooth.

When time is lost at silly childhood’s will
Or gained again at life’s untimely end,
The heart is keen old sorrows...

I do bitterly fault your restless digits, slatternly time;
Your agile dial's design I defy with mutinous rhyme. 
What's the veiled intent of your lightning procession,
Against this snail-mover's beleaguered progression? 

In swearing truth say why your sight-eclipsing wings
Party and feast and conjure merry over littler beings.
What...

I saw you smile,

Now, I'm smiling too

You say so many words.

I know you don't mean all of them.

When you say 'leave',

I know your heart would search for mine.

I don't want to be the distance that measures away from you.

Just smile at me.



I saw you smiling,

Now,...

Echo return contoured by consciousness 
Oft ignores our interconnectedness 
Sternest rebuff being indifference 
In a poignant, painful, time stretched silence
Mitigating our innate blissfulness 

Endearing touch of childlike lovingness
Vibrantly bubbling agendalessness
Burns, upturns, on facing insentience
Echo return

Hermit mode, in perfect, brilliant stillness 
Recognising underlying oneness
Heals to so...
