Best Strikes Poems

A PM fairy's busy this year,
Bringing souper's some much needed cheer
Check if you have a star
A kind gift from afar
No doubt you're grinning from ear to ear!

War is a time of great conflict 
bringing so much misery and suffering 
to a generation of people mistreated
on their knees in it's wake 
prayers are calling to Heaven 

Where the innocence of children 
becomes tainted 
no longer having a voice 
little ones confused
scratching behind...

TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THIS POEM PLEASE READ MY POEM 'NOT QUITE 
WONDER WOMAN' AND TIM SMITH'S POEM A CALL TO BLUNDERWOMAN


Hey Tim’s kids get off your tush
Your dad is baking something lush
He’s made a massive tray of cake
Do the washing up for goodness sake

Then he’s...

Fall is my favorite time of the year
A lovely present that brings much cheer
Longing for the cool air that resides
Lifting me to higher grounds besides

Some pumpkins surely bring me the mood
The way the color and smell means food
Really the fall exquisite pieces like leaves
Ignite my...

Women’s rights?
     Men in tights  

   Rising crime?
     Hang wind-chimes

   Covid fears?
     Change careers

   Stocks falling?
     Piggy-bank calling

   Nothing to...

All along the dead valley
I walked with his gun…
How death could escape..
I gave up this thought
He broke my hope 
With his narrow eyes
My plead was refused
Oh! That inhuman look…..
turned the sky black.... 
What prayers could save 
this world at last
We were the ONE but we...

Oft Bold The Thoughts, When Pen Strikes Paper

Oft bold the thoughts, when pen strikes paper
even should ones shovel meet dark coals.
Shrouds removed, to smell new rising vapors
or challenge poets tired and resting souls!

Sought, shimmering pools of bright, clear waters
even should bare feet stay perfectly dry.
Honing...

     The indelible stamp
        of my favorite aunt
      my birthday gift arrived
        seven months late

      Yet unwrapping...

Through the trees, they saw a light
As a haze o’er the village ahead
And weary from walking many miles
Two travellers thought they may find a bed

As they made their way to the village
A mist descended, cold and damp
Hindering the traveller’s on their quest
Shrouding the light from...

Neptune must have used as parchment
Mother-of-pearl to inscribe his laws
For he’d richly rewarded the oysters
With an oceanic spa.

So, while seeking calm through deliberation
And enjoying the mud bubbles of my bath
Who should I spy in the distance?
But Calamity trudging up the path.

His foot arched out proud...

Lightning flashes
across the sky.
Striking Houses,
starting fires.

The whole world watches
their homes burn.
It's a terrible tragedy.

Flames erupt everywhere!!
No one tries to help!!  
The earth is doomed… 
…or is it?

Inside a house 
a dog watches 
as the couch explodes.
He decides to help.

Hooray! The world is saved!
The bravery...

Luke has a special friend
That only he can see
He calls him Herbert Sherbet
Invisible to you and me

I have never seen him
But he must be real I presume
When things get broken it's never Luke
Though only he's in the room

So many ornaments broken
So many valuables lost
All destroyed...

The clock at the station strikes me sad
stuck at midnight or noon.
Its hands won’t tell which twelve.
But that’s not what strikes me sad,
not even the way you got off the train,
met me a block away
and seemed like you wanted to leave
the first second you set...
