Best Surely Poems
Surely, I shall recall my death as well as I fail to remember my birth.
Within Hall Of Heroes His Soul Must Surely Be
Within Hall of Heroes his soul must surely be
for courage and steadfastness surged in his veins
this he truly lived for one and all to see
he fought bravely for truth and right, not worldly gains!
As teenage youth, I did such a great man befriend
and discovered what a true blessing had been given
I was away that day his life came to an end
now mourn he that for honor had always striven.
Years flown by as I look back at such a fine man
a granite rock upon which any friend could rely
I recall campfires fresh fish frying in a pan
And will see his smiling face until day I die!
Within Hall of Heroes his soul must surely be.
Man that taught me, takes faith and courage to be free!

Sonnet, Tribute- ( Treasures That Life Oft Gift Asking No Payment For )
oh anime surely you do brighten up my life
With your gorgeous colors rarely of depressing hues.
Many turn to you as a refuge from their problems and painful memories
and you do give them comfort in an imaginary world.
Easier it is to imagine a perfect life than to create one in reality.
Were It So, Great Mysteries We'd Surely Miss
Life flows through this world on a spree
Like some massive beast on a ripping romp
Good times and bad times, it so often sees
Even ending, as the might of Fate does stomp!
Across land and seas, fruitful crops grow
Majestic beauty, Nature sends its greens
Our world forever onward it goes and goes
We are not truly in charge by any means!
When wind, storm and rain beats our souls
Hope rests and rides in the world to give
Although we may cry at such saddened tolls
We manage to carry on and happily we live!
Our distant trek may not be all pure bliss
Were it so, great mysteries we'd surely miss!

Sonnet, on life , the world and Fate's mysterious paths.
My Lucky Dog Surely Has No Fleas
My lucky dog surely has no fleas
they all jumped from him onto me
His luck could be quite fetching
were I not so furiously scratching
When he sneezes the cold I get
my lucky dog could win any bet
Good night sleep he is a winner
Gas wakes me, damn chili dinner
Chasing the ladies he is tops
my pick-up lines are all flops
Lucky dog always gets his gal
I waste time drinking with a pal
He has fun chasing the fast cars
if I did that I would have scars
Yes sir, my lucky dog has it made
while I get to write this tirade

Contest Description
What to Submit?
1 original, poem on the theme of .humor.............
Any form is acceptable, but no more than 20 lines.
May rhyme or not rhyme. I am not much of a stickler for onprecise forms
or meter as long as the theme of the poem is not affected.
I'm retired now and I'm feeling pained,
My eyesight's gone off and my hair's not regained,
My wrinkles are deeper and I've got false teeth,
Surely to Betsy there'll be some relief,
But no, only today my remote control finger got sprained.
Am I glad to be alive?
Surely I am,
Surely.
I watched a certain horse cross the line at the Derby,
Preakness,
Belmont,
And I was quite happy to live to see it once more,
To live to cheer.
I watched the reports of men and women turning on each other,
Like animals,
Like wolves,
And I was happy to live through seeing it,
To live to frown at the Television.
I watched two friends tremble within their own veins,
Shutting up,
Shutting down,
And I was happy to be living to see them off,
To live to cry.
I am happy to be alive,
There is no question,
I am,
Surely.
See sense sultry
Free form fancy
Touch treats trendy
Bright blossoms bring
Sift sensuous spring
Frame funny fling
Live life lofty
Bring brave beauty
Style sweet smiley
Join jerky joy
Pleasure primes ploy
Touch tensile toy
Love's lasting light
Moves moaning might
Numbs naughty night
Stay simple say
Please pretty play
Dance dimpled day
Live lovely lines
Feel flavours fine
Sense soul stir signs
Be beyond breath
Dying dooms death
Trail toilsome theft
Forge flaming feel
Calm choosy chill
Walk waking will
Worry works wile
Sad story styles
Meet messy miles
Pick piquant plate
Surely sees straight
Glimpse groovy gate

That's what they say to me,
Writing verse that does not conform,
Style which doesn't comply with their old dead masters,
Using formats that threaten aged literary girdles,
So long ago having lost their stretch,
Constraining brains to the point of not thinking,
Afraid to lose trainees whose minds walk in lock step,
Imaginations dying at the end of a branch that no longer grows,
Clinging to purist letters on wrinkled pages,
While mavericks like me frighten them with one simple word,
Change.
Note: And so critic friends, actually I am so dam happy my mind
is free of your ancient rules.

"A poem to me is the essence of any thought,
Being built from its foundation into tower scraping sky.
It can fly like no other bird to places never seen,
Even spaceships can only dream of taking its place."

I love her more than she ever knows
future tense recompense she understands
That I love you her more and what I can do with my raised hand
I just honor her I pray for her constantly and I pray
More Than Just daily I pray in Love for you I do love you
I love her I surely do
I challenge myself to strive to be better and prevalent it's relevant that I present myself as a sacrifice or interest in my heart and purpose in her soul I engage and embrace I start I pray for her heart constantly I love her beyond myself
And no one else
Just do I pray. for love for you I do love you
My love, my love for her is faithful sure, and true I love you I surely do

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2022©
one loves may be sure
may not be sure really
judge and confirm it
from which angle that's
with what sense that must be felt
first to open heart
love's not blind surely
if weakness is named as love
then why love gets blamed?
There once was a teacher, Miss Surely Best
Whose blouse was always open at the breast --
She'd wiggle her shoulder
Boys' eyes would get bolder --
Somehow they'd forget all about the test

Between you and me,
There are..
a distance that can't be passed by airplanes,
a darkness that can't be lightened by the Sun
and a mixed group of rocks and wild animals
that aren't used to listen to music or breed pigeons.
But we can meet, and we will surely meet!
I keep telling myself,
Love will soon embrace us all everyone,
That hatred is only a fire doomed to burn out,
Those waterfalls of compassion dousing any doubts,
To dream this is the imagination that wakes me,
In a night which falls on hopes of good mornings,
If I asked you to hold me, would you?
This brother that loves you as I should do,
To be better than any other only lessens me,
Oh the thoughts that have taught wisdom so painfully,
Simply to think of it humbles this man so,
The beauty of people which have killed the ugliness,
Please allow me to climb with you to whatever destiny awaits,
My hand reaches out to grasp those that will take it,
Anything is possible if we all let it happen,
For if we don't it will surely destroy us.

Surely I‘ll break
after you pointed out all my mistakes
I know I may not be the most outgoing
But if that’s the reason you‘ve been throwing
one hundred thousand fights
til im burning,bleeding and bursting into tears
I‘ll change for your benefit , I‘ll do a 360 degree turn to fit your imagination
Get inside and we‘ll have a conversation
Did you take that stuff again
Younger me wished I was clean
You didn’t even check on me when I was wiping my tears off your car seat
Stop pretending we share the same life
when you played board games I was
by myself in the corner, hoping i‘d turn
extrovert
Stop pretending you know how cruelty feels.
