Best Surprising Poems

I came upon an old man,
A homeless, wretched soul.
He looked so sad and helpless,
In his hands, he held a bowl.
He was propped against the building,
So, his weakness would not show.
He saw the world through glasses,
With hair as white as snow.

I heard my father whisper,
As my...

Temperature is going up and the sun is out
Fluffy clouds move slowly across the sky
Thinking it is winter what could this be about
Buds are on the trees and I am wondering why
Dandelions in full bloom as spring has arrived oh my

It’s truly surprising
   given their feelings
that climate activists
   have not sent us all reeling

with words that convey
  the dire straits we are in
like ‘Climate Pandemic’
  ~ then the battle they’d win...

Snow White’s vain and wicked stepmother
And her weakling of a father
Forced her with seven dwarfs to live
Whom all her love and attention she’d give
She’d love to get the jewels they’d bring
And wore them round her neck on the string
But when the prince kissed her and...

They say ure young and weak
U showed me how strong u were
When u wrapped ur arms around me
Pulled me closer as u tugged
U took someone that was cold inside
U made my heart melt that night we hugged

A meaningful look is giving me notice I'm always there in your sight.

Still Surprising

Was brilliant, beautiful yet still surprising
When in your life you will have a horizon
So elegant eagerly meeting you each day
Determined to remove darkness and dismay.

Colors each one can be distinguished
My honor and glory to it relinquished
Knowing next morning would return
And into my mind a...

From twenty feet I saw him
when he first looked at me
I really took his breath away.

He looked at me as if he had
seen me in his dreams a thousand times.

We exchanged 'Hellos.'
He remains a mystery.

Still
it was a nice
pleasant surprise
and I saw it
with my own eyes....

Oh what I would long to see
and breathe
and free 

This polypathic wisdom
of a root and branched
systemic tree

Nurturing
Yintegral root systems
breeding Me
while YangSun branches
reach up and out
nutritionally feeding We

Polyphonic remembering
systematic Theology
of naturally spiritual experiences,
humanity experiments
in win/win Ecology

Both non-verbally felt internally
as healthy win/win
despite unwealthy respite
lost in lose/lose metaphysicality

It was November first, Hedgehog Grandpa’s birthday.
"We’ve got to be going!" Mom was yelling that day.
The one that was keeping us back was brother Gay.
A slow poke again, on that cool Saturday.

"I am leaving now." The voice was loud, from Dad.
"I am right behind you!"...

She wore her spirit
 it was flowing
 in the drift the atmosphere was sweet
 when she was present
 her soul the brights of her eyes
 did shine ever so
 her heart was beating
~
Nurtured  her surroundings
Embracing
The water for sweat drenching her body
When she is present...
