Best Talented Poems

A talented philanderer is Wind.
He often visits Meadow. He exhales.
Beneath his breath, her blades of grass are pinned.

When done with Meadow, then away he sails.
With Forest he has been so many nights!
Her trees’ limbs in late autumn he unveils.

Moaning, gyrating, Wind’s desire ignites
as Mother Nature...

Laura my friend from the past

Has reappeared after ten long years

She was my first real friend

Here on the Soup and never forgotten

I was a little apprehensive

About joining coz of my inexperience

But Laura was one of the first

To put my old heart at ease  

Inviting...

To live a talented retiremant,
i dreamed of a normal retirement,
Meeting classmates again coincidently
Getting together for a cup of tea or coffee,,
To be with the church,
When I retired that all began,
A storytale retirement,
I did participate and did things,
 I have never done before,
I wrote two books,...

Holding on to my words
Your kiss
Took the sun 
And replaced it with Mars
There is a deep chill 
As the heartbeats echo from 
Underneath the ground
It could have been confused with an earthquake
But it is the sound of the dead returning to life
Mesmerized, her lips are...

We can speak an entire conversation for hours without a word being said
With each rhythmic movement 
We create waterfalls
Like snowflakes falling down
All around us
I am practicing my martial arts
Since first I saw you
No one will take you away from me
It was your hair 
Long, flowing,...

This Quatrain King is taking a break for a bit

Rhyming has been my thing since day one

Sometimes I talk in riddles I'm told by wifey poo

But you'll be happy to know

This old geezer is multitalented

I'm able to talk and chew gum at the same time

Can...

This old geezer is multitalented
I'm able to talk and chew gum at the same time
Can even spit nickels while singing Moon River
Okay enough about this talented old soul
I'd like to hear what extraordinary talents you guys have
Let's keep it clean though
Little kiddies or sensitive old...

your poetry and limericks too
every written word a part of you
class in five classy lines
getting laughs and blowing minds
mostly fiction, but some are true

she ends all her comments with a heartfelt hug
one can't help but fall in poetry love
her words flow and often rhyme

Talented in closing every door
and drawer left open by my spouse.
Those beastly eyes from childhood;
doors and drawers under the bed, too.

Talented in tripping and spilling,
splashing and controlling (only
the remote control - what wife doesn’t
like to watch her favorite show?)

Talented at staying indoors with piles
of books...

My friend, so young your countenance remains
When word’s cold death exacted Britain’s pain
In one brief moment quill caressed page,
papyrus breathed to life, precocious sage.
When first I gazed upon your stanzas long
mesmerizing trance from an angelic song.
A thing of beauty is the ink once spilled
in Eton’s...

Critically talented is he…
Watch him paint you a portrait
And design your graphics
Graphically in depth gradually
Peacefully mastering his art
His hands are designed to outline the impossible
His colors vibrant and the easel close to heart

Critically talented is he…
Take your cookbook you wrote
Remix your favorite recipes
Deliciously sweet inspirations…take...

to an african mom
born a child
with black skin
from his father

he always complained
his mom
why he is black

everytime
mom gently kissed
his forehead
saying
colour does not matter
if you are able and talented

this was enough
to calm 
that little boy

slightly younger
he became
began going to school
all made joke at him

at home he complained

We’re All Parcels 

Everyone is a precious parcel perfectly wrapped
There’s something hidden below the layers
Inside us all a gift that’s trapped.
Will your present for the world stay hidden?
Or will you accidentally discover it and let it out?
Look inside your heart and set it free.
