Best Thank Your Lucky Stars Poems

What’s the meaning of dawn without Night
You need Darkness to see the light
What’s success without Impossibilities
Hardships always bring out abilities

Life does not have a meaning
When you know you cannot die
Death is always necessary
To give Life one more try

What is happiness without Sorrow
You need today to...

The Love of My life

When I met you, I never expected
  to fall in love...
But since then, every day I thank my lucky stars above.

When I met you, I truly had no idea
  How much my life was about to be changed...
 But...

As I lay me down to sleep, for the last and final time
I leave you, my daughter, with this testament's chime

No matter the temperature, no matter the weather, no matter the clime
Be it ever so nasty, be it fair-to-middling, or utterly sublime

Be grateful, my darling,...

Poetry Soup Is…

A place to post words and be heard
a platform for prose, a poet’s eatery
A sonneteer’s palace, for the sagacious or the absurd 
A silver chalice that pours golden poetry
Rhymed and skillfully quilled 
Artful rhythmic compositions, sublimely finished
Inspirational ink spilled, 
authentic and unblemished

Poetry Soup...

I have been privileged,
 To hold in my life,
The title that’s known
 As a truck driver’s wife.
Now, women all know
Being married is rough.
But, marry a trucker,
And then let’s talk tough!
The miles that they run,
And, the job that they do,
Gives us grey hairs,
And fries our nerves...

Eco-Friendly Vehicles
By Rick Rucker

As an infant, when I went outside,
In a stroller, with circular wheels, I would ride,

As I became restive, and wanted to roam,
My parents bought me a trike, so I could leave home,

It did not last very long,
My legs soon became far too...

It's early morning and a message just came in...
Reached out for my phone without a pause to think...

Turns out to be a video clip of a white family saloon car..
Somewhere, some place on some undetermined highway..

This white car was moving rather sedately among a few...

Shallow is the pond,
where willow fronds bend down
to soothe my furrowed brow.
Let's sit along the bank,
and thank our lucky stars.

For we have found a place,
a space to call our own.
Let us cool our toes and all our cares
embrace the day and think.

Our woes we'll leave...

Now Santa"s elves are busy 
they"re making lots of toys 
and other pretty things 
for all you girls and boys. 

    But the bloody truth is! 

Their hours are long and hard, 
the heatings on the blink. 
Some bastard stole the plug...

Man should feel very bless

   in having Teachers around that care

   for the learning process

   is an on going procedure

   or it should be, for Life to progress,


   For if any man thinks he knows...

Even though I specify a hundred mile radius on Christian Mingle,
I get replies from all over from men that are lonely and single.
I am not really interested in a long distance romance.
How do you know if you have any chemistry with an online dance?

Usually I...

Hear a siren passing by
And thank your lucky stars
Someone else’s problem
Will not cause you any scars.

For every passing ambulance
Has someone in the back – 
A hit and run or overdose
Or, likely, heart attack.

You see the flashing lights go by
And hear that plaintive drone,
So fortunate that...

The girls and boys are back in school
Now learning what they need to know
The leaves are turning orange and red
Before they drop to earth's worn floor

The animals are getting fat
So they can sleep until springs rays
The birds are flying south in flocks
So they can winter...

Whoa! Friends, slow down a bit, smell the roses
And appreciate your situations.
We can’t lose sight what’s under our noses
If we do, we invite our frustrations.
Who needs that god-awful discouragement?
Not you or me, so look for the flowers,
They are there. Look around, follow the scent 
But...

Stupid damn cat   


Attempting sleep on the balcony, a railing at my back,
twisted iron creating stripes on my flesh.
Crisscrossing as I slide atop a Craigslist mattress
collecting in folds of faded striped fabric.

slightly used 

Moon beams shift direction,
west becomes east (ah east) on a...
