Best The One Who Poems

"THE ONE WHO REMAINS SILENT"

visions of happy encouragement and
loving growth I had been seeking-
I'll never know his name,
but it's just the same
he was the first who welcomed me...

As i gently clear away
the steam that covers the glass
suddenly!
"he" appears
and for now
"he" is temptation
the very person i fear

Although we look the same

If you saw me today -
not that inexperienced 17-year-old woman child
whose summer-fresh face you once caressed -

So many false promises and far too many lies
Laying beside He who stands 
Questioning answers and making demands.

Dumb drunk
when arrested
thought he’d hit just the tree.
Beneath his car lay my brother’s
body.

The One Who Finished Last in His Class

By Elton Camp

Not all teachers have equal smarts & skill
And a less able lawyer sure gives no thrill

There are found some West Point cadets
Whose graduation the academy so regrets

And the accountant who eked his degree
From him a large...

Eradicated you
