Best Thirteen Poems
Friday Thirteen --Paris AttacksYes, they too believed in love,
Yet became victims of hate,
Men hungry for destruction,
And with vicious mindset,
Fired deadly bullets around,
Lifeless bodies fell on ground.
Pain touched every heart,
For some, life won't be same,
Laughter transformed to cries,
Happiness changed to grief,
Merciless sinners did it all,
At concert, café and football.
Flesh...

Thirteen Is LuckyA,B,C alphabetic
1,2,3, arithmetic
Two eyes of academic
Alphabetic and arithmetic
What logic in alphabetic?
What Ethic in arithmetic?
No letter comes prosperous
No figure goes dangerous
No letter brings luckiness
No figure brings luckiness
God given the time
Don't blame,it's crime
No letter writes divine
No figure counts not divine
At seven counts of teen

San Diego around far Cape Horn’s way.
Ship needs to sail to that distant quay.
The Cape is a hard challenge for the crew
It’s where the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans meet and the waves are horrific.
The number of ships lost are...

My Thirteen-Toed LoverWhen you stuck your paw out from that shelter cage,
Did you have any idea whose sleeve you clawed?
Did you see a heart you needed to engage?
Was there a sense that I’d see you and applaud?
Was it your intent other pets to upstage?
How could you know...

Thirteen TakesWhen caught mid-flight
End to bloat against gravity
Thanks, rejection is not of the earth
My eyes are welling
I won’t hold back with shame
Even warriors often times loosen, weeping
A good mother’s breast thrust
Not in for the oldest trade
Gives the child, from infant, the best trust
The...

A Clock Strikes ThirteenThrough the trees, they saw a light
As a haze o’er the village ahead
And weary from walking many miles
Two travellers thought they may find a bed
As they made their way to the village
A mist descended, cold and damp
Hindering the traveller’s on their quest
Shrouding the light from...

Thirteen
One and three are 4;
nothing is unlucky about the number 13.
three and one or one and three;
it adds up to 4,
when reduced to a singular digit.
Numerology reveals the truth about things
and four is a healthy number.
The mystery of 13, is that...

Thirteen Wasn'T LuckyStreams are running quickly and the snow’s still on the ground
When lightning strikes the mountains and there’s thunder all around.
It’s raining in the foothills and the water’s coming down.
It’s headed for the city, to the center of the town.
Bow rivers banks are swelling and the...
