Best Thirteen Poems


Premium Member Friday Thirteen --Paris Attacks
Yes, 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 Lucky
A,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

Thirteen Thousand Miles - Spanish Septet
It’s thirteen thousand miles from Boston to
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...

Premium Member My Thirteen-Toed Lover
When 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 Takes
When 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 Thirteen
Through 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...

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 Lucky
Streams 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...
