Best Tidy Sum Poems

We're in the midst of natures blitz.
An air of mist we're all trying to resist.
It leaves me wondering if I'm alive.
And what I'll do if I survive.

We've lost the best that lived in jest.
He quietly said what we suggest.
A life delivered walkin' around.
Each mail box...

'Twas nine o'clock on Monday morn 
And Ned was full of cheek, 
Depositing the cash he'd won

surrendered in rhapsodic poesy,
poets are a tidy sum of quirky &
care zilch of external perceptions,

directionless winds 'neath allegory
'pon posies and dragon's intimation
twisting mundane to vibrant intrigue,
translations representing prism's
kaleidoscopic colorful impressions
and themes...

When the moon is full, I am cold,
I weary of life; I’m growing old:
Days in number: now a tidy sum,
Wonder when I too will succumb?

Family members that have gone away.
With their voices now beyond recall,
I miss them one; I...

But your schedule’s shot to pieces if you’re troubled by strong gales,
On a campsite in the Pennines the wind was blowing bitterly
I confided to the warden’s wife, “Next year I’m off to Italy”.

So I...

For if I tell you I'm afraid I will regret.
Because to shine a light on future hopes.
Opens the door wide for idiots and dopes.

So someday I want to be what I want...

I wished for trails not strewn with roots
nor rocks and stumps that trip a careless step
- and thought of how 'twould be so kind
for life to benefact a tidy sum so -
I could rise and yawn each dawn
upon the feathered bed of paradise?
