Best To It Poems
Ode To It Above Any ItSilence like magic and soothing song
It mirrors my sanctuary all around
Time slows, while I do simmer
I know my Deliverer delivers.
A flicker of light becomes gem with might
One and only One Magnificent Light
The dark holds tinge of sacredness
It swells and showcase friendly specks.
With blinding light one...

Ode
Put Some Church To ItBorn in greed, torture and hate
I built bridges long enough to overturn my fate
Dire expectations…
I made sure I paid no heed to silly temptations
Interlude to the start of a new journey
I designed options
Set my goals into massive proportions
Selective memory…
I devised a form of poetry without...

Stick To It NessThe pounds are just melting away
You might think I'd be a bit concerned
Well actaully I'm on a mission
To lose 30 pounds before the snow flies
There's no particular reason why
I set that particular number as my goal
It just seems within my reach
Given my age and...

Narrative
Numb To ItGo ahead; rant like a wild child while
wagging your finger in my face.
Your barrage of words falls like
waves upon a cold shore.
Against your tirade,
I'm a solid
cliff, and I'm
numb to
it.

Heart Sings Listen To ItI am trying to read a heart.
To read it from a pair of beautiful eyes.
Nothing that I can see.
Only a heart alone can see.
There is a heart I can hear.
Singing along in a tiny voice I feel.
A whisper from it makes me smile.
A smile...

Ballad
Stick-To-It-NessAlways been blessed with “stick-to-it-ness”
Got it from my dear old dad
He once rode a bike three hundred sixty miles
Took four days each way, egad!
At any age, that's quite an accomplishment
But my dad was sixty years old
From Montreal to Toronto and back again
A feat so gruelling,...

Equal To ItMost people will assume a girl can cook,
but men can make great chefs, while there are girls
who never at a cookbook took a look!
And some won’t wear a dress or fancy pearls.
We look at men and think ones super tall
are good at basketball. It might...

Addicted To It
This New Age love means,
Finding small streets,
To delight in the misery,
Of the night,
To be remembered,
Only by the love-bites.
When the sun hits,
Those moments are worth nothing.
Channeling party girls,
I look for a pretty face,
Looking to forget you,
Lying to myself.
A lowlife,
I cannot be left alone.
Putting on a...

Admit To ItFear hides within levity
by poking fun at itself.
Yet there’s no sanctuary
and it’s quickly ferreted out.
It freezes time and kills dreams
adding a chill to each breeze.
And makes us feel fallible
testing our humanity.
No security blanket
can keep it at bay for long.
And when it enters our hearts
we break...

There's Nothing To ItThere’s Nothing To It
I found a piece of nothing in my back yard yesterday.
I’d planned to mow the lawn so tried to move the piece away.
I thought to get behind it, backing off and sneaking round.
But it sensed my every movement and steadfastly held its...

Something To It.Baby blue sets in. A little baby boy. Soldiers in the cradle make
little soldier noise. A single drop sets in. A monkey on her back
is patiently awaiting for a quick monkey attack.
Now I can't help but think that there's something to...

Do It To ItSex before Marriage,
Then walk down the aisle,
All dressed in white,
with a frolicsome smile...
Test all the waters,
They can't be the same,
Kudos to Marriage,
the new Dating Game......

Light Verse
A Monk and His FerrariIndulgence seldom seems a disease,
Cravings and fear to lose always is.
A monk need notso rid
Save cleavings, good old greed,
Enjoy all blessings as heaven’s bliss.
