Best True Story Poems

My depression grows everyday,
It started as a come and go,
It decided to stay and create a black cloud,
All I can do,
Is sit and hope,
Wish and dream,
Cry and smile,
I fake these looks for my family,
They feel responsible,
Like they caused my pain,
Truth is,
No one caused it,
It just came,
because a boy,
I loved,
Died,
All alone,
All my fault,
Not being there,
I was...

"It was 6 or 7 years ago
Or so I'd like to think
I traveled to my eye doctor..
(I should'a seen a "shrink"!!)

My dad and I we awaited
In a filled up waiting room
Patients all a'seat
Magazines all askew
There wasn't much to say there
There wasn't much to do...

Slowly I did notice
Some odd glances made at me...
Some hand-covered conversations...
Some smirks...

‘I am Eddie Rowlands, I became a Christian in 1985, at that time I also experienced evil opposition toward me, to the extent of being confronted by satan.

I live in Tucson, in a trailer court on the South side
All Mexican, except for me the old Gringo
I speak Spanish, can get along with most anyone
With all the Mexican border drugs, things can get wild
I am getting old and taking things slow
Was sort of a paradise in the Arizona Sun

The owner has lights, security...

The Retuning Smiles

i see beneath pairs of almond-shaped, green leavess
On white fabric, flowers set with four heart-shaped petals,
The color of sun-kissed blueberries,
Decorating the smocked sundress  of the pig-tailed toddler
.Hanging over the crook of her mother’s arm, and
With her dazzling, black eyes looking all around 
For some reason to be let down
Just as I was...

A song by the Allman Brothers, titled Melissa, I was, hearing Sweet Mellisa over and over, while writing this.
 The Story begins as a teenaged College student is informed by her Doctor that she is pregnant. Her thoughts began to overwhelm her. Thoughts of telling her parents, and afraid, of their reaction. Would they be...

they said when they found her
she was frozen

my god-mother who was a police officer
told me 
they had to peel the ice laden sheets from
my mothers face

i knocked on the the door
the night before

when it swung open behind the iron guard gate

i stared at champagne
such an odd name
for a pit bull

having hated me for years
he lunged...

As related by my father;

Once, long ago,
he rear ended a cop car
Not a happy thing you know...
The cop had stopped short
But he wasn't the sort
To admit what he ought
He could find little reason
for legal action,
So he sought another sanction
He had my father tested
by a mental doc
Who asked stupid questions
You know that crock...

His defining question,
"What would...

In a little West Texas cow town years ago
There was an  old doctor by the name of Hill
Little man, mild mannered, cheerful until made mad
He doctored old cowboys and drunks when things got slow
His usual cure was a kick in the butt and a pill
He had some regular people that weren't to bad


Doctor Hill...

**Eloping in a Blizzard**


In a blizzard, our car stalled
in total darkness in The Great Divide.
The wind like a witch cackling in the pitch dark 
of night!

A mix of snow and sleet encasing the
car, twas a most frightening sight.
Not one light could be seen on this road,
my heart was anything but light.

Frightened and shivering, oh God,...

An Angel, came in human form.
Arrived at my house about noon.
I knew he had a spirit, for he was 
past any norm.
And my keen, mystical soul, was 
right with him in tune.

We chatted for just a bit...
The uniqueness of his spirit showed.
I did not want him to ever leave 
or quit.
For as I ascertained, I was...

It was on one early summer morn
that the voice of a watchful Mama Corn
told a frightful story, meant to warn
her son, Pop, just recently born.

"Pop", it said, her darling boy to save,
"Once, in a cornfield, I too would wave. 
In the sun and breeze,  I was brave, 
but you must listen up and behave.

You're...
