Best Trying Poems

I sense the fullness 
in fleeting moments
At those rare times 
I'm able to let go of me
The ebbs and flows 
of non linear thinking
when I am part of the everything 
I was born to be

For within the simple
Magnificence is grasped
The beginning precedes an ending
that in...

I am trying to sleep here; can someone let the world know?

Somewhere the pressure cooker whistles, 
Rises in the night air, the smell of pulao rice.

The peddler selling eggs on his final tour,
The ringing of his cycle bell and paddle distinctly heard,
Elsewhere a cat mews,...

Trying something new , If you think you see something or someone you recognise .
It is purely coincidental.


I met a romantic queen
and made love to her in a dream 
Her mum said . Put him down 
Drive him out of town 
You've no idea where...

Percy pig was feeling quite shaken -
He'd heard pigs were slaughtered for bacon
Turning white as a sheet
He then started to bleat
As a sheep could he be mistaken!

You try...and try...then try some more,
     trying to obtain that perfect score.

A perfect spouse...
     a perfect house...
          why you even have the perfect mouse.

You try and wear the...

So here’s the deal:
I’m completely pissed off, but not really-
Really I’m heartbroken and just trying to breathe through the ache in my chest,
But that really has nothing to do with what’s going on does it. 
This is ridiculous.  I hate it. It’s not something...

still trying
to bench-press
this weight
the debt
my father left me...

To write in a way so it comes across
With meter and rhyme so nothing is lost
Sounds easy to most but Oh pray tell
Like adding cadence and metaphor well

But I'm no expert so I seldom comment
I mostly enjoy reading without lament
A finely crafted poem, a life...

The light from the window 
danced on the wall
Projecting the branches of the tree outside
Like a painting in the dark.
My melatonin wasnt working
So I watched the light
And I thought about
California, and Idaho,
And Italy, and Egypt
Until I finally fell asleep...

Purple, polka-dot flamingos and buzzards 
frolic near the sleeping volcano lake.  It
wakes and rumbles, crumbling the Haunted Mansion!
~~Driving me Crazy

"Failed to nail it! Poetry errors glaring!
Stop pretending poetic metric knowledge!
Clearly Dear, you're too near the sun!"--Well, Pluck you!
Poisonous Parrot!




Not for any of the contests:

Trying Times

Can I maintain this life
Without begging Christ 
To save me 
From the life he gave me 
Can I walk to the plot
To where lays my father death spot
And stand over his grave 
His life is with me acknowledgement
I’m is daughter but I wasn’t with...

Lying still
Sans motion
Clouded sky
Heavy emotion
Starless Night
Painful separation
Trying to hold on

Stagnant life
She has moved on
Precious memories
Everyday delusion
Burning flame
Blinded vision
Trying to hold on

I took a moment and penned this song
I have been waiting to say it for a long
I am trying to hold on

Yes, I am weak
Never...

A baby elephant arrived at my door,
I invited her in; having guests I adore.
Clutched in her trunk was a purple petunia,
I stifled a giggle; she looked very peculiar!

Swinging her trunk, she request some lunch,
I said “I don’t have much for you to munch”
Still, I ventured...

I'm travelling my journey just trying to find myself 
Heart in one place, my mind's somewhere else
Funny how the people who say they'll always be there never actually take the time to help
I've been lost for a while I'm just trying to find myself

I'm sat...

??Judges 9:8-15 KJVAAE??
[8] The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us. [9] But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honor...
