Best Twelve Poems

January brash and bold,
Brings the worst of winter's cold.
February's stay is brief,
Green sprouts showing some relief.

March may come in like a lamb
And soon become ferocious ram.
Changeling April flirts a bit
And well may have a stormy fit.

We revel in the days of May
And beg her to...

Never fearing.. as love is nearing
Love's consciousness force... completes it’s divorce...(Jer. 3:8) Metaphorically Love divorces
From the mind of strife... that cuts as a knife                   ...

The Twelve Angels of Beirut

They huddle together in the heavens
Muttering amongst themselves
Confused as any human down below

We bestow upon them the ancient teachings
Not once, not twice, variations to please all walks of life
Yes thrice

They may choose the ancient books they follow
They may keep the traditions...

Aries must learn danger with their own toddler test.
Taurus grasp emotions from the feel in their chest.
Geminis wish for words hearers clearly digest.
Cancers thrive in a neat, loving family nest.
Leos strive to lead infused with praise about their best.
Virgos shelve their dreams for duties that...

Two paws for shaking and 
a wet nose on my cheek

On the third day of Christmas Ziggy gave to me
Three loud...

Children, our most treasured wealth shouldn’t grow maimed
In joyful living and the art of life, they need to be groomed

At a young age when they are flexible and pliable
A mother’s gentle guidance will help them not to stumble 
 
I feel I should extend my...

Fates of date, three stand defiant
Put your mind out there, be independent
Planisphere, a.round torrent of current
Twisted the plate, said an apparition.

Get a.board mate there's a mission
Hostile attacks make insecure intention
Blindfolded backs do labor to mention...
It's not at all about to end.  
The Begin began...

I challenged you, and you finally took the bait.
This was a battle that I had to instigate.
But, you only came when I gave you a mandate,
So now I will be happy to accommodate.
Now Burger King Mandelay is on my hotplate!
"YOUR" SELF-MADE throne...I will proceed to...

Twelve dead roses
Wilted and cracked
No longer sweet-smelling
For water they have lacked

Once and elegant bouquet
Now withered and lifeless
Decaying in a precious crystal vase
Not even once missed...

He is twelve and kind-hearted. 
I agree to try another video game because I love him.
He keeps giving me glowing reviews.
“You are doing well, grandma!”
“You got a lot further than last time, grandma!”
Sometimes I know when my spaceship has crashed and burned.
Other times I keep...

Dancing in an uninhibited way,
Glorying in her self-truth
She had no idea she was intimidating
Almost every girl her age,
Not caring a whit about the opinions
Of ones who are not magically in touch
With themselves.

Two teenagers attempted to bully her.
To taunt her, to make fun.
They were not well...

Twelve Steps
(with love,  for Barbara)
By Franklin Price

Twelve steps away you're sleeping
In our giant king sized bed
I pray you're resting peacefully
As these thoughts go through my head

 If I could, I'd take your pain 
Give you a decent appetite
Go through chemo for you
Give you sleep...

There's twelve months for a lifetime...
in all given years,
As days and night times..
shall always appear,

The first three months...
could bring us rain, sleet or snow,
January, February and March,
they come and they go,

Showers, warm weather,
come with April, May and June,
with springtime weather...
bringing summer in full bloom,

Then July,...
