Best Twenty Eight Poems

My daughter's getting married
To a super guy called Tom,
It's really fast approaching,
It won't be very long.

The wedding dress is sorted,
The venue and the flowers,
The music and the fireworks,
But the cake, it took us hours.

We went to do some tasting,
Each sponge was quite divine,
Chocolate orange, vanilla
Pimms,...

Everyday 
I get up at eight
With hope after hope 
Live those lovely moments
Of Spring time mornings
To start a new mindful day
And leave:
The feeling of her eyelash movements in my mind
The fact of true passion emerging beside
The first letter of the word we have defined
And the...

The Ruba’iyat of Créteil Lake – Part Twenty-Eight

Other media meanwhile busy with who’s sleeping with whom
Relying on New-Sweep and Thyme to make loud front-page zoom
Mainly of those who leapfrog into top power palaces
On whether de Beauvoirs or transvestites be given more room

Dohr took dire toll...

What shall I place
on page twenty-eight?
my loves, my goals, my sorrows?
I'm hoping through grace
my words (though not great)
will still ring true tomorrow

My soul flows again
from my diligent pen
and gathers my thoughts and emotions
setting in place a run-away pace
that clings to my truest devotion

For writing like...

Plaster full leg casts

Twenty Eight
Twenty Eight Times 
Twenty Eight Lies 
Twenty Eight steps I slide down
I Had found love with a Special lady at club Twenty Eight 
I Had offered her Twenty Dollars but she turned it down to only have
 Twenty Eight shot of liquor pour into...

Mom was only twenty-eight when she moved in this house in 1977,
And she lived here until she moved to Sneedville, Tennessee in 2011.
Mom was beautiful at twenty-eight and she was still beautiful at sixty-four.
She would still be beautiful today but sadly, she isn't with us...

Twenty eight years – oh my
So fast - they do go
From the sweet young girl I first met
To the beautiful women I now know

It just keeps getting better
Like wine – it refines
It deepens the meaning
Great things come - all in due time

Commencement – a new...

Everything is out in the open no matter how I try to dress 
it, I'm on my Adam & Eve my sins are naked so I felt as 
tho I address it we all got sloppy seconds everything 
nowadays is recycled, we claim we worship...

My February birthday,
A day born into this world,
Never knowing how it'd turn out,
Like the flag of life unfurled,
Love's fate been fickle,
As to many of us,
I am sure
But carry on we must,
It's God's will that we must endure

But the highest high,
Better than drugs or love,
The Lord...

Mental illness did not find its healing on earth

—10/31/2021 RIP

Then will the lame leap like a deer,
and the mute tongue shout for joy…
In the haunts where jackals once lay,
grass and reeds and papyrus will grow.

—Isaiah 35: 6 & 7 (portions)

Cancer at Twenty-Eight
(alive at Eighty)
Written: by Miracle Man
8/29/2019

A diagnosis of Cancer,
Had me at life’s turning point.
I sought the face of Jesus,
Believing He’d anoint.
All I saw were steep odds, 
Stacked against my person.
And without divine help,
 My situation would worsen.
I sought forgiveness for sin, 
And was...

We plunder precious planet at a pace.         
Now seems we’re showing some signs of regret
As ill effects now hit us in the face?
But still our need for more land must be met,     ...

Your steps so measured, soft and slow,
Through Irish streets where neon glows,
While I match pace, half-step behind,
Your gentle rhythm fills my mind.

Tomorrow brings your twenty-eight,
As Newbridge glows through Darragh's rain,
Like Naevis' light through darkened skies,
Where æ-dreams dance and harmonize.

Sweet Mary Grace, my Savage star,
From Milner...

Is twenty-eight cats extensive? She asked.
We dared not speak to our Mama Masked.
She has lots of money, and no dependents yet.
If she dies, the ones who please her will be totally set.

Oh, not, I lied. Twenty-eight is not enough.
The next time I visited she had...
