Best Uneventful Poems

‘Twas the night before Christmas,
and once in my bed,
no visions of anything 
danced in my head.
The night – uneventful -
no kids bothered me.
No sound of small feet
rushing out to the tree!

My husband lay snoring
at least until ten.
I put on some TV
just waiting for when
my daughter,...

I sense and feel mystique of its appeal
In vibrant, verdant, blossoming spring,
Splendorous prairies undulating breeze,
Resplendent falling of autumnal leaves,
Glacial winds bemoaning a frozen sigh,
A cerulean terpsichore of ocean tides~
I sense and feel, yet can’t cage its wings.

Purposeful, evocative, musings unwind
When elixir of missives invigorates mind
In...

Talking anxiously to myself,
Thoughts fresh of the new,
Some deliberate, others not,
Thoughts old and forgotten,
Mostly familiar or so it appears.

Still wondering why 
Am I here? Or maybe not.
Is not the grass still green? 
And the snow ... white...

These are the days uncertainty is in our midst
although folks often claim ignorance is bliss
often these folks tend to wear rose colored glasses
ignoring the signs and the breaking news flashes

While other's shake their heads and ask why
as they digest the news while choking on Mom's...

can you imagine yourself a young girl from Nighastan?
who is thirteen, and never stepped foot in regular school?
toiling day and night, taking care of siblings and housework,
her smile reminds of fresh-bloomed rose, no cameras capture.

can you imagine yourself a young boy from Labonga,
works in a...

Dear friend of longstanding honor
Come, sit beside me here
My tale of woe is a yawner,
But, one fitting your ear.

My sin uneventful.
She was most resentful,
Not so consentual.

You have stayed with me to the bitter end
So sorry I cheated on her, dear friend.

From way up high looking down on Earth
Living up on some clouds to the west
Is my guardian angel watching over me
Not allowing hard times and unrest

Blessed with good fortune and a happy life
Pretty lucky when I hear people mutter
It hasn't been a popular trend among...

A funny thing happened on the way to heaven.
Of course I had been told about the Pearly Gates.
I had lived my life until eighty and seven, 
And had always been aware of the choice of fates.

My death had been uneventful as those things go -
The...

Black Birds 
Congregating
In the dead of night
Stealthy midnight chatter
outside my window pane
No singing to my ears 
Just constant rain
Thunder crackling
The children have left
Just the plots 
And leaves scurrying
 the wind swirling
Upwards almost 
Telling me look up
Refusing I tell myself
It can't be 
just hallucinations
The oval mirror...

A MOMENT IN LIFE

     
Tears   filled my eyes, as my heart riveted with pain
As I watch your body lay there lifeless  
Jokingly you say its okay I’ll be fine 
The question I often asked GOD,   why...

The Darkness, the Delirium, living a life of Sorrow
From the eons of Yesterday, through the eons of Tomorrow 

The Hell I live in, the Hell that envelopes my Soul
The anguish of lost LOVE, beating on the rocky Shoal

The loneliness of an uneventful loss of Forever...

Sometimes I want to scream
“This is not me!"
But then who would I be
Without these reflections 
Of the world outside 
So I abide 
In the lie of conformity
And do my best to ignore the enormity 
Of the universe inside my head,
All the things I should have...
