Best Unplanned Poems

"We're going on vacation," my husband said.  I gave him a big kiss.

Time away from home and housework was something I wouldn't miss.

"Let's check into our hotel," I cried, when I heard thunder.

"Which hotel?" My husband asked. I looked at him with wonder.

"You made...

The mysterious day,
Starts up the bubble,
Snooze button delay,
Two shift double,
Colorful schemes,
Heat on full blast,
Notorious themes,
Energy outcast,
Falling out,
Reaching for the hand,
Too much doubt,
A responder unplanned,
Trying to block out,
Block out a power,
A helpful soul’s passion,
Upon a rush hour,
Saved with compassion,
Life blooming; beautiful flower,
Sometimes it takes,
One individual man,
To...

all in the astrological
a probable obstacle
opposing a closing
on misquoting 
avoiding acknowledging
a declaration
of ever changing information
staging the hesitation
as engaging the conversation

    shorted 
    and circular

Why do we have the sky up and not down?
Why does the earth has water all over it?
Why do humans die and never return home?
Why is the moon so far from the earth while
We need light to lit the entire earth when dark?
The moon should...

by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS





I had a great breakfast gave a nice tip to the girl
I was late, had to swerve to avoid hitting a squirrel
I was really lucky when I crossed the yellow line
A semi was coming, head on, I made it back in...

after years of working &
raising the kids, whom both adopted,
ended up with problems that came from
undisclosed heredity,
the two had put aside a 
nest egg, as so many did 
in their generation,
growing up with parents who
remembered the depression &
what it was like to have nothing---
hearing everyday...

O Summer soon will kiss the moon.
She wears a pure white eyelet skirt.
Carries little sandwiches, and lemonade.
Spreads her fare and there she flirts.

The blanket underneath her curves.
Its tartan splendor over the sand.
His ravenous hunger on her lips.
The swelling high tide unplanned.

Her daisy chain loosens from...

the stars stun my cloudy eyes
they never looked so striking
a staircase to the unknown
unplanned destiny

On this road trip we make tentative plans as to the memories we’d like collected
but we often find the best memories are totally unexpected.

Take today for instance..
We planned to visit The Old Round Church in Richmond, Vermont
It was to be the first stop of the...

I have not been on a plane since 2019
That was some three months before COVID-19.
The 2019 trip was one of the worst of my flights.
However, although uncomfortable, it was planned.

But I prefer to tell you about our unplanned flight.
In 2016, my wife and I boldly...

We met at Bervelino’s
On a Friday night,
Nothing was planned,
It was planned.

I said your hair was beautiful honeyed;
Asked for your digits,
You snapped no!
I lit a cigarette;
Your fingers rushed for your nose;
I am about to lose this gem
I feared; losses at love are mine
I soothed, closed the...

He promised me heaven and earth
He showed me his incredible world
I was too young to believe in his tales
Fiction is bit much endearing he said.

I gave everything to him
Even the most precious thing
So we did make love each day
Till something finally happened…

I know it wasn’t...

an unplanned pathway
leading down to the water
creek flowing steady

roadway closed to cars
walkers move freely...
