Best Upright Poems
UprightDare to bear all
That fling of gall
That sudden fall
Dare to live well
Bear storm and hell
Live what life spells
Dare to be wise
Pay then the price
Rise beyond vice
Dare to be good
In any mood
Love beyond food
Dare to be true
In any cue
Then pay your dues
Dare to be kind
In all...

Upright PositionAs sun slowly climbs,
so is my wish to leave
this bed of agony.
In shadows dust gathers
on rims, wheels,
between unwebbed toes motionless.
Water flows in one direction,
thoughts...

My Father, UprightIn the twilight
of his life
my father, erudite
said to me
Beware the praise singer
strangers who linger
the beggar, the liar
the lottery bookmaker
Son, he said again
watch travelers at dawn
those seeking gain
avoid the late comer
My father said to me
this is the key
my son, upright
this is your cue...

brings divine favour with splendour on high

always sufficient for whatever you need
all of this brings God His own glory
it all started with just...

Hold the Head UprightMy swollen heart crumbles when I see you
Flakes gather in the pit of my stomach
Thoughts of you yesterday as I approach
Mangle my mind, aftershock of things new
Needles niggle my brain, too bad, too true
I look at you and smile and all the time
“What...

Stay UprightStay Upright
Snowman stood on his big round head
because he had a snowy bed.
He had no socks for his toes
that is why they up and froze
they became frost bitten and red.
Limit the Drinking
Mister Snowman drank too much it was said.
He ended up in the...

However else would you think that I could be
Always standing for you here I am
For you my finger's in...

on wings she sailed on voices of silence the melody

There- My Upright Stand Rests On Solid RockNo day have I ever work with the clock,
Come sun; come moon to running time's relay...
There- my upright stand rests on solid rock.
While sun shines; upon my sweats, my hands knock...
Wealth's door at health's risk- foot bills I delay.
No day have I ever work with...

Ragas - Part2Gliding gracefully, “G” came into my life.
Tall, lean, studious, specky guy.
His attitude was just too high!
He would never look eye to eye.
In a few months, we were cutie pies.
He told me, “He likes me, though he took time to realise.”
Pretending to be modest, “Doesn’t that...
