Best Views Poems

Now, when the day is cool and new
While fragile light is still allowed
My paper captures views of you
Your eyes, the shape of shifting clouds

While fragile light is still allowed
I sketch your hair as blooming trees
Your eyes, the shape of shifting clouds
As rain replenishes the seas

twilight seduces in reds and yellows
birds drift away out of sight
purple and blue is the high sky
the day has changed into night
stars appear to drip in silence
and cause a lonely wolf to call
meadows fill with glorious moon rays
streams in the valley create a waterfall
crickets sing...

To love that which can not be loved
Is to accept grace from the Lord above

To hate that which should not be hated
Is to let one’s self be eternally degraded 

To think that which should not be thought
Allows your own soul to be easily bought

Most things...

A child's view:

"Why did you leave us dear mom and dad?"
"Did we do something to make you mad?"

Tears on our faces, as we see you drive away.
"Please come back, we'll be good everyday!"

Our foster mother hates us, we don't know why.
Maybe she hits us, because...

Is this a world of lies and deceit?
Is deception the norm of the human life?
Must heartache reign for infinity?
Is living a lifetime a nightmarish hell?
Where can I find the solace I need?
When masks of deceit abound
And I know not who's friend or foe,
Who truly lends...

Some poets tell of what they see
no matter the popular cost,
Others can’t see the dying tree,

Jaded by the put me downs
Justly feel my facial frowns
Jaundiced views debilitate
Jeopardise my feeble state

Beyond the golden horizon she dwells 
lightening up more than just a dream 
shadows teasingly move 
along with the mountains 
playing out tantalizing possibilities 
where into my vision she'll lie 

Darkness descends with 
submissive amends 
love just a heartbeat away 
passions entwined 
ethereal oils float...

When I was young and clueless,
If retirement appeared
Somehow upon my radar
I would think it pretty weird.

But if I gave some thought to where
My future self might be,
Most likely it would be a little
Cabin by the sea.

A stroll into a charming town,
My cottage with a view,
A...

He was cocky, he was bold
His views, they left me cold
And I thought he was just another jock
He was black and I was white
But there was something wasn’t right
Still I held on to my views like a rock
He began to gain some fame

Seeing Shoes with Views

When we would start seeing our shoes,
Around each one there are many views;
And shoe fly;
Go bye bye;
They come in a pair always being twos.

When I stand on the back hill, I can see through the trees
To the mountains in the distance
I can feel like I am on top of the world,
As I view the beauty that lies before me
The skyline in each direction offers sunrises and sunsets
Never to...

During the '70's, deep in the South,
     I was white but raised black by a black man.
     As a boy, I have watched the Ku Klux Klan
on the news—and was frightened as a youth
who was “black.” In...

Grace’s Council — Open...

One fine day, a little dit of a field-mouse, so tiny and meek, an avid reader of letters came to a freeze; dry-iced to her fav’rite spot at Grace’s library. As her teeny wee heart echoed her beat, she got stuck in...
