Best Wide A Poems

There are cities of sonnets to map
Quests of pantoums and villanelles 
To harness, and ride
Across the wide
Tangled grassland of gratuity
Unwritten, unruled
Anarchy of expression
Empty lines can entice
And immobilize 
The choice of choice
May embolden, or paralyze
But the space you embrace
Is where you hear your voice
In the discipline...

We Found Paradise, Its Valleys Wide And Soft Green

When your heart sang to this downtrodden and lost man
singing birds stopped singing to hear that melody;
I was broken, walking through life without a plan
if sorrows were a joke, I was their parody.
Your kiss, healed aching pains,...

only foolish men
let their nation plummet, with
their eyes wide open...

I
Waited
Patiently
For you to call
I feel so lonely
Longing to hear your voice
Azure sea keeps us apart
Suddenly the telephone rings
The smile in your voice eases my heartache

Summer’s sweetest natural dessert
Presented itself to me in the form of a
Large seeded watermelon that
I found by chance at a local food stand.
Thrilled was I to see such a perfect specimen!

Wide, round, and green,
It had a yellowish underside and those “bee stings”
Desired by people who...

God's Majestic and Wide

        Breathe in an ocean so vast and so grand where seagulls and seashells sprinkle the sand.
        So turquoise blue, majestic and wide, homes for God's creatures at...

Don Christmas socks and ugly sweaters, All.
‘Tis not the season for your being shy.
Come jingling to the Worldwide Christmas Ball.

Let not your woes cast over you a pall.
Be like the brightest star that lights night’s sky.
Don Christmas socks and ugly sweaters, All.

From sunny Sydney to...

“Love is a power so strong, yet if compressed without
 outlet, it is as good as stagnant waters"---by poet


 As we roamed under the star spangled sky, 
Sharing many a trivial thought
I failed to voice my clandestine whim
Structured within my heart's inmost core
When words got...

Wood Wide Web

Entwined beneath our feet
Is a world so discrete

A society laughing and crying
Families living and dying

Sharing all that sustains,
Life coursing through their veins 

Touching, feeling and connecting 
Existing, surviving and protecting 

They feel when neighbors are hurt
The air for them is the dirt

They're roots...

In quiet, space breaks down into insight.
Opposing the edge amidst deceit and blight.
Imperceptible resonation is reflected back.
On a hunch, or at the stroke of night track.

A lethal tree is still close in the woodlands.
The spirit was trailing on the kist of the tree.
At first, kids...

Little
Miss Witch nose twitched.
Bewitched a mundane stitch;
Halloween clown from head to toe
trick, treat.

She walked
Down the dark street
With sweet sounds of laughter.
Skittles, candy corn, M&Ms
Bag full

One, two,
Three, sudden; Poof!
Black spike hat, gown, and boots
Holding a kitten as black cat
Looked out....

Seeing the world fall 
the people failing one another 
I find solace in knowing
that even through life 
we are more than chemical reactions. 

Screaming through 3/8 inches 
of the human skull, 
longing for the rains- 
over the empty manor, 
Followed only by a sickening tapping....

Some spider webs in our house
Are permanent installations
That have been up there so long
I’ve named them constellations

The largest is Webus Major
Made by a little nipper
That crawls around all day long
On what I call the silk dipper

One of my faves has got to be
The Arachnadromeda shape
And...

My wide wide window, a source of joy
Revealing trees in summer green dresses,
Leaves fluttering like Degas dancers,
And rippling heat waves rising from grassy ground.
A dove dares to land on a hot metal feeder,
And pecks his fill.

No cinema, no photography, no painting so grand,
Can offer such...

The love of God, it is so wide,
That all who will, may in it bide.
When Jesus on the cross did die,
God’s love was echoed in His cry.

The love of God is strong and long,
Echoing like an endless song.
The one who has no birth nor end,
Came...
