Best Wishing Poems

"Wishing Well"




Plain Jane blew her wishes 
down a wishing well

Lit long white bless'ed candles
dipped in holy water 

Brackish 

Crocodile tears from Hell
Witches hold hands together

Stand united
show and tell

Plain Jane 
knows her subjects inside out

Sisters plain and simple
holding hands 

united 

standing by the 
Wishing Well

Can you imagine the day when we will all know
it will be safe to go outside and say, "Hello."
Sharing hugs and laughter with family and friends
enjoying time with each other on long weekends

We could even go abroad for a holiday
and our grandchildren could visit a...

Recollections waft
across my mind like
wisps of soft white spores - 
the vague remnants of
my memory’s threads.

Spring’s sun-gold heads
I now can‘t hold!
But glimpsing them,
I can recall. . ..

a young girl
blowing fluff
and wishing

time would
quickly 

pass.

I am the river
not this bucket of water 
attached to a rope...

She's writing again
God, how I love her pen
That hand can make a man tremble
Her script today about the sea
So jealous, wishing it were me

Just seeing her name
And I'm falling to pieces
I can't shake the feeling 
Or stop myself from reeling
Captivated by her heart

Paradise abides within...

How I wish my poems could,
Soar higher and higher
Like a bird of limitless wingspan,
Dashing into horizons far!
But they skim like web footed water birds,
Tilting their wings in vain,
Unable to fly to any desired destination
Helplessly watching larks and eagles
Flying to the far edges of the sky

How...

You’re still here 
But not physically
although you appear constantly  
You’re the wish I make on stars on the long dark nights without you
You’re the candles on my cake I blow out as I wished our firefly loved still burned 
You’re the wishbone pulled form...

Name your next ten children Trump
May all your twins be Donald's
I wish you a Merry Christmas too
With Happy Birthday visions of him
With surfer dude hair very wavy and thin
Almost life like and pretty pink
And may all your New Years be funky
Full of Trump and truck...

Wishing upon a star 



I made a wish upon a star
this evening in the sky
To send my love to where you are
as it goes shooting by

And if by chance it misses you 
while flying high above
Then I will use my poetry 
to send to you...

Waiting for spring to arrive,
winter, oh  w i l l  I survive!

I want no snowflakes falling,
oh,  SPRING  you are crawling.

Outside the snowflakes are pretty
wishing for blooms.  Oh PITY!

I want  flowers to caress,
wear a sweet summer dress;
snow is my...

Revisiting our ancestral farmhouse
I feel this certain tinge of aloneness,
Which smudges the lively remembrances
About a big clan huddled together
Under narra trees, each Sunday…a frolic kindled
By Grandpa’s recycled stories about literature,
His passion for Cole Porter’s music,
And the grace of old jazzy temperament…
Oh, we would feast on...

Wishing, Hoping, Praying

I wish so badly that I was dead
Found in a tree hung under head
The tender kiss felt from a rope
Its for this end that I do hope
To end the pain felt day to day
Its for my death that I do pray
So I am...

O stars, your twinkling never changes
with moods or emotions.
That’s why you give people hope
when there is no light
at the end of the tunnel in their lives.

O stars, I wish only one thing from you-
the secret to how you glow 
every day and night without a...

No need for wishing

We waltzed on the moon
while the universe slumbered
Strolled through a maze at 
the edge of midnight

Stenciled a heart on 
the clouds found at sunset
Painted a garden 
in jasmine delight

Watched as the day dawned
a silken mosaic
Laid in the grass
neath a heaven sent view

Bid...

The sky has a star
In darkness it shines
With the shinny moon 
         light
This bright star stands
          out
In the moon lit sky
I make a big wish
Then hope it comes...
