Best Worth Its Weight In Gold Poems

The Guennol Lioness is the most expensive sculpture ever sold at auction.

If she were of another constitution, 
which was better suited to our social responsibilities – 
a frailty of son, 
a defenselessness of husband, 
a femininity of man, -
she might be able to hope for...

And has a superb facility with words and themes making all fit perfect and right;
She has an unrivaled mastery of the poetic art and writes with the best approach,

Love’s a mystical force, that’s laden with nectar and emotion,
That many people sacrifice so much so often for in this life.
Love has the properties of an all-powerful alchemic potion,
Which is said can better help those in such a forlorn strife!

This famous four-letter word has such...

You can take back my adulthood
          I don't want it anymore
               Please rescind responsibilities
     My (horrific) credit score...

Dear Paramedics….  With this poem I admire and honour you
For the occupation you have chosen
Doing a job that so many of us just couldn’t do

You are first on the scene
Dealing with behaviours, emotions ,wounds
Raw human reality of the ultimate extreme

Absolute panic ,violence, sadness, trauma...

Grab a wooden spoon, and choose a mixing bowl
A breakfast that is piping hot is worth its weight in gold!
You can make them by the dozens, or one or two will do
Make them for your next of kin, or neighbors you have got
Even for those...

These humorous lines were inspired by
Viv Wigley's "Food Fight" contest. 
Could not resist the temptation:)

I dreamed of something silver
Worth its weight in gold
I dreamed I found a necklace
That was something to behold

I dreamed of myself walking
At the end of my tightrope
I dreamed I found a necklace
That would give me hope

I dreamed of rapid changes
So sudden and so right
I dreamed...

The girl was from a wealthy home,
And he was very poor,
They both were told they shouldn't wed,
But thought their love was sure.

The boy was raised in poverty,
And she, with silver spoon,
And people told them they should wait,
But they were wed in June.

Now, he had naught...

Foreign On Wind And Word 

Tie down words in yesterday’s dilemmas, gondola soft
Send them off on feathers, light as weathers messengers 
What are words but air up there in winds
Let them fly, to catch a cold or flake of snow
Who knows, maybe reason will come...

Well did somebody say something about love
Love worth its weight in gold, heart and soul
How many times have I been played but love
Is finally here with me today and it's got me
Dancing down a rainbow...
Why now are you coming around asking me
To take you back,...

A stanza at the end of the year
Wouldn't show how much it meant
It almost seems like it was a different world
That has come to an end

Life back then seemed like just a fleeting dream
The kind of thing where you can't wake up
No matter how much...

She is as holy
As a toothpick
But loves
To tell the world
How spiritual she is

She joins organizations
Religious groups
And churches
But never goes to church
Or board meetings
Or get-togethers
To help others
But she joins… nonetheless!!!

And of course
Her friendship
So "carefully" given
Is worth its weight in gold
Is priceless
Because its value is
Zero
Zilch
Zip
Nada
Nothing
Not worth the...

Any poem just for you as long as it makes you feel the way I do 
I'll sweeten it with sugary words of love and sprinkle it with care 
penning by the light of the moon I'll scribble until break of dawn  
any poem...
