Best Wow Poems

I get it now…

it’s not about
momentous events

it’s about
memorable moments

moments that 
take your breath away

being in the moment
with your whole being

being at one
with the universe

wherever
that may be

MEANA THE WEEVIL ITCH

In deepest hyper space, in the land of Zog,
lives a weevil itch who resides in a bog
At birth she'd been Zogletised as Gina,

Her personality just carries my spirit out to play
The longer she stays...

Memories do bow
In many ways I know...

**A Sweet Waltz**

As I kissed her lips
tasting her candy glaze
she bended ever so slowly
for a little of this mayonnaise.
And I said arise baby, 
don't stay in that stance.
stand up, we'll embrace
and start this love dance.

A freestyle by a dear friend of mine who gave me...

That my words shall be honest I vow
No mere rhymes such as ‘How now brown cow’
But an aesthetic furrow I’ll plough

Then I’ll speak my lines if you’ll allow
As we sit in cool shade neath a...

Reality, wow what a concept
lifes provable facts
those incontrovertible truths
things that stick out and not fall in the cracks

Its subject to interpretation you see
describing the elephant for the blind
this part the leg,
that a tail, this part a trunk!! Divine!

For reality takes an observer
to set itself in...

An epiphany...
Want to thrive past one hundred? 
Please ponder my point:

Cultivate boredom
thus making time pass slower

Let sleeping dogs lie
Don't get tripped by their feet
They come awake with a snarl,
and might think that you're meat....

I was ‘ Walking ’ back from grocery shopping
When I saw something, that had me hopping…

She had shades on, like a Movie-Star

She said, “Woo and wow me, the best that you can”
with tubes stuck deep in each arm;
He said, “I’d love to, my Valentine,
but I’d hate to set off the alarm.”

Valentine’s Day in a hospital bed
doesn’t paint a romantic scene,
but the love that he shared by...

Revolutionary insight excelled
for forty days and forty nights.
Noah discovered what rain was;
Moses received God’s ten laws twice.
Josh and Caleb searched out the land;
Jesus triumphed o'er Satan's tests.
Goliath’s grand boasting accrued;
Elijah travelled in anguish.
