Single fleet
How we can merge on a Continental Drift is up to me
She's comes apart
This is the only way backs in
Turbulence bests us otherwise
That
Pitch chase and drags in swirl pre disposed moments?
I'ma feeling of pause
Ifns a bluff
Scene one of myriad finance?
Eclipse glare meniscus orders down
I only got an in an out focus for table of me in line for hours of next meals getting chewed
Every acrobat on mind has winged in wars.
Old or sceptical
Generals an Admiral
My ability is return the crap that sent that
Illusive wonder they stay on land with tech
And Pika is her gorgeous name
Just like a star of a video game
My heart rejoices as she wags her tail
Her lovely antic does not fail
She's a blend of orange and white
Just like the sunset, she's a charming delight
A lovely scene that soothes the eyes
Her glamor bests even the sunrise
Everytime she comes near me
My heart is filled with ecstasy
For, her name bears the love of my heart
Like we're together, though we're apart
I wish she'll live a longer life
Free of sorrow and mournful strife
For, to my lone heart, she brings joy
She's both my best friend and my toy

I am in Uvira flower boutiques,
Which flower will capture the
Attention of visitors in my new house?
A confused question which needs
An accurate response.
All flowers are so beautiful
My eyes rotate so quickly
My hands hesitate to choose
The best of the bests.
My noses pulling adorable fragrance
From the four corners of the boutiques.
Many customers coming in and out
While I am still focusing to find the best
Flower. The boutique owners trust their
Goods , they are always positive
As they got qualities from different places.
I wish to keep visiting these boutiques
May be I will end up finding the best
Of the best flowers....Hahaaah!
It seems
hard
to find the best
of the best flowers
As all are best in my eyes
And no one can pick for me.
May be I will end up picking ten different
Qualities of flowers to decorate my future mansion.

I scribble much of love’s dear kiss
yet all my phrase can’t equal this:
of life’s worst things that I abhor
no horror bests the curse of war …
no horror bests that evil … WAR.

Celia from 'A'
tenures the lot
Standing near those Grey
Bay's rocky scabs
slapp'd by tide
Stagnant water
Green at the feet.
Into time too
From womb birth'd
briefly hearts
Remark regularly,
Geiger counter
Measuring, drone
Circulating
A style that too
Tho pound for
Pound bests itself
Croons when moored
Hits the deck when able;
Dies. After all, that's
Part of circulations
Verse & volt what
Did they do
The songs from strings
The blood bells the
Thin pines at work,
’44 ash magnum
Coiling skyward?
With a spiral staff and a wizard’s hat, the creature entered her habitat.
Sensing presence before he'd gone far, she transmogrified into a scar.
Placed herself on her familiar, a mystical magical, yellow tabby cat.
Candles were lit; he wondered why she had left her cottage like that.
A powerful magic he brought into this eerie, creepy Halloween night.
A few mice scampered quickly down shelves and out of sight.
Had the witch hanged into a rat? He said a spell and swirled his hat.
Scar was silent, but he was hissed at with feeling by the witch’s cat.
Maybe a cat, he thought, and he gave his wand a swirl.
The cat’s whiskers changed rapidly, turned into a magnificent curl.
If he had hit the scar, she would have been revealed, and in danger.
But he missed. She appealed to her spells before he could change her.
He had changed her once, but not this time. She was smarter now.
She filled the room with smoke and gave her spell books a “wow!”
Then she swished her own wand and he disappeared out of sight.
Witch bests warlock reported the Halloween Express that night.
Cherishing The Triumphs of others,
Ready for their suicidal orders:
Spellbound by their Astonishing Peaks,
These discussing for tireless weeks:
The Tall Mountains France has ascended,
In their praises lowly descended …
Marvelous ideas of US Tribes,
Whereas they can challenge their own scribes;
World Bests’ become their Third Cousins,
Only last week with them tasty cuisines
New Types Good Morning at 6:00am
Man City shall Chelsea serve Bad Yam
Or, it has not been The Infrequent:
BARCA has huge faith that doesn’t faint!
And it has been a commendation:
The Gooks’ Breakthrough and Mediation,
Their Steadfast Wondrous Technology
And luck with Global Synergy;
A mockery of their own delays
In the running of The Spread-out Relays
Their own strides hurting with crossed fingers ...
Improvement on Hand-Made Bombs lingers.
I am chose to be a warrior,
among thousands and thousands,
to lead as leader among best of the bests,
to be savior among brave and strongest,
to teach love and glory among smarts and intelligence.
I am chose to be an army
for me and my nation.
Chose among who are already so much,
ready for the nation.
Among those braves who are called "Gorkhali",
all over the world,
I am a warrior, Nepali.
Favoured poems allow me to feel blessed, letting me rejoice
Announcing soul’s gratefulness midst apathetic noise
Vouching expression anchored upon faith’s poise
Optimizing reflective times, despite doubt ploys
Resonating human nature's bests and decoys
Expressing earnestness of heart’s voice...
Declaring my need for the Lord's hoist.
Poems I delight in reverberate with life joys
Offering inspiration against hypocrisy that annoys
Exuding truth in varied forms along writers’ prudent choice
Making me praise* God for poets and their great style-alloys...
Shaping my poetry, enhanced by what my learning pen employs.
*Psalm 44:8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever.

Miscellaneous Tidbits
By Tom
Stupidity
A trait for which medical science has found no cure.
Full of Dregs
Ever look at a drop of water under a microscope?
I imagine our lives appear much the same in God’s eye.
A Pancake’s Two Sides
One thing worse than never having enough,
is never having any.
Call It Individuality
Just as there are opposite sides to each coin,
There also are opposing views to your every idea.
Intelligence Bests Speed
Leading the pack isn’t necessarily being faster than the other dogs,
Sometimes it’s knowing where the shortcuts are!
There are two ways of doing every task,
The way you prefer it, and the way you get it.
More people are fleeced through inattention,
than by their lack of knowledge.
You may criticize the results,
But you have to praise my effort.
The source that has grub staked me to life,
will one day declare my note is due.
Then our debt will either be marked “paid in full”
or “weighed in the balance and found wanting”
I fail in getting the desired answer,
because most times I’m asking the wrong question.
God-ordained, yet people-oriented…
That’s the ministry* we are called to bear
May we be compassionately prompted…
Spiritually led, we show love’s great care.
May we not be foolishly blinded…
Propelled by selfishness’ interests
To the Lord, let’s be fully yielded…
Striving to do our parts with utmost bests!
Divine labour demands our persistence…
As we trust Christ to guide us with His light
For He blesses gracious competence…
Honouring Him with earnest work’s delight.
Let’s trust the Lord midst our obedience
Pleasing Him with our faith’s performance
As we serve along earnest patience
Joyously, yet devoid of arrogance.
*1Timothy 1:12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry.

Expensive as expressed by the precious Scriptures
Explaining divine wisdom’s invaluable cost
Exclaiming virtuous woman’s priceless host…
…Exquisite rubies* own gems’ distinct blest features.
Excellently created through Providence might
Extremely durable against rigorous tests…
…Exceptional rubies empower man's faith-bests
Exposing the supreme Designer’s vibrant light.
* Proverbs 8:11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
Proverbs 31:10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

Honorable Mention "TRIBUTE TO A PRECIOUS OR SEMI-PRECIOUS GEM" Poetry Contest; Sponsored by Line Gauthier; judged on 5/16/2019.
Exquisite thing of beauty
Thy luscious hue bests vintage wine,
Which precious stone could oust thee
In radiance, thou art divine
Translucent ruby 'pon my ring,
No lustrous sheen compares to thine.
There are poetry bullies.
Have you met one, yet?
I know it sounds off,
such a foreign concept.
People who love words
and fitting them just so,
polishing a poem
to watch it glow,
that they could turn
their magical pen
and wield them to slash
seems a grave sin.
For gifted with feeling
and a sharp mind
to turn and hurt others
is more than unkind.
For their targets are poets!
--the sensitive sorts
with lovely expression
and vulnerable hearts.
Be careful out there.
Be keenly aware,
but please be brave,
and continue to share
your lovely selves,
your ideas, all your bests,
and please don’t be bullied
by poetry pests.
My daughter was reflecting
All the bests in her life.
She caught me off guard.
When she brought up
Her favorite memory ever.
A giant box?
Remember when Tee and I were little, she asked me.
And you gave us the giant box.
We colored it, decorated it, played in it until it was in shreds.
We cried when it was gone.
Her favorite memory in forty-six years of living.
It meant so much to her, I pretended to remember
