Premium MemberBeautiful Depression

What is it that is wrong with me 
If you would allow I'll easily explain 
There's a monster named depression 
That is living inside my brain 

A fierce warrior you can't defeat
Against happiness it'll always win
Happiness would be better off
To leave and never return again 

Eliminating it's enemy emotions 
My depression the last to remain 
So that it can build a great kingdom 
And live peacefully inside my brain 

My depression I promise is loyal
It has sworn to never go away 
At last my beautiful depression 
I believe has come home to stay in


Premium MemberThis Land

I am a baby
Teach me how to love this land 
Africa is home

Premium MemberWarm Shelter

Faded murmurs soothe new twilight as a gentle smoke blows around the wind... mild circles hushing my Manila dwelling along a dampened , rainy lane bringing me back home to shelter me after a rugged storm of heart, its pain... breezy whiffs with the falling of wrinkled branches ruffle the threads of drenched sky, yet the soft fire- glow of home cradle these breaths ...and all else lays quiet in the twang of sunrise. First Place

Premium MemberSheltering in Her Cowry Shell


securely sheltering it in her shell
       nurturing while within
             heeding to each gentle whisper
                   to each tap from tiny feet
in time She curls it in her embrace
       caresses it in her hug     
              fondles it with boundless care
                     cuddles it with sweetish love-
when fully fledged, sailing the high sea
             will it care for the cowry shell, its first home!

Premium MemberMy Family


I didn’t know the true strength of the family bonds 
until the sky suddenly fell with tough times of turmoil.
We got deracinated, turned into derelict drift wood, 
until my mother found for the family an anchorage, 
a nest for us to fly together in the sky of sanguine future.  

As her gift of a home reinforced our family affinity 
I soared high in the care of her protective wings.
Wild winds couldn’t waft away my ascending aspirations 
because I lived in the sheltering shadow of her love,
that guided her with family values to sculpt me what I’m.


Premium MemberThe Glass

The glass never belonged
Where it found itself,
Lying in pieces, wronged
A mile below the shelf

Not knowing how it got there
Needing help getting up,
Too far to reach there ...
The handle of another cup

To a corner was cast aside
Among the cobwebs and dust,
It had so swiftly glide ...
The rest of the glass did bust

Shards in the shadows laid
Year after year unrepaired,
If only the glass had stayed
Upon a shelf where someone cared.

Premium MemberValentine Promises in the Dark

A Valentine with a twist in the tail Poetry Contest
2/1/2026
Sponsored by: Suzette Richards


Driving home, finally in sight.
Soft winds drift through the silent night,
Twinkling stars cast a gentle light -
turning off the car.

Dreams arise in the quiet air,
Hopes and wishes floating with care.
Night without kids, a lucky pair -
and yet, here we are.

Premium MemberFinders Keepers

Mary found a little puppy.
She took him home to feed him.
That was ten years ago.

Premium MemberHoney I'm home

I've had a rough day.
I could use a swedish back massage.
You'd be a sweetie, honeybunch.

Premium MemberLike In The Old Movies

Under the pretext of care 
a real care takes place, 
and the worries are over
at least until the next morning
with its muted white light
but what an advantage, dear
you are at home
the winds and rains are outside -
sometimes it’s important to notice
but later, maybe the same evening
it doesn’t matter
because the night creeps in
as it usually does, all of sudden
and like in the old movies
the sign” the end” appears
in the damp air
over the darkened foliage.

Premium MemberIMMINENT

Moment in time
Urgency response
Hour glass expiration
Soulful rise
Not physical rise of one’s own
Death Angel guest
Heaven’s request
Limp body still
Eyes fully closed
Preparation Descend
Target being the Pearly Gates
Imagined all my life
The Place, City and Ever After
Tomorrow came quick
No resist to stick
Choice to go
No more sickness nor pain
No worries
Leaving Earth of hateful thoughts and being an uncaring world
Day of a new day
The Roam
Above all
The call
Lord full finish
New home
Journey worthwhile
Heaven’s style
While

Premium MemberGUN-MOUS

Hand gun
Shoot Theory
Bullets aim
Victims with names
Totally lame
Kill instance
Never stand nor rise
Close to the heart and hitting home
Each door becomes harder to roam
Families who mourn
Freedom that’s said, but hard to believe
Pistols and the hands behind
Wonder and yonder of hope
A world on hate that needs to think and cope
Guns are no joke
Lives cut short
When will guns finally end?
It’s up to Washington to respond in gun’s disappear
Living in Gunsmoke
Away with guns and let’s communicate
Families would love to see guns pull back
Let’s us all associate and appreciate
Guns have no place
Senseless murder a waste.

Premium MemberALCOHOLIC APPLE PIE WINE

Vineyard discovery
Winery cellar somewhere in Pennsylvania
It was an Escorted Tour by Defuncted BISS TOURS
We tasted several wines
The alcoholic Apple Pie wine caught my attention
The blend of ingredient
No nutrient
Senses of aroma opened and taste
I am no wine drinker
I was intrigued in the Apple Pie wine
It was genuine
No bake nor oven
Quality at its best
From the very first sip
That was my tip
Brought a bottle of the Apple Pie wine to take home
Remember and always will of that wine
Didn’t get drunk
First time hearing of Apple Pie wine
Compelling name
No shame
Only the taste taking aim

Premium MemberWhat happened to the place

I resided there once
I returned to find it derelict 
Looks like a horror scene
Spiders spun webs
Doors locks blown off
Leaves placed as if arranged evilly
When I was there
I remember it serene 
Well cared for secure place to live
Warm and tranquil
What have you done to the place
