Premium Member The Smiling Old Sun-Cl
The sun above us in the sky provides for life on earth each day. It’s like a big hot apple pie that shines a slice of warmth our way. We thank God for each streaming ray that awakens the morning eye. In sleep, in work, in rest and play the smiling old sun passes by. 2/5/20 Oh-No A Twisted Char-Lay Poetry Contest Sponsored by: charles...

Premium Member The Damsel Saved Herself - Cl
Her plight a tragic tale of woe Confined to solitary cell She cried because she didn't know If folks would ever know her hell One night it happened that she fell It seemed at first a mortal blow... Yet daily she recovered well ~ Released to wedding bells, she glowed ...

Premium Member Neon Lights - Cl
The city lights of neon flash To dull sounds of the traffic flow Upon the sidewalks footsteps crash As people bustle to and fro A city that never moves slow For time is money, in cold cash Getting caught in its neon glow They seem to be in a mad dash 1-27-2020 Oh-No A...

Premium Member When the Inside Dies-Cl
A wayside plant nobody cared, bloomed a forlorn flower in spring. In glint of petals your face flared, like motif on butterfly wing. At the edge of instinct luring, lancet of desire I’d unbared, plucked the flower on joyful swing, it saw my inside die unspared.

Brevity Muse - Cl
for you are my BREVITY MUSE, the deep metaphors i searched for- the rhythm to your heart i shan’t lose, (love, it’s your verses i adore) coalesced by the vows we swore under the autumn crimson hues- depth of my rhyme you did restore… for our bodies and souls did fuse _______________________________ 1.26.20 Oh-No A Twisted Char-Lay Poetry Contest Charles Messina...

Premium Member Spring Birds - Cl
Robins are a delight to see When winter snow is almost gone To see them chirp and bounce with glee And hear songbirds singing at dawn An eagle soars, mighty and brawn Flying, circling the sky so free Feeders full, hummingbirds are drawn Bird watching is joyous to me 1/23/20 Contest: Oh-No A Twisted Char-Lay Poetry Contest Sponsor: Charles Messina...

Premium Member Hair Today Shorn Tomorrow Cl
Sue loved to style her auburn hair, and adorn it with a cute bow.   Then cancer struck, life’s so unfair - treatment meant her long locks would go. She hoped in time new hair would grow, as baldness may cause folk to stare. Sue now wears a pretty bandeau, her cancer story I now share. Checked with how...

Premium Member Harmonious Flow Cl
On paths of frozen ice and snow With bitter cold air all around I just seek to know, where to go To make it work with what I found To walk quiet, without a sound Of cracking ice and things I know Snow piled in burdens by the pound Waiting for harmonious flow 1/21/20 Entry for Oh-no A Twisted Char-Lay Poetry Contest.

I've always been a simple man But all of that is long before I found her name is Mary Ann And she reads poems by the shore I have written poems galore - I'll write a sonnet in the sand Then she will see down in my core That I am a renaissance man 1-17-20 Contest:Oh-No A Twisted Char-Lay Sponsor: Charles Messina...
