Congratulate Poems

play park is now a dog park

Baby swing unused for eight years
Glider has sat dormant since 2019
Dual slides; who was the last one to slide down them?
I do not remember because it has been a while
I congratulate myself on making this play park into a dog park
The dogs use the underside of the slides for shade
They have dug holes around the pool
Now our little dog is making mud pies with his paws

How to Hunt Love

Throw an arrow, remember to sharpen it before it reaches it's end target 
Who is naïve enough to cross your parameters of closeness 
Capture this person whose mere sight you adore 
Aim at their legs, your prey will land face first on the floor 

Don't be scared, Don't you worry
This is how love is meant to be 
Or why would cupid, on his smooth back, so many bad intentions carry?

Or why would the heartbreakers or cheaters not worry about their actions
If they didn't know, love is never a synonym to passion, but pain 
To confusion and spiraling games 

Love was never stable enough to stay after an orgsm 
Love, they repeated over and over
Yet it felt like it had just slipped off their tongue

Bind love in ropes of promises, skim apart their soul
Listen to their heartbeat till the gushing of their bloody lies couldn't be ignored 
You'll know when the prey gets too weakened, it can't move
Just fall apart into broken shreds of a beautiful story 
Piece by piece, Complete the jigsaw pattern
That lasts people eternity, then you can congratulate yourself

You've caught your prey

24 Hour News - Euro 24

Can anyone follow the news anymore?
during Euro 2024,
after the UK elections,
when I want to know the latest selections,
In Gareth Southgate’s team,
In Sir Keir Starmer’s team,
with everyone analysing, prophesying,
what this or that might mean.

Even if we heard those songs before,
all the pundits are oh so cock-sure,
everyone thinks they know the score,
the truth is nobody ever knows,
until that final whistle blows.

Everyone’s riding their luck, their chance,
pick up a history book, take a glance,
they never write any of them in advance.

That 2-1 defeat hurt, but it was no disgrace,
after all England, still claimed second place,
so I will congratulate Spain,
and celebrate how far our team came,
give our manager and players, respect that's due,
that's the least, that anyone can do.

The news from the US, just got even worse,
it's time that I returned to my verse,
or read the latest on Port Talbot steel,
then go back to following Labour's New Deal.

fun time with dogs

dogs run in
run out
run in
run out

I congratulate myself
on finally propping the front door open
my husband gets grumpy
about the air conditioning
the idiocy of propping the door open

I just want it quiet now
wishing he would go back into his man cave

Unsolicited

The defense is automatic
Actions, autonomic
Devoted to the cause, charismatic
Emotions for all seasons, climatic

I weary,
I smile
I compliment, silently

I advise
I encourage
l congratulate, mutely

l feel
I break
l heal, repeatedly

I love
I pray
I hope, constantly

My feelings 
My devotion
My actions, unsolicited.

Not over the fact that I am already over you

Yeah I did not congratulate on your birthday and forgot how old you got, 
Yeah I did not made comments on the jacket you wore I always found beatifully,
Yeah I did not anymore admire your eyes and call them sun over ocean, 
Yeah I did not hype you up, 
Yeah I did not help you anymore out.

But I did once.
Because I cared of what you think.
Now I care of how I seem.

Even though I know I am trying to protect myself, 
while ignoring and distancing myself from you is hurting me much more too.

From the look of your eyes, I see scare.
You don't know how to ecounter me anymore.
So you always ask your friends.

You try to seem chill, by saying: ,,Give the sheet paper to her, she has a beautiful handwriting" , even though you know I won't answer you anymore.

When I got the sheet of paper, you would wait, even ages till I let my pencil slide and you wait for better 1 minute to add and still say: ,,thank you"

I am sorry I am acting this way, 
but I don't know what to say.
Since this day, 
were I tried, 
and you shut our conversation down that easily.
Were I couldn't even tell you ,,no", or see you suffer.

A False Combination

Sometimes I don't know you,
Other times I don't know me,
Sometimes, you are just a stranger crossing the sky's limit,
Other times, you are my dearest brethren.

You don't look beyond the surface,
My perceived height is nothing but a miracle,
You only know the skin-deep conscience,
I think of you as a divine arcade. 

I was so in my desired continent,
You were so in your purest delusion,
Now, where is your dream and my illusion?
Where do you belong in this scorched island?

I found you nowhere,
You reside in my flawless daydream,
Maybe you are just a honeycomb,
Perhaps you are nothing but a silkworm.

Once you have defined the beauty of a paradise,
I congratulate you on attaining your preferred location,
There is a lie in your desired destination,
I know your insight is nothing but a false combination.

Anaya's World

I’ve had enough!
It’s crazy!
Though time and again
I’ve tried.
My dear friend,
I’ve tried and sighed.
Alas, no shiny mirror
to congratulate you on
your World win.
You won’t see my comments,
trust me.
I'm proud for you and
I read and love your poetry!

Turn Envy the Green Eyed Monster to you can do this, You can

Envy the green eyed monster
can be harnessed to achieve a goal

I currently have a want for fitness
it's eluded while my life was on hold

So I am mustering up my health
and working on my stamina

And feeding up my ego
because in the end its chutzpah thats its anima

You have to attack with vigor
and have a plan you adjust along the way

You have to be single minded
and self congratulate to make it stay

For envy does not really serve
and it can actually deflate your cause

Because you don't ask for advice
and align with those who have achieved what you want

For those that have blazed those trails
can tell you their recipe

It may be the thing you can exactly do
or it may be an energetic zing

But use your emotional energy
to fuel your restless tide

And keep an open mind
and move ahead with pride

Turn Envy the Green Eyed Monster to you can do this!! You can!   - Artimus (C)  Susan Manley 3/11/24 8:43AM

What was their name again?

When I paint I will listen to my friends via the phone line.
I put them on speaker.
I rarely ever call them any other time.
Unless I am driving.
I have mastered the skill of throwing in pauses and sighs at the right time.
My “hmmm?”s “what’s” and “okay then”’s are semi-automtic.
I congratulate myself on getting by with this
until I ask “What was their name again?”
and they say “Jesus”.

June Bride

We sometimes congratulate ourselves
the moment of waking from a troubled dream;
it may be so the moment after death. ~Hawthorne

I finally found a man that grows fuchsias 
as pretty as the ones Grandma grew
when she was young ~
before age crumpled her body
and weariness etched the meaning of life.

June Bride is the name of the one I chose,
and its brilliant beauty fills the shady corner 
of my front porch;
it reminds me we are all espoused 
to the Shade~

and just as Grandma has entered the union,
so one day shall I.

In memory of Grace Haven, 1908-1998

The Rules of War

An old woman holds bloodied hands to her face
A child cries in the rubble
A mother rocks her mangled child
Children cling to the nothingness of fear
Assassins congratulate each other
Dancing beneath bloodied “flags”
Well-dressed politicians pontificate
Photographers “capture” the moment
Knowing – “there are no rules of war”

My Friend Once Sighed

My friend once sighed
That he watches planes fly by
And wonders where they’re going. 

The world’s tempo beats on. 
I, too, prefer to stop along
The way and watch a small thing. 

I congratulate the weed
That grew from a wayside seed
And survives in the sidewalk’s crack. 

I notice when raindrops descend
That the roads shine iridescent
Then dry again to a flat black. 

I observe a bird’s funny walk –
Watching its head bob and cock – 
Such a comedian!

I sit aside the freeway by the river
To watch busy cars drive there –
So calm I am.

Followed Instincts To Become Me

i appreciate the real me for living her truth
for showing me hobbies I no longer want to do
giving me passions that became obsessive
introducing me to poetry, cartooning, drawing

I congratulate the real me for successfully eliminating jobs
All together I walked away from twenty-eight that were not for me
I left some before noon the first day
following my instincts out the door, before the W2’s were created

I revere myself for knowing how much I need people
how attached I am to playing with children
for bringing dogs, cats, squirrels, birds and raccoons to my yard
my heart, my life, my dreams, my ideas, my stories are full
