Congratulatory Poems

Fear and Distrust Are Dangerious

How can we have faith in Trump
and the possibility of his new VP
if he were to become President?
This is really bothering us about
fear and mistrust.
It is becoming a pure case of
politics between Democrats
and Republicans and females
and males.
Trump has gotten away with 
a lot of things that he was
not supposed to.
He has become his own fan
club supporting the home
team. When the home team
won everyone was happy and
congratulatory. When the home
team has lost, losers will only be
dissatisfied and skeptical.
We do have a mayoral versus
city manager type of government.
City Manager was designed to
take the place of politics which
a mayor represents.
What Benjamin Franklin said
was when we will have a
democracy keep and maintain
it or will lose it.
Listen to what voters have
to say and react accordingly.
You will win every time.
accordingly. 
either maintain and keep it or
will lose it in the dust.

A Surprise Gift On Teacher's Day

Neither boquet of roses
Nor a pack of chocolates
Nor a hand letter
Nor a congratulatory message
Nor a hug or a shake hand 
Nor a hi or hello greeting
But a bouquet of guava leaves
That a former student gives
To her teacher on Teacher's Day.

Poindexter felt Perfect Puffed and Pumped

Priscilla’s prissy poodle Poindexter was puffed and pumped.
Strutting his stuff, feeling perky, being perfumed and perfect.
His congratulatory self-speech stopped suddenly.
Who was this glamorous creature in his path?
“Do not be intimidated by fancy birds,” his owner said.
“Because she is beautiful, does not make you any less beautiful.”
Poindexter gave the fabulous creature a nod, and continued his walk.
Not feeling quite so luxurious or lovely now.

Om Ostrich

Om Ostrich inherited Uncle Hillard’s hat with the onyx jewel.
We were surprised for Om never followed any kind of rule.
He was Hillard’s favorite, of course, said great aunt Crown. 
Hillard was a wild man before my ways settled him way down. 

Om was pleased, he showed the hat to everyone he saw.
The donkey loved it, he interjected a congratulatory hee haw.
The sheep and the pig were not as excited, of course.
But Om got a wonderful neigh from his bestie, the horse.

Eulogy of Diamond Dee

Eulogy of Diamond Dee
We were all a bit FASCINATED by the COMPLACENT Diamond Dee.
She maneuvered us like puppets, and I mean all of us, not just some.
Her INVOLVEMENT with men and women was well known in Lee.
Mysterious INTRIGUE paraded with her, said more than one bum.

I am not terrific at IMAGERY but let me try to set the scene.
Evanescent jewels and sequins arrived from an INFATUATION.
Due to her pretending to be bullied by the POIGNANT and the mean.
She was the master of the criminal go-to skill of MANIPULATION.

One thing we all knew about Diamond Dee, and some spoke of it.
Her COMPLACENT attitude was nigh onto self-congratulatory.
Her eulogy was much like her obituary, full of laughter and a bit of wit.
For it was presided over by one of her ex-lovers, my Great Uncle Rory.

Connie's Kindness

Like you and I, she was acquainted
With loss and like "God Special Ones',
She lived to share her love with us.
On 62322, My reply to one of her congratulatory
comments was, "And you are amazingly kind. Thanks, Connie".

Solitude

I yearn to be productive
In enchanted solitude
Left alone to pen the words
My freedom to include
A state of true contentment
A sense of self control
To experience tranquility
Reclaim what darkness stole
To allow myself unbiased ease
No negative belief
No depressive infiltration
No egregious furtive thief
To bask in silent glory
No care to be disturbed
My precious time I cherish
My inner thoughts unheard
A moment to seal confidence
A letter to compose
A congratulatory statement
As I laze in sweet repose
Forget the outsides influence
It's fearfless harsh attempt
To drag me from my comfort zone
Preserve my mind unkempt
Luxuriate and propagate
The determined seeds I'd sown
Through trials and tribulations
I've learned and I have grown

Congratulatory To My Nephew's Wedding

(1)
Congratulations on your wedding.
Prepare for the next staging.
Believe in your tomorrow,
wherever you are heading.


(2)
Best wishes for your marriage!
The World will bring you courage.
Take a step and find your place,
that helps you for your voyage.

The Machiavellian

With honeyed comments, you absorb adulation in vain;
drinking it in like a congratulatory champagne. 

Down your nose, you smoothly cajole; 
Deft at choreographing leverage to reach a goal.

The effete man you put forth is cast in boorish airs -
Stealthily exuding to foil all players.

Irreproachable character, you claim in spades,
but to athwart interference you throw up blockades
 
Speaking in bitter tones, speeches full of lies suppressed -
churlishly angered with those that protest.

Idling

"Idling"



Cool cold froth
slides across their pages
they whirl their congratulatory comments
like pucks across ice crystal cut sharp and precise 
waiting for return compliments
basting their words with oily accomplishment
slick and to strict recipe
baking like fat turkeys 
with temperatures
mild and appetites easily 
assuaged

How does a person come to this?


They think of words and throw them
to the wolves like sticks
for return

Wolves will take their words 
strip all bones ragged of stories
bury them

and then silently,
without a backward glance

never return

(LadyLabyrinth/2019)




“Their pooled emotions wouldn’t fill a teaspoon.”

“They sicken of the calm who know the storm.”

“That would be a good thing for them to cut on my tombstone: 
Wherever she went, including here, it was against her better judgment.” 
Dot Parker

The Goblin and the Mirror

“Mirrors are liars” said a goblin,
As he perched upon my neck,
“What you see is in reverse,
A deception disguised in two glass specks.”

I scoffed at the goblin who pretends himself real,
Did I do acid and not even know?
For a fantasy upon my shoulders kneels,
Revealing to me what I should show.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Reveal to me the lie in my eyeball.
“What you see is what you get,”
It spat with furious phlegm, foul and wet.

I scoffed at the mirror who pretends itself alive,
What did I do to deserve such sights?
No beauty in the Beast in my mind of hives,
Stinging tensed shoulders and eyes without light.

The goblin grinned at the glass made for reflection,
And they each agreed in congratulatory glee,
As I stood dumbstruck in confused introspection,
At a fantasized creature and inanimate object celebrate the sorrow in me.

Castle On a Hill

There was a castle on a hill
It only took hours to build
Buckets and buckets of sand
Two pairs of children's hands

A vacant high spot on the beach
Just out of the low tides reach
Two kids, plastic shovels and pails
Construct a castle minus hammers and nails

The ground floor must be the driest
As water seeps down from the highest
A little shovelful here and there
Customized architectural repairs

A spectacular four story sight
The envy of Frank Lloyd Wright
Onlookers and passers by
Give congratulatory high fives

There's not much time to gloat
Changing tide is filling the moat
Once the water spills over the side
The sand will swim out with the tide

Encyclopaedia Of The World


While excavating information 
One website lead to another
And Whoa! I found Poetry Soup
Curiosity led me to register my name
I sent my first shweet verse for a competition
I sent some more for further competitions
A fortnight later I received congratulatory notes
For my placement in the competition
It created a world where I could be identified
Tears rolled down at the recognition by poetry lovers
Living across this huge globe but brought together
By a website of soupers sipping every soup
While connoisseurs evaluate their taste
More  congratulatory notes over the next four months
It taught me the value and worth of each souper
We  read different hearts and souls
At times unknowingly in a desire for friendship
Some get irked some misunderstand whereas
Some simply love and admire the emotions
Of people living in different continents and
Give their advice, mentor them, correct their flaws and
Continue being their silent guiding light 
Filaments of nature and attitudes to life
Become the encyclopaedias of the world in Poetry Soup
