Poem Of The Decade

Ugly Jerk is not the poem of the day, the poem of the decade

A Decade of You

Ten years ago,
I did not stumble into love,
I stepped into you,
slowly,
as one steps barefoot into morning light
knowing he will stay.

You did not arrive with thunder,
but with silence
that made everything else grow still.
You were never a spark,
you were a slow fire
that found the corners of my cold
and made them warm.

The way your eyes linger,
not asking for

A Decade of Birthday Lines

Balloons ascend, a vibrant, joyful hue,
Embraced by warmth, a day both fresh and new.
Radiant smiles, like sunbeams, are bright and clear,
Now memories bloom, banishing all fear.
All wishes whispered, on a gentle breeze,
Dreams take their flight, among the rustling trees.
Enchanting moments, laughter's sweet refrain,
Treasured memories, washing out all pain.
Time's gentle passage, a revelry's art,
Eternal happiness, a

Summer Never Lasts

what if what we had was temporary
a momentary glance of happiness
of freedom
of joy 
of reckless youth
a time of love and carelessness

maybe that was where our memory is supposed to stay


maybe it wasn’t meant to continue on into this decade.



Maybe the sun never rose up again after it set that summer.

A TALE OF A DECADE

As I meander 'neath bougainvillea's resplendent flare,
A lachrymose tear descends, delicate and rare.
It glides o'er my visage, where memories dwell -
Nostalgia pirouettes in an ephemeral spell. 

A fragile form, each breath a whispered plea,
Cracked like ice beneath a trembling sea,
Whiffs of solace levitating from amma's lap,
A delicate darling, like a rose dew on morning's nap.

Once

My Seventh Decade

As if startled awake
from fitfull sleep

Of dreams both cartoonish
Yet with meaning deep

My life having passed
as this very repose

A young woman
Now grand dame all as I dozed

For I must have been asleep
At the wheel

Alternately engaging
 disengaging at will

One eightying along I sped through my life  seventh decade now coming to pass

How will I cram in
All

Just judging myself

Just judging myself

I know it’s just a shame, 
that I waste my days, losing all my pride 
I push others aside, 
that affection can’t compare to those beautiful eyes 
I think of him, That voice and that grin 
And I am hooked right back and then, 
I’m wondering when he’ll be in my life again

That was Then, This is Now

Turn up the radio and ...
It's the same ol' situation, 
The same songs, same band
That raised my generation 

That was then, this is now
Nothing's changed but my age,
And four numbers, somehow
On a calendar's page ...

It happened again today 
In the store where I shopped,
In the restaurant, I heard it play
Proving the 80's never stopped 

That

A decade

What a roller coaster it has been
The ups and downs and the in-betweens
We laugh, we cry , we shout and scream
We walk, we run, we hope and we dream

We we're tested by times and it's rough
And moments when we thought of giving up
Though imperfect and at times full of mistery
I wouldn't change a thing in

An Old Year is Gone, So is Santa Claus

An old year is slowly winding down
Where every minute and second count
Don’t hold our breath, just count down
Gently and slowly. A new year, a new bout
Is coming down the aisle, while an old year
Is disappearing or evaporating in the air
An old year is gone, an old year is out
A brand new day is in, please

What Decade Is It

It seems we have traveled a very long way,
just to end up where we started from.
Still taking most from all,
and giving it all to some.
The incompetent march and all cry foul,
and say that soon their time will come.

The farmers all hate the factories,
for putting their women on the job.
The rich white men hated black men,
they

What Can You Do For Me?

People need sincerity, not false hope or rumors. People need security,
    not broken promises. What Can You Do For Me?  People need jobs,
    not unemployment: People need housing, not homelessness. 
    People need food, not starvation; What Can You Do for Me?

   

Deceased For a Decade

He was my dad but his life came to an end.
He died and I would never see him again.
He perished after months of receiving chemotherapy.
He had Leukemia and is buried in Sneedville, Tennessee.
He was a hard worker and he worked hard for many years.
Cancer made him become ill and he died just like I feared.
He

The Discontented Decade

Dustmen were dirty
Shoes had holes
Typewriters qwerty
Clothes were old
School was tough, kids were rough
Summers were always, quite cold

Three-day week
No power at night
Week after week another union strike
Nothing to do, so early to bed
Wake the next day to no loaves of bread

No central heating
Winters were freezing
No phone tweeting
Less coughing and sneezing
TV was great, watching films late
The Friday
