Long Bests Poems

And no, it's not a bunny, or a cute little puppy dog, or even a tiger.
It's more like...

Love has us immeresed,
in an endless fathom.
Like tears that fall to the sea.
A symbol of loves' fleeting-

Between summit and sands,
of the Isle...

Four seasons ‘round Canada jays are found,
Perched in tree branches, safe and sound;

To disturb the silence, making known...

Its not about money, fashion or fame.
Invented one day by a guy named Webb

When rollerblading I threw out my back. 
A sidewalk bump sent me off the track. 
On the way home I had felt out of whack.

I'm noticing
you're not noticing

what you've already heard
with anticipation

within my balanced EarthTribal range
of listening
for sacred...

Believing in a world...

The rhythm was so pleasant

To gain more music from its branches Enjoying blues of flowering mind
A bird singing from Unknown branch

Coming into My Own As a Poet


It hit me today, with a poem of great 
beauty I wrote.
Assiduously avoided, naturally. 
(As I had expected.)
And that's as fine,  as fine can be!

It literally hit me over...

 Blissful peace; verses instability, violence, and disorder,
 harmonious relations intervene, wicked minded interloper;
 world's jactation spreads, amidst deflexion by war's aper,
 segmentation of life hosts, exemplifies mind's distemper.

If it's right, set your hormones on fire
No need to fight the temptation
Let out all of your sexual frustration
Don't hold back, let your imagination loose
Take your wild side...

Poets and contests are not a strange mix.
Though, winning or not, emotions play tricks.
We are competitors, really quite buff.

A trait for which medical science has found no cure.
