Long Friendliest Poems

He has the biggest heart.

He enjoys doing things for other people

Just because it’s the right thing to do, and

Knowing he made someone happy makes him happy too.

He’ll do whatever he can to satisfy

Everyone around him.

As real as it gets
This can not be nixed
No more if's

Had to flip the script
With an occasional blip
On my shoulder is no chip

But I still can't satisfy this itch
It's gone beyond getting rich
A simple niche
Or...

A funny thing happened to me just the other day.
The friendliest cat came to my door wanting to play.
He was meowing like crazy, peering in through the screen,
As if calling to someone it’d been a...

Alice lay reflecting on the adventures she had
The characters she met there - good and bad
The lessons she learned in Wonderland,
The tea party that wasn't so grand...
Once again she began to ponder
What about life outside...

and one of the best things you can be-
A friend is a living treasure, in which you must save,
if you have one, you have the...

He's of a bright yellow and auburn color,
and Autumn leaves match his feathers well;
what a gorgeous canary stands on my window-sill...
and I call him the friendliest, most talented warbler!


Next door, there are heartless and crazy...

Street and book smart
With a good heart
To make an impact I took part

This ain't a haiku
Why are you so worried about what I do
I'm nothing like you
Often I've been stabbed in the back and lied...

I went surfing on the Internet in the year Two Thousand Five
When I chanced on Poetry Soup and paused there for a bit.
I read some of the poetry and posted some of mine,
Then turned away...

It was like yesterday when dear little Sally was only aged eight..
That I remembered for she had wanted a little doggy for a friend..

Aw, Josh the neighbour has just have...

Nerd, geek, loser, shy and sweet
The friendliest girl you'll ever meet
But don't have a lot of friends
It is real, not pretend
That sometimes I get lonely
Wishing that others would only
Accept me for who I am
Then maybe...

This very night for him is the friendliest
For shadowy darkness is at its most potent, 
With no sound apart from that of total silence
And the air is thick with the sense of suspense.
Within his own...

Italy has awesome snow-capped Alps,
breathtaking sceneries that emit sighs;
how majestic are the rocky Dolomites,
how pretty are the undulating flowers!

Italy is the country of many wonders,
a unique place, a birthplace of muses; 
meet the friendliest people...

My poem is dedicated to Linda-Marie: The Sweetheart of Poetry Soup...
it's my token of gratitude for her precious friendship and endless kindness.



We thought she had disappeared without traces;
it's not like her...her trails are made of...

Flirtation is a game many of us like to play
It’s a way of showing someone that I like you in the friendliest of ways 
But some play too rough and end up hurting those who...

Our beloved America! 
        
We've loved you always and honored you,
Your values the best, your laws the just.

Driftwood on the water's surface
Slowly splintering apart
A kiss of a violent wave
As rain begins to fall

The eyes see so much
But they see nothing without hands
Without touch
Everything is an illusion

Life is fake and real
Fakes are the...

Hello today how are you having a wonderful day,
Sun shining you stunning having a wonderful day,
The clouds so clear blue ocean flying away.

The breeze so chill mellow relax summer,
Only May does she call her brother...

Don’t the dog mind 
Or to it be rather kind
With no plans to you bite 
Nor attempt another act not right.

Don’t scratches on its fluffy coat try,
Remembering your no less fluffy pillow on which you’d...

Predictable advice, the only kind that’s ever given
I mean, is it true? Does time really heal all wounds?
Because my wounds are still covered in scabs,
Cracking around the edges
And I’m still waiting for time to come...

I pass a doorman daily
When I’m finishing my walk.
He calls out, “How you doing, ma’am?”
But we don’t really talk.

Of course, I say good morning
And perhaps a word or two
Is exchanged about the weather;
More than that,...

I wish for a lonelier world out there
Just so I wouldn’t feel so alone
Life to be... forever ain’t fair
For even a self... you wouldn’t forever know

Would you dare to know yourself?
Perhaps better for friends to...

Senior living excellent and refined.

Blessed days of appreciation,
The Christmas tree stood tall in the hall.

Decorated with beautiful lights and decorations,
The cafe has a welcome Christmas appearance.

Last year had just met you about this time
Now have dozens of friends, a very long line

It stretches far and wide all over the globe
What a wonderful way to travel life's road

You poets are amazing...

Shall I compare you to my driving test? 
Although you seemed to be the friendliest,
I was nervous when I had met you first. 
It felt awkward, like I was unrehearsed. 

I’d watched my mom and...
