Dearest Dad

Since you passed away

we miss you more each and every day

you helped us through the good times and through the bad

the best friend any one could possibly of ever  had

you stood by us through thick and thin

no matter what we wanted to do

we may forget many things in our life time

but dearest dad we wont  ever forget you.


my dad was my best friend, His faith kept him strong, Just like Job whatever the world threw 
at him he bounced back even stronger than before, and although this is not a poem of 
faith, my dad in his own way showed me a glipms of our   father in Heaven the true loving 
father of us all, even when we make mistakes  he will still there no matter what he is waiting 
for us all. It's never too late to come home to the Lord he has his arms open wide to 
welcome you.

Premium Member The Rose

This is not a poem about a rose
Nor a poem about diligence and beauty
Today, I sit and stare at the walls
Walls    that bare the complexity of life
Every breath, every tear I shed in my room
Set out to pollinate every seed, every bud-
Life     once - was the perfection of everything
Now, water drips as I drown in my sentiments
       Sentiments that no longer hold meaning
I feel so empty now that you are gone.
 
This is not a poem about a rose,
Rather it may be I write about death
Death is a man with no face
A man who sits every night
Patiently,  he sits on the edge of everything
Waiting and waiting
For the thorn to prick the stem of who I am
Who I used to be  in hopes I end the suffering

Every night he sits at the bedside  
Watching and waiting 
As I gaze deep into the dark watery walls
I lost the strength and resilience in my eyes
Creating a dormancy that shuts out the light
In a place where darkness prunes itself another day
There and only there,
I draw the silhouettes where life once bloomed
The echoes of my heart still call out your name
A name that no longer exists by my side
Slowly musk withers into the air 
In remembrance,  you were once here
Perfection Gone   "And a rose is just a rose"

Premium Member Make It Your Own

Sometimes I take material that is not a poem
and then I rewrite it and make it my own.
Below is a FWD that I once reveived.
What follows after is how I turned it to poetry.

Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to the call. The house was very dark so the paramedic asked Kathleen, a 3-yr old girl to hold a flashlight high over her mommy so he could see while he helped deliver the baby. Very diligently, Kathleen did as she was asked. Heidi pushed and pushed and after a little while, Connor was born. The paramedic lifted him by his little feet and spanked him on his bottom. Connor began to cry. The paramedic then thanked Kathleen for her help and asked the wide-eyed 3-yr old what she thought about what she had just witnessed. Kathleen quickly responded, 'He shouldn't have crawled in there in the first place.......spank his butt again!"

The emergency call reached the paramedic. A baby was about to be born.
He could hardly see through his windshield, as he battled the raging storm.
A 3 year old girl greeted him at the doorway allowing him to enter her home.
She took him by the hand and said, "This way doctor man," 
and then led him to her Mommy's room.
It was a very dark night, 
so he asked the child to hold his flashlight
so he could assist the baby from leaving its mother's womb.
He held the baby by its legs and spanked its little bottom. 
The baby cried and a new life was born.
With great concern the paramedic asked the young child,
"How do you feel about what you just saw?"
"He should have never crawled up there in the first place," she said,
"You should spank him again once more."

The Northern Crown

The black earth just below the moss.
It's headiness held down.
On top a carpet green and soft
The comfort of a crown.

To walk is just a hop of heart
A bounce a joy away.
To feel it is to just relax
A comfort I'm to play.

A passing look, a fervent scene.
A tree-line standing tall.
Upon a hill; a mound of earth
A feeling that I call.

The Northern Star above the frost
to guide my lazy eye.
Where home is found and I am part
of never ending sky.

A walk between a ledge of trees
My compass fresh Pine air.
To come out in a swamp of dew
Reflections that I care.

My home a little cabin further.
Walls of racked up logs.
Out front a hound dog tied to feed
an appetite of hogs.

A smoke puff from a chimney top
A signal someone's home.
A maiden in an evening gown
A wife if not a poem.

My life in Northern Canada
has brand me with it's scent.
For those above it's parallel
No time's been better spent.

Phone Call From God

Ring...Ring

me) That's a strange area code....Yello!

God) Hello

me) Hello, who is this?

God) It's me God, don't you recognize my voice?

me) No...

God) Hmmm...that's what I thought.

me) What do you mean by...never mind, I was just getting ready to call you!

God) Ah hello it's me....God?

me) Oh yea, I guess there's no fooling you there.

God) Not really but don't think that people don't try! Haven't seen you around in a while...

me) Well you know I'm always thinking about you...most of the time. And I listen to Christian music...some of the time. Oh and I try to read inspirational books...when I have time.

God) Isn't that nice...Hey, how are the knees holding out?

me) My knees?

God) Yes your knees or more to the point...your prayer life.

me) My prayer life? Didn't I mention I'm always thinking...

God) Yea I got that, it's just the way things have been going lately I know your worried.

me) Your not kidding there!

God) Well that's why I called, to remind you I'm still in control and everything is going to work out according to my will. You do believe that don't you?

me) Yes I believe that.

me) You know your right!

God) Duh...I'm God!

A Day At Mother's

dear read...    stop
that's almost    a
palindrome    start     
    ...er my
father called 
            my mother
                   mother but i
 called my mother Mum
  also this is not a poem
              for mother's day but 
though written on
                     mother's day
please
 read the title as intended
simply to be a memory of
                  being at my
                                   Mum's
house one day when i was
  thirty one years 
            of age                 but
  this           
      is                       
                                      what
                                        was
going through my head
knowing that someday
i would write it down

i was in the
kitchen sauteing
onions in butter and
Mum was in a back room
in the back of her house when
from the stove suddenly a splatter

of butter now
turned to ghee
but still with the
fat floating on top
spat up and on to my
arm stopping all thoughts

as mentioned
above as well
as the wooden
spoon i was using
to saute the onions
in the butter now ghee

i caught myself but not
catching myself in time
also dropping the F bomb
in fact dropping the whole
nine yards when suddenly
the stampeding sound of

a single animal entered my
ears as suddenly as did my 
Mum and she slapped me
in the face and said, "Don't 
you ever use that kind of
language in this house ever

again!!!"           and that slap
took my 31 and turned me
to 13 once again back to
when i was a boy in the
kitchen cooking and said,
"Yes Mum."

Premium Member A Self Portrait

I am neither a star nor light
I am not bright, I am not shiny
Just a spark that cannot drive darkness
But I can let a blaze start

I am a reed, hollow with dents
A plaything or a trifle in many eyes
But with the touch of a maestro, 
Can produce sweet symphony

I am not a poem with a rhyme
Nor a carol that does chime
I am a jumble of words
If rearranged can become a song

I am a stone with pointed edges
Shapeless and lumpy, solid and rude
If chopped down and cut up
Can become a sculpted marvel

I am neither a giant nor a genius
I am not very smart or skillful
I am an ordinary human, blessed,
With a heart that can feel and heal

Thoughtfully shaped on God’s anvil,
In His eyes, I am a piece of priceless art 
In no way, shall I demean my worth
A masonry built by God’s divine hands

Not a Poem But a Thank You

Not A Poem But A Thank You

Hello All.  I'm sorry if I am late in responding to any review.  I truly want to take this time to thank you all for such generosity and grace.  Honestly.  Never do I take it lightly when someone enters my page.  With this being said, since joining almost two months now it has been an honor and privilege reading your work.  It is also wonderful being in the same membership.  The level of talent is marvelous and so are your poetic expressions.  Be proud of your work and style.

Please do not feel the need to respond to this as I know it isn't a poem or in any poetic fashion.  I just wanted to say thank you.

Have a wonderful holiday weekend.  To all those who celebrate and recognize Easter allow me to say Happy Easter.  May the Easter Bunny be good to you and find you.

Once again, I'm sorry for any late response and replies  I didn't want anyone to think I was being rude disrespectful or forgetful.  I will catch up with everything on Monday.

The Journey Less Travelled

From Pop Idol to American Idol, the Journey Across the Pond was Worth the Trip.


From the X Factor, Britain’s Got Talent to AGT, the Road has been long and Ever Winding.



Though while walking the streets of Lambeth, and playing in the school yard in Elstree seems like a distant Fond Memory.


You Spent long days at Radlett and later developed a keen intellect at Dover College.


From EMI to Fanfare Records you further developed your Musical Genius and Style at BMG and S Records.


Though I think that the role which will encapsulate the Rest of Your Life, and be Most Fulfilling came to Fruition on February 14, in 2014 with the birth of Your Son Eric.


I Read that you Broke your back, which I can only imagine is very painful.


I know that this is not a Poem, or very Artistic, but I wanted to write to say as a Music and Talent Fan, Thank you.


I Wish for you God’s Richest blessing in the future.


May his Grace, Love, Peace and Understanding abide with You Always.


God Bless,


Sincerely 


One of Many Fans

A Statement: Not a Poem

Hello friends and future friends. I hope my 
choice of my poetic form is totally absurd. 
I don't even know what an Epithalamium is; 
so if you are looking for this form, I'm sorry 
to disappoint. I haven't posted in awhile, and 
perhaps it may be a bit instead of me just 
blurting out my mind through my mouth. 
I just got vack from a recent trip to 
Cartagena, Colombia and have been 
writing a collection. 

I am going to title it "poems from a broard"; 
the broad in this case is mi Musa Melissa. 
(Maureen, Melissa said you are beautiful 
and kept saying "weeeeee" [your last comment]

Presently I am trying to organize poems that 
I wrote on my trip as well as a lot written in the 
airport waiting to reluctantly leave Cartagena.

Please por favor keep in mind that I would like 
to present this as if a book; but know only 10 
poems for a period of 24 hours.; so hang in 
there with me and I will start to share. 
Thanks to all the folks I have met here, 
and the folks I hope to meet. Blessings!!!
