Premium Member Dear Poetry

"Sometimes there are No feelings, just words that talk very loud." By Poet 

Come let me tell you a story, 
about a want to be writer. 
A young girl's notebook filled,
filled with her writings.
How a teacher put her and her writings down,
letting the class laugh at her work.
She knew she had something to say,
even if they did not believe in her.
She believed in herself,
even when the world was in doubt. 
She used ink as her paints for painting,
on her canvas called paper.
She learned about rhymes and limericks, 
along with verse, acrostic and more.
So many styles to choose from,
what was a girl to do?
Just write more for her readers,
telling stories in her poems.
She loved how her magical words,
seemed to go dancing across the paper.
When she found PoetrySoup,
she felt like she had come home.
Other writers to help her learn,
even correcting her from time to time.
Comments to inspire her,
bringing out her creativity and imagination.
A true writer writes from their heart,
never letting anyone stop them.

Jan the Supergirl of Poetry Soup

She is the super girl of poetry soup a cute 
who through her limericks renders us mute 
How can I resist a giggle when she writes 
or helps me to sully my new tights 
She is a lovely presence and I wish her well 
if anyone here objections it won't jell  
We are a site of beauty not one of snooty 
so shake out your pom pom, give a hooty 
Its Christmas a time for love words of essence 
Jan, I'm glad your here and that you got presence 
Lets give the girl a cheer today write a limerick 
for her that is funny one with kick, 

"FANCY SCHMANCY" 
One day I met a fancy schmancy girl named Jan 
and when it came to the funnies, oh how she ran 
like an underwear on fire 
yes, she's the girl for hire 
if you want poop in your underwear then read 
her crunchy lines, she leaves a laughter seed 

                       for all....

Premium Member Soliloquy

Hear what I say
A voice tells me;
I just obey
With choice set free.


I listen now
As urge greets surge;
I don't know how
Words blend and merge.


Each day I cite
Create new verse;
Soul styles clear writes
Mind just observes!


I don't know why
But I sit here;
Words come with sighs
Sad cheer strings near.


No need to try
To defy hint;
Words sing fine highs
In brand new mint.


Voice talks to me
In vivid waves;
Deep mystery
Comes forth to brave.


Do I make sense
In what I say?
A certain tense
Comes out to play.


I stand aside
To simply write
What surge of tide
Bids me to cite.


And at the end,
I simply stop;
No need to tend
Another drop!

Hooked and Addicted

He sat upon my knee     
At the tender age 
of three 
Completely and utterly 
mesmerized was he
His very first visit
to a London theatre 
He was hooked 
     He was addicted
        just like me

Now aged 25 
so many stars 
shine in his eyes
Each time we go 
‘tis truly a joyous occasion
For to watch live talent 
for us needs no persuasion

Our latest adventure
Just him 
    just me
to Wembley we go
us both for to see
    a man named Joe
    Japanese pianist is he
Writes music 
    for his orchestra
    grand piano he doth play
His music will stay with us 
    every night 
    and every day...

Cheers Grandpa Thoughts of Wisdom

Thoughts of wisdom.

Now grandpa was a guy
A man I held up high
Everything he told me
I knew it was no lie.

All those facts he told
While lying in his bed
Waiting for his God
To claim that he was dead.

I was twelve years old
As green as green can be
But Grandpa always said
That I could see and see.

The stories that he told,
His good one liners too
They opened up my mind
I knew that they were true.

Do you want to know
What he would converse?
Like that backward poet
He always writes inverse.

He would often say
“you are like me son,
Just like an acupuncture
A good jab well done!”

Did I know that camels
Could always find an oasis?
Like Bakers only trade a recipe
On a knead to know basis.

Sometimes you carry stress
Until you feel encumbered,
But just you watch this space
A calendars days are numbered.

There are those that seem quite lucky
But they bloody cheat.
Just you think of this
A boiled egg is hard to beat.

Never go for credit
No matter how well dressed,
For like the Exorcist
It will end up repossessed.

Why did the chicken cross the road?
It did cause a commotion,
The silly bird was oiled
A poultry in motion.

Oh, see at Xmas time
You think that time it pauses,
But watch those Santa’s helpers
There only subordinate little clauses.

As for shopping centres
I know that they do sprawl
But once you’ve  seen a big one,
I think you have seen a Mall

Never be a thief
Or take a quick backhander
You’ll  end up with twelve months
Just like a calendar.

Grandpa he liked baseball
And going to the gym
That baseballs getting bigger
Then the ball hit him!

When it  comes to writing
Don’t  get in a mess,
To write with broken pencil
It really is quite pointless.

His last conversation it really was profound
Before he climbed Gods steps,
He said “Son,
Go get my Gin and Schweppes,
Appreciate the time you have
It is only Manana,
For Time flies like an Arrow
But fruit flies like a Banana.

Cheers Grandpa.

Premium Member In Tenderness of Night- a Repost

In tenderness of night
Restore my faith in ME
Caress in gentle ways
That make my heartaches flee

In tenderness of night
Clothe my name in your need
Touch me in every place
That fantasy will feed

In tenderness of night
Mend all my broken dreams
With promise drenched kisses
That carry sunshine beams

In tenderness of night
Let traveling hands stake claim
Dancing minstrels of love
That banish all my shame

In tenderness of night
Breathe over me your love
As I lay helpless, bare
Passion’s eagle turned to dove

In tenderness of night
Love out of me despair
With words of noble knight
Confess my beauty fair

In tenderness of night
On body free your soul
Mating of mysteries
Fragmented lives made whole

In tenderness of night
Let time be ever still
Neath eyes of silver moon
Your essence in me fill

Naught else but you and I
In tenderness of night
Yet what transpires now
Brings forth dawn’s glorious light

Eileen Manassian

Premium Member Strange Birds

Are we sure the birds aren't watching us

reporting to a sultan bird who writes things down

have suspected for years

these mysterious flying creatures

that keep to themselves and makebelieve

they don't know English

just ask them the theory of relativity

and they flutter around and poop on people

there must be another reason why they exist

perhaps to wake us up with a pretty melody

screw that, they're just damn annoying

not that I'm concerned

lived an absolutely impeccable existence

one that's written about in manuals

although once I assisted a crow to cover up

a sadistic pecking incidence

where he attacked a little old lady out alone

what joy!!! 

please keep this to yourselves...

Premium Member They Are Noncompliant Messes

He is deemed least likely to succeed in kindergarten
Cannot follow in a line, is horrible at being redundant
Never fits in with the rest of the cookie dough
Distorted immediately after being cut into a circle
He cannot be educated the teacher says in a note to his mother
He is Thomas Edison

She is strangely odd, her professor writes.
She does not take direction well, is disrespectful, 
Is too strong willed, and will never be compliant.
She is so many modern women it is not funny
And they are all presidents of their own businesses now
I guess they could not do anything else

He is a mess; no home schooling.
No one can control him; he is a wild man.
He runs to Hollywood to star in movies.
No one has to tame him there.
He is a millionaire now.
But how can that be?
He did not finish school.
This does not compute.

Premium Member - How Should I Say Stop -

Do you have a golden pen
                                      One who is your best friend
                                        Almost like a magic pen
                                A pen to help you with difficult words
                                     and believe you at your word

                                     A pen who only want you well 
                                              and never says:
                                            "I can not tonight"
                                       A golden pen is a pen that
                                           only have positive ink

                                       That pen writes and writes
                                         then you forget yourself
                                            No tears nor doubt
                                      now the pen and I are a team

                                      Help....how should I say: STOP

Premium Member The Poet

Etching tales that run in trails along a parchment sheet
From feathered quill in trembling hand so longing now for sleep
As black ink drips down from the lip that rounds the pewter well
While a raven watches from his perch on the windowsill  

Fluttering flames dance above a pool of cooling wax
As the candle wanes away against a night of velvet black
Recalling long lost love again by the glow of candlelight
In a dreamlike state the poet writes… long into the night

Smouldering eyes upon the joy and sorrow of his life 
Alone but for his tears the poet writes and writes and writes
Until he finds her there upon the shore of Evermore
Standing at the foot of heaven’s door… his sweet Lenore

His name a whisper on her lips above the ocean roar
Until the well runs dry and the poet writes no more
A broken quill on tearstained parchment in the early dawn
But the poem he wrote that velvet night…still lives on and on.
