Premium Member spirit message

red cardinal hops onto tiny branch of lilac tree
it’s near dusk
at first, I thought he was a shadow creature
my eye caught a glimpse of his dark movements
his feathers are scarlet
he hops a bit, then flies off
a spirit message?
Mayhaps


God's message

God's message;
"It's hard for you to believe what you don't see,
I'm like the wind that blows to the tree.
I'm always by your side,
Yet you still find it difficult to confide".

Premium Member FLOTILLA

FLOTILLA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
her heart, once a crammed attic,
overflowing with yesterday’s dusty relics,
became a barren room.

each secret—a silent, fragile confession,
she scrawled on paper thin as skin,
slipped into the throat of antique glass.

a cardboard ark, ferrying her bottled truths,
down to the shore she walked,
where the sea sighs secrets of its own.

a flotilla of confessions and longing, 
a bobbing armada of regret,
pushed by the tide—away, away, away.

she raised her hands in farewell
releasing all her burdens,
their echoes fading on salty winds

Message To Mantis

To all the male members
of the praying mantis species
a word to the wise you guys
now pay attention to my theses
whether for fun you recreate
or to mate and procreate
it's something I really would not advocate
hold on tight to your pants
love at first sight is not romance
I don't care if you look
but never dare go so far
as to unhook her bra
and whatever you do don't lose your head
as before postcoital dysphoria sets in
the female will kill you dead
she'll make a meal of you
tear you limb from limb
and if you don't believe me
when did you last see our randy brother Jim?

Message

Time was the most important thing in the world, I know that now, so as I stare at the message I wish I never opened, I realised, if only I had left you on unseen, I would have had longer to peacefully think of what we could have been.

MESSAGE TO GHANAIANS

Ghanaians are beating 
The drum of shame
For Nigerians 
Which they will later dance to
Calling Nigerians in Ghana 
All sorts of names, due to some misunderstanding
Now they're promoting hate just because of mistakes.

Ghanaians are on the street 
Creating scenarios 
Nigerians the villains
Forgetting they triggered it
Forgetting what their Ghanaians 
Are doing to Nigerians as well
No country without a foreigner 
There are also foreigners here in Nigeria.

See Ghanaians on the streets pretending 
They're perfect and absolutely innocent 
Because of the acts and misconduct 
Of few Nigerians in Ghana 
Now they're protesting for disunity 
Your mind is the greatest treasure, work on it
If we can't unite and live in 
Oneness, peace and unity within ourselves 
Who or where else!?... Let love lead us.

Premium Member Cell Phones

These hand sized gadgets is something we use to communicate 
We use these devices to relate good news that can't wait
We take pictures and create memories of our experiences 
Also to record a conversation or video  criminal offenses
Many addictions have been created as technology evolves
Different social medias and games to keep everyone involved 
One phone seems to vary in cost from another
With apps such as FaceTime to help distant lovers
Those are the advantages but there's also disadvantages 
Those that causes you to put your neighbor in bandages. 
A conversation full of joy or an argument that's perplexed  
You end up taking someone's life while sending a message in a text
You can't drive and focus while someone is screaming in your ear
Attempting to do so is like jumping rope after having a few beers
Know when and how a cell phone should be used
A topic that this current generation has confused

Premium Member ADRIFT AT SEA

ADRIFT AT SEA*
sea-worn bottle, 
bobs on a digital tide.
inside, not paper brittle with salt,
but luminous lines of light,
coded in metaphors and rhyme.

message tossed
into the sea.
unknown sender,
no harbor designated, no destination
on any map.

it drifts, a lonely vessel,
across oceans of indifference,
until…
a seacoast appears,
unsummoned, 
unexpected.

my eyes, the sand.
my mind, the beach.
I pick it up,
this delicate thing,
uncorking the silence.

The words flow out,
a story whispered,
a feeling shared,
across lifetimes,
across the vacuity.

suddenly,
I am the address.
the recipient unknown,
FOUND.
the message delivered.
the poem, 
HOME. 

*Note: I posted this poem at Poetry Soup in June 2025 then deleted it (www.poetrysoup.com › poem › adrift_at_sea_1740391). This is my original poem and has not been plagiarized.  Also, this poem was recently published in Highland Park Poetry’s Anthology titled MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE. I am blessed.

Bitten by an Iscariot snake

Bitten by an Iscariot snake 
#blossommonyei 

I trusted you, we had our fun,  
Shared so much, thought we were one.  
But when I needed you the most,  
You turned away, just like a ghost.

It hurt so deep, I felt alone,  
Lessons learned, a heart of stone.  
Now I see who’s really true,  
I’ll be careful with friends like you.

Though pain is real, I’ll find my way,  
Stronger now, come what may.  
Betrayal stings, but I will rise,  
Building trust, with clearer eyes.

The Devil's message

"The Devil's message"
--BlossomMonyei--
I have made money a focal point
Ambition is all you'll chase
You'll work hard just to live soft
I'll weaken your faith, trusting is of no use.

 Beliefs differ 
I had divided the world into segments of religions.
The truth hidden, a wolf in sheep's clothing.
My deception lots will fall for.

Pleasure, Ignorance, Wealth, 
They'd stand in your way of knowing the truth.
Is there anyone that won't pay heed to these desires?
The world is mine and will stay under my devilish grin.

For the saved ones 
I have no power over.
But being in this world they're still in my cage.
Beware, the devil's message.

MESSAGE TO THE YOUTHS

If you want to go far in life
Reduce your circle
The people you share your dreams with
It's not about numbers, but loyalty 
Make a long table, helping others 
So you can be stable 
When ever you're not capable 
So you'll be able, to get where you want to be.


If you want to be
Liked by people 
Start pleasing people 
People pleasing is self denial 
No matter the quantity  of water
It can't fill up a basket 
Due to the  nature of a basket 
The wrong people will waste your efforts.

No firm tree without a root, 
No standard building without a foundation
Only God, family and true friends 
Knows how you survived 
All life threw at you
Stay focused. So you don't stay stuck, keep trying until you become successful.

Premium Member Message In A Bottle

Ship wrecks do happen
People get  stranded 
On a small island
Then build their shelters 
Make beds from what found

Search for their food
Then search for water
Find a bottle and cap
Find bark to write on
Sending a message

In a bottle to
Anyone to find
Hoping the bottle 
Will return to them
The wait could be long

Anyone to find
Hoping the bottle 
Will return to them
It could take months 
Months or years
For the message to be found
Or it could never be found 
Floating in water 
Unttil it is found

Message of Goodwill or The Goodwill Message

We are living in a world of sin
Injustice, Selfishness and Racism.
And on human affaris it appears nobody cares'
And degradation is such an abomination
Poltical Opression, Victimisation, Cheating And Bribery.
Repeating Animosity.
No Sharing And Caring,And No Loving or Giving. Why?
For You see Principles Today
Fast Slipping Away.
Only To Stay, Oh Lord!
We've Gotto Consider, Lord, JUSTICE as Our SAVIOUR.
The Ship Has Gotto be stilled,
Either By Force Or By Will
But you must first Pledge to be 
A Person of GOODWILL.
Even if They cheating you , Be Of Goodwill
Yes Be of Good will
Even Dey Exploiting you
You Must Still be of Goodwill.

The song for this is found on youtube under Lord Cam Message of Goodwill or Goodwill message.
