There's a unique planet in space!
It's a veritable paradise!
Yet its residents degrade their base,
Carving out their own demise!
We have probed the visible skies
And seen stars and beautiful displays.
This has brought us to realise
That there's a unique planet in space!
In the solar system is where it lays.
Its distance from its sun is precise
For aiding life in multitudinous ways!
It's a veritable paradise!
You can make every kind of devise
From elements found in this place.
A better life man could realise
Yet they're degrading their base!
There's no seeking a water trace,
Which to space missions would be a prize.
Men beset the place with a malaise,
Carving out their own demise!
This home of vapor, water and ice,
That creates food from the sun's rays
Has residents who are fond of vice!
Peering deep into space portrays
That there's a unique planet!

Jack the Ripper has not mended his ways
Continuing search for unwary prey
This time around, his weapon is poison
Extinguishing lives of poor, his mission
‘The weak must perish’, Jack the Ripper says
Homeless vagrants at food bank, to God pray
Oblivious that blue skies have turned grey
Their food today, prepared by a demon
Jack the Ripper
Panic sets in as these weary souls sway
Each falls to the ground and there they do stay
Mass murder most foul, against God, treason
Yet the man who did it, not in prison
Criminal feels what he does is okay
Jack the Ripper

Panic at the food bank poetry contest
Sponsor: Kai Michael Neumann
Sky overhead, ground below, stance erect
Roots with brethren entwined, in the forest
Sequoia redwood tall, with roots far spread
United we all stand, being well bred
Helping each other, judging not merit
Immune to disease, though no one suspects
Fire resistant, no ash to lament
Purity vibrant, our lives thus far led
Sky overhead
Life span centuries, in bliss throb perfect
For Mother Earth, we have utmost respect
Sunlight our food, upon which we are fed
Useful we are, long after we are dead
Pristine presence, no desires to ferret
Sky overhead

If I were a ? Poetry contest

I will explain the word 'impaled'
this contest's challenge, Holy Grail
Though not as easy as you think
from this challenge I shall not shrink
So, here we go: Time to set sail
To pierce an object, that's impale
with a sharp stick: First you inhale
then stab that thing, try not to blink...
I will explain
Impale someone, you'll go to jail
but skewered shwarma's food upscale
Brutus' knife did Caesar hoodwink
yet shish-ke-bob's fine with a drink
be it cola, wine, or stout ale...
I will explain

Impaled Poetry Contest
Sponsor: Anthony Slausin
Dad I am here all through the day
Standing here just inches away
You want family by your side
Saying kids, the source of your pride
Somewhere outside they roll and play
Please go run out,show them the way
Before sun’s out and sky turns gray
I smile but tears are hard to hide
Dad I am here
As I pour medicine you say—
Hey nurse, bring me my girl today
She loves junk food, salty and fried
Your eyes become mushy and wide
Please God, show me to him, I pray
Dad I am here

~Thanksgiving ~
(Rondeau)
Lord, I thank you for everything
Living for you is a blessing
Thank you Lord for the good and bad
Thinking of you makes me real glad
I thank you for your forgiving
Lord, I thank you for everything
For family, friends, for living,
You give me joy when feeling sad
Lord, I thank you
For roof upon head, food giving
Thank you Lord for all your loving
You always help me when I'm sad
Thanks for eternal life I add
For all the Blessings You're sending
Lord, I thank you.

She rides a horse 'pon the merry-go-round
The decorated carousel endorse
Memories of long ago now astound
She rides a horse
Carousel music wind up tinkling sound
Sights, scents, food all pleasures reinforce
One enjoyable night forever now renowed
Long ago, short time together, love's course
In my aged mind those happy times rehearse
'Pon the carousel round and round and round
She rides a horse
I don't remember what form that this was...
Just guessing Rondeau..
Life is fun down on the farm
Though the work is often hard
Folks know how to turn on the charm
They raise their food in their yard!
Farmers feed the people on the boulevard
They never do anybody any harm
Farmers hold others in high regard
Your worries they will quickly disarm
You will quickly let down your guard
As they fill up your arm
With the food they raise in their own yard.
Joie de Vivre - isn’t life sweet,
especially when you add a treat
like a delicious patisserie,
crème glacée, éclairs, le pan de mie,
chocolat, and le tarte aux fruits?
Eat not just fiber, cheese and meat!
Though you should eat these happily,
eat also sweetly, mon petit!
Joie de vivre.
Just one more stanza I repeat
(and this is for your joy complete)
Do more than eat to live! Like me,
to life and sweet desserts say Oui!
And every day - Bon appetit!
Joie de vivre.
For those who do not know the French words (which from my understanding, nearly rhyme in French the way they are pronounced by Americans):
Joie de Vivre - Joy of Living
Patisserie (pah-tees-ree)- pastry
Crème Glacée - ice cream
Le pan de mie - sweet bread
Le tarte aux fruits (le-tart-oh-frweet)- the fruit tart (or pie)
Chocolat and Eclairs, like in English
Mon petit: My little or My boy
Oui! - Yes!
Bon appetit - Enjoy your meal!
For Cyndi MacMillan's
UN, DEUX, TROIS....OOH LA LA!!!!
Bagels and baguettes
Bap or fried bake,
The fruits of the flour
are easy to make
Chollah, chapatti,
Cinnamon bun.
These global delights,
make eating such fun.
Filled with Caribbean sweet meat
like Guava jam,
Scottish smoked salmon;
Or Danish roast ham.
Add a fresh fruit salad,
Some sparkling wine,
A candle, red roses and
you’re ready to dine.

A dog and cat
are not great pals, but I have seen
a dog and cat,
friends on the street. Imagine that!
These strays share food in times so lean.
How sweet when nothing comes between
a dog and cat!

For Dr. Ram's Rondelet Contest
Put down that coke
Write a check to help the hungry
Put down that coke
Death takes lives this is not a joke
Mother gives all, their agony
Grief doesn't wash, apathy
Put down that coke!

So many people don't have food to eat nor water to drink; be thankful for what you do have....
Dancing in mid-day sun, in Kansas heat,
was a land of grain tender and sweet.
Over to the east sparkling in the sun,
was piles of corn, picked and done.
Harvest went, along with winter meat.
Winter comes hard in backyard and street.
Not caring if there is enough food to eat,
Before long, winter will be won
Dancing in mid-day sun.
Wildlife hunkers low and travel fleet,
no fresh wet water but a solid sheet.
The earth returns from where it had begun,
Once again the children are having fun.
Playing long on tired hot feet
Dancing in mid-day sun.
