Short Benefactor Poems

Good deeds sinners do,
with a view to reach heaven,
bargain for a front row seat.


At an orphanage,
a donation is received;
the benefactor unknown....

Benefactor of our freedom

Continued strength re-born

Jocular jokester jetting past Jib.
Joyful juggernaut jousting in jest.
Benevolent benefactor beseeching baby’s bib.
Bequeathing beloved blue beret, belly button the best....

The Great Benefactor

Monsieur Louis Pasteur 
For depression found a cure.
He improved fermentation
Increasing boozing-activation.

Three colorful birds were dressed in their Sunday best.
They came parading and primping, out of one nest.
Their benefactor thought they looked lovely, naturally.
Glad now that she had invited these three for tea....

Thank you, special friend, whoever you are,

For the best gift I've got this year, so far,

Your generous heart is sure above par,

May God bless you! May you shine like a star!

"So long as we live in the mutiny of archaic order, there will be no lack of dispensation to the sorts of liberty that's lost under it's rule of exploitation, soley designed, to enslave the benefactor of a free-thinking mind."

I don't need the sun everyday
I need grey, I prefer rain, mist
fresh winds.
The sun is a harsh benefactor,
it coerces only to rule; demands
to be admired before it crowns itself
emperor of our every dependency.
Yet, when it is shielded
by the soft drapes of a less brazen light
we ungratefully call that -
bad weather....

Dependent


How long will you lamely follow
Determined to eat and to swallow?
Should you run away from toil,
Who will fill your pot with oil?

Not as dependents (mouth agape;
Greedy and garrulous as an ape),
But, as a benefactor in this land
Who, to toil, employs his hand-

Whose arm and back is trained
To badly twist but never sprained!

It is an unexpected treasure
 given freely at someone's pleasure
poems and poetry unbared
 enhanced by this gift we share
thank you seems so insufficient
 given by anonymous omniscient
thank you to the benefactor unknown
 I bow my head in gratitude prone.

To the generous person who gifted me a premium membership to the soup,
thank you and God bless....

The vagrant beggar in seeming drunken stupor
Clumsily staggers about hither and thither 
No one truly wishes to lessen his pain
Turning backs on him with disdain

Now and then a half hearted benefactor 
Presses into his hands unusable note in tatters
We watch from a distance, ebbing flame of conscience 
To glowing heart hardening resistance by our egos indifference

Maybe if I was a benefactor 
I would be still in lavender 
And if the nostrils of my mind could smell vanilla 
I would stream the internet to show everyone that I am a righteous fellow 
And burst of cinnamon to enter my mouth 
That sprout juices of pineapple 
In lavender wear or rhyme
 I would be celebrating it throughout all of sensual time
Ahh!!

The light that always cry,
When darkness is bright.
It is not so discipline,
But toss around by all factors.
The rays that from it emanate,
Did pleasant thrills to all animate.
But for the death of its benefactor,
The switcher does his pride lean.

It would have been,
To itself a Lord.
But the things of which it sought,
Wroth it vividly unseen.
This waning light is the light of our clan,
That had been murdered by their plan.

Advertising has us in it's wrappers
here's the bad stuff ~ here the clappers,
it seems the product needs the jabbers
like a potato chip ~ the grabber!

but for the quaintness of the blabbers
I could not focus ~ or react thus
now here's a cute phrase ~ DIPPLE DABBERS
they're not like "p r i n g l e s" ~

They're just "ADAPTERS"!



Note ~  Hi Mark Pringle (our poetic benefactor) Had to say something that could
separate the wimps from the "snappers!"...

Work is beauty
Work is reality:
Work is mode and not a load
Work is good: which we need for our daily food.
Work is grace and not at all a press!
As a lamp cannot burn without oil,
So a man without work will be spoilt.
Work is not a pain,
But a wonderful gain.
Dignity of labour should be considered by all.
By this there always will be joy, victory and never a fall.
Work is indeed a benefactor
Without which we would be left like a solicitor....

Horn Hairy Gorilla Limerick

We were drinking some sarsaparilla
Ran into Hun that they named Attila
Pretended he was a gorgeous man
From each country him they did ban
He had turned into a harry gorilla. 

Trump even played a part on the 
Ozzie and Harriet as a worthless
trash collector who never learned
how to use a compactor and also
was a poor actor who became
our President. We are supposed
to be the benefactor. Can you
imagine that.

my frozen tundra
stalagtite icicle
protected by snow

winter residue
her fantastic confidence
regally standing

solid and secure
overseeing the village
guarding the mountain

winter protects her
carefully keeps her secrets 
adding extra strength 

she enjoys brief reign
glistening in frozen truth
spying on others

a dazzling glow
many come to worship her
rever her coldness

wishing she could stay
a frosty benefactor 
winter creatures hide...

I: cherry blossoms 
wither in morning sun 
whither life is bound

II: rain washed
worn steps to temple
tight-fitting sandals

III: passersby drop coins
in dented singing bowl
gnarled fingers

IV: anamnesis 
details in kaleidoscope 
a raked zen garden 

V: the Geisha forgets
the words to the poem
celebrating life

VI: yellowed photograph
of ranked benefactor
caked white makeup

VII: crushed cherry blossoms
stained hem of kimono
asymmetric blotch

Love is the halo of my heart 
the curved bow of my steely dart
the signature of my hand write 
the diamond shine of my sunlight 

Love is my truest companion 
my hungering feast or famine 
my distressor, my dopamine 
my soul's benefactor & sheen

Love is both turbulence and calm
a hand offering, a peaceful alm 
a juxtaposition-sibling 
and a song thats ready to be sung 

Love is a bouquet of flowers, 
with the scent of April showers.
