Limerick

There's a path I want to see

As strong as the wave of the sea

Where comfort betides

And serenity abides

That path I want to see.

Premium Member Hindsight

Listen to poem:
Hindsight is foresight's foe
Heralding woe betides
Halting the hoodwinking
Haunting the present tense
Hanging regrets in caches
Hype, hope dashed by failures
Holding you back, abjure!

Premium Member Good To Go

Listen to poem:
It's all go to woe!
Besides, there's no woe betides!
As reigns let loose, 
the strides lengthen
and we say: 
"neigh, nay, nay" to "Whoa Up"
It's giddy giddy, G'day! 
Let's go! 
"Giddy up, Giddy up"!

Judith

the rain of that night,
the plans of that day...
her beauty stop the rain as it rains
me wet.

not seeing her could have been...
but the strength of love
true love betides the 
storm of thunder rains.

so i went in a rain
that her beauty stopped
and wet i arrived.

Premium Member Our Journey

As I thought upon the  trails of life I have trod
And the many winding roads so rough and hard
I was solaced and embraced by His Presence
And as He grew me close to His side, I once
Again realized that with Him I can ride the tides
Over the ocean wide or climb the mountain high
Through darkened caves on clouded days
And whatever betides, in Him I shall always hide
And forever abide

Premium Member Bring In

Listen to poem:
Bring in the din of children's cries
    the kin of family ties
    the chagrin of forgiven woe betides.
Let in the breeze of summer skies
    the wherein where laughter resides
    the grin of warm welcoming smiles.
Dial in the joys of compromises
    that the peacemaker devises
    to hide all conflicts with disguises.
Ring in the calls to claim the prizes.

'All In' for all is the call, 
which harmonizes.

Premium Member Sifting Sand Shadows

Listen to poem:
I sit here on the beach, seaside.
"Sifting sad shadows from the past."
Which like sand flats ebbing with tide,
Expose sadness, in blackness cast.

As I find ashes of loves died,
Sorting it all out, takes its toll.
Hands tremble, heart splits open wide,
Weighing the sorrows, drags on soul.

The shadows lengthen as day dies.
Soon to coalesce to black night.
I must get rid of woe betides,
Before I lose last rays of light.

Don'T Fake It If You Can'T Make It

Don't break anything if I let you in...
Don't lose everything if let you win...
Don't give it if you won't take it...
Don't fake it if you cannot make it...

Life is more than milk and honey...
Love cannot be bought with money...
Lend a helping hand to the needy...
Loss betides those who are greedy...

Don't be rash when you are angry...
Don't be slack when you are hungry...
Don't expect too much from anyone...
Don't tell a lie to please a loved one...

Premium Member A High Fivefold Dive

Listen to poem:
Count your fingers and toes!
It's five that drives betides!
For our minds can't juggle
More than five at once.
Can't grip, grasp sense - six.

How we sense and perceive,
Also comes in five flavors.
Touch, sight, smell, taste, hearing,
Which constrains, contorts our thoughts,
Into believing we know what's
Right, true, all so insightful!

But, why or why five?
Has ego, fear, doubt, desire
Succumbed to fingers and toes?
So we can't go further
Than a high fivefold dive?
