Short Commend Poems

Aye,

On the

Sands of time

I'll commend my

Dance, and return my

Dust ... to the great expanse....

I commend you to God                                                                                                                                                   and there is nothing you can do...

Once there was a floating nun
Aloft in the shimmering sun
She was observed by 2 fine priests
Who were more interested in feasts
Than see a nun who could ascend
There’s not much here I can commend...

I am drowning in a sea of black tongued regret
They whisper and scream
They live my life and tear it apart
They caise pain and suffering
Damage and fear
They're my demons
And so I commend you
To never say
Hello...

Happy Mother’s Day
To all the great moms
In the world
We know that you’re
Not perfect, but
We appreciate your best
Happy Mother’s Day
To all the men 
Who takes on a mother’s role
Knowing it’s not easy
We commend you...

When You Take Away Right of Way

When you take away right of way,
And also along with right to say,
If you amend,
We commend;
From rules people seem to stray.

Listen to poem:

Before I Say Goodnight
David J Walker

One last dream to dream 
Of all things dark and light
To weigh the days in
Reckoned phase
Before I say goodnight

One more gathering 
Discerned in second sight
Commend my soul  as I
Pay the toll
Before I say goodnight...

Don't leave me,
The dawn is too close,
Can't you see me, 
I have a theory to propose,
My dreams go forever,
My heart never stops,
To the end of the world,
Make the people drop,
And commend, 
My work,
That makes amends,
Stop the nonsense, 
Skip to the end,
The nightmare lives on,
Impossible to mend....

Soft soporific stillness in the night
Reclaims calm upon chaotic daylight.
Serene solitude takes a languid lead,
Reflecting on days’ rhythmic rapid beat.
My close companion, my favorite friend,
With you I wish demanding days to end.
To soothing spell of silence, I commend.

represented- projected reflected
from everywhichaway today is
everyday & what can i say i'm
working towards the end & my
reasons are in the air (i don't care)
but i'll defend, give you a spank
on the rear end. don't commend
the likes of me cuz you like me
continue to shock- startling
developments which i systematic
ally destroy....

She allows me to 
be me

sometimes I 
am fool...

sometimes an idiot...

...and even a complete
degenerate...

she puts up
with me being
me...

with me being me...

she loves me 
unconditionally...

day after day
unselfishly

I commend her...
her being her...
her spirit...
the love herself

herself being her
I worship......

WHAT I LOVE MOST ABOUT POETRY SOUP

What I love most about Poetry Soup
Are the friends I have in this august group
It's great to post a poem, you see
But the friends are always there for me

They commend me for my poetry
Always inspire and encourage me
They don't allow my spirit to droop
And I love my friends on Poetry Soup

I Salute the Veterans
By Franklin Price
11/8/2015

I salute the veterans
My hand is to my brow
Standing at attention
I recognize us now

My brothers and my sisters
Short timers, lifers, all
I commend us for our service
When our country came to call

We answered to our nation 
To protect an oath we gave
All of us gave something 
Some gave all unto the grave...

Into thy hands, I commend my fate, not heart
Only from my heart I can preserve my pride.
Into thy hands, only fate, not all of me part
My one and only precious heart is where I ride.
Into thy hands, my commended fate flourishes, rests
But my sole heart stays, blooms in my soul that nests.
Destiny is not fate without life's purpose
Purpose grows in heart and soul, fate sires purpose....

You stood by me through thick and thin.
In days when few comments, were coming in.

You saw in me a poet, possible.
That belief from you, made things, accessible.

Grand talent you are, so very unappreciated.
For you, I wish the best, so poetically educated.

Happy Birthday special friend.
Your fine, classical poetry I do commend!

With love and best wishes,
Panagiota

Night time casting shadows, all around the city
People hurry homeward, ready for the week-end
Fleeting lovers meeting, you say she looks pretty
Walking in the moonlight, something I do commend.

Starlight shining brightly, under a silver moon
Ocean breaking gently, lapping against the sand
Holding hands and strolling, two hearts singing in tune
Heartfelt loving romance, with my wife oh so grand...

Do me truly,

because I wish I never had,

hate me bizarre because weed doesn't hit far-

forstall and say 'your friend',

tell the whole world that it is spent-

traditionally in a send of the courageous pen!

Stake like the entrapment well-den-

procrastinate because they figured out your bend!

Flake and forget to amaze and fend-

gesturing is no amount of time you need to see yourself commend....

Silence is the ultimate'
In the praise of the Lord
It seeps' of servility
And trembles'
With remote authentic'
Unbothered, unchanged
Severalty
Fore Hee hath give me
So much,
For so long and so fully'
That well,
I commend thee
I give him all the praise
And the dominion
Over man fore it is his privy
Non-the-Less
I shall give unto him all of my
Abidance in being
Sanctimoniously entangled
Fore I am at his feet

Where all humane souls repent
of contempt
for our EgoSelf
against our EcoOthers

And celebrate,
or at least commend,
express gratitude for,
our inner enlightened
and empowered
co-passionate communication,
dialogue,
discernment

Bilaterally
and multiculturally informed
by
of
and for
global climate health
and polycultural wealth 
of resolving thought 
resonant wellness-felt 
restoring bipartisan prosperous peace....

(Choosing only one poet leaves me unhappy; thus, this is the best that I can do to commend fellow poets.)   

Blest are we poets, whose earnest and honest* hearts, beautify PS site.

*2Corinthians 13:7 Now I pray to God…; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest…

I commend the apple fallen on Newton’s head,
Man’s gravity realized with a Nature’s gift.
I rejoiced in the waves picked up by Marconi,
Human voice felt for its living presence.
I was thrilled by the tungsten glittered thro’ Edison,
Light shone across the darkness.
I flew with the flying machine of Wright Brothers,
Man’s proximity counted with knowledge of speed;
But I APPLAUD the Blessings from Above
Who hath built man in His Image....

I once lived in a realm
A kingdom as vast as an open farm
Wondering why I was offered a place so warm?
Sitting without a scepter, a head with no crown

I am just a humble servant
Not a king but one vagrant
I am honored to be an entrant
To be recognized as true servant

I have sailed many seas
Through the years lurched and subsist
Yours is the kingdom where I stand and exist
My life in your palm,  so kind and so warm...
  I commend, not resist!...

ANGELS DANCED

In evening gowns, with wispy wings, tenderly they twirled, whilst astral handkerchiefs conjoined them — the diamond disco ball, your first sun. Intricacy of threads unwind. Each angel reaps half to dab their eyes, as your born again between the moon and stars — this day began in a confined space. . . now seraphim commend you.

the sewing circle —
the silver and golden threads
waltzing through fingers

You would think that I would try
To be a little more cautious,

And I commend those who can.
Yet I can’t help that I get a little…
  Stupefied 
    Mystified 
      Completely Mesmerized
When you get that gaze in your eyes.

I know what that look means.
It’s a frequency that I can count on.
When you get that grin
And put your hands behind your head.
I know what words are forming in your mind
Every single time.

And this is why 
I hate you,
Mister Shrewd Eyes....

EBONY BROWN BRONZE WOMAN

Ebony luscious dark bombshell
You prevail, comet from the heavens
God's bronzed angel
Dark chocolate, your my brown candy
Brown woman
Leading out from the moon light
Standing in front of the sun 
Gradients shines bronze as the lights
Shining ever so bright
 You are by far brown clay
That God has made
I commend
you who're ebony brown bronze woman
