flowers dispensing their fruit
fruit distributing their seeds

Ancient as the wind Weathered like an old fence board he rocks in his chair Dispensing wisdom when asked Stories when you care to sit

Premium Member Hospital Visit

Listen to poem:
tic toc
the ticking 
of the clock

steel blue
resounding
thru and thru

roll call
the long walk
down the hall

white coats
dispensing
antidotes

Dusk descends, discreetly disassembling Dawn. Dew drips down, dispensing dispersible drops. (Lanterne) Mar. 11, 2019 Light Up The Page 2 Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Joseph May

Your Ardour

Who adjourns me
in this backlight story
Who will call the wolf
to dance in her captivity ?
Willow wisp dispensing hollowness
espied on fields of grey

The World's a stage
disembark at your own peril
Pontificate
your ardour
anoints us well


Hafiz Translation

Dispensing Keys
by Hafiz
translation by Michael R. Burch

The imbecile
constructs cages 
for everyone he knows,
while the sage
(who has to duck his head
whenever the moon glows)
keeps dispensing keys 
all night long
to the beautiful, rowdy,
prison gang.

Premium Member Of Strings and Wind




Of Strings and Wind 

As the embers fades
There emerges a throbbing pain
The then jostling crowd 
Befuddled with many words
Now swallowed in shallow graves
Ebbing expectation 
Of men of words
Amused by the enticing wind 
Dismay at the broken strings
Dispensing scattered rhythm

Premium Member Drenching Me In Your Rain-

all pouring rain falls falls down on me dispensing your solid dew drops ~ falling on me cold with tears from Angels crying falling on me soaked ~ and wet my body stain my body drenched and in dew wetness spent 5/1/22 Written by James Edward Lee Sr. 2022©

Premium Member Nurses

Nurses are caregivers, patient, and kind: dispensing hope and boundless compassion. Professionals and Angels combined: nurses are caregivers, patient, and kind: They're the concept of empathy defined: smiling when smiling seems out of fashion. Nurses are caregivers, patient, and kind: dispensing hope and boundless compassion.

The Moonlight Shining

Through threaded clouds a misty light protruded beamingly
As if to answer roll-call a misty light so seemingly

A cataclysmic display of exuberance dispensing a joyous light
Am I correct or wrong even in this vivid spectacular at night

The moon plays her chords with a happy smile to display
Her superiority in height never needing to say

The End.

Rose

ROSE

Here I am at break of dawn
Just me, my rod and my friend fawn
who stares at me as he did before
he knows I’ll leave with just my lore
I lost my Rose a year ago
and spend my thoughts in deep compose
dispensing with my time of woes
and time is wilting like a rose

The Poet Who Did Not Know It

A knife in the pen

Dispensing blood's inks

A shroud of mind

In each cell thinks

The sentence is endless

Each thought is perturbed

The notion of freedom

Becomes more disturbed

Fire the match to the torch to the castle

Instead use a cap, a gown, and a tassel

Such children's toys

Deserve to be broken

They are tools of destruction

Like words never spoken

Premium Member Mirage


A mirage 
Reflecting another path 
Showcasing another life 
Man to man
A timeless wonder
Ravaging the mind 
Distorting thoughts and persons
Transcending sages 
Traversing phases

Life, a treacherous haven 
Selling tenuous dreams 
Whispering delirious melodies
Slithering into nooks and crannies 
Branching far and wide
Dispensing the message 
Selling the vision

Premium Member Autumn's Slender-

so is autumns dawn crossing over horizon deep in it's path dull ~ lit lights orange bright dispensing shadows of hues horizontal views ~ falls autumns trees waves in the autumn breeze so blown colors view orange ~ hues completely drained containment of yellows, reds browns, aqua shades

The Night Peddler

Escaping through a window,
he mounts a silver skeleton.
Flying downhill, dispensing power
through straining ligaments.
His heroic calves squeezing light
into cone-shaped yellow beams
Then uphill, the counter-attack
of implacable night.
The boy speeds through
sleeping streets,
cape flowing, eye-mask
unseen, essential though
for a peddle-powered hero
who patrols
by the glow of a dynamo.

Premium Member Looking Back

Through the years
You look back
And realize
How very few people
Loved you
Unconditionally
The fact is
So few are
Even capable of it
And as we age
Though many become
Crusty and stale
Others choose to be
Mellow and warm
How beautiful to see
People being kind freely
With their childlike smile
Dispensing happiness
Like Halloween candy
Unconditionally

Premium Member Those Rebel Poets

Remember all those rebel poets
    and their bizarre ways
  How they spooked their stodgy elders
    with contra-poetic displays

  Dispensing with meter and flow, accent and rhyme
    penning metaphor-less, image-free lines
  Treating verse as a curse and a sonnet much worse
    vulgarities popping up like landmines..

  Well, it's gotten worse instead of better
    ~ Just read a poem without letters

An Ideal Father

An Ideal Father
Dr. James E. Martin
©June, 2014

Faithful to lead as God directs,
	Fearful if failure God detects.
Alert to danger along the way,
	Attentive to rightly God’s will obey.
Tearful if children go astray,
	Thankful if in god’s way they stay.
Heartily encouraging through every trial,
	Helpfully teaching all the while.
Eager in his duties to advance,
	Engaged in righteous, faithful stance.
Reaching out to those in need,
	Rightly dispensing God’s life-giving seed.

Premium Member Pretenders

Pretenders By; Miracle man 6/14/2020 At birth God gave each, a soul and a voice, but when it comes to voice, we divagate. How we see it's use HE has made our choice, some make bad choices, or equivocate. In today’s climate many voice their whines, causing division while dispensing pain. Completely ignoring God’s set guidelines, as great pretenders too often we feign. Psalm 160:6 “Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.”
