gravest blessings,

who can eat when heart’s filled with grief?

             —all we can do

Premium Member Patriotism

In my opinion,
Patriotism
is one of our most gravest sins,
promoting nothing but separatism.
causing conflict and tension among many nations,
as opposed to practicing problem solving,
towards a peaceful global unification.

The three-letter word
we'd rather not hear
and many a soldier
  no longer holds dear

A word that means blood
and guts spilled for what
promising peace talks
  once open... now shut

A word that strikes fear
in the hearts of the bravest
plays Taps on trumpets
  for Tragedies gravest

Kindle of Love

Resounding echoes of mauve endowed gratified bliss to my gravest woe. Life’s heedless demands, I fear not- Though I’ve sought rain in weak moments, my hidden nature of love always kindles my empyrean soul. Human Nature Poetry Contest Edward Ibeh September 19, 2018

Premium Member Days of Zoom and Gloom

In these days of Zoom and Gloom
    'round every bend, crises loom

  Paranoid extremists holding sway
    all the streets, they are one-way

  My friend today's my foe tomorrow
    his infinitesimalist joy, my gravest sorrow  

  Trolls and losers spook the young
    bullies silence their tender tongues...

  Now, as for what is to be done
    Patience, please ~ Long live the Sun!

Premium Member Recyc'D

Just recycled laptop number four.
They lived three years each – no less, no more.
Tossing the poor things into a bin
Feels like committing the gravest sin.

Seems like dumping your best-ever friend,
With whom a million hours you did spend,
And about a trillion words did send.
Now it meets ignominious end.

But what in Heaven is one to do:
Bury it with toy it liked to chew?
Now I've another, shiny and new.
Never mind; we get recycled too.

El Gran Canon

She is not
lonely
But makes all
who smile upon her
— lonely indeed

She is not
mournful
But makes all 
who implore her
— cry like a child

She is not
boastful
But makes all
who look upon her
— beat on their chests

She is not
faithful
But makes all
who desire her
— pledge from the heart

She is not
vengeful
But to ever 
betray her
— the gravest of sins

She is not
quiet
But from the depths
of her emptiness
— silence is born
