Helen

How she wears yellow! Big
bright ear-ring like a personal
sun that dazzles 
a blue twinkle 
in the corner of her eye.


Helen Santmyer's Prairie Town

Laugh at this grey town,
Dust lies thick; ragged trees
Streets lost—prairie seas

Unsoftened majesty
Wide streets end—wide earth begins
Sun sets; full moon-rise

Helen of Troy

Her “face could launch a thousand ships”
It was love at first sight as I watched her strip
Till her camel toe
Began to show
And I realized she didn’t have lips!

She sailed in beauty late at night,
Over the seas, together, ready for a flight.
He kissed her hard, oh luscious lips.
She knew not she had launched a thousand ships.

If you're looking for credit,
from me you won't get it.
My credit manager is Helen Weight,
so if you're looking for credit, go to hell and wait.
...um, I mean go to Helen Weight.

Helen In the Garden

HELEN  IN  THE  GARDEN



Something’s  moving
In the grass green growth -
Meeting morning’s  sunny face.
My little girl’s growing -
She’s planted there,
Showing more roots today

Helen

Her hips move with every twist
Shimmering frame, lissome belly 
Slender and lithe, slithers like jelly
Looks so sweet on celluloid
A mischievous smile she carries
This Indian Cabaret dancer

Premium Member St Helen Watches Enviously

Joyful lively yellow daisies were hard at play
Not minding the wind on this spring-like Thursday
Mount Saint Helen in the distance, drab and gray
Watched enviously as the daisies danced so gay

Nobody Dies Forever Tribute To Carolyn Helen Devonshire

Let everyone be aware
of this prominent truth :
There is no eternal death,
no one dies forever!
If the body deteriorates,
the flesh of the spirit
it doesn't even putrefy in ground dust,
neither with time!

Helen Pattinson

I look after a lady named Helen

      Whom I bring roses by the gallon,

      They make her smile
     and feel better for a while.

      Now her room smells like the very best salon!

Helen

I like your wording, your thinking, your style,
But you make me hurt inside; albeit in a good way.
I ache to be in your company; my concentration is nil,
Just your presence makes me giddy,
But the hole in my heart, you definitely fill.

As If You Are Helen of Troy

As if you are Helen of Troy
You are such a nasty playboy

You wear a beautiful mask
From dusk to dawn dawn to dusk

You hurt me with Cupid’s arrow
My life is now full of sorrow

As if you are deaf and blind
You can’t hear and read my mind

Premium Member Helen of Troy, Revisited

Helen's was the face that launched a thousand ships - 
so wrote Christopher Marlow
to explain what spurred their haste to take that trip; 
but, I would like to ask him though,
this poet and playwright, wise and knowing - 
which way were they going?

Deaf and blind was Helen Keller,
Though she changed the world ,
Everybody respected her
for her each and every word

Helen Keller was deaf and blind 
when she came to the Earth,
So let us all remember her
on the day of her birth!

HELEN

Helen; the light everyone wishes to have

Her complete joy sways our emotions
Endless and infinite hope she portrays
Leaving no stone unturned 
Everyone with their habit, hers is unique
Never seen an angel? Meet her

Helen is indeed a rare useful treasure.

Premium Member Dance, For Helen

You, beautiful one,
Aware of mind's inner space,
But travelling, thrilling to movement.
Tiny jokes and masked meanings
The place you played.
You undid models 
Like a child making games, 
The barrier behind unvisited.
Hold up your arms 
And dance!
Death's not erased the past and
Is not the end of music.

St Helen Eruptions

Volcanoes erupts in
Three dissimilar ways

Spines on its hills
As gases run low

Lava down its slopes
Total destruction in its path

Fiery bursts of black ash
Burst through its mountain top

Ash fills the air with murky dust
Form miles away

Lava destroys neighboring life
Plants, Insects, animals, and people alike

Helen
©Ben Burton 5-11-15

A plane devoid of noises
Within a darkened cave
No words of consolation
Assuage the rants and raves

Awareness unattended
Has obfuscated will
But fluid through the fingers
Puts ink into the quill

She roars across forever
Four corners of the earth
The Alabama legend
Has made their voices heard

From the depth of the deepest ocean
to a mountain’s highest peak…
today’s blessing comes from Helen Keller…
who knows from whence she speaks..

And may we be blessed that in our life
Her words will play a part:

The best and most beautiful things in the world
cannot be seen or even touched
they must be felt with the heart.

An Ode To Carolyn Helen Devonshire

Though from this world she decided it was time to retire,
Her words will continue to inspire,
Even where there is no church spire.

And around the world others will never tire,
Of words of wisdom, from this Devonshire,
As  far away in NZ did she inspire.

She left us at the top of her game,
Passing without shame,
And leaving no words of blame.

Silent Screams

Aware
I do not stand still much
Mostly I wait in silence
Known gardener
Roses adorn my cape
Wavy chips and a cake
Timid chirps
Only quiet trust
She screams in silence
Her voice is still
Major energy report
Holy Holy Holy
Echoes of stone
Unaware of her anger
We walk toward the edge
Waves smash into our nets
Our catch is rare
It screams in silence

Premium Member Helen

Heaven-sent...my wife and best friend
Exuding uxorial elegance and grace
Lovely in every way, shape and form
Emanating within her, a radiant light
Natural beauty. A sweetheart of a human

Helen Of

The *****.

Mightier than the sword?
Flaccid ruler overseeing
an asylum of nuts.

The blade may cut and thrust,
yet an organ driven
by lust
can inflict a
deeper scar.

Kingdoms lost in battle,
which would ne'er have been fought.

Herds of women, 
Like cattle, 
strive to bed the King.
For a ring.

To be his wife,
which alas,
rhymes with
Strife.

Let battle commence.
Methinks a scabbard victory.

Premium Member Helen Tries Blind Dates

Helen’s blind date had told her about his watermelon car.
She thought he was kidding, but he had gone too far.
He arrived to pick her up and she laughed until she cried.
Blind date ended up leaving her there with her cousin Cyde.

He was a nutbucket, Clyde told her. Blind dates are bad.
The next guy she was set up with was a suggestion from her dad.
He arrived wearing a plate of spaghetti on his head.
Helen said, I think I had better meet people in person instead.
