Premium Member A Quinzaine,

~a labor of love they say,
           is love the labor?
                   to prove truth?

Our castle was so special
A labor of love

Labor Of Love

Two rings for vow
Meet in altar
Once in lifetime.

At last past years
Had passed made fruit
Labor of love.

Patience lays egg
If you believe
Yield good result.

True love awaits
If your hope last
End of rainbow.

The Unappreciated Poet of the World

There are many ways to say it,
but shat is so vital for the thriving
of all life.

The dung beetle is the hard-working poet
of the world.

Every day it writes its labor of love
upon the hot sands,

Yet no one notices,
and nobody gives a shat anyway.


A Halo Goodbye



An alm-timed good deed
got evilly rewarded
The saintly gesture, labor of love
was given a
perfidious payment

Death by dissimulation
uttered a bullet cry
Good Samaritan intentions
was given a
hot metal, cold evil eye

A warm welcoming, kind-hearted try
was given a
glowing halo goodbye

Premium Member Amazing Grace

Rear Admiral “Amazing Grace” Hopper
To her colleagues quite the show stopper
She turned computers to household items
And now humans know how to control them

A counter-clockwise clock hung on her wall
To prove man’s mind is not so small
Always looking beyond and above
Her vision and efforts a labor of love

Premium Member My Mother Loves Washing Dishes

I could find nothing amusing or redeeming about washing dishes.
I watched my mother, loving it, and wondered about her sanity.
What is it about dish washing that you like? I finally asked.
It is a labor of love, it shows I care about my family, she said.
This was an idea that had not occurred to me ……..ever.
Now when I see her enjoying it, I am not as perplexed.

Premium Member POETIC GIGGING: Apropos Of My Hot Toddy

After a tired
labor of love day
got on the Trane
and after a few Miles
I reached Monk
later laying 
back travelling 
towards Sarah
and Nina 
and after
getting Dizzy
headed West
boarded Bird 
flying onto Art
leaving me
to ink
this poetic flow
I’m sharing with you
before my melatonin
MJQ disembark
to peacefully Cannonball 
deeply into
poetic gigging…

Stand and deliver! this new bundle for your life 
Never you knave, I’m a muse not some midwife 
Bring me warm water, and lots of clean towels 
Did you not hear, I use consonants and vowels 
Too late it’s coming, goodness feels like a tome
Not really, congratulations! it’s a bite size poem

Premium Member Finn Chose Wisely

Hank built the loveliest quirkiest cottage for his wife, Finn.
She had specific ideas, and incorporated each one in.
Everyone who saw it wanted one for themselves and asked.
But Finn said “no, this was a labor of love that Hank amassed.
No one else is getting a quirky cottage like mine, it’s one of a kind.”
We all loved this cottage and Hank; she had married a gold mind.

The British Working Classes

He wakes very morning
to trudge through his day
a labor of love
or just bills to pay?
it seems that forever
he's been burdened with debt
and retirement a time to reflect
or regret?
She awakes every morning
to labor all day
kids are in day care
there's really no choice
no other way
the bank accounts empty
and pay day seems so far away
I think that this government
has lost the plot
think of the people
who ain't got a lot.

Premium Member Michelangelos Dome

Michelangelo was seventy-one years young
when he began designing St Peter’s Basilica, Vatican’s Dome
Lying on scaffolds for hours a day, it was a labor of love
His final hurrah, a worthwhile sacrifice,

Millions of visitors have marveled at his works.
Each streak of paint was an experienced stroke of a master painter.
Michelangelo, the quintessential designer, working for hours
Bravo! He has left us the ultimate artistic masterpiece.

All That Read

these things that you write, vague and deep
fitting no one and yet all that read
inspiration, interpretation
as you write about life and needs

you told me once not to obsess
much inspires but it's never direct
I still read, but with a broader aspect
it is about you, when I reflect

these beautiful words written on a page
drawn from your heart and God above
experiences learned and thoughtfully penned
written emotion, a labor of love

Labor of Love, Infinite Grace

Labor of love, infinite Grace.

Eternal bliss, devine joy.

Power to save, devine works of faith.

Eternal salvation, Omnipotent One!


Fullness complete, encompassing light.

Sweet surrender, pathway of life.

Evolving love, wonder of wonders.

Hope desires, faithful One!


Gentle hands, leadership given.

Passionate father, forgiving forever.

Dwelling Grace,  A grand embrace.

Labor of love, infinite Grace.

A Labor of Love

I take you down and look you over,
you've seen better days. 
Not so young as you used to be,
and you smell musty. I lay you open
and begin my examination.
I take off your jacket.
In all honesty much of your language 
is extraneous, in need of editing. 
Simple is as simple does. 
You're green and moldy, 
and rough around the edges; 
you'll need a good rubbing with linseed oil.
I close your pages, 
and put you back on the shelf, 
a labor of love for another day.

Premium Member The Bouquet

It's a labor of love
Creating a wedding bouquet.
It has to be perfect 
For her wedding day.

I've done this before
For my daughters, so dear,
But this is a new one
For the spring of the year.

She's been my best friend
Since we were both teens,
So this one is special,
I know what it means.

For her special day,
This I can do.
The bouquet will be lovely
In soft cream and blue.

It's a labor of love
Creating a wedding bouquet.
It has to be perfect 
For her wedding day.

Busy Hands In the Sand

A young boy toddles with shovel and pail. His mother watches him fall to the sand. Laughter erupts on the wind like a sail blowing his toyboat to a distant land as water cascades over busy hands. His pint-sized sandcastle towers above the boy's imaginative stories of a king sitting on a fairy tale throne. The shoreline displays his labor of love where the sand and ocean are brightly sewn.
