You seem to write poems on occasion
Regardless of life or in what station;
More effort exert;
It won't hurt;
Write more poems while on vacation.

Key To Solitude

I lock the door
            to the world on occasion...
            but I don't recluse myself
            inside...
           I just concede myself refuge
            for a while... !

Evoke Versus Invoke and Provoke

Evoke Versus Invoke and Provoke

Sometimes we will on occasion invoke
With the final result being to evoke
Going against grain;
And being a big pain;
If opposed a person this will provoke.

Snakes In the Grass 2

In Ireland, the snakes caused quite a squawk;
they were green, pagan, of Druid stock       
        On occasion there came
        one St. Patrick by name
who drove out those snakes with a shamrock.

Modest and Like Living In Shack

Modest and Like Living In Shack

Can be modest and like living in a shack,
And what you give out  will receive back;
Grass would weed;
Never did need;
On occasion, ability to love you may lack.

Hidden Sorrow

Sorrow

On occasion I find the passing loss of something un-named
Something found and yet unbiddened
A some thing of the past or future or present I know not what
Yet sorrow it is
A feeling both sad and strange

Virgo Libra

Vibrant in life
Intelligent to boot
Rigid and lonely
Graceful but rude
Objective on occasion

Loving and true
Intriguing and mysterious
Balancing too
Romantic and charming
Argumentative and blue

Poet Writing Poetry

At the edge of life
in the center of the paper I write,
poetry on occasion drifts from the world
on occasions the center of attention...
It depends on the landscape, or the scene... !
Nota always que Live it, mostly we only
describe  things with abstract eyes.....!

Premium Member The Hunter and His Prey

I don't know that a poet
has life outside his poetry – 
Oh!--on occasion
he may run with an exterior
pack...but bones of their kills
soon draw him back; not a 
soul to be found, once all meat
stripped away – little real
difference between hunters
and their prey –

Premium Member The Ticklish Dragon

Once upon a time there was 
a ticklish dragon 

The knights would tickle his belly
And he would roll around in laughter

He would giggle and hoot 
And on occasion perform an embarrassing toot

He was such a well loved dragon
and there will never be another like him

Forget To Indent

Forget To Indent

Many poems wrote and may have meant
Along with email messages I have sent
And on occasion a few letters wrote
Around my computer sometimes tote
But as usual did forget to indent.

Do they still do indentation
Without a further explanation.

Speakers and writers on joy or great sorrow,

help human hearts deal with lies and the truth.

They offer an easing from etchings of tears,

and help on occasion to alleviate fears.

Their hand or a hug, love’s presence surround,

add warmth and compassion with silent sound.

Premium Member A Cat Pursuing Mice

A cat pursuing mice
seems never 
to think twice;
an owl swooping on prey
shows no thought 
of delay--

Then enters man--
expressing volition, 
a higher moral ground
of conscious
contrition--
yet kills for sport
as well as nutrition…

Oh! on occasion
for God
and country….

“He Gave As Good As He Got” Miracle Man 2/13/2024 On occasion, He confessed, he had been bested. But never, did he feel like he was a bruiser. He’s an optimist, and thinks his opponent just got "lucky". Only a pessimist, would view himself as a loser.

Premium Member Space Between Stars

wonder on occasion if they speak
Soft words whispered into soundless space
For if they do
I hear them, softly
In the sounds of moonlight
Unseen ripples kissing a shore
The applause of lightly clapping leaves
Flower petals giggling of a summer’s eve
The purr of distant need
Listening

Scars of Deceit

Reader, be warned by deep scars - deceit.
If you must fight to have your own way,
pause on occasion to consider, 
what do I want to know?

written for Liberum Divisa Poetry Contest by Gregory R. Barden
a four-line stanza from my earlier piece, With Regret written December 24, 2012

Love

Love, is a journey,
A well, travelled road,
It can be, light as air,
On occasion, a heavy load.
Love, can't be touched,
However, it can be felt,
It can be an easy game,
With the hand that's dealt.
Love, can hurt sometimes,
It can ease away the pain,
Turning the world upside down,
Time and time again.

On Occasion

A beautiful time, the slightest breeze 
We yearn to be more than lost 
Your charm so delightful, alluring
Warm to my every thought
The beauty of life's song 
Sings so sweet in our minds
On occasion our souls will play
Among the ruins within our hearts
Delighted in everyday life
Intimately peaceful with every breath
