My Guardian Angel

Smudge of dirt
upon his cheek.
Scratch on his left knee.
Curly hair
a tangled mess.
Reminding me
~ of me.
Poorest  soul~
who drew the lot:
My guardian to be!


There Once Was An Old Man Named Benny

There once was an 
old man named 
Benny.
Who never in life 
saw a penny.
When once saw him 
dollar,
he fainted in a hollar.
O poorest! the old 
man named Benny.

Premium Member The Heir To a Large Fortune

Why am I so poor
Oh, you aren't
You have 
A family
A house
A car
An occupation
Feelings and love 
And there are so many
Poorer 
And poorest 
You haven't encountered

Trump Poorest President

Trump Poorest President

You talking about someone being bad,
Sure is poorest President we ever had;
He lacked ability;
Approaching senility;
We sure are glad that he is not our dad.

The Humble Man

The Humble man is happy with what he has. 
He does not envy any other man.
A humble man gets his humility from God,
So he will be rich in Heaven even if he is poor on this cursed Earth.

The poorest man can be the richest in humility.

Darkest poorest land
Where power and pride blinds men
sickness dwells and steal
Where is that candle that lights?
A star to spring crumb of life...

Who Am I

Who Am I ?
I am many. I come from the rich and the poorest of families.
I sleep in mud ,the rain and snow. I eat when I can and where I can.
I only carry a rifle to protect those I am asked to. I ask nothing in return.
I do so because I am proud to love  my country. For what it stands for.
I am an American solder and I will die for you.

When the Tables Have Turned

The sky touches the ground. 

                                       The poorest wears the crown. 


                        The worlds richest, now begging for heavenly riches.
                                        
                                    What and who is glorified on earth,

                                         but not glorified in heaven.

Reason To Live

Sliced and bleeding,
my heartr stay's open.
Cut by the hands of fate.
But no matter how deep,
it stays open to all.
From the richest bastard,
to the poorest hobo.
My heart hear's their story,
and the slice deepens.
For the comfort of the others, their happiness and joy.
I allow myself to bleed.
For with no joy in the world,
we have no reason to live.

Premium Member The Fallen

The Fallen By: Tom Wright 1-28-2008 Oh, who am I that a man would die On some foreign field therein to lie; From sense of duty the fallen went Their crimson flow of life was spent. Some say that only our poorest go Those without jobs running to and fro; While only our country’s best is sought Its through this act freedom is bought.

Pretty Prostitute

Bring me Cherry, she's got the look.
Sell the man what he already took.
Cherry hates herself as she does her duties.
Crying supposedly for fulfillment of fantasy,
But truly her anguish is at full capacity.
She trusts no man -  She's had the poorest man; the rich man and his comrades, too.
The words too familiar to Crying Cherry - Give us Cherry, the pretty prostitute.

Prosperity Milking Cow of Good

Milking cow of good
What   good 
For humanity 
Is good
 For economy 
What good 
for his mother
Isn't good
 For the child?!
Take care of your people
 People 
Will take care of you
Prosperity 
 of sheepherder 
Is not having 
Hundred sheep
As a richest
 Of commune  
But if a poorest
 Of commune 
Having hundred sheep
Milking cow of good
In prosperity
For good

I Am

I AM a woman of status of personal of class.
I AM a woman of tranquility found only in the deepest seas.
I AM charity found in the poorest of homes.
I AM love wrapped up in a heart full of giving.
I AM serenity that one seeks only in the wilderness of th amazon forest.
I AM determination, a driving force on the highest peaks of the tallest mountain.
I AM unique.
I AM ME!!

The Life I Behold

The buzzing of the bees I call
The chirping of the birds I saw
The meowing of the dying cat
All this are all I saw and sat

Why on earth do they exist?
For ages such question can't resist
The blindness of the poorest bat
All this are all I saw and sat

My heart sings the song to all
Who has a  butterfly on thy wall
Who never takes life sacrosant
Bet life will take you just alike

Premium Member A Single Act of Love

A single pebble,
dropped into calm waters,
I watched the ripples grow.

The sound could only be a treble,
it's still heard across many waters,
by sailors, even as they row.

I cease to be a rebel,
like clay in the hands of master potters,
I appoint you the baker and I'll be your dough

With your love so strong, I tremble,
though among the poorest of paupers,
an eagle I've become, instead of a crow.

Poetry Soup

I dip my spoon into poetry soup,
never knowing what I will find,
a cute haiku or riveting rhyme,
something surely to thrill my mind.
Friendly people, willing to praise,
even the poorest lines I write,
some fresh friends to chat these days,
more to add here, I think I might.
It’s not as if I love each poem,
but there’s always something to chew,
so through the meal I eagerly comb,
for offerings both lively and new.

Friends

Richer then poorest peasant more powerful then the wealthiest king. I consider myself luckier than anything. And, because of that I wouldn't trade any of my wonderful friends for anything. Through thick and thin they have been there through it all, never failing in their support. Giving guidance and advice wether it was welcome or not. So no matter the reason I would accept no else in the world but my wonderful friends.

Drinking In Sorrow

The man in the isolated bar
Had come in a dust-engulfed car
From a destination, very far
Like the far-flung star:
Via routes  of  more sand and less tar.
Now, drinking to be calm,
The stuff, a believed balm
His cup plastered to his palm
Not likely to occasion him any harm…
It’d been the poorest harvest in his farm!
A drinking in sorrow 
By one bound to borrow,
Certain that this life is hollow
And it’s best of tracks, not one to follow.

Premium Member Please Stop Asking Me Why

Just can't reason out
Why 
But with a little bit 
Gratefulness and satisfaction
Will do
We're renting a room here 
We're sharing the earth here 
We're searching treasures here
We're sharing the riches here
Though I'm not the richest
I'm not the poorest
Though I'm  not the wisest
I'm not the most stubborn
Though I'm not the luckiest man
I still can see kindness on the face of God
Though I may not reach the heaven 
I'm not walking towards hell

Premium Member Hunger

HUNGER

I have no boundaries…
I have an unusual equanimity;
The equality I possess is extraordinary.
The world over, I have no chosen pity;
Like death, I practice an unusual democracy.
Matters not to me who and where you may be;
I’m there in every city, state, or distant country.
There will always be a place for the likes of me;
I’ve survived in the best and poorest family.
I’m as old as time—still here ticking too;
Hey, get to do what you need to do.

Hello In the Poorest Tone

To the man who makes us moan
“Hello” in the poorest tone:
Your mean boss too strong to fight
He’ll defeat you ‘The Too Light,’
An old child’s watchful father
On coarse games it takes farther,
Mother who loathes your girlfriend;
Merely meets her, sees a fiend!
Does she want to break your heart,
Over you run a big cart?
“Good Day” in the tiniest voice;
The birds know it’s not your choice!

We forgive them, when they’ve dead
And now relax to eat bread.

Who Am I

I am open hearted and closed minded
I am as stubborn as they come but easy as they go
I am rich in thought yet poor in judgment
I am of the highest degree and the poorest intention
I am walking forward but looking backwards
I am on task swerving off the road
I am up to the challenge but down on my luck
I am the tortes and the hare
I am going to take life a bit slower
and live even faster
I am who i am
and if you ask who i am
I will say that I am
ME.....

Premium Member Of All the Sights I've Seen

     I’ve traveled the world by air and by sea
        Seen what many aren’t privileged to see

    From heinous acts of terror to country-wide starvation
        From the richest of rich to the poorest of nations

    Seen the beauty of a shoreline warmed by a red sun
        A homing pigeon fly thousands of miles on his annual ‘home run’ 

    Yet of all the sights I’ve seen, at the top stands just one
        ~ The candles in the chapel lit, evening service begun

Premium Member We Are In Love

'O, reason not the need! Our basest beggars
Are in the the poorest thing superfluous.
Allow not nature more than Nature needs,
Man's life is cheap as beast's!'
                                  ~ King Lear, Act 2, Scene 4


The truth is simple
We are in love
What need we
   creamsicle sunrises
   or pink turtledoves

Our hearts beat as one
As each day is run
Wherefore wish for
   magenta sunsets
   or gossamer nets

Love's in our thoughts
   ~ Our needs are naught
