Ode To a Cup

How cunning you are trapping liquids
Hold life giving substance or refreshment
How I beseech you after a hard day
Without you I might die!

Premium Member Ladybug's Refreshment

One 
pure dew
drop rests on
a tall blade of
grass occupied by 
a ladybug,
who takes a
dainty
sip.

Refreshment

She, in looking to sate her desires,
Bade me come to quench her summer fires.
The treat white and dreamy
On her tongue was creamy.
Ice cream man, I’ll come as she requires.

Music

If music be the spice of life, sing on . . . 
If music be refreshment for the soul, sing on . . . 
If music be our prayer to God alone, sing on . . .
Sing gloriously on!

A Stranger

There in a teacup a stranger:
an idea to be entertained,
an alien to understand 
from a far away plantation.
Picked for me at a distant moment,
a sign in my cup to respect
the one who has sent refreshment.

A Pomegranate

Juicy red rubies
Glint in fleshy covering
Soon to be devoured.

My pin pricks each seed 
Scarlet liquid spurts once pressed
Oozing with goodness.
 
The sweetest flavour
Such succulent refreshment 
Dancing on my tongue.

Storm

Let us say there are voices
telling us, something far beyond
let us say there are echoes
still chattering the contemporary
who may know but they are:-
so bold a human's
may be is refreshment or
may be is amusement
the more you step in
the overwhelming suffusion.

I Am Me

12th June 1979 
JAMAICA 

I am the liquid in my tears
And the refreshment in my glass of water
I am the song I sing 
And the meaning of a poem
I am the place I stand
And I am a helping hand
I am tears of joy
I am joy in grief
I am a dewdrop upon a leaf
I – am – me

Dew

Drops from heaven, sprinkled
    delicately by God
      directly on flowers
        disappearing during
      daytime under sun rays
    designed for natural
delight and refreshment.

Springtime

Rose buds slowly open
up their petals,
as they embrace the morning rain.

Rivers burst with new energy,
as they carry refreshment
and renewed life with them.

Mountains get a new, green dressing
from trees and grass.

The smell of rain
enchants my mind with wonder,
and eagerness to dance
in the rain.

It is springtime!

Total Ablution

washing of body
                                       if done with dirty water
                                        there's no refreshment

                                            Total ablution
                                   means cleaning all kinds of dirt
                                       from  body mind heart

Cuts

Cuts 
It smells fresh and bloody like a new refreshment
It tastes like a new beginning that ends short
It sounds like screams for help and cries that no one hears till the end
It feels like fire to the skin,like a punishment for doing nothing but you
It looks like the start of something to end
Cuts are symphony of what life can do to you

Pretty Rain

Pretty Rain



Rose water 
Pretty rain 
Crisp refreshment
Sweet nectarous bloom 
A mild, potent fume
A graceful river flow
A breath of life
Floating delicate feathers 
Skies darker than blue
Sun of vibrant yellow hue
Rain maketh a bed in the earth 
For its heart to age and cultivate

Cheers Hs

enhanced refreshment
bubbles at the surface burst
carbonation fizz

the fluid’s magic 
virtue is revealed at last
bubbles of hidden gas

spontaneously 
perform a brief dance in glass
like droplets through air

they don’t forever
come from the depths of your drink
once then vanish

a mystery to be traced
a delight you cannot taste

I Fell Asleep

It was so pretty
The fresh countryside in bloom
The daffodils out

We drove in the sun
We stopped for some refreshment
We were having fun

On the way back home
Lulling vibrations caught me
I soon fell asleep

Just for a minute
I swear it was only that!
He thought I was rude

Taking advantage
The lemon cake and coffee
Now sour and luke warm

Ode To Tea

There's a knock at the door so I'd best put the kettle on,
Whoever it is will be wanting a brew,
None of your foreign muck, Lapsang or Cinnamon.
Only the finest from Yorkshire will do.

Dreamy and Steamy it solves all your problems,
Whatever the question, the answer is tea.
Liquid refreshment prepared in an instant.
Nothing comes close to a good Rosy Lee.

What Is Life

Life is.........
An opportunity use it
A gift accept it
A struggle fight it
Painful endure it
A puzzle solve it
A duty perform it
A game play it
A code decipher it 
An automobile ride it
A mystery unfold it
A refreshment enjoy it 
A sorrow overcome it
A promise fulfil it
A decision take it
A tragedy face it
A challenge meet it
A seed sow it 
A journey complete it.

Thirst

As the panting deer sups
from the stream of water,
filled up refreshed and
restored. 

I hope that I to
can find that refreshment
in this life. 

I find plenty fresh 
water every day, though it 
escapes me. I'm still dry
inside, what is this thirst?

How do I quench it? Where
do I find living water? Point 
me in the right direction to
change my life.
