Showing Poems

Showing Off Your City

Showing off your city
Guarantees a sense of pride
Will come bubbling to the surface
From where it is tucked inside.

For by sharing all the reasons
You have picked this place to stay,
You will reinforce, to you and others,
Why you feel that way. 

We all have different needs
We hope our homes will help fulfill
And by showing off the highlights,

What is it that showing me?

What is it that you are showing me?

I saw a scene on the news:
Someone “powerful”
has been disrespectful
to someone in need.

Many emotions came to the surface
for the first time
I didn’t get caught up.
I just watched.

What is it that you are showing me?
I want to go deeper
See behind the story
Can I see myself reflected?

All stories
are fractals
of my

Premium MemberKeeping up with the Joneses, who are weird

Because I'd been good for a very long while,
my parents decided to buy me a crocodile.
Then all the kids on the block
thought I really did rock.
Till two weeks later,
another kid’s parents decided to buy him an alligator!
Shoot! And now some kid’s braggin’
his parents are gonna buy him a Komodo dragon.
Oh, my God! This is way

Life Is Showing Who You Are

You can start doing
What you want 
At any time.
Don't bind yourself
With age and other things
Age is never the limit
Unless you make it
Difficult for yourself
Add smile to initiate
Others to say hi and hello
To people you meet each day
Life is showing who you are
In and out, showcasing to the world.

Premium MemberShowing me the universe

Arm-in-arm unspoken is the message received; neither of us is looking to disperse;
Standing parallel, hands held laced, with a kiss to yours averse
I'll look for days at a loss for simple ways to remember each smile you intersperse;
Though our dinner is done, can we still be spoons who can also converse?
I hold your head, and

Premium MemberSHOWING OFF ON THE SPRINGs ZEPHYR-CREST

     
     Dawn’s dewdrops form a breathtaking lake
for the sunrise fairy who joys in a swim.
     Far from shore, where problems well,
tears rise as fog, ferries in daffodil sun.

For the sunrise fairy who joys in a swim,

Premium MemberShowing Off Her Flag

Showing off her flag
Was the lady in white
She felt pride of course
In the soldiers that fight

Her own sacrifice was her brother Jim
She was not sure what battle he was fighting in
But WWI was in full swing, on this day
When she raised the flag yelling “hip hip hooray!”

Premium Memberis my butt showing

I hate to be crass, but is my butt showing?
It certainly was, all big, pink and glowing.
We lied to grandpa, as grandma asked us too.
He was so happy, he did the old soft shoe.

The nurse gave us a wink, a nod and a thumbs up.
They had been trying to get him to drink out of

The Showing

She came out of a shadow on the bedroom wall.
Phem men-ing
pheel ings,
phore-tellings,
wings under her pearlescent feet
raven hair swirling about her face.

You cannot see her face,
but there is a face within her face,
and you can see, it emerges and disappears,
eyes cannot catch sight of it, but
you recognize a similitude of yourself.

Aghast you deny any mote of

Showing the Way

A text I received with emojis
Exploding all over the screen
Was, to me, something new
But I had not a clue
How to replicate what I had seen.

My granddaughter sent me the message.
I asked her then just what to do.
She’s a pro at this stuff 
(Her eight years is enough)
So she showed me the tips that she knew.

When
