Premium Member The One Who Invented Trick or Treat

Yes, I invented “trick or treat”
so you could fill your mouth with sweets.

Candy bars and lemon drops,
marshmallows and Tootsie Pops,
butterscotch and bubble gum —
hold out your hand, they’ll give you some.

Chocolate kisses, Jujubes too,
sourballs and jellybeans for you.
Have a cake, some cookies too —
take a couple, grab a few.

Peppermint sticks and Mary Janes,
licorice whips and candy canes.
Slurp some soda, munch some pie,
don’t let those M&Ms go by.

Chew that toffee, munch those treats,
get that caramel in your teeth.
Then come see me, I’ll be near —
I’m your friendly dentist, dear.

Premium Member SOLAR SYSTEM SURPRISE

New plane called PLANET GHETTO
Scientist didn’t expect and know nothing about
Telescopes had no effect in sighting
Mars said, “Don’t look here”
The Milky Way responded, “Don’t even come our way”
The Moon stated, “Don’t even think about it”
What do these planets know about Planet Ghetto that we don’t
I certainly won’t perpetuate
A planet that became a create
Planet Ghetto appeared out of nowhere in space
Not much to say
Don’t bring any Earth waste
Being new to the Solar System
In fact, all the planets are protesting that they don’t share the solar system with anyone
NASA says beware with care, and they must study more for sure
Planets have made history with stories
There are still some mysteries
Planet Ghetto certainly is a surprise
No one had any idea nor realize
Unknown element in the principle
Planet Ghetto distance far
You won’t even find any car
Don’t expect to look like Earth
Planet Ghetto being a new birth
No comparison to Earth.


Best is to be

Just do your best,
Ignore the rest,
Aim high,
You shall fly,
Be best pals,
Dudes and gals,
Don't roll eyes,
Be a surprise,
You best is to be,
Aim high, you shall see!

Premium Member sunrise surprise

rising on the sea 
watching the sun through the rain

Premium Member What Is Friendship POTD

friendship can be great
looking when will I find you
will that be today
are you now looking for me
will our search go on and on


there you stood looking
oh you came out of no where
what a big surprise
our friendship is a flower
fun and laughs are everywhere


our fun and laughs turn
it all goes so very wrong
hurt and pain from words
tears running like a river
why did our friendship go bad

Gotcha!

Tingly skies full of surprise oh how I love when with surmise,
the little rascal aims his dart as if it were, poetic art!

He conceals behind the blush of day,
nips in, then dashes back away
with grinning lips and silver bow,
he strikes before I even know.

A stranger smirk, I feel the spark—
my calm heart a blind bargain,
no shield, no plan, no grand excuse,
just twisted thoughts and love let loose.

Now here I am, without a clue…
when cupid's arrow aims for you, there isn't much that you can do!

Premium Member Tanka-Haiku Surprise

On a sunny day,
we went to get a dogie.
Driving the back roads,
Excitement was in the air.
Would our new pet be waiting?

We looked all over,
surprise ~ there sat my angel,
heaven had touched earth.

Caught By Surprise

Caught By Surprise

Not writing a poem for years is crazy work,
But she is my motivation.
Standing ovation.

Demanding no replacement of her kindness,
Her energy caught me by surprise,
But not blind sided.

I see HER.

She sees me freely with no judgment.
I love it.
I mean I love HER...

My thoughts of her are poems picked from the most loving poetry book in this section called "Kim". Not sold in stores.

Happy Sigh

Premium Member GOTCHA

"Tingly skies full of surprise oh how I love when with surmise, 
the little rascal aims his dart as if it were, poetic art!" 
When I am hit by this cute cupid's arrow,
I find myself writing about love and romance.
I will never fight it,
I must enjoy this feeling and write on.
When cupid's arrow aims for you, there isn't much that you can do!

Premium Member Late Winter Surprise

Heart-shaped box of chocolates, late Winter surprise.
See sailor, in a dark uniform, hiding his eyes.

She knows him now, all too well, every inch of him.
This sailor, in a dark uniform, hiding his eyes.

A straight and narrow arrow flew from Cupid’s bowstring.
Struck sailor, in a dark uniform, hiding his eyes.

He had to open them then - cause and effect of love.
This sailor, in a dark uniform, hiding his eyes.

She was unexpected, for his fancy was charming.
Grins sailor, in a dark uniform, hiding his eyes.

On the date set, another sailor came to make claim.
Shocked sailor, in a dark uniform, hiding his eyes.

Oh poor boy…poor, poor sailor boy was a contestant.
Watch sailor, in a dark uniform, hiding his eyes.

Wouldn’t you know it…yes…his heart, branded by a poet.
Her sailor, in a dark uniform, hiding his eyes.

Surprise

You are a surprise,  
And you can be the surprise  
In another person’s life -  
A light in their joy or strife.  

Better is one day in His House,  
Don’t rob what God has vowed to espouse.  
He is the everlasting Bread of Heaven,  
Sit still, let His peace be given.  

Feed on Him, till you want no more,  
Richer than banks are heaven's store.  
Raise your cup to Him in anticipation,  
Lift it up - in your secret place of adoration.  
 
Allow Him to surprise you indeed,  
With the miracles of what you need.  
He never fails, He never disappoints -  
His grace is strong, His radiance anoints!

Around the Next Turn

The sun my awakening
a strip of asphalt shimmers
off somewhere in Nebraska
hundreds of miles from home.

Sandhills seen for the first time
I look at them with eyes of a child
but my body aches
as life springs forth
from underground streams.

Center lines are being painted
an arduous day of work promised
it always arrives too soon
but serene skies stretch to endless horizons.

My co-workers and I follow each other 
to the meeting spot miles out of town
where we’ll ready ourselves for the assignment--
we’ve come from different stages in life,

I see a bison farm in the middle of nowhere
and must tell others about what I’ve seen

to the sound of nothingness at the spot we meet
and wispy clouds drift across the sky
such wonder shared, I feel it must be a story or poem.

At the end of the week, we say good-bye,

Premium Member Yellow A Breathless Color

"Yellow is a bright and fun color to enjoy." By Poet

Yellow is my husband's favorite color,
my fun surprise was going to cost more than a dollar.
We were dating and he was coming to see me,
I was dressing in all yellow looking like a big bee.
When he got off the airplane,
he said - you look breathless not like a plain Jane.
I knew I was not going to flee,
as he got down on one knee.
