An Angel Visits the Earth
An angel sent to visit us on Earth,
The realm of bliss to this of grinding woe;
What must she think to dwell in love's sad dearth?
But angels need not think, for all they know.
Perhaps she knows the meaning of it all,
And softly beats her wings to sooth our cries;
Perhaps she knows that mortal crises fall,
And all

Will Visits the Zoo
William and I went to visit the zoo.
A big sprawling zoo exceedingly grand
We saw lions and tigers, some red kangaroo,
Cute mini monkeys from a far distant land,
And an ostrich who hid his head in the sand.
Past the wild horses on flat open ground
A wide green pasture beneath the blue skies
The wonders of wonders was there

Spirit Visits
At first spirit visits during your evening dreams
If you are receptive, they may come during the day.
They show up as glimpses, blips, swirls, birds and butterflies.
In photos, they come across as streaks, orbs, and smears.
These celestial visitors are here for one reason.
To show us that love exists beyond the veil.

Visits From the Fey
furiously frolicking fey do not visit everyone
some empaths hear their giggles
others sense their lively antics
few humans see them
the ones I know bring a fragrance with them
I am clairsentient
aware more than others
clairaudient too; I hear their giggles
I cannot fathom life without them
some of the nonbelievers would not believe me
but they are here, in the forms of

No Visits No Clue
They sit in their office with no clue,
About what to do,
About those who are blue,
When they should be putting on more than one shoe,
And going down the stairs two by two,
To see what is happening from a street point of view,
Before making decisions that will turn more people blue.
Only when they visit people who are

Heavenly Orb Visits Forest
she brought light to the forest
it arrived in pops of turquoise, pinks and oranges
excited oaks, elms, and firs glowed with excitement
she was the ultimate orb, sent from heaven,
to give hope to those who had been sacrificed and buried here
their souls leapt with joy when she arrived

Visits Have Their Hours
You can’t visit during working hours
And along take exposed sweets and flowers!
Why do we meet plain virulent showers
On persons who’d hurt the working hours?
Heads would at rule-breaking callers glower,
Red anger permit to reach its tower.
Lover of cake you can’t calm with flour;
He might not leave you long in his bower.
If the price to pay was

Why Santa Rarely Visits Mauritania
Mauritania is a country to which I don't often go
'cos my name is Santa ~ Ho, ho, ho!
90% of its territory is in the Sahara Desert
to survive the heat, I'd have to remove my shirt
Which, no doubt, would cause a commotion

The Bard Visits 2023
Awakening with heart and mind a-spin,
methought midst some psychotic malady.
"What hellish afterlife am I now in"?
Yon passerby said "2023".
Eyes fixed on "mobile phones" with no regret,
here, plays are viewed at home on a "TV",
events viewed from afar by "internet",
and almost no one reading poetry.
In thund'rous flight, huge metal birds (bizarre!)
at heights and speeds not for

Santa Visits Ukraine
Why Santa hurries to visit Ukraine?
He knows the people there are in great pain.
He feels the consequences,
Of Putin's crooked senses;
He grasps Ukraine will fix Putin again...!

Thank You Potd Visits
I
I want to honor Jesus
in my life, my words
I fail - every day
I AM forgiven anyway
Honoring Him I change
Through Poetry
Of the Day (POTD)
Immanuel!

So many new and familiar faces
Of Poets and Poetry visited
My little mountain
Inspired by Brother Hamid
Who speaks of shedding
Blood (and Word?)
For humanity
III
This is a new day (via POTD):
So many sentiments shared
In Hope,

I Do Not Like Hospital Visits
"Damn, do I really have to go? Do I?"
That's my thought bubble, every time.
I don't know what it is about hospital visits;
Like many, if not all, I hate it like I do cockroaches.
There's
