Wisest Poems


Premium MemberMy Wisest Friend

He asks no questions, nor answers, seeks.  
If he has opinions, he rarely speaks.
He does not write or have a bibliog,
my wisest friend, my dog.

Wisest Owl

This is meant to be a Fable

A wise owl was the smartest in the forest and had all the food it desired. A collage of nuts, berries, and small animals was stashed in his tree for later snacks. All the animals came to the owl for advice. One day, A squirrel came up to the owl with a question. “Owl, just what makes you think you’re the smartest in the land? How can one know truly unless they’ve seen the entire forest? You only answer to fools, so of course, you’ll seem smarter.” The owl was surprised by the question but nodded. “You’re right, squirrel. I’ll fulfil your request. I’ll go see the land and find out if I really am the smartest.” It stated. The squirrel quickly ran up the tree as soon as the owl left, laughing that he had tricked the wisest in the forest. But before he could celebrate with a feast, The owl swooped back and gobbled the squirrel whole.

Premium MemberThe Wisest Thing

The wisest thing I've ever heard the president of a company say is use the best idea wherever it comes from. Most companies have the will to win, few have the will to prepare to win. With every success  comes peace of mind knowing that we all did our best to become the best we are capable of becoming.  Seldom has it been known that any company that achieved anything did it without first overcoming adversity. Leadership is getting employees to believe in you.By always doing his or her best one becomes a natural leader just by example. You set an example.

The Wisest Way

Silver skies, green-silhouettes shown –
Artful enchantment God has sown.
Created wisely mysteries, known. 
Hidden hurts hear nature’s groan.

Gentle rains may refresh trees.
Freezing winds a life might seize.
Binding essence to falling leaves.
Shivers shape each life that flees.

Fate soon follows circumstance.
Modern travelers miss the sight.
A near uplifting lost in flight.
Speeds by like a flash of light.

Feeling favored some passers by
Pause and cheer until they die.
Feeling moments…on the fly.
Embracing nature amid its cry.

Let us remember every day.
“Replenish the earth” while on this stay.
Leave habitats for praying prey.
Enjoy our Father’s wisest way.

Mother's Wisest Words

It wasn't dad who giuded me
down my path when storms suddenly raged,
it was sweet mom indisputably...
I ran to those warm arms and felt very loved!


And these are some of mother's wisest words
I still reflect on, " Son, don't do foolish things...avoid them."
They warned me of dangers around blind corners...
and would I have been so safe, If I handn't heeded them?


Any other son would have shunned them with resentful ingratitude,
laughed hard at his mother and headed for the wrong road 
leading to disaster...as my buddies did, not foreseeing its magnitude;
yes, mother's wisest words were as shining as a warrior's sword!


No disgrace has ever befallen me by honoring them with dignity
and they never shook my confidence, but made me stronger;
how fortunate and happy I am to have heard them, never
surrendering them to foolishness, but refreshing their memory!
