Driving home one day after hours of monotonous office work,
Saw a man sitting by the road; looked as one down on his luck.
Paid small notice to the figure; my lonely life was in a rut.
He was just another beggar holding out a shiny tin cup.
What a beautiful poem. God bless all the veterans: dead, alive, and the ones still fighting. To all of you, a proud salute, my prayers, and love.

I live with depravity,
Pressure like gravity.
Why can't they just see
I want to live happily?

Her eyes glowed with such ambition,
And her mouth spoke words of love and kindness.
She took pride in wandering;
She walked to find the places her heart longed for.
Wake up, beautiful.
Wake up from this tragedy.
Breathe,
Return to reality.
slow down when your world
is spinning too fast
when day and night are stuck in dusk
make sure to enjoy life
Catch your dream, don't let it go
'cause time is faster than you'll ever know.
No matter what, don't give up on what you believe.
When you give, you'll always receive.
Famous Poem
Shadows on the wall
Noises down the hall
Life doesn't frighten me at all
I think this is a really good poem because it teaches kids not to give up and hide in the shadows and actually express themselves.
I am worthy. There is nothing
that can or will happen today that
could convince me otherwise.
I know the screams sound like thunder
I promise we won't go under
I know the heart feels hollow
There will be blessings behind the shadow
Why can't we sleep forever
And live inside our dreams,
Sheltered from the heartbreak
That life can sometimes bring.
We are sorry for all that has happened.
It hurt us too,
And together we will mend
Your heart all the way through.
To be kind,
I must think.
To be selfless,
It's not about me.
So well done. It's an important message and I like your style. Very good job. Self-improvement and introspection can be tough jobs but well worth the effort.
Be like the willow that bends,
shade that it sends,
peace that it lends.

In this new year,
Let's talk more, chat less.
Let's call more, text less.
Let's meet more, Skype less.
We wait for what we long for.
We long for what we need.
Impatience and anxiety
Give root to errant deed,
At 70, I gave up reading poetry and attempting to write it. At 77, I was diagnosed with cancer and do not really know how long I have left. Instinctively, I turned back to poetry to ease the...
Even when you feel like a million scattered pieces,
you are still whole.
Even when you’re unsure of the path you’re walking,
you still have purpose.
Believe in yourself and you can achieve
Things you never thought possible.
Believe in yourself and you can discover
New talents hidden inside of you.
Believe is my favorite word from the Bible. Thank you for this. It reminded me today of people and equality. Remember next time you get down on your luck that each of us are equally as...
Life is a carousel, always going forward, never going back.
Existence is a hard thing to keep when you stop trying.
To live a life, you must want to live.
To want to live you must find a way.
Whether dancing the circle
or sitting in the pews,
the world is full of wonder
and knee-jerk news.
