The Joker is Blind

Blindness is very common
Particularly with views
And those with myopic vision
Well, they are excused.

Obviously they're unaware
Of sane platitudes
Their philosophies they share
With some attitude!

Like a doctor who explains
How to repair a plane
Blind and myopic men
Are intellectually insane.

A myriad views laid out
Analyzed, they're not logical-
It makes one want to shout
'You are nothing but comical! '

On second thought, however
It makes the net really fun
For this blind myopic joker
Brings laughs to everyone.

Example

What we feed to the children
In words, actions, and example
Will later form them in the end
Into better or bitter people.

The attitudes and views we give
Our children will readily observe
Into vessels they are thus received
These things of life they absorb.

Our many words and our little ways
They will influence and they will mold
As we see the youth's passing days
We reproduce the children we now hold.

So with care and with much diligence
Let us all take heed what we say
And with greater watchfulness hence
Guard our thoughts and actions today.

'We teach what we know,
we reproduce what we are.'

Communication

Communication is touching
Another with sincerity
Not just with verbal teaching
Conversing absently.
It is the human spirit
That reaches forth with care
Words so laden with it
In love and knowledge share.
Crossing space and distance
Communication frees
It is the golden chance
For friendship and for peace.

Blind Guides

There were two blind men who were walking down a street,
The first blind man said to the other, 'I'll lead you, follow me'
While the second shook his head, 'No, halfway we meet-
You lead me the first street, the second, it'll be me.'

So with walking sticks both blind men plodded on
Together hand in hand, albeit quite slowly,
Then soon a building wall they chanced upon
Each man groped around, finding its identity.

The first blind man said, 'I think it's an elephant
Let us try move it and push it to the side'
But the second man said 'Its a ship that is vacant
Maybe washed here by a big raging tide.'

Predictably both blind men had a discussion,
One tried to push while the other pulled the 'thing'
Both were so definite in their identification
Of the obstacle that had blocked their walking.

'Now listen my dear friend to my clear logic, '
The first blind man said as he started to frown,
'This elephant may have fainted here because it is sick.'
While the second man said, 'It's a ship broken down.'

So they both moved on with the second man ahead,
As a big ten-wheeler truck came by speeding.
It hit the second blind man who was instantly dead,
The first blind man said, 'Did you hear that lion roaring? '

'When the blind lead the blind, both will surely reach their destination: disaster.'

A Short Poem Like Ogden's

Perhaps because
Of too high taxes
A man dropped his plane
At the IRS.

Wishful Dreams

In dreams persistently you are
A present vision, ever haunting

At night like a brilliant distant star
The sight of you fills me with longing.

You call my name there in my dreams
Embraced I am in fleeting shadows

You hold my hand like fading moonbeams
But you're not there in my tomorrows.

If life could be lived in wishful dreams
No waking up in the brightness of sun

Together we will be forever it seems
Of days and of parting... there will be none.

Life's Golden Nuggets

A friendly word that sparks a little hope
A hand to hold when on the downward slope

Care and love expressed in warm embrace
Makes light the obstacles in life one has to face

Someone there to listen and to share
When times are dark and all seems so unfair

To stand together in sun and sometimes rain
A shoulder there to cry on when there is pain

Yes, Life's golden little nuggets do not come
In bars of gold, but in small things their worth become.

Words Become Lifestyles

Words make the man
And reflect what his heart contains

Thoughts become words
And when spoken they remain

Words that are repeated
Become habits in the end

Habits formed become lifestyles
That later may be hard to amend.

Buried Treasure

You are not gone for I have you
In my heart's treasured memory
Where even Time cannot subdue
Love that was eternally free..

No changing seasons will fly past
No summer, fall, or cold winter
Will ever touch, my love will last
For its own spring remains forever.

I have you here and you are mine
The treasure sealed and sea-buried
There is no key, no cabled line
And the anchor there, all but rusted.

No hope for it to be uncovered
Unearthed, revealed, again displayed-
Yes, I have you to be remembered
And a heart of gold for you there laid.

Just One Wish

I have but one wish and it is this:
That a ship of dreams will one day take me
To where you are and there to kiss
Each other in love, so affectionately.

To finally gaze in your loving eyes
To hold you in a sweet tender embrace
And to feel my heartbeat suddenly rise
As I see the love shown there in your face.

I have this one wish and I hope it's granted
That together we will be and remain that way,
There's nothing in this world I have ever wanted
Than to be with you Dearest, for all my days!

The Bible

For forty years I was blind
Till I read the Book where there I find
The Wisdom to live and do what's right
Your Words were Truth, they were Light.
They fed my spirit and guided my way
I now read my Bible everyday!

Sick Critic

Vexations and vagaries
Plague negativity

Pompous animosities
Spread much toxicity.

Unfounded anger fed
Erupts like a volcano

The writer's ink turns ugly red
And fits in poem he shows.

Jury, judge, and warden
Sentence laid for others

Those striving with their pen
To be successful writers.

Self-appointed Critic
Resign from your position

For stress can make you sick
And affect your heart condition.

Smile: -)

A Love Letter

Hello, I hope that you are well
Since we said our last goodbye
I miss you so much, you can tell
I have not forgotten, though I try.

Things have not changed, that is true
And though you have moved on today
My love remains, nothing I can do
It always shows, no matter what I say.

So you have someone else - it's alright.
Letting you go is really for the best.
To hold on to you- yes, I have no right
To leave you is to give myself due rest.

So Dearest, take care and be happy
I have memories when you were mine,
I just wrote this short note to sincerely
Wish you the best...Happy Valentine!

What A Friend Is

What is a friend?

One who stands with you
Through all the good and bad
Support you all the way through
Be there when you are sad.

One who can forgive
With whom you don't pretend
Though you have no wealth to give
He is always a true friend.

But when mistakes you make
He's ready with correction
He may hurt but not forsake
And will show the right direction

A friend has 'agape' love
You can always be who you are
He is a gift from God above
His loyalty goes very far.

'Wounds from a friend can be trusted,
but an enemy multiplies kisses.'

My Valentine Is Blue

The day of Hearts approaching
And you, I will be missing

That Valentine card is still here
Catching my every tear.

For another love had taken
And left me lonely and forsaken

Words on cards are never true
My Valentine isn't red... but blue.

If only words can deliver
This card's beloved Sender

What a great day Valentine!
Same as last year -

when you were mine.

Ink Bottle of Life

The pain and sorrows in life's hurdle
Are all contained in bottled record.
For our Experience is the ink bottle
Where the dipped pen draws many words.

The souce of writers' inspirations
From it the passion ink flows through
To weave the lines and compositions
Of life and loves that we once knew.

'He who pursues righteousness and love, finds life, prosperity, and honor.'

Proverbs 21: 21

Empty Cans

The foolish man speaks
With the loudest voice
Like little empty cans
That make the most noise.

Those who are hollow,
No wisdom to be found
But full vessels we know
Can silence their own sound.

The more the words
The less, the meaning-
For silence accords
A deeper understanding.

'Silent waters run deep.'

'A fool multiplies words.'

'When words are many, sin is not absent.'

Guilt's Toy

A chicken does not lay a chick,
It lays an egg.
A cartooned heart can never beat
Though it is red.
A dozen bells grouped up
Can never be a gong
And sounds mixed just enough
Can never birth a song.
Doves that fly to many places
Do not make each landing 'home'
Copied titles and some phrases
Cannot be woven to a 'poem'
Words and verses when stolen
May give a moment's joy
But mark this truth that in the end
That messed up life is Guilt's own toy.

Seriously...Poetry

Most publishers would wish
That those who indulge in the literary
Utilize correct English
Considered seriously...poetry.

So refrain from 'u' when meaning 'you'
Never use 'gonna' for 'going to'
Specially never 'ma' for 'my'
And don't write 'wanna' for 'want to'.

And for those who think that they're smart,
Who lace their poems with curses
They show little respect for the art
With inadequate language in their verses.
