online now!A Prayer For Poetry Corner And Friends
It's my joy in life to find
At every turning of the road;
The strong arm of comrades kind,
To help me onward with my load.
And since I have no gold to give
And love alone must make amends;
My only prayer is while I live,
God make me worthy of my friends.
At every turning of the road;
The strong arm of comrades kind,
To help me onward with my load.
And since I have no gold to give
And love alone must make amends;
My only prayer is while I live,
God make me worthy of my friends.

About this poem:
On the occassion of my 100th poem on CS Poetry Page.....
Friendship
What cost friendship I was once asked?
Friendship has no cost as it is freely given.
Friendship is simply the result of
cultivating a generous soul.
The acts of kindness,caring,generosity,
encouragement shall plant seeds of friendship.
These heritage seeds will then grow and multiply and
help to produce a stong and resilent crop.
To a kind person it is but an act they
naturely do and is returned in kind.
To a charismatic person it is their comraderie
bestowed on others that reaps them friends.
To a giving person it is the gift they give that
circles the globe and is received in the other hand.
To a humourous person it is the act of sharing
of laughter to improve someone else's day.
To the strong person it is the act of assisting and going
out of their way with no thought of recompense.
All these things and more are the seeds that
grow the friendships and the cost is naught but
one's time which is pleasantly passed.
The cost is naught,but to be a kind,
giving and friendly person.
Should we think to charge for these
endowments then humanity is at risk.
If purchased or gotten by coercion than is it
truly friendship and can it be relied on. I think not.
These characteristics will have a price and strings attached.
Wars and words of value shall diminish the act
and leave us unsatisfied and chided.
This is instinctive in some and can be learned by others.
If not instinctive then should this not
be a mandatory life lesson course.
Consider and thence perhaps be self taught with conviction.

About this poem:
Friendship can not be purchased
A sea of emotion.
Wistful sea,of our emotion,
the ebb and flow of sentiment.
Helpless to,the force of nature,
destined where,the wind has sent.
Continuum,relentless motion,
no port of call,in which to rest.
Here flows a tide,of resignation,
o'er undercurrent,of unrest.
No longer floating on the surface,
ride,the wave of discontent.
At last,the strength,to swim regardless,
until the time,all torment spent.
Laugh at all,tempestuous anger,
fear not,the pain,or sadness sink.
Relish all impassioned splendour,
till driven to the very brink.

An Ode To Poetry Online
Well tip me up
spin me round
love on line
I have found
not by one
going under ground
many a stranger
makes my heart pound
exoressing ourselves
without making a sound
it's by the internet
we are bound
connecting emotions
simple yet profound!
spin me round

makes my heart pound
exoressing ourselves

simple yet profound!

About this poem:
I wrote this tonight after being touched by the blessings you have left for me after reading my first post. Thank you for you all are amazing as is poets corner.A poem to the best friend I ever had
Your flame and mine may not be the same
But you have felt all my pain just the same
You have been a friend and so much more
And have truly touched my heart and mind and my entire core
When it comes to love we both run away
And this it seems is were we want to stay
Alone and separate in our ways
This is how we chose to spend our days
Maybe some day we will both change our mind
And find someone who is loving sweet and kind
But you have felt all my pain just the same
You have been a friend and so much more
And have truly touched my heart and mind and my entire core
When it comes to love we both run away
And this it seems is were we want to stay
Alone and separate in our ways
This is how we chose to spend our days
Maybe some day we will both change our mind
And find someone who is loving sweet and kind

"An Autumn Moment in Spring" (Tanka)
A leaf has fallen,
Against it's wishes today,
Removed by ill wind,
From a place it graced on high,
My eyes sad to see it down.

It saddens me when a we lose a poet or poetessfrom the corner.
Perfect Pencraft * 4 Mick *
If words are colors and lines are shapes, there's something to be seen...
Things that never were before, designs that seem to gleem...
You've added unknown mixtures to this corner of a team...
And washed our souls, complete control, your colors make us clean...
One can only wonder if it's the canvas that you use...
Painting pictures of your life, we certainly peruse...
Some have said it very well, your colors are well used...
But back to back, the black you stack, is the best and that's a fact....
Things that never were before, designs that seem to gleem...

And washed our souls, complete control, your colors make us clean...

Some have said it very well, your colors are well used...
But back to back, the black you stack, is the best and that's a fact....

About this poem:
Because of the fact that your farewell poem is still being commented on, I have decided to re-write this from memory. I transferred it into Kingsoft recently to edit it, but my phone crashed and I lost everything. I think it is close to the original however....We love you brother Mick......
LAURA - 5-7-5 (darkhorse challenge)
Laura heart of gold
Been through nightmares still untold
Love you, treasure soul.
Been through nightmares still untold
Love you, treasure soul.
