Last Commented Ode Poems (274)

Long that does last in the late winter’s night
Out on the seas where the stormy wind blows
Desperate are eyes the rigging stays tight
A look of fear in each hands face were froze

Jumping from the surf was a spawny sprite
Flying up around through the sails she shows
Many a sailors how her hands will smite
And succumb to her panic in their throes

Sultry voices moan in monstrous delight
How each of all the souls lost at sea knows
Will the heavy chains of death be their plight
Dragging them down as deep as the sea goes


For last but bravery clings to survive
Begging only fate will ever surmise

the moon rises in your eyes when you touch my hand i come alive feeling you stand next to me under the light of your porch so we can see let your lips caress upon mine for once in life love has returned to me this time

alone in front of your door we are together forever more hours pass by as a minute would walk away i never should say goodnight was only a lie life without you set me to cry

i still remember your touch through my hair the glance of happiness i could see in your stare when we were together in the day my lips couldnt wait for the light to go away i knew soon we would become a pair still could smell you as if you were my air

alone in front of your door we are together forever more hours pass by as a minute would walk away i never should say goodnight was only a lie life without you set me to cry

the following day would come as i fell asleep without you in my be kept me from the power of love i knew was deep didnt need a clock to help me wake the thought of you was enough to open my eyes for the love of ours to sake rushed over to see you as angel lay my kiss upon you so you can say-you love me-cant you tell

alone in front of your door we are together forever more hours pass by as a minute would walk away i never should say goodnight was only a lie life without you set me to cry

spent the day together alive ran around like bees out of a hive count the hours till the sun would fall take you home and stand on your porch is where i wanted to be after all cant remember the last,wont forget the first the passion you showed is what i thirst

together in front of our door we are together forever more years pass by as days would walked away as you never should say goodbye was only a lie life without you set me to die

every beginning has an end isnt your love i lost yet mine to share you werent the first... wont be the last but there is only one light... your porch was ours at night

It's Saturday morning the excitement grows,
From the tips of my fingers to the tips of my toes,
Jump out of bed and run down the stair,
Avoiding my mother with the brush for my hair,
Bolt down the cornflakes place the bowl in the sink,
She asks me a question but I've no time to think,

I ask her to hurry she hands me a tin,
That's the admission, the price to get in,
Be it beans or soup or a quarter of tea,
That was the price, that was the fee,
A knock at the door, I know who'll that be,
Oh those were the days my posse and me.

We strolled down the main street with sixshooters in hand,
In our heads, the meanest gang in the land,
We handed over our bounty to a nice man called Joe,
In ye go lads we've got a great show,

The house lights were up, ah but then they went dim,
The stamping of feet, it made such a din,
On came the lone ranger with tonto his mate,
I thought he was magic, I thought he was great,
The cartoons that followed I loved most of all,
Till that's all folks, indeed that was all,

Its now forty years on, my the years they have flown,
Instead of a sixgun I now wield a phone,
Now as the lights dim and I sit in my seat,
I have to stop myself from stamping my feet.

His eyes can read the lines between
the words I haven't said;
His touch can arc across the room,
short-circuiting my head.
His voice can send my fears to sleep,
and turn my thoughts to bed...
His slow smile is the memory that holds me, in his stead.

Your love is like a dove pure and white and out of sight for the woman I love.

You made my soul a brighter place
in my heart you secured a space
The passion you've shown I treasure
reciprocation my immense pleasure

You truly are special that's for sure
joy you give has been a cure
You're a woman of the rarest kind
one just a few are lucky to find

Love for you I have never known
resplendence that makes my heart moan
Being without you I just can't see
I hope 'future' has plans for you and me

Today is deemed a more meaningful one
it is only another soon to be done
My desire is your happiness everyday
you're simply the best I must convey

The " I Love You " Rose is Red
in me chivalry lives til I'm dead
True love for you will never stray
"Happy Valentines Day"

I stand on a cold snowy night
nothing but a full moon and bright stars in my sight
would like to send a message
but the air is taking my life with thought's we've never
met so how can this be right with only an image of
your face standing in the light should i reach through
the moon or wish upon that one star tonight cause
without that special someone in your life!

It's just another cold night.

My first Snowball at historic Five Flags Speedway was Two Thousand Nine
I couldn't miss seeing Kyle Busch vie for short tracks most coveted finish line
After witnessing ROWDY win Pensacola's prestigious Derby I became hooked
until no longer able my seat at Americas' most famous half mile is booked

I never thought the drama of 09's Derby could be toppled but I was wrong
pitting with 11 to go cemented 2010's come from behind win for Johanna Long
A Snowball Derby victory has been known to catapult the driver to Nascar fame
why this most worthy of races isn't aired on ESPN is indubitably a shame

The best drivers from near and far flock to Pensacola for their Snowball chance
sadly... each year more than half who attempt fail to qualify for the BIG dance
Nascar greats Wallace, Allison, Waltrip, and others have circled the half mile
sons of greats like John Hunter, Chase, and Steven have won here in style

It's popularity has gotten bigger and bigger every year since my first one
race fans know this tough to tame oval is iconic and second to none
I feel the Derby has significance equal to Nascars Xfinity and Truck races
more seats should mean larger purses which could attract more famous faces

Traveling thousands of miles speaks volumes about the place they're going
what's missed at the Snowball each year is the lack of Nascar drivers showing
When it comes to can't miss races...the Snowball Derby live you've gotta see
many already know... and I'd surmise after your experience you too will agree

Here lies a locked Door
For some to see
Only people
With knowledge of the Key

This topic sends women's minds on patrol
It is discussed by young and old
The qualities are on a long list
Women make sure none is amiss

Some use the lives of superstars as models
To spot the qualities which seem workable
Denzel and Brad with looks and money to match
Mesmerized women as their movies they watch

Mr.Right is imagined as tall,dark and handsome
A shining knight with money in lump sum
The mind captures Cinderella and Snow White
As women imagine happiness with Mr.Right

Mr.Right is not in a movie
But can star in their lives for eternity
Mr Right is not an illusion
He is patient and available to every woman

Desire for happiness is a divine desire
There is focus on a king in shining armour
He'll show up because you are his bride
He will restore lost pride

Jesus is Mr.Right;my Right among all wrongs
When I am weak,he makes me strong
Jesus is my Right among all rights
He ends all wrongs with eternal light
