There was an old lady from Spain
Who was really quite a big pain
Whenever she grumbled
The football team fumbled
And that was the end of the game! Ole'!

Gidget, thanks for the kind words about The Most Wonderful Sadness. I have written cathartic poetry before, and since, but that poem is my pride and joy. So glad it resonated with you, and that you enjoyed it. :-)

Thanks, Bandit! I'll let you know in a week or so if it's beautiful enough to win a diamond ring...!

These are some oldies, but some faves...

Always On My Mind
Well, I can't say my life turned out in just the way I planned
and maybe down the road someday, I'll need a helping hand
Cause I'm tired of all the sh!t I've seen and the things I'm forced to do
but after all is said and done, I'll be coming home to you.
I've had my fill of love affairs and my share of one-night-stands
but I just can't seem to find the road back where it all began.
And if I need a place where I can go when I have nowhere to go
what it all comes down to, you're the only home I know.

Cause it's you I met on the road of life and it's you I leave behind
and if I stay too long this time, I'm bound to lose my mind
I'm looking for the rainbow I'm never going to find
but as I walk away, please know, you're always on my mind.


I once believed my life would be a fairy tale, of sorts
but twist and turn along the way, and I lost that dream, of course.
Now somehow, I will make it through the fire and the flame
and I'll come out on the other side, but my heart won't be the same.
'Cause I broke a lot of promises, and I told a lot of lies
seems these days I pay the price; guess it comes as no surprise
But you stood by me through all the good, and you helped me through the bad
looking back on all those years, you were the only strength I had.

Cause it's you I met on the road of life and it's you I leave behind
and if I stay too long this time, I'm bound to lose my mind
I'm looking for the rainbow I'm never going to find
but as I walk away, please know, you're always on my mind.



not tonight, love
tell me you need me
tell me i'm loved
tell me my heart soars
on the wings of a dove

i won't cry tonight, love
i'll watch the world die
i'll wait until morning
when you're not at my side

and then i will stand tall
alone with my fear
and i'll dream of the past, love
of days you were here

and when i'm without you
i'll learn to go on
i'll ignore all the heartache
of knowing you're gone

and someone will love you
much better than i
but tonight, though i'm lonely,
no, love, i won't cry.

Hee hee hee Coco and Mocha and Mame.

Karen, did you post Always on My Mind before? It sounds familiar.

Thanks Merrysea, I plan to check out that link

I've cried alone at the drop of a hat
More than a body should cry
I cried so much I think I scared the cat
I could see it in his eyes

I cried at songs that spoke to me
In the car on the way to work
I cried for no reason that I could see
As if I had some weird quirk

I still cry sometimes when I forget
To remember how I have been blessed
By a beautiful heart who gets
That I still sometimes get depressed

But more often I cry tears of joy now
At the resilience of the heart
With an exceptional friend who is showing me
It is possible to make a new start.

I cry at the wonder that I can trust
When I never thought I would again
Tears well up for love tinged with lust
In the arms of a wonderful man.

Gidget, thanks for allowing me to post my "Rose are red" poems...I had fun. Maybe I'll try to do some more or maybe even a longer poem. I have so much inside to express and I've never taken the time to try poetry.

I loved your recent poem....very deep, but so real.

And Karen, I also loved your poems. Always on my Mind brought back some tender moments in my younger years.

Mame & Coco -- thanks for the kind words about my Always on My Mind. In my head there is music that goes with it, hence the formatting of it, but even though I have a guitar here, I'm not musical enough to actually turn it into a song, per se. And yes, Coco, it is reflective of the younger years... I wrote it about five years ago, I still can't decide if the sentiment behind it is towards a boy at that time or the city I was in when I wrote it.

Gidget, there's a real possibility that I posted it in the last poetry thread -- it's one of the few (I've written a LOT of poems over the years) that stands out in my mind as something worth sharing.

This thread doesn't have to be all about our poems, does it? I wanted to share one of my all time favourites:

Dance Me to the End of Love
by Leonard Cohen

Dance me to your beauty
with a burning violin
dance me through the panic
till I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch
and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love

Let me see your beauty
when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving
like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only
know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the wedding now
dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and
dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love
we're both of us above
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the children
who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains
that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now
though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to your beauty
with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic
till I'm gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand
touch me with your glove
Dance me to the end of love

Karen, Always on my Mind was beautiful, and Dance Me to the End of Love was fab . . I'd never read it before, thank you for posting it.

Today is the anniversary of my father's passing. The day after he passed, I wrote something for him. Being in a very bad state at the time, it's pretty simplistic, the best my mind could do. Realizing this isn't a "happy" poem, I hope no one minds my sharing it. I'm just missing him so much. At his funeral, I read this to him graveside.



I was never afraid of a single thing,
No matter what the day would bring,
If things got bad as I went along,
I turned to him, he made me strong.
My Dad was there.

He never asked for anything,
But was always thrilled with the smallest thing,
He was a man who was just a boy,
He filled my heart with the greatest joy.
My Dad was there.

His years grew hard but he never broke,
Not under open-hearts or crippling stroke,
A tiger's courage so deeply ran,
At the very core of a gentle man.
My Dad was there.

Fate threw him curves and made life tough,
But he never said, "I've had enough.",
Without complaint, he'd struggle back,
Up an ever harder, steeper track.
My Dad was there.

When you saw his face, you saw a smile,
His eyes would twinkle all the while,
A simple man among the crowd,
Yet I looked at him and felt so proud.
My Dad was there.

He was the light that lit my way,
And now my path is dark today,
But he's with me now and I am whole,
I feel his warmth in my heart and soul.
My Dad lives there.



I know you're listening. I love you, Dad.
