BOEMS BY JA WIZDUMBs BY JA

Poetry, is not just
The rhyming of some words
It's an expression of a feeling
Which a heart shepherds
...

Do a good deed
Or fill a need
Say something nice
Or give advice
...

A message of love, peace and joy
Was gifted to us, by the birth of a boy
Bequeathed as well, for all to enjoy
...

Happiness, is like a flower blooming
Its petals hid, its beauty looming
Then it unfolds, in all its splendor
To makes us feel, so warm and tender
...

If
you're perplexed
And
can't decide
...

What do we think we're doing
Spending millions on our pets
When the world is full of children
Whose needs, we've not yet met
...

I sat alone, as the world went by
Said no hello, bid no goodbye
This life I lived, inside my mind
The reason why, was not defined
...

I'm a make believe poet
Just wasting my time
Scribbling thoughts to a rhythm
Hoping words make a rhyme
...

Respect
Isn't learned
By
What you knew
...

CENTENARIAN
If your wife, has ninety-nine cents
And you, have nary a penny
Then, don't give it to her
...

I have traveled, long hard roads
Sailed atop, those stormy seas
Climbed the highest mountain tops
And dwelled among, the forest trees
...

Don't walk on grass
When it's wet
Or if it's moist with dew
...

I put myself out there, I mean, out on the net
Said I was handsome, and drove a new Corvette
I worked real hard, all my life, so had money I could spare
But needed to find, the right someone, with whom I wish to share
...

Be happy and gay
When things go your way

Be remorseful and sad
...

They're not the best
All the time
But
They are the best
...

BLIND
I look through eyes that cannot see
Just darkness and shadows follow me
No light, no color, no flair, no spark
...

Don't look back
At
What is done
Just look ahead
...

Never
Lend
Never
Borrow
...

Each day I lay, in this place
Surrounded by my thoughts
Without a way, to move or speak
While my body slowly rots
...

If we are old
Our time is cast
So younger lives
Should us outlast
...
