Edwin Baldwin Poems
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
...
Our mind it shall play tricks on us
in a welcome and tantalizing way
the lucky passers-bye who can see
a vision of ourselves playing in the hey
...
Abandoned without provocation
My lover set the stage
I plead for vindication
Ever I missed a page
...
How I long for that yesteryear time
of innocent thought and childhood rhyme
Without sorrow or strife free to suckle
and nurture from the bosom of life
...
Recently discovered an official White House report on the events that took place on
December 15,2009 Titled (Yellow brick road)) posted by Wikileaks.
...
My angel came to me DOA
she had been the victim of a devastating wreck.
Her angelic face was pale in color
and her eyes were a beautiful blue.
...
Beautifully created in the masters stroke
unfinished work of art covered by cloak
This was a portrait of my wife to be
the only girl in this world right for me
...
There's no harm in trying,,,
Some days you can't go wrong
There's no shame in failing…
Child when you do listen to my song
...
my ingredients are a whole sum few
not a mile long list that'll be bad for you
and if you are looking for fast and easy
get Dunkin Hines I'm not one part sleazy
...
All my contemporaries care greatly about things like self gain,
and securing a spot in heaven.
While I could care less about that stuff...
all I seem to want anymore is to be left alone so I can sleep,
...
She sat wearily, and wide eyed in Pa's old chair.
Then sprang to rush out the door.
'Its only just the wind'
Everyday she's done the same...
...
If Letit had a twin brother what would they call him?
Clue: If Ita had a twin sister what would Be her name?
...
There once was a red skinned lad
Who saw pilgrims hungry and sad
feed em all venison jerky
joked of a one legged turkey
...
This is the story of a sweet princess named LaRain
High above the clouds and before the beginning of time
...
Keeping my nose close to the grind stone
one piece of the puzzle closer I thought
Apparently I was wrong …dead wrong
...

The Best Poem Of Edwin Baldwin
Rudyard Kipling's If
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on';
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

Why I love to read poems of this poet? bcoz of his transgressing expressions, plain manifestations, stated joy pain's intensity, wide vision, created imagery's tenderness; his sense of humour-jucy presentation, amorous discourse, endeavour to exposure of mystery, try to clarify the paradoxical reality of life. And his poems exposing that he is endowed with wisdom. Yea I always come to you dear poet. Long live and keep emitting spectrum. God bless you sincerely Sarwar chowdhury
