I'm looking at the raindrops each with their new smile

They dance across rainbows every once in a while

Not forgetting the dewdrops, crystal and so clear

Just waiting to deliver a portion of morning cheer

I know all about the rivers gentle as they flow

The summers and the winters, when we have some snow

Not forgetting the fields that produce all... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (youngcornwall) http://poetryboard.yuku.com/topic/3387 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:39:51 GMT http://poetryboard.yuku.com/topic/3381/t/Eight-legs-of-Creation.html I've seen some people handling these
painful and they bite,
Scientists who scour the brush
for the crawling fangs of fright.

They creep up on a spider
and tell you about its teeth,
apparently it's aggressive
and woven like a wreath.

This one is a Wanderer,
it despises parlour games
it jumps at any perceptible threat
I wouldn't call it tame.

Sweeter than the songbird up there in the tree

singing his little heart out beautiful and free

Sweeter than an infant newly born this very day

brings joy and happiness without a word to say

What is sweeter than this you may very well ask?

Only Him who created it all, in a six day task

Whoever will be the one to cast the last stone?

and is destined to commit the last crime

They have already been allotted to fulfil this task

no one knows the day or even the time

This very day His finger still draws in the sand

making sure we can see that more clearly

Not wanting any one to be lost

because He loves us all so very dearly

I came upon them on the valley floor
those hatless disembowelled buildings,
their hard tiled innards
reflecting back the sound of my intrusion
that disturbed their quiet misery.
My presence making promises
that my departure will not keep.

The fierce winter winds
rip through these structure now
slamming doors and windows in
high dudgeon,
tearing unwilling rafters
from their rusted anchor bolts
and mocking the... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Eamonn Kinsella) http://poetryboard.yuku.com/topic/3342 Sun, 18 Oct 2009 19:23:56 GMT http://poetryboard.yuku.com/topic/3341/t/True-love.html True love

What can I say now that she has gone?

And no longer will she be by my side

That heart rendering pain, day and night

the tears so freely I cried

If only she knew You more intimately

it would have been easier to bear

But knowing of You without really knowing You

it made my heart strings tear

October Novelette…

in the tidal stream of ages
all my calligraphic pages
drift astray along with autumn leaves
and weightless withered dreams…

twixt glistening reflections
ever fluctuating myriads... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Najade) http://poetryboard.yuku.com/topic/3340 Sat, 17 Oct 2009 12:23:15 GMT http://poetryboard.yuku.com/topic/3337/t/Our-time.html Our time

Take the good things out of life

and don't dwell on things that are bad

Concentrate more on what makes you happy

and not on the things that make you sad

If we look for the worst in everybody

and the same in everything

Who is going to be the winner?

and who is going to meet with the King?

Kyrie…

a placid purple afternight…
me, reaching for your hand
around the corner of a hazy villagestreet…
yond silhouettes in veils of mist you read
the airy whisperings I'm sending
to your spirit o'er the land…
