Best Curtails Poems

The subconscious mind drifts
Wefting then weaving thoughts into intricate tales
Known world shifts

Strange ideas
Seemingly real, placed details
Show fears

Cascades
Waking curtails
Fades

Subconscious mind drifts
Seemingly real, placed details
Fades...

Dragontails never ask why
Spiky fronds so scaly
Oh My – Oh My

Lurking shady and shaly
In the dark unfurls
Spiky fronds so scaly

Swirly ferns and curls
Deep greenish and purplish
In the dark unfurls

Close your eyes to make a wish
Wild whirls ever so rare
Deep greenish and purplish

Without a whisper or...

Life is not cricket: though a game of cricket reflects life 
It portrays real-life conditions; from cradle to urn 
Starting with toss of a coin; ends in pulling bails off
Just as cricket life is simply a game of twists and turns 
Cricket depicts aptitudes, attitudes...

Clicking on all cylinders, must be the weather
Though wetter than usual, this summer's been better
For outdoor festivities
It curtails activities
Not as steamy, where do I send my thank you letter?...

The signs are all around me—
skies are suddenly gray-white,
and I smell snow is coming,
maybe on this very night…

What is this ambiance of awe
when viewing those first flakes
swirling softly t’ward the earth—
a white blanket soon to make?

It’s not as tho’, these many years,
I’ve not witnessed this...

When you arrive at Gibeah of God, where the garrison of the Philistines is located, you will meet a band of prophets coming down from the place of worship. They will be playing a harp, a tambourine, a flute, and a lyre, and they will...

the meaning of life was in love
that man's name was god
god rode the meaning of life's curtails
and recieved everything the meaning of life had sewn

the devil, someone else who loved the meaning of life
did not like this
he said shouldn't the meaning of life reap what...

No words from my mouth,
no sound uttered from my lips,
silence, sweet succumbing silence
it clears one mind from unnerving thoughts
curtails curiosity, creates a refuge
where one may stand still
in comfortable unmoved limbo

I will not stand for what is right,
or what is wrong;
I will not choose between the...

Tragic the play that tells a lot,
Reaching to touch in myriad ways;
Yes comic say can string strange plot.
Sense words that smudge contrary stray,
Hurl senses far in dance and song,
Address the feel of such extremes;
Keep glimpse on par with weak and strong,
Exult the will and heart...

So who dares foretell what next appears?
A world peace to quell all nations’ fears,
or a universal turbulence, unprecedented?
As the New Year - lamented or contented,
arrives, we’re left with great uncertainty,
as to the future!  No plan nor guarantee
despite the plaints of citizens, world wide,
who plead...

The curtain curtails
 as it becomes a hazed colored veil
 covering the reflective gaze of ice-covered snow gale;

a glaze ablaze with light dazzled ready to ignite
 brilliant, blinding, purest incandescent white
 barely warming from distant glowing sunlight;

a gleaming glistening iridescent flow of virgin white
 an...

 “The worst is feeling worthless.” Quote: Donald Glover 

I tip the scales. 
Life curtails.
In luminous light
To suffer delight.
Yielding bend.
New age trend.
Wanting to break.
Now awake.
Softly spoken. 
Appearing broken.
Never cherished.
Hopes perished.
Always alone.
Hearts of stone. 
Meandering.
Never pandering.
Solace is mine.
Gives me a sign.
I wander on. 
Comfort gone.
Feeling free....

Where once verdant rolling highlands...

Spanned into infinite vista
far as these myopic eyes can see
now yellowing Whitmanesque
leaves of grass encompass field of vision.

Nary a dark dreadnaught cloud in sight,
nor unbeknownst if/when threatening storm
looms on horizon slaking parched land
delivering precipitation quenching thirsty terra firma.

I too experience vicarious...

Splendid past cherished with ardent moments,
Quest and thirst for wisdom transformed the world.
Service and solace were their rudiments,
Growth and values were together mingled.

The predicament present of evils,
Corruption and bias are the fetters.
Dreaded thunderbolts on humane morals,
Awake and break the disgraceful shutters.

Empathy survives and comforts people
Parity...

Having Faith
Written: by Tom Wright
8-15-2016

All matters must begin with a single step,
And often our uncertainty holds us back.
Even in our thoughts we may dutifully prep, 
Lack of faith curtails our ability to attack.
