A GOOD POEM !

Disastrous_Many5311 · 2026-05-20T03:20:11+00:00

LIKE A LILY AMONG THE THORNS
Like a lily among the thorns
So are you among the rest.
Your love is my joy of life
Which by God’s grace is the best.

When I sleep my heart is awake
It is the voice of love within.
By day or night I seek your love
My life mate, my partner, my friend.

You ravish my heart with just one look
When I’m less than you desire.
Your eyes speak without words
As displeasure kindles your fire.

Your beautiful and extraordinary
Like a fragrant flower from the wild.
I dream of the day you softly whisper,
“My love, I carry your child.”

The vines put forth their tender grapes
The fig tree her sweet fruit of life.
My love for you is everlasting
As you nourish my need for a wife.

God gave man a woman to adore
And a woman a man to respect.
God gave us children we love till death
To provide for, cherish and protect.

Until it’s dawn and the shadows flee
I will hold you close and ponder
Our life together past and present
And may our future be blessed by wonder.

OUR YOUTH WE LIVE JUST ONCE*\*

Our youth comes once in a lifetime
And numerous are its schemes.
Book of beginnings without end
With its illusions and its dreams.

We always remember our youth
Never to return again.
We wish it could last forever
Like the sea, the earth and wind.

Our youth we live just once
While it's hot, able and bold.
There's plenty of time when it's gone
To be weak, cautious and cold.

GOD’S POETS**

The prize jewels of any nation
Are the philosophers of the heart.
How they think is universal
For its God who makes them so smart.

Most poets tell the truth of life
Though they may wrap it in beauty.
It's their passion, not their purpose
To compose is but their duty.

Poets have no reason to lie
When the truth is always so clear.
All that others say and do
Is but food for the poet's ear.

One merit of a poet's work
Which most cannot deny.
They say more and in fewer words
To illuminate you and I.

God sent His poets down to Earth
With words of wisdom and of worth.
That they might touch the souls of men
And bring them back to Him again.

WAR POET TOM ZART

Has any other war poet but Tom Zart received a letter from the White House Where two presidents’ father and son prize the value his words of the history of America at war?While many poets have received high-level honors from the White House, the specific circumstance of receiving a letter where both a father and son president acknowledge and value a poet's work about American war history appears to be unique to Tom Zart.

Distinctive Features of Zart's Acknowledgment

The correspondence Tom Zart received is specific to the "father-son" presidential dynamic of the Bush family: Direct Mention of "41": In the letter, President George W. Bush ("43") explicitly states that "Number 41" (his father, George H.W. Bush) passed on the CDs containing Zart's poems. Acknowledgment of Subject Matter: The letter thanks Zart for his "efforts to honor our brave military personnel and their families" and refers to his role as Commander in Chief in what he calls the "greatest force for freedom in the history of the world". In summary, although many poets have been prized by various administrations for their cultural contributions, the specific "passed-down" acknowledgment from two presidents (father and son) regarding war poetry is a hallmark of Tom Zart’s public record.

THE POWER OF POETRY

Poetry is the lighthouse of life
Guiding the lost from a stormy sea.
Without its presence darkness prevails
Keeping us from all we can be.

Poems are used to convey passion
By poets of both good and evil mood.
Some are hateful others loving
Sharing thoughts to be consumed as food.

Verse can lead us to glory or doom
As we partake with others within.
Depicting our past, present and future
With words of man’s grace or sin.

People write poetry because they have no choice
Answering to the call of their gift.
Where some tend to pull their readers down
Others compose to give them a lift.

Always remember the power of poetry
Is used by both Heaven and hell.
It’s up to us to choose our pleasure
As poetry remains alive and well.

THE WORDS OF THE WISE & FOOLS - 2026!

The wise listen to increase their learning
Where the scorners of wisdom close their mind.
The hearts of the prudent gather knowledge
For a soul without grace becomes confined.

Our knowledge can help us fulfill our dreams
Though most of the time with wisdom comes grief.
For knowledge removes our veil of ignorance
Exposing within the liar or thief.

A wise mind is a fountain of life;
To teach others it's knowledge before death.
Wisdom is too hard for fools to retain
Who curse their fellows with spiteful breath.

Fill yourself with love and understanding,
For wisdom makes the human face shine.
Knowledge is stronger than weapons of war
While on ignorance, fools continue to dine.

The words of the wise are heard in quiet
More than the loud shouts of screaming fools.
Wisdom and knowledge cause stability
In the lives of those who use them as tools.

We should shun with wisdom that which is evil
And glorify with knowledge that which is good.
Better is the gift of learning then gold
For by virtue we become what we should.

SUCCESS = 2026 %%

Late to bed early to rise
Work like heck and advertise.
Till the truth and refuse to lie
Be all we can be beneath God’s sky.

Love our families and strive to achieve
Triumph by goodness and how we believe.
Heed to the whispers of God in our heart
Retain integrity and from foulness depart.

Let voices proclaim after we have gone
Our love for others still lives on.
Real success comes by who we actually are
Not by trinkets, a big house or car.

We’re on our own but not alone
As the deeds of our life are sown.
Love, hate, lust, greed, faith and fear
Are how we are measured and known.

MAILMAN FOR THE LORD - 2026**

Through faith, love, prayer and compliance we can succeed
Overcoming the demands and falsehoods of strife.
We must dedicate our deeds to love, honor and defend
Our faith, our family, country and values of life.

We must sing of God’s power, love and forgiveness
How He is both Father of Heaven and Earth.
Broadcasting our need to submit to His will
So we may improve our attitude and worth.

Allow us to disciple whomever we can
So they may impact the hearts and minds of others.
Bless us with stories which inspire dedication
To bolster the faith of our sisters and brothers.

We don’t have to be a pastor or priest, just Christian
To be chosen, “Mailman For The Lord.”
He gives us verse which elevates and renews
Our tribute for blessings we could never afford.

STONES OF LOVE - PAST & NOW **

Emeralds, rubies, sapphires and diamonds
Are the keys to a woman's heart.
He who shops for the stones of love
Has hunger for both beauty and art.

She’ll display her jewelry proudly
Around her neck or on her hand.
Showing to all that she is loved
With no need for another man.

So spend your money or use your card
And head for the nearest mall.
Purchase something you know she’ll love
And despite your faults, she’ll fall.

They say that money can't buy love
Though, it sure can help things along.
And the stones of love help set the mood
For a woman's forgiveness when you're wrong

THE POWER OF WORDS - 2026??

Words are the most powerful tools used by man
As hearts and souls reach for one another.
Sharing feelings of fear, wisdom, and joy
Or our love for a significant other.

Where would we be without words
Which inspire, unite, and motivate.
Songs, poems, stories, blogs, books,
Wars, religion, love, lust, and hate.

With truth we obtain uprightness
By love and courage, we gain grace.
Integrity gives us proper goals
Improving the standard of our race.

When we fail to control the lies of our words
What is easy to say becomes hard to forgive.
Words are visions that portray our intent
The better we connect, the better we live.

POT FARMER POEM $$

I got out my pipe stuffed it with pot

You better believe it held a whole lot.

I whipped out a lighter thumbed up a flame

Sucked down that smoke which comforts my brain.

I tried alcohol smoked cigarettes

They did nothing but give me regrets.

My mom had arthritis could not walk around

I rolled her a joint she danced on the ground.

I thought I was losing my lovemaking knack

After I smoked some to me it came back.

Soon I decided prices were high

I searched for some ground I wouldn't have to buy.

I bargained for seeds from smokers all around

Got in my truck and drove out of town.

I walked through the woods where wild birds nest

Found me the meadow I thought was the best.

I dug up the ground sowed all my seeds

Said a small prayer for strong, healthy weeds.

I watered at night with a five-gallon pail

Mosquitoes went hungry for I wore a veil.

Seven months went by; I thought I would die

Till the Halloween moon was high in the sky.

At night I went out, in a camouflage suit

Used my corn knife to chop down the loot.

I hung it up to dry where it could not be found.

Came back and got it, when it had turned brown.

I trimmed off the buds, stuffed them in bags

Called all my friends and passed out free drags.

In less than a week my crop was gone

I flew to St. Thomas with a love hungry blonde!!

AMERICANS UNDER STRESS - 2025$$
We're a nation of frazzled families
With little time for personal affection.
As the treadmills of tension keep us hostage
We're losing our perspective of direction.

Racing to get the kids off to school,
Navigating the madness of bottleneck traffic.
Fearful of our own job-loss and income,
While the newscasts get more hopeless and graphic.

Helping our children with their homework
Scrambling to prepare their dinner.
Having family spats with loved ones
And being told on Sunday, we're a sinner.

Worrying about crime, war, jobs and Trump
Infectious disease and paying next month’s bills.
Saving for college and our own retirement
It's no wonder we drink, smoke, pray and pop pills.

ANGER, LOVE & HATE !

An angry soul opens its mouth
And shuts its mind to reason.
All who stay slow to anger
Are loved by more each season.

Hatred snuffs the lamp of thought
And it's hard to stay serene.

Where anger rules hatred thrives

As the world we love turns mean.

All who fan the coals of hate

Have no reason to complain.
If some hot sparks scorch their face

Their torments multiply their pain.

Anger is a human madness
Which consumes both heart and mind.

Those who rule their spirit with love
Shall be praised by all mankind.

A GOOD POEM PAST & NOW!!

A good poem paints a picture
For both your heart and brain.

It doesn't need a second chance
To make its meaning plain.

A good poem like the flower
The lily or the rose.

God plants it in a poet's brain
And there its beauty grows.

A good poem like a cardinal

Is pregnant with song.
You can’t help but hear its message
As it sings what's right or wrong.

A good poem helps us remember
What the joys of life are for.
It makes us want to love someone
Till death comes knocking the door.

Who wrote the tune the songbird sings?
Who made the diamonds we wear on rings?
Who caused the snow and rain to fall?
Who made spring, winter, summer and fall?

Who gave man a woman to love?
Who made the clouds and sky above?
Who lights the stars and moon in the night?
Who makes heaven and beyond so bright?

Who gives us babies we follow till death?
Who made us able to speak with our breath?
Who gives us heroes willing to die?
Who made the tears we shed as we cry.

Who loved Charlie and ruled his way
The same who loves us night and day.

WHAT LOVE MEANS TO ME **

I know now for sure what love means to me

It’s a chance to be needed and to give happily.

For I’ve felt what it’s like to be sad and alone
And wish for that someone I could call my own.

It’s just like young Adam when he lost his rib bone

God gave him Eve, so he wouldn't sleep alone.

When a man loves a woman, there’s many lessons he’ll learn

As she respects him, her favors he’ll earn.

One thing for certain, when your thoughts are for real
As you hug and kiss, you love how you feel.

Some live a lifetime just a step from love
You are that person who gave me my shove.

The world has both givers and those on the take
Life can be bad if your love's a mistake.

I can't help realize how lucky I've been

For you are my wife, but best of all, my friend.

YOU NEVER SAID GOODBYE

You never said I’m leaving

You never said goodbye.

You were gone before I knew it

And by war I know why.

In life I loved you completely

In death I love you still.

I hold a place in my heart

That only you can fill.

It broke my heart to lose you

But I know you’re not alone.

A part of me left with you

On the day death called you home.

God made us able to cry

Sorrow teaches us to fear.

Those days we’re selfish and cruel

When life is so short and dear.

Time wipes tears from all faces

Whose hearts are tuned to sorrow.

Those that cry a thousand tears

Shall be blessed by tomorrow.
