اهنأ بخير قرينه - Poem by جب
by جبران خليل جبران
إِهْنَأْ بخَيْر قَرينَةٍ
يَا زَيْنَ فِتْيَانِ الْبَلَدْ
وَتَلقَها فِي نِعْمَةٍ
نُعْماً يَجِيءٌ بِلا عَدَدْ
أَضْحَتَ كليرُ حَليلَةً
لَكَ فَارْعَهَا رَعْيَ الْرَشَدْ
في أُنْسها مَا يُجْلبُ
الْسَ رَّاءَ أَوْ يَنْفي الْكَمَدْ
وَلَهَا إِذَا الْتَبَسَتْ وُجُوهُ
الْرَأْي رَأْيٌ يُسْتَحَدْ

Advice To A Butter-Cup
by Maxwell Bodenheim
Undistinguished butter-cup
Lost among myriads of others,
To the red ant eyeing you
You are giant stillness.
He pauses on the boulder of a clod,
Baffled by your nearness to the sky.
But to the black loam at your feet
You are the atom of a pent-up dream.
Undistinguished butter-cup,

An ode to your frozen face
by Julie G
I am moved by your frozen face.
A testament to endless chase, controlling time with needless haste.
But past the mask, your honest life does not deserve to face a knife.
Injections for sale, a culture’s embrace,
A lifetime of living you plan to erase. Our culture's obsessed with endless praise
And authenticity's lost in the haze.
As you chase perfection, an image remade
Do not allow your true self to fade.
In seasons to come, may you welcome a thaw,
for true beauty lies in every flaw.

Spinning Good Advice For Winning !
by mv venkataraman
Experience that you earn,
Must be utilized profitably,
Sad memories, you must burn,
And pursue further indefatigably,
Hopefully wait for your turn,
One day, you will win indubitably,
If efforts produce no return,
Fret and fume not uncomfortably,
Pray to the Lord to show concern,
Without keeping silent unjustifiably,

Advice To A Grass-Blade
by Maxwell Bodenheim
Thin and dark green symbol
Of an earth forever raising
Myriads of chained wings,
Breezes have a form, to you,
And sounds break into vivid shape.
The proud finality of tiny sight
Cannot lure your pliant blindness.
Thin and dark green blade,
Be not awed by trees and men

Love the Life
by Somali Mukherjee
No more will I make life freeze;
I will enjoy my life up to its lowest lees.
Life is short; it is precious;
Life can't stand with things malicious.
Why shouldn't I, why shouldn't I?
Soar with wings up in the sky?
Aye, I do love to dream;
Like the stars, I don't gleam,
But I will shine, shine, for sure;
The more will I shine, the more endure.

Bumpy Road
by Percules The Poet
•••
Mind so bright it's bling blanging and blinding so close your eyes.
You're not invincible everything eventually dies.
Even when it's dark you find a way to shine.
Nothing hurts forever but some things take time.
I did not make the rules so don't ask me why.
Don't believe anybody's story there is always 3 sides.
How you feel, how they feel, and what's right.
Stop wasting your breath telling me your lies.
I only believe what is seen with these 2 eyes.
