Contentment Poems
Sleeping Dogs
by Tony Grannell
While whiling away the evening
after whittling down the day.
Obliging satisfactions
that might happen by my way.
I tended not to urgency,
nor bid favour to complaints.
Accommodating pleasantness
without trespass or restraints.
The porch, where sought my easy chair

True beauty lies within
by Saleh Ben Saleh
Many a girl dreams of enchanting beauty,
But beauty is not a dream to fulfill.
If your heart and soul are but pure,
All envious eyes will fall ill.
Stand not bewildered my lady,
Your true beauty lies within.
Look around and accept your creation,

SONNET XI – The Prayer
by Khayelihle Bongiswa Gamedze
I've seen losers win the race,
I've seen weak ones keep the pace.
I've seen longer shots from way behind,
I've sought a voluble and a voluble was nowhere found.
I made promises, broke them all.
I made golden towers, and I watched them fall.
I made Caesar mine, I made tons of gold.
I sought my book and found my story was never told.

Happiness
by Sharon Morgan
I have chosen you because you are popular
You are the one for whom we strive
But often, you will prove to be elusive when
life decides to take its nosedive
I have always loved you; others love you too
It is how you lift the spirit
Pumping joy into the heart
It is your presence that brings contentment
To perfection, you display your fine art

Violet Sundance
by Kirsten Sanders
Amid the vestiges of indigo nocturne,
The sky reverberates with anticipation.
The gradual rhythm of light
Breathes order and motion
Under the receding cloak
Of the once reigning night.
A solar sliver slips:
Belly to the horizon,

Contentment Is Imminent
by mv venkataraman
Contentment is a holy invisible ointment.
A sentiment stopping disappointment,
An excellent way for mind-management,
A fine element for joy's development,
Brings improvement via peace-settlement,
Appointment of contentment is relevant,
If bombardment of desires gives impediment,
A brilliant attitude indeed under the Firmament !

Apparent
by Brady Stewart
I was there when they found him
Alive, barely inching across the concrete
he needed to go
Yes
He needed to go.
He needed a fact functioning friend
To dismiss, allieve,
Align with the lust for damnation.
To damn your dearest creation
However
