Full and by
by Joe Cyr
Advice to youth
In sailing ships of yore, on deck,
when you glanced up toward the sky,
if the sails were full and ship close to the wind,
then she was “full and by.”
You will soon arrive at the moment
to decide future and vocation;
that point in life to chart your passage

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.

Advice To A Blue-Bird
by Maxwell Bodenheim
Who can make a delicate adventure
Of walking on the ground?
Who can make grass-blades
Arcades for pertly careless straying?
You alone, who skim against these leaves,
Turning all desire into light whips
Moulded by your deep blue wing-tips,
You who shrill your unconcern
Into the sternly antique sky.
You to whom all things

وصية شهيد - Poem
by سعيد المزين
إغمس يراعك في دمي
واكتب نشيدا من فمي
وارقب شفاهي وهْيَ تهتف حازمات
فأنا أردد أغنيات
قبل الممات
هذي أغاني الجرح تتلوها الشفاه
هذي صلاة
فاكتب على هام الحياة
قصص الأباة
الشعب آمن بالحراب

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,

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.

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.
