A Toast to 2015!!!

2015 is on its way out and what better way to celebrate than with some of the best poems from recent entries to the #LQW contest:

Richard Labbett ‏@RichardLabbett               
                         

Live IN EACH MOMENT

Like nothing else is true

Brave that cliff face

TASTE SOMETHING NEW

My net will hold steady

JUST JUMP ALREADY!

#LQW #mpy

Pint Size Prose ‏@PintSizeProse                                         

Father Time silently stared at the very Last Minute

for a mindful moment,

convinced it sat crooked.

Michael Seese ‏@MSeeseTweets               

                         

the only thing

that is truly complicated

is everything

Jane Dougherty ‏@MJDougherty33 Dec 7

Time & tide wait for none

sun sets moon rises

dawn breaks

boat leaves & in this cool disinterested world

nothing waits with me

but hope

#LQW

Good job people! I look forward to reading all your creations and styles throughout next year! Happy 2016!

Rob McCarthy ‏@RobCodbiter Nov 24

Lord Weary's Castle,

mortored with bones.

Child dead, and wife withal.

Even the stones

have grown weary.

Even the crows

have fled. #lqw

Ronald ‏@RbysiekRonald Nov 25

Counting each tear

Erase the error of self

Blending into shadows

Where nobody knows

Who I am

Anticipation

Another red letter day

Another let down

A Gentle Sir ‏@AGentleSir Nov 28

her self confidence

began anew

as her inner strength

came blazing through,

casting aside

the torment & tricks,

building again

brick by brick

Jonathan Yungkans ‏@JonYungkans 11h11 hours ago

river song's secret

in sunshine's wake

a laugh

on gloom's horizon of spoilers

smiling I will always

in her fading pain

Poets & their Poems ... At it Again

Robert Mihaly ‏@RobertMihaly1 Nov 18

I'll be steadfast

Till the end...

The passage of time

Won't change

My love except

To make it

Ever deeper

HIS ACTIONS SCOLD

THOSE WHO DONT BELIEVE

HIS HATES A FLAME

BORN FROM PAIN

HIS FAITH BURNS ETERNAL

CONSUMED BY SCREAMS

There is no stronger bond in the Universe

than the one between mother and son

She's a superhero

with a love that can move mountains
