Couplets Contest Announcement
Wonder what type of poems will be best
In my new couplet poems only contest
Will you wow me with colorful vocabulary
Will your poem be monotone, dreary, merry
I agonized over who wins a trophy the three
But every single entree is from a winner to me
So get your wonderful writing chops in gear
My contest is on until

Contest Announcement Poem
Since I can’t write
May as well read
And sponsor a contest
For free poetry
Hope you will enter
If it’s your desire
Maybe you’ll find
Words that inspire
The contest is for
20 lines or less no more
I hope it’ll be fun
And not a chore
Power in the Tongue

Archangel's Amazing Announcement
Angel's amity amidst angry assembled archenemies,
archangel's amazing announcement,
an armistice achieved, armaments acquiesce,
ardent applause,
averted an armed and amoured armies animus
and an Armageddon annihilation

The Worlds Most Difficult Announcement
A sure ear-bursting announcement:
It shall walls vibrate: pronouncement
A knight’s last-hour confession:
Banging the pregnant profession…
“I can’t. I will not! Where is he?
Don’t even mention any fee
May be, The Vicar should do so
Here’s the microphone as I go…”
“Who feels fine hanging on a tree
What makes Conscience cease to be free.
Recovery I see damned slow,
Numbness

At the Announcement of a Holiday
Children howl, like wolves and dogs,
Dumping rules, like dirt-dust logs;
The teacher's cane rarely works,
The principal flares cause smirks!
Workers stand, pandas-perplexed,
Cattle crazing next, stand vexed;
Students some; Angels! Correct,
Others: Devils! See them wrecked!
Principal-tiger hurried,
Like sheep, each teacher worried;
Each angst of future buried,
Students leap like light-bodied!

Pensioners, Come Tomorrow
What can it be if not ignited tension
Among retirees waiting for their pension
That weakly caters for their weekly ration
Their numerous legs, hundreds of suspension:
A carbon copy of the criminal’s in a police station.
Long, I’ve been watching their tired faces
And ceaseless circuitous paces,
All of them buffeted by the issued new orders
About which they wouldn’t tell

Announcement By Shepherds
Announcement to Shepherds
Luke 2:8-20
Luke: “Nearby shepherds were living in the fields,
Guarding their sheep at night. 9 The Lord’s angel,
Stood before them, the Lord’s glory shone [yields],
Around them, and they were terrified [the dell].
10 The angel said, ‘Don’t be afraid! Look! [mind],
I bring good news to you - wonderful, joyous news,
To all people. 11 Your savior

The Great Aunt
Your parents gave me the news at Wilton's Music Hall
a place of joy and drunkenness
Laurel and Hardy, Hetty King, Marie Lloyd and now
A Great Aunt.
A figure of jest, jeers and laughter
what fun, what fun.
A great Aunt - fast track aging
I shall buy a lavender shawl and another for you pink or blue.
We shall wrap ourselves

The Marriage Announcement
She called me up a while ago
In her voice there was a glow
I've got some news for you, said she
I'm getting married soon, you see
In her voice there was a glow
I knew that you would want to know
I'm getting married soon, you see
It mattered not if I agreed
I knew that you would want to know
And,

The C Bomb
there he was
in his white coat
afraid of our reaction
as he dropped the C word
we watched it bounce off the floor
and hang there suspended
no one reaching to grab it
we all sat there with a blank stare
pretending to be deaf
frozen in disbelief
biting our tongue
holding our breath
limp arms down our sides
it couldn’t be
how could it be
wanting to unhear
