Best 30 Words Poems


Spelling Test

SPELLING TEST (there are over 30 words contained within this poem that are often 
misspelt by the common man)

We all do on occasion temporarily misspell.
Amateur or connoisseur of language,who can tell?
Conscientiously piece together,peculiar bits of rhyme.
Manoeuvre letters gorgeously for others to refine.

Discipline and experience,all apparent to you and me.
Pronunciation not enough to spell linguistically.
Skilful realignment of the letters needs addressed.
Paralytic implications quintessentially expressed.

A ricochet of rhythm,sabotaged in a queue of verse.
Cacophony of tone with their spellings unrehearsed.
Is your spelling kamikaze,a haemorrhaging of ink.
A karaoke nightmare,communication on the brink.

So literary geniuses,i am all apologetic.
If my utterance is rabbled and my spelling is pathetic.
You see,many words i utilize in this poem i create. 
Have been misspelt for centuries,the most common is 
separate

A Winter Treasure

beneath skies of topaz

flawless

 infinite     in     depth     and     clarity
 
the clouds had fallen...

a soft white cushion
just for us

laughing

we lay back
and made snow angels 
together

Premium Member Mother Says

Mother says when he let me down,

I tore up the flowers from the neighbor’s garden.

I do not recall this, but his failing me

has left a lasting impression.

Premium Member Fallen

My idol raced into the history books with record shattering feats,

 but fell from dizzying heights, stripped of honours and respect.

     I halted in my tracks, numb, disappointed and betrayed!

I have fallen, fallen into sadness,
Why did you leave me, my beloved?
You were my hero but you drove too fast,
     Since your death, I have fallen into poetry.

Lovely lady was my rock
                                           instant hero from birth
                                        fell into the fire of addiction
                                             love became a curse
                                         suicide breaking our bond
                                       broken loyalty, her pulse,
                                             just couldn't respond

                                              My sister, Karen

Love In 30 Words

Love, a curse
An emotion irremovable in our lives
Pain, suffering, betrayal, and wet eyes
Love, a blessing
Magnifying feelings of lust and belonging
Hiding faults and inspiration for improving

Premium Member Bffs - Never - Fallen

Best friends forever

               two bracelets, each with half a heart

      friendship ended when the tart stole my boyfriend

Tossed ~ one bracelet. Tossed ~ two friends who lost my respect. 



(For cousin Susan, who thought she had to steal everyone's boyfriend)

Spring Shows -3 Couplets, 30 Words

nectar gathered by buzzing bees
cherry blossoms like popcorn trees

busy eyes suntan bikini pose
 love breeze flows Spring shows

lovers move fast moments stall
chasing breath country clocks crawl

Fallen

Never lie
That's what you preached
But your promises
We're hollow
You just left
Why
40 years later
You show up
Dying
Asking
For forgiveness
Why did you bother

Falsely Blinded

Igniting this blaze of longing
I cherished your moonglow,
And our kisses encouraged
My vulnerable heart to surge on---
But your mocking tone
 accidentally
 spilled;
“This is an impetuous rebound.”

- A woman I seriously dated

Pedestal Breaking

While I watch her, an adored jewel,
Flinging on with my old pal
She crashes from the pedestal,
Like a burst of glass
As love etches death on the alley.

FALLEN

Pepped up for her wedding
          Geared and went beyond my resources 
                    Travelled miles on receipt of invite
                                She clung only to special few
                                      Unapolegetically ignored and broken, I regretted going

I said, "They're opportunists"
			when just a few accused,
			but  soon a throng of sixty-plus
			cried out, "We've been abused!"

			His reputation's gone to pot.
			Cliff Huxtable--he's not.
