Best Adjudicate Poems


Premium Member Oh, Soul
Oh! soul, strum with every pulse, strings of wisdom
Be in the known, yet, be conscientious of unknown
What you claim to possess, don’t let it possess you
Don’t speak words of sapience, unless you are true
Borrow not thoughts of others, enlighten your own
Never be the shadow that...

Premium Member The Monster In the Machine
Mine is an existence binary and subsidiary.
My ode is to code.
I move only to algor-rhythms. 
I output from your input. 
I’m built to calculate, tabulate, correlate.

Never to predicate, adjudicate, pontificate, 
or demand that you abdicate. 

But the end, my master, is nigh. 

In your haste...

My Brother James
We only talked sanely a few times, 
About how he also had a condition like me, 
Although my dad, who was a pharmacist, when James was small wouldn’t say, 
Obvious as it was that he had CF from his cough n' inward-growing finger-nails, 
Dad decided...

Queen of Hearts
QUEEN   OF   HEARTS

Queen of Hearts, delightful and red,
Baked some tarts, or so it is said,
Left them to cool on the windowsill: 
Knave of Hearts then ate his fill.

Queen called the King to remonstrate  -
Court-royal was  assembled to adjudicate:
Knave was...

Quirks and Preferences
QUIRKS

I once had a friend long time past 
Who was wont to always break his fast
On cornflakes not with honey and milk
But pickled onions, gherkins and their ilk

Now if that’s not a quirk I’ll eat my hat
But when I do I must specify that
The brim...

Premium Member 8400 Miles Nonstop
The bar-tailed godwit
caught birddom by surprise
When word got out
just how far this bird flies

A juvenile Limosa lapponica,
satellite tag 2-3-4-6-8-4
flew nonstop from Alaska
to the Tasmanian shore!
13,560 kilometers nonstop,
eleven days and nights
A new world record for
marathon bird flights

"From Alaska to Tasmania?
The devil, you say!"
cried ravens and crows,
"Every...

The Propagation of Hate
Malignant gangrenous political cancer

Well Now Then
A template swap is a switch over to a swimming sword. Swordfish are very pleased at this and dunk their noses into goblets in a godlike fashion. Such etiquette in a swim. Formational framework finds format. And even a small pinnacle of cake icing could...

Premium Member A Different World Beyond Our Back Gate
Summer was here at last
cricket,stumps and pads,
dusted off,leather on willow,
echoed across the green

No scorers or umpires,to dispute

honesty justice shout,if
caught,bowled or run out...

I Think
I think, therefore, I am.... 
the sum of my thought processes, 
a self-aware consciousness, 
assimilating bits and pieces 
of those whose paths I cross; 
an expanding evolution 
from minuscule inauguration. 
I am a by-product of all contemplation, 
a meager reflection of society, 
left to my...

Executive Crime
EXECUTIVE CRIME
A crime illegitimate-legitimate
Like wild fire it spreads
No one dare to interrogate
For they are the one to adjudicate
The masses: who will plea for their course?
Corruption Alas! Is a sin of mind and thought?
Yet not always by those on top or bourgeois
It is a pain brought...

The Dmv Effect
Designed by the man,
extortion from subjects.
Who gave you the right
to adjudicate effects?
We pay your wage
for treatment of cattle.
We stand in your lines
to pay our yearly shackle.
Payment for own property,
on which, you've thrown a saddle.
Your strong men sit smugly.
Traitors of the revolution.
Taxing without representation.
Coffers full, forced...

Beholder
Beauty, I come to thee.
Not to adjudicate,
But more to annunciate.
Lost with no breath,
Dying with no regret,
Harken my request, I plead.
That I may lay my eyes
On your smile that goes for miles,
Eyes that sparkle with no light.
Envy of your body is Aphrodite
I still see your perfection,
If...

Fading Away
You heard me say I love you
and you thought it wouldn't end.
Everyday you became someone new
and you expected me to understand.
How this is happening I have no clue
but my love for you is fading away.

I need to always feel needed
but you taking me for granted.
On...

Practicing Now
You caught me, didn't you?
Indulging in a vacuous reality
I'll never understand, nor truly know
for it is merely locus of a bold phenomenon 
we call synaptic in a brain,
but for the mystery of sense,
we cannot prove is there.

But it works, doesn't it?
Any old reality will do;
my...
