Best Anapaest Poems

I recall, to our life when she came— 
In early nineties one unknown day, 
Few did know for long years: who she was— 
Her mission, and what she wished to do, 
And someone called it an Info Age: 
Internet, e-mails and e-media— 
Some of them...

Each line is composed of two Anapaest metres and a final Spondee metre.

Come to me and put thine sweet eyes
on this note that thus came, e’en tries
to put slander within my mind
of the old and bad trite stale kind.
What false lines do impinge thy name
for...

The dreams sure were dreamt— by one alone,
Not by both and sure failed to reach peak.

Let’s now build together our dream house—
Bring own base, cement, mortar, each brick.

Let all need temples to placate God,
Not us; hope, He has not made us meek.

If He’s made us...

The chatter around put on the mute,
I hailed heart to listen to soul’s lute, 
Creative spikes to spurt,
Mind mindful and alert,
More present, systems to get reboot;
And then heard a voice curt,
Don’t daisies rise from dirt?
Let winds blow from every unknown route,
Let thousand sprouts from all...

Locating door D-75
Of a large colony on a drive,
At last close, ah D-74!
I must be right at destiny’s door.
But the next turns out B-68!!
What, lost at the very Pearly Gate?
So I felt midway through my poem—
Roots in air, hangs down to earth tree’s stem!

Old wisdom,...

Markets smile, deep pockets make fat pile,
And when frown, fortunes come tumbling down.
In play of plump coffers
There’s no place for paupers—
Sophomore Dumpty’s tend to crash crown,
They prosper that possess wile and guile.

No more than a toddler when I was,
Old enough on own that can when chill—
To play with siblings an option still,
Pleasure still to play with mother was.

‘Hay look Ma, where am I?’
Pretending when to hide
I'd stay close on her side,  
A ruse to get...

Old breath no life has tolerated,
Strange, most change finds itself deserted.

Odd, this friendship I’ve cultivated,
By fighting with self fosters ahead.

It sounds so weird, my steadfast head
By ceaseless changes has been so made.

The coolness by scorching me I’ve forged,
Funny, it’s now hotly coveted. 

The success that...

You may laugh all aloud, smile a smile,
Happiness it is your very own,
If you make an unknown sad face smile,
Joy and bliss of yours greater has grown.

Fine, you bring back lost smile on the face
Of a long suffering distressed soul,
But if you add here your...

To enjoy what we have if is joy,
Waiting for what we’ve not too is joy.

One plus one makes two, tells a maths rule, 
Minus one makes lonely, says life’s school.

In life’s play, I know one close that came, 
What if that same someone plays foul...

Those that praise my pen too far and quick,
Innocent but perhaps make me weak. 

Those that scraps and crumbs about me keep, 
Slights and snubs of theirs do make me sick.

Journey’s end— end of all juice we sip,
Thanks Lord, ways of life winding to keep....

If pink’s no colour, but attitude,
If pink side of the life’s always stood,

If things look so sunny, painted pink,
And if all life’s as precious as mink,

Beauteous as is pink rose,
Everything rosy goes,

If life be the toast but of Champagne,
And all this life’s vital brass-tacks, vain,

From...

If this world were not such a sweet lure
Pulling me in like earth’s gravity,  
And for long-- many a life’s allure,  
To get trapped being man’s destiny, 
And this life being a virtual dream 
In a world ever so elusive, 
If dreams dreamt...

Joy’s like dewdrops on lotus leaf
If you know not life’s subtle brief.

It’s dawn if I open eyes, 
If not, a darkling night,
The wise whose sun would not rise, 
There reigns enduring blight
All along, life of buts and if,
Joy’s like dewdrops on lotus leaf.

Life’s echo spreads...
