Best Ane Poems


Premium Member The -Ane Mistake

We hear, then reason; "-ane" becomes a chain,
Mundane, inane, profane — in one shared refrain.
The ear makes kin; the mind supplies the blame.
Their sound alone condemns an innocent name.

But '-ane' has no common ancestor that's known.
No single root from which these shades have grown.
They're joined by sound, not blood; a chance refrain,
They're strange bedfellows, lodged inside the brain.

'Mundane' simply means the earth beneath our feet.
The dust, the stars, the bitter, and the so sweet.
No dullness is dealt within its core domain;
We dulled the world, then christened it 'Mundane'.

'Profane' stood simply outside sacred ground,
Beyond the shrine, where ordinary life was found.
But thresholds hardened; differences gathered blame.
What stood beyond the sacred, gathered within its shame.

'Inane' was empty, hollow, a void within.
While 'vain' knew emptiness through a different kin.
Their meanings conjoined, though separate they remain—
Two roads to nothing, rhyming within the brain.

Then 'bane' arrived from quite another tree,
In Old English it's 'bana': death and enmity.
No Latin cousins riding on the train—
A killer merely dressed to rhyme with “-ane.”

So 'mundane', 'vain', 'profane', 'inane' and 'bane'.
Parade like blood relations throughout the brain.
The rhyme persuades; resemblance stakes its claim.
The ear invents a bloodline with which to inflame.

We hear resemblance, then presume a chain.
One word's dark shadow stains another's name.
A rhyme becomes a verdict; sound becomes blame.
Those unrelated roots all inherit borrowed shame.

We forge from echoes pedigrees of blame.
Make strangers kin, then stain them in our game.
Each word stood innocent; our ears supplied the stain—
We dulled the world, then christened it “Mundane”.

Artistic Impression

ARTISTIC IMPRESSION

Sequo ane aneleli
Ruthless enchantment signed peneli
Deep linguistics conveyed temporali
French-mistic concerns of one Mr. Pateli
A shrine of words deeply negated
A form of style simply paginated

Tongue-twister relative of pronounciation – the bigger picture
Thoughts bigger than the box
Thoughts like keys secured in a knox
Change of plan,-action; a detrimental hoax
Consequences of thinking outside of the box

Pay heed to listen
Marksman with an arrow coated in glisten
Levitate your mind to embrace wisdom
Silence is golden in the event of an argument raised in confusion
A life planned is pre-mediated murder substance of an illusion

Mixed words of no meaning devour intelligence
The human brain is encrypted with its own elegance
Analysis defragmenter –prophets foretell 
Analysis coordinator – preachers re-tell
Sermons attended from devout ministers –you say?
True lords of great speech per se

Due acceptance from the masses departed out of reach
A set piece not destined to offer a perfect goal 
Forgotten like the New Year’s resolutions before the end of fall
The artistic impression I portray...

Ghosted

"Ghosted"



lost lullabies
disappear lilting 
in my dreams

stolen 
by pretender
the time thief

as if you were 
never here
connected 

golden chord 
ghost 

your crying heart 
still carried 
deep 

within me

"Fingerprints" / Ane Brun

LYRICS/ "Fingerprints", Ane Brune
https://genius.com/Ane-brun-fingerprints-piano-version-lyrics





"As if your words are poetry
It's up to me to give the meaning
And I believe
That you are on a mission
To tell me something
About belonging"

Hurricane Ane

Dark clouds roll on in
    Cyclone of power and fear
  As changing as the river of life
  disperse from your path of death
    Blue skies, You weren't here

True Colours

"True Colours"



My mind is
a minefield. 

To traverse it 
and make it out 
in one piece 
is a victory 

I'm trying to avoid. 

Let me load my gun
with more colour. 

Reloading artillery now. 

(LadyLabyrinth / 2022)


I'm just getting started.
True colours 
shining now

Awa Tae France

The battles ower ,smoke settles ower the moor,
Clans are broken flying aff tae the hills.
Redcoated sodjers mingle with red Heilan blude,
Killing the wounded in Drumossie mud.
Oor Prince has fled leaving dreams in the dust,
Of a Stuart oan the throne that was oor lust,
like the heron scared of mans approach
fleeing his home being taen awa tae France.
Some say he was a bonnie lad cam frae italia way,
Heir tae the royale throne pretending tae be king,
Nae clue or fighting skill but the bonnie prince could sing.
Noo he was being led awa tae catch a boat tae tak him awa.
It was spoken of in tones hushed and still,
Ane day he wid return tae claim the throne,
Frae ower the watter oor king wid come,
Alang wi lairds cawed awa tae France.

Now Is the Time To Play

M-ist and fog Friday
A-re both nowhere in sight; 
R-aindrop on Saturday
I-s fading into the night.
E-leventh February morn meets the early beacon; 
L-et the new dawn break, bringing the haze to oblivion.

P-ink wide skyway
O-pens the day with light; 
L-ane beyond the clouds
I-s setting things aright: 
N-ever ignore your wellness, 
T-ake the sickness away; 
A-iming to try the badminton, 
N-ow is the time to play.

Premium Member Le Yon Fanm Renmen Ou

Lè yon fanm renmen ou
Ou pa ka fè anyen mal
Ou ka chame li ak yon ti chanson
Nan men ou, li pa bezwen anpil.

Lè yon fanm renmen ou
Mond lan sanble li trè bèl
Tout bagay anfò, an pinpan
Lè yon fanm adore ou.

Se tout ane a ki printan
Ti zwazo yo ap repoze e yap chante
Timoun yo ap jwe e yap ri
Gen anpil bonè ak kè kontan.

Lè ou voye flè pou li
Lè ou bay li bèl bijou
Li bo ou tankou yon ti bebe
E li ba ou akolad pou tout yon ane.

Lè yon fanm renmen ou
Ou santi ou ekstrèmman byen
Kay la gen anpil, yon dividal manje
Paske li bay ase pou vant ou plin.

Lè yon fanm renmen ou
Syèl la klere epi li ble
Lanmè a manyifik e trè klè
Lè yon fanm renmen ou.

Lè yon fanm renmen ou
Solèy la cho e li pike
Nwaj yo ap vwayaje
Lè yon fanm adore ou.

This is a translation of the poem When A Woman Loves You by Hebert Logerie

Lines Oan Pennen

Far tae the North hidden alang Moray coast,
Therr bides a little toon o which yin can boast. 
Wi a rid phone boax in pride o place mak a call tae freends an aa. 
Nae thing tae spile the view ower grey blue sea reflecting azure sky 
Rest yer mind oan Pennans lap bringing a smile tae yer mou'.
Sky ablaze with fire a glow as ancient as the stones
Ancients witnessed this cosmic fire thinking it was the gods ire, 
Hiding within circles of towering stone while druids chanted 
Smiling as they alone knew ,it was the voyage of the sun roon the wurld
Bringing the gift of life making crops grow at summers height.
Stillness settles over the sea and land, lulling all to rest and sleep, 
A flash o siller moon catching and painted by setting sun.   
Now the red of setting sun is painted over the sky,
Segou’s fly hame tae roost oan clifface steep an sheer, 
Till yince again at dawns rise  brichtens the sky again.

Splish, splash said the seagaus  yin tae anither,

Fur whit wull we hae fur oor supper e dey, 

said the ither ,Ah ken lets hae fish, 

Whit again replied the first ane, weel we aa ken that at Pennan ye allus get the 
best fush 

my but yer richt therr ma freen quick afore yon dolphins jin the queue 

C,mon n hurry get therr furst  an gie them the push.



Pennan is the fushing village wherr “Local Hero” wus fulmed.

Lover

Ane I lost my heart.
I love how he breezes up all 
and his tender blows.
At the time he draws on me
He waltz with my curly hairs

Radiant Star In the Sky

R-adiant star in the sky 
O-ften shines in the night; 
E-ven the light of the moon 
L-ooks like equally-bright. 

C-omforting star in the sky 
A-ims to bring sweet slumber; 
S-leep safe and sound, 
T-wenty-first November. 
I-t glows in the darkness, 
L-etting the bats fly so high; 
L-ane above is keeping 
O-ne radiant star in the sky.
