Best Applauds Poems


Premium Member Only Fools Think So
Pray for us sinners,
for indeed sinners we are.
In love with our immorality,
wallowing in our faults,
repeating our transgressions.
 
The world applauds us 
in complete agreement
with our fetid fallacies.
We are important only if
we indulge in our heinous,
scandalous and contemptible
affairs of the world.
 
There's time enough to right
any...

Premium Member Betrayal In Black And White
The naked truth of hijacked leaves 
when tree reveals a mockingbird 
the wind with knives— the season’s thieves
applauds the loss of innocence 
soprano song his spoken word
as summer turns a villainess 

his merriment in verse she steals 
to feed the winter’s sinfulness
where hunger flies and...

Pevec in Czech -
a poet in our tongue,
and I see him there, composing.
His poem is about the sea,
and how the crabs are dancing
slowly to its rhythm -
side-going to the end of Southend Pier.

Premium Member A Feather In the Forest
Leaving my son's house, a rain-burst had just passed.

At the edge of the wood, contrasted against dark clouds,
A single tree stood glowing.

Wet in the sun’s rays, its leaves shimmering in the breeze.
A feather in the forest glowing,
Singly.

Brightly shining yellow green,
A cottonwood applauds the coming of...

Woodland Brook
Soft at first, the melody grows louder as I near
The carefree brook skips through the wood 
Singing to herself, laughing at her song

Warmed by the sun whose golden fingers
Dance upon the surface, and caress the ripples
She meanders aimlessly, exploring, embracing

I am taken by the silence...

Aphrodisia and Adonis
Heavens’ Cherubs prepare pearls of passion,
Rose petals rain from cupidity clouds…
Hearts hunger in a fervorous fashion,
Avid appetites unveiling their shrouds.

Orgasmic ornaments parade the view,
Sons of Apollo descend upon steeds…
Loves’ lustfulness lingers below the blue,
Spontaneity spurs nocturnal needs.

Prurient pleasures palpitate the hour,
Ravenous raptures within their yearning…
Coveting...

Premium Member Only If
beautiful lady
holding you
ever so gently
in the softness
of beauty

as the violin plays
touching souls
under a full moon
i dance
with you

silver shadows
dancing a waltz
touching 
black velvet

in silken 
soft feelings
in loves melody
singing out
in your earthly
beauty

my spirit rises
applauds
in beating wings
the heart 
pounds
on the drums

reaching high
hands out
in a flash 
of light

i hand...

Premium Member Friendship
Friends may not go together.
But friendship is a splendid feel endures forever. 
You may toil the whole day.
Sharing a few words with the pal takes your stress away. 
Friendship is a treasure
That renews your pleasure.
A friend backs you up in your efforts
And applauds your accomplishments

Premium Member Have Reached My Destination
used to have ambitions
goals
wanted to be a nurse and I did that
was on a mission to be a wife and      mother

but life took me down a different path
I always had this natural ability to write
not something that can be taught...

Celebrity
As the car door opens, she steps out.
She is beautiful, beyond all doubt.
Her dress is as elegant as a ballerina’s dance.
All eyes on her, gazing in trance.
Her audience applauds her as she walks by.
She fakes a smile when she wants to cry.
She wants to escape...

Premium Member Black Labels
she reaches behind the smokescreen

of her sunken eyed curtain veils

films of tears void of translucence

stoke reminiscent ashes that trace

another blinding thick-skinned defeat

hidden by camouflage and smears

touched up campaigns of bravery


her retinas a web of hallucinations

illusion delusion cataracts and dreams

stirred but not entirely shaken as

she reaches...

Premium Member The Butcher Shop
Mohamed and Khaled
The best butcher shop in town
In the deception of silence
they butcher those with sound

Voices against their Kingdom
they fear and do not like
Raping their women with modern views
while butchering a protesting man

Both Prince, King and pork herder
Vehement denials throughout the land
Yes the color of...

Click, Tick, Wick and Sick
Like shining stars sparkles a trust with credits
Yet often in media they proclaim about their debts
Public ought to work out its merits
Is there truth at least in tit bits?

When their followers photographs do click
Their social organization receives approval tick
They proclaim about pouring oil on flickering...

Premium Member Intellectual Peer Pressure
Intellectual peer pressure

The faces change from smiles to sneers
from effusive praises to contemptible jeers.
A man whose wisdom has been seen for years
now forced to face his prideful peers.

A man whose intellect is simply beyond compare
those who read his works just stop and stare.
How can someone...
