Best Applause Poems

Day after day we’re trying to reach inside to pen
that one poem that: 



Stands out above the rest
Has that it factor
Is deep and thought-provoking 
Will put you in the spotlight 
Have others speaking about your talent
Will put you in the in-crowd
Will make you popular in...

Lost in Applause


I let the book fall from my hands,
relishing the tumbling words
…I fell
I let the air fall….. so I could breathe
below the surface

I retrieved the pages I read on 
the way down, calling out the turning
chapters as baby elephants ran through
my coffee shop, unable...

Here is my next sports rap poem. Jim

Round of Applause

Already now I must admit
What is it we have to hit?
How about homer with baseball
Not strike three they did call.

Why fool around and always fret
Should kick a goal into the net
Don't continue to turn and toss
Should...

Dipped in frenzied simpatico
      as easily as tango's release
the lyrics changed course
         toppling over stances
notes were stacked
              against the...

This site is da bomb, my haven so to speak

It's where I go to mellow out

Away from the ugly news of the day

That we constantly hear about

Without the Soup, my life would be boring

I'd walk around mumbling away

Oblivious to the big old world passing by

Whatta...

A summer storm has struck upon the stage.
Like clouds, faces in the crowd change to black. 
As lightning triggers sudden disengage,
tonight’s entertainment can stay on track. 
The wit he’s stored within his mind’s spice rack 
can use this summer rain in which to mull. 
Dry...

Silver nail tips nails painted black accentuated her skin.
Her pantsuit was coordinated with her accessories.
Her conversation was of political activism.
She was sharp as a tack and her mind was keen.

She was a trailblazer in her game.
Political office she would acclaim.
The members of her party gave...

October lingers on the soul
Harvest blessings
In hues of hope

October sky’s
Shimmering in your eyes
Reminding me why I can delight
In the whisper of Autumn
Coloring the whole world
Shades of scarlet, tangerine
And gold mélange 

October sun
Combined with dew brushed dreams
Succulent loves smiling serenity
Throughout the morning
Forever warming
Alive and flowing
With joy

October...

Thunder Gives Its Preceding Applause

The Rain gifts blessings multi-fold,
aided by its sister Wind, earth reaps.
Bounties plentiful, harvests gold ,
as into awaiting soil it seeps.

Fields cry for the coming spray,
showers sent to man and beast.
If withheld we begin to truly pray,
so that we live and may...

what can i do
who could i be
i don't want to be you
i've got to be me

to live and learn
the world isn't my foe
but a friend i must earn

i was generally opposed
to being societies clone
but now hell has proposed
and i can...

Applause, applause
So, you say our scene’s over
But I’m calling for an encore
No repeats yesterday
Of opening night
I miss the fumbles
When we didn’t really know what we were doing
It’s all too smooth now
It’s almost right...

a faceless man 
stands on the corner and waves
as if on a stage 
as if delivering
the third and final act
from a play
from life...

Once the curtain is down
All lights then turn to dim
Music slowly trails off
As the self bows back in

Moments of reflection
Memory becomes faint
When the thrill has left you
And you wipe off the paint

You think of what it was
That you have then just done
Knowing all it has...
