Best Area Poems


Gray Area

Sometimes when matters are in the gray,
it ain’t always black and white
There are times when emotions are deep blue,
canary yellow thoughts can make us wanna fly, shy away
Then, bright orange glowing memories
bring gentle, evergreen smiles
As time’s seasonal change sunset down on us
Being lifelong lovers, we got
amethyst purple hearts of courage
that beats with 
ruby red rhythms of loving perseverance
Here at this humble, brownstone garden abode,
two pink carnations have budded and bloomed
Now looking at the graying of the skies,
we can see the rainbows in each other’s eyes
Reflecting the soul spectrum of our love

Premium Member Grey Area Zoned

Struck down 
powerless with astonishment 
as the Brocken spectre took its shape 
Forming one shadow breathing out 
from the misted oceans
 
A fierce bitter wind whispers 
curling cries around the mountain 
howling suffering tunes 

Where an odd sound echos strangely 
three times striking the spine with ice trembles 
Then the crunch of lightening suddenly strikes this note 
darkness causes uneasy feelings 
when the shield of light is blinding 
to the lost yet to be found wanting 

Opposite the sun enormous magnified shadows 
begging to be seen casting lots 
upon the surfaces of clouds opposite
one head crowned figure emerges 
surrounded by glowing halo-like rings 
the formation of glory rises 
from within shaping destiny 

Where rings of coloured light appear 
directly opposite the sun 
when sunlight finally meets a cloud 
of uniformly-sized water droplets 
refreshing the misted vision held bathed

Grey Area

You came in packages
wrapped in black and white
checkered abstract
ribbon
   knotted
     much
       too
         tight.
In spaces between
   all and nothing
lies my patient
heart.


The Era of Area

The Era of Area 

Diameters 
Circumference

The whole sector

My vision is the mirror of the world I'm reflecting 

Led by my Path and direction

I said I was reckless 

But only to relay the message 

That    
peace is peace

But that don't mean just ah fraction

We are mankind
Not manufactured 

Intellectuals 
That lack actual
Intellect that's factual

Susceptible 
To information un creditable
Satisfied with lies made eatable 
Audible and fashionable 

Collateral 
damage, 
descendants of
Degenerates
Piggybacking 
Of ignorance 

Soliciting 
Bigotry and 
Vengeance 

Is it 
the power of adding every cents
Or the fact that we been slaves 
Caged in that same ship ever since 

Kunta tried to make a drum
But the beat skipped
Speak it
He taught me, 
that's the way to pass teachings 

Read it 
Alex Haley taught me 
Words are our secret 
language leads us to our healing
I thank Ayala for her leading
And Lauren hill for her grieving 

So many I thank without guessing 
But you feel their presence 
Through my content and evidence 
I'm forever rich

Gold is my soul
Diamonds shining through my bones
I'm all elements and minerals 
Ascending in intervals 

I'll be the bird with the word
So you dont get pigeon holed

Strength is within us
We forget it though
Looking at the exterior
Forgetting the inter folds 
We self centered
But are we centered though
See the picture and throw a filter on
Then wonder why you vision thrown

We all sinners
casting the first stones
My people, take these steps with me
The path the leads us back home

Premium Member Brodmann Area 4

The debate between free will and fate has taken a hard right
turn to neuroscience, Brodmann area 4 the primary motor
cortex of the brain located in the posterior frontal lobe
(the one cut out of the one who once flew over the cuckoo's nest).
This area of the cortex has the pattern of an homunculus!
a little man, a troll, the all-wise, mandragon, the golem of Jewish folklore.

This little man has a  that, when fully engorged, is
equal in size to his entire body. However, diseases
such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Huntington's, Lou Gehrig's and
      Creutzfeldt-Jakob
are gunning for him. His basal ganglia are garbled
and he ends up giving poor advice and making bad decisions.
Who can say what happens to his soul or cells or if all will be given or
      well?

I was listening to the famous astronomer on public radio
who expressed the certainty there is no death, your soul
is immortal, it exists outside of time (but not space?). That's because
time exists only in the human mind (as does the universe
including the professional baseball season which is canceled when
      you're dead).
By Spring, my problems will be solved or ignored, either way is good.

Groundhog holds the knowledge of death without dying
for man needs help from every creature born.
Will the holocaust wipe the smile off the face of our romantic comedy
or will laughter outlast the outburst?
About the dark times will there be singing?
Yes, there will be singing and some of the songs will be sidesplitting.

Solving the murder reveals the city. Nature of kinships and economic
      sustenance,
who loves whom and why, when things happened and how they lost
      and found themselves
in what happened. Because a meter-making argument cannot appear
from nothingness, purposelessness, just cold.
He does not go where he was supposed to go. He is in the desert,
      Sonoran desert, counting cactus buds and ocotillo blooms.
This is the afterlife for which he has always longed.

Grey Area

The Truth of the matter
Amidst Lies getting fatter
Is that THIS will all shatter,
And one day we'll fall

We'll master Disaster
And crash that much faster
Our remains left scattered
In the Ruin of All

Premium Member Searching For Area 51

Dragon likes secrets but can’t keep them… UH UH! No way!
But he’s also, often confused by what he sees every single day.
Now he got interested in Area 51, and wanted a meet and greet…
Of aliens, so when he disappeared we sought him in the streets.

We checked out Hwy 51, mile marker 51, and the 51 mph speed limit sign.
I know it’s weird, but for us 51 mph is perfect, for giving speeding fines.
We checked with the Sheriff of Crazyland cause of the history they’ve had.
We were finally, really worried, and about to list him in a lost and found ad.

He told us of visiting with an alien, earlier, on a silver motorcycle, here about.
Silver jumpsuit, helmet, boots, and silver all the rest… so we put an APB out!
I was getting more than worried… As panicked, I was very quickly becoming!
Next time I’ll listen, when my little widdle Dragon starts his mouth a running!

Suddenly in the front yard, in the sky, came a flash of silver and green light!
And out popped The Green Lantern plus the Silver Surfer, in all their might!
From behind the Silver Surfer, Dragon leaped into my open and inviting arms. 
Naturally with us both, landing flat upon the ground… stopping all my alarms.

The Silver Surfer had given Dragon a fun ride, but Dragon had gotten kinda lost!
He’d looked away, and Dragon being curious, had at that moment, wandered off.
Then Dragon was kidnapped by an alien gang, who wanted to sell him to a Zoo!
In Alpha Centauri! But his fire saved him, it became way too hot, when it blew!

Dragon was scared, as he learned not all alien’s are good, as he bowed his head.
Plus flying a space ship isn’t good, when fire blows all around, it has been said!
Thankfully, they’d needed an SOS, which had saved our little sweet Dragon guy.
Then the Silver Surfer & Green Lantern, brought our little one home, now wise!

Of course a naptime was in order, as we tucked him into his soft, safe bed, too. 
But he now knew: Alien Super Heroes do exist, and that dreams can come true…
And to never go anywhere without, his family, with him, but we can now say…
For a Hero Dragon and his new friends, it was an Interstellar Great News Day!

Some bad guys learned that: Dragon Heroes are just too hot to handle! No cliché!
And Dragon was good… for the rest of the Day! Thank goodness! And Hooray!

The Grey Area

I saw the tears in her eyes,
Not because she was crying,
But an imprint,
From a hundred cries before.

A single mom,
Doing the best she could,
But she was far,
From evening life's score.

Her speech was slurred,
Probably from,
One too many drinks,
Drowning her sorrows away.

I almost,
Overlooked her completely,
Cause I couldn't,
Understand the words she had to say.

I could of ignored her,
Told her,
She wasn't welcome,
Cause I had no time to waste

But she had with her,
Her son,
Who despite being a bit embarrassed,
Did his best to explain her case.

So I decided to hear her out,
And despite my skeptic thoughts,
I decided,
To give her a chance.

Something about her appearance,
Told me she needed a break,
From people telling her,
There excuses for can'ts

The next month,
She came back,
Bright an early,
Ready to honor our deal,

I was encouraged,
Thinking how misleading,
Prejudices were,
From that which is real.

Here she was,
A good mom,
Just trying to give,
Her son something better,

And I almost,
Made her life harder,
By believing my misconceptions,
To the letter.

I learned a valuable lesson,
That day
You can't judge a book,
By it's cover.

And sometimes,
It's hard to tell the difference,
From a fall down drunk,
And an ill fortuned good mother.

The Metropolitan Area

The metropolitan area consists of everything like theaters, museums, restaurants, and a lot of hotels and skyscrapers. But most of all, the cities are filled with public transportation(city buses, subways, trains, taxi cabs, and airports, e.g.) and a lot of luxurious vehicles. Whether anyone is in either New York City, Los Angeles, Dallas, Tokyo, Toronto, London, or wherever, the city is everybody’s lives. It seems that all metropolitan areas are considered awesome vacation spots, even for tourists. The metropolitan areas from the United States of America and the world each have a lot of famous landmarks, especially those of the Gateway Arch, the Empire State Building, the Golden Gate Bridge, Big Ben, etc. All downtown areas are best known for attracting would-be city folks to go to, and that’s a real fact. Well, frankly, all cities from the United States of America and beyond are harder to get away from, even in the Los Angeles area of Hollywood,California. And imagine my surprise when I found out that Downtown Ft. Worth, Texas, has a movie theater  and a Barnes & Noble book store. Being from the metropolitan area has its awesome advantages, especially when he or she has been influenced by the hip-hop culture and the urban culture. Well, I guess this is just the essence of urban living. The cities also have cooler downtown apartments in the downtown areas, especially in Dallas and in Ft. Worth. Boy, if I were to visit either Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Venice, Italy, London, England, Charlotte, North Carolina, or wherever, I’d stay there for a week or tow; I’d bring back some souvenirs. I wonder if the cities will still be there and there’s going to be more awesome cities in the future, Well, I guess I’ll never know. We’re all very cool for a bunch of city folks. And when he or she is in the city, it's like driving on the city streets, especially when he or she is driving either a Nissan Armada, a Cadillac Escalade EXT, or one of those BMW vehicles. I’m looking forward to residing in one of the metropolitan areas either out of state or another country, if that were to happen, that would be great.

Border Area (Grenzgebiet)

"This bilingual poem is for people who live between two borders and who have two decide
everyday how to manage their day between bombs and hatred, even if they want to live in
peace."


>GrenzenBorders<
seem to be boundless
if boundless rage
stirs up immeasurably hatred
and nevertheless
erstwhile limited people
open their minds for borderfree thinking
for blowing up the border walls
between frontiers
to be finitely boundless.

The Grey Area

When in between
     the black and white,
It's hard to know
     what's wrong from right.

And though they say
     to trust your heart,
Compassion's eye
     might skip this part.

The things in grey
     can sometimes be,
The truth you need 
      and hard to see.

So answers sought
     that lie between,
With open mind
     can then be seen.

The Fourth Moon From the Planet Quadro-Sigma-Nine Gaffa-Area of Space

their is a train
who shipments rely
who deliverest
for us all
on this train
who supplies
these counterfeiters
double-cross us all
they take from peter
to give to paul
casears men
hide in bushes
to overtake
these wicked souls
the Damsel is distressed
the conducter see's her
he stops the train
to help her out
yet be hold
the white hats stand by
what is this
their being duked by they're own
he crosses-lines
to become the bad-guy
they grab the lute
and then there gone
days and days
the white-hats searchest
they go from town to town
til their wires sent
100 white hats
are ah proaching
the nerves of the blackhats
are made of steel
they hide the loot in the green barn
the equipment they took
is stored their too
the storms a raging
it causes delays
the black-hats
ride thru out the storm
the white-hats stop
to talk to Jesus
they don't know their prayers heard
Superman traveled
thru a time portal
he heard the prayers
and answered for Jesus
he grabs the Loot
and recovers the storage
he save the day
while the white-hats pray!
