Best Assignment Poems

It was “Death” you drew.
You rolled that slip of paper
between your fingers 
thin as onionskin, 
and dropped it in your pocket.
Pastel lady, 

did you wish to spare 
us? You fluttered fingers 
over the basket, and drew out 
“Patio Party,” 
a subject we must address 
before...

skirted, wind blown from afar  
I was not to be late for the affair  

bells struck midnight  
and there were two left in in the square  
twelve strokes to signal we were there  

we circled right  
looking for a...

I’m from liberty and justice; kindness and sadness. 
I’m from freedom and victory; presidential elections and offices.
I’m from celebration of freedom and fireworks; and a wonderful melting pot. 
I’m from an eagle and an anthem, which happily plays on.

I’m from life and death, and of...

What is your assignment?  Why are you here?
Do you know your purpose and are you prepared? 

Many of us are lost and in a state of confusion 
We don't know our purpose and have come to no conclusions 
We need to realize that it's...

I saw a movie today
it was old and black and white
Looking for a memory that 
never left my sight
An old woman quite insane
but less than fear and fright
A subject in a story called Classic
from another time and life
I wondered of her role being
of what would...

inspired by and shamelessly ripped off of "Easter, 1916" by William Butler Yeats

I have heard from hushed voices
Of connections new and old
Underneath the light of the candle
About the table we were told.
About the retribution through blood
Brought on by discovery
Through a night in the pub
From a...

Godzilla, Sunday afternoon movie
The words do not match, groovy
Think I'm turning Japanese?
Think my life is much ease?-Please!
Green lizard toy causes anxiety.

Assignment



Assignment of motivation, I imbibed in lectures 
Could be written, later too, in inscriptions and papers


I’ve found one sister, motivated, by self nature
Morning, day, evening, all the time, is same for her


To provide service for guests, she quickens, as wind
Delivering, mind, hands and smiles curing...

The Seed—a Fiction Narrative Verse by James E. Lee Sr a Alexander Chee ASSIGNMENT

The situation is a fond memory;
More precise a fallacy;
I’m always…
Wasn’t all that aware
Nor, did I care
Family members most
Saw that I was an oddity
Around the teen years
Didn’t partake of alcohol, drugs nor marijuana
I...

Where life is a Primrose

      My wisdom
With Proclamation
    And Blessing

The Assignment

The Assignment 
I understood 
Whether it was bad or good
The Assignment was to do 
What I was instructed to do 
What happens if you don't have a clue 
How do you lean not towards your own understanding?
When life becomes so demanding.
How do you bounce...

I really like this project 
That my lit teacher gave me.
It's as if you told a sailor
"You must go join the navy."

I wish we did more poem in class,
I think they're pretty cool.
Because there are so many 
Interesting poetic tools.

A hammer will hit the reader...

Minutes eleven
soon it will be seven,
time is ticking, 
I like knitting,
I have a horse,
do you like my porsche,
time is divine,
will you be mine?...
