Best Bounds Poems


There Are No Bounds To Where We Poets Go
Where on Earth or far beyond do we poets go, you ask. 
My thoughts willingly stretch my imagination with this task.
I would reply...in any direction our ink chooses to flow.
To the light of dawn or to dark telltale shadows of Poe
There are no boundaries that...

Out-Of-Bounds
I like you but I know we are impossible
The thoughts of you are unreasonable
You'd never look at me that way
No matter what I think or say
You are what I call rare
Is it because you show that you care?
Is it cuz you show good friend qualities
Now...

Premium Member Outside the Bounds of Sister Cecilia
OUTSIDE THE BOUNDS OF SISTER CECILIA

the best firecracker 
otherworldly seven hues
hiss, cackle, kaboom

Yes, dear ones, I want to own a pen that produces perfect penmanship, the curlicue calligraphy that Sister Cecilia would have hated. Each color, as my mood dictates would jettison from my mind...

Bondage To No Bounds
Twenty score years ago, and some
The evil merchants crossed the waves
Gleeful as they raped and pillaged
Their cargoes of dark-skinned slaves

En route to the land of Liberty
Where all men are created equal
In their most frightening and wildest nightmares
They could never have envisioned the sequel

After four centuries...

Navigating Outward Bounds of Relationships
Volition, orientation familiarization aahing
and oohing within restrictive paradigm molding
inviolable honorable gentility -
flagrantly, desirously, clearly boyz abandoning
willfully skirting, panting (heavily)
forfeiting abominably, (no Joe King) abiding

chomping at bit, damning delineated, or obscure
parameters, between one acceding
Earthlinked selfish living
psychosexual pining human bing,
and another ardently avowedly ambitious
altruistic agent provocateur (lol)

Bounds
Bounds

Over and entercircled, grasping tighter and tighter
Penetrating the lines of my eternity
Orbiting to seize all that I have left
Desirous for more
Neverending infliction 
No slumber shall I ever have
Until the bounds are pacified
How can I claim what I can not see?
The preference of bounds has no...

Hold On Tightly, When Life Takes Its Great Leaps And Bounds


Hold on tightly, when life takes its great leaps and bounds
this old blue marble is not all sweet virgin ground
strewn about are horrendously nasty pitfalls
awaiting the fruits of world's constant tempting calls
to dive right on...

Times' Leaps and Bounds
AS TIME MARCHES ON
								 
every older  person without a doubt 
has a spark of youth that screams to get out.

too old to dance all night without a care
or risk doing damage you can never repair.

too young to feel I’ve grown any more wise
too old...

Premium Member Ignorance, No Bounds
The only thing
More frustrating than
Ignorant people,

And their rush to prove
Themselves as
Such by their own words

And actions, is
The fact that, despite your
Attempts to help

Clarify it for them, they will
Never, ever see
ThemSELVES that way ...

It makes you strain
To imagine just what kind
Of people THEY

Consider as ignorant, and
On...

What Bounds My Sould
What bound my soul is as hard as bromite
i might not be so intricate with words 
i leave sixth sense condescending
my metaphors absolutely power driven
you'd be using Greek mythology if you tying to describe me
like a deadly earthquake i erupt your souls from poverty, exacerbate...

Out of Bounds
Ilene took an hard look at Dennis
Whose shorts were designed to play tennis
Though he beamed with pride
His balls bounced outside
Perhaps he should try serving Guinness!...

Life Is a Baseball Out of Bounds
Life is a baseball out 
of bounds. 
When grounded in foul 
actions, words, or thoughts 
it becomes a strike, 
but can't get you out. 
Line driven into 3rd base seats 
may hurt somebody, but usually 
causes amusement. 
Over swinging makes a big mistake, 
for when...
