Best Brokering Poems
Cocoon
"Cocoon"
They say...
a New World
traces over the old,
leaving the unaware,
erased, far behind
the old unaware,
left far behind,
crawls the walls
in its web of lies
spinning suspect
strings of silk
in the air
glistening diamond nets
slick and sticky with the sense
of capturing a life
drowning in teardrops
that...

The Whips of History - 3We will be the trustees of life's passions...
The villas of villainous Rome are burning behind me
from Capua to the Cisalpine Alps the skyline is smoldering from her savage sins,
monuments of luxury built, furnished, and sustained by generations of misery
crumbling in the aftermath of egalitarian...

Pride Before a FallPutin rides Russia’s pride
Cheers ring nation wide
Swept along by the tide
No matter, Putin’s stride
Putin derides all global calls
Jeering at the soft flung balls
High on the home-pep of it all
Playing pride before he falls
Before today Putin was creaking
Students raised aside his speaking
Syrian brokering coated his ceiling
Olympic...

Brokered ConventionThe secret meetings taking place
Big Business and the rich
Planning changes to the voting
Letting them choose which
Candidates that were rebuffed
and no longer in the thick
People spoke "don't want their kind
now Big Business pulls a trick
Candidates convention votes
will then be cast aside
Brokered deals with shady scams
rewarding those...

Ode
Inferiority Is ComplexShe had a masters degree,
from Trinity Cambridge,
was brokering deals in the city,
with overheard talk re. financial leverage.
Whilst I’d a diploma
from a,
“technical” college.
A photographic memory,
from heart she could recite,
the Shakespeare plays and
the complete periodic table,
and her port and whisky bottles had their...

Prose Poetry
FacadeHalfway through learning life you find therein the games
Played by the oblivious and those who made names
Then your simplicity in view begins being challenged
As make believe is by hard facts rearranged
That society is both with and without bearing
For the old warmongering and...

Lyric
Faustian BargainA smashing sound stirs, they “bang the gavel.”
Concessions granted; court begins to unravel.
The eight need votes, an agreement was reached.
Abandoning rightwing values once preached
Tenure, cast it as a repudiation of his failure to lead.
Accusations of advancing policies, this day he’ll heed.
Policies that harm American...

Bartered QuillConsidering me a talented, aspiring shill
My muse loaned me a feathery quill
Brokering her wisdom, leasing her skill
With embroidered frills each barb with beauty did distill
Lithographer's vision, a graceful dividend to reveal
Depreciating vane my artistic license to bill
Hollow shaft gilded so her availing light can the...

KnowBeating euphoria
in its dense mass,
energising to
overcome
cocooning
in the rubble
of remininse,
swallowing gumdrops
that grow bones,
while brokering deals
with a devil
and in a grotto
spinning the prism,
watching
as a kaleidoscope
of life,
glimmers by,
silent pictures
illuminated and
reflected from time,
strafe the walls
While drawing a line
between all pleasures
and agonies,
now run
out of thought,
as dogs of a devil,
snap...

Blank verse
Though Amply Rested I Still YawnThough amply rested, I still yawn
And feel energized after
light exercise doth spawn
break through viz mental impasse,
where endeavor to coax
germinating ideas to sprout
about as successful as
buzzfeeding, jump/kick starting
rooting brown lawn
to whether drought.
Long fostering literary creativity
analogous to prying open
figurative curtain drawn
shut tight within
thy noggin...

Until NowUntil Now
David J Walker
This poem was waiting for
The right paper before
It is said
It is Written
of
Printed plain words
until now
unspoken
Thoughts and hearts in clouds
Crowds of dry denizens crying in the dust
Until now
Unbroken
On the edge of ether and...

loss by your own hand
it's 12 am and i cant breathe
my mind, flashing through images and moments and pockets of space and time
a restless energy
a redemptive ache
as i scream the name of a distant god
its 1 am and the silence is so loud
at the computer, i take my first...
