Best Catchphrase Poems

In some circles, I’m like that comedian
Rodney Dangerfield, whose catchphrase
was, “I don’t get no respect.” 
I can’t say scorn doesn’t faze me.
I’ve always been terribly misunderstood  
and misjudged.
Some just made up their stubborn minds
and haven’t budged!
For being persistent and hardy
I’ve been described as a...

I'll always be a poet
I'll always breathe
dance and weave
I'll always be a poet
who wanders into the shadows
where I will live and I die
and in those moments of pain
I'll drink to him
yes I'll drink to my hero in the sky
my dad, who left his body
some 15...

Tech-No-Logic

Of keyboard and swipe
a screens deliberation circuit electronic
in metal skin and paper thin
push button hums the chord of plastic
tech-no-logical inventum
such marvels to grind the wheel
impartial utensils the battery static
a signal from pre-molded concrete
sends the flip switch light 
a barrage of city steel

Perfidious evolution
camera slapped ready...

Acclaimed Italian-American actor, Al Pacino
           His brooding intensity, a raging inferno

He forcefully exclaimed "Hooha!" in 'Scent of A Woman'

The canvas of my mind
Is clouded by 
The foggy haze 
Of insomniac eyes
  My once rational
Thoughts becoming
More disjointed. 
 My tired soul aches while
Searching for peace, it’s been looking
For since the day it was born.
  The bags under my insomniac eyes
Are the constant...

One by one those behind the catchphrase
"An end to discrimination"
Took away freedom of association,
Freedom of choice,
The freedom to form groups with any rules that,
Might seem to exclude anyone at all,
Including the totally boring or the repetitive prankster.

Club after club were forced to give up on...

"I've never rode a train Mom." 
he said with eyes lit up.
So, we bought two round-trip tickets
 to my mother's house.
(She lives a short walk away from the train station.)
Our trip would only be forty minutes 
but that would be long enough to say
"We've rode...

Myrtle Parker

Myrtle Parker lived on the Riviera,
That’s the English one not the French.
Her favourite tipple is Red Currant Cider,
Only beverage her thirst would quench.

Never did she marry no husband,
Preference for life single and free,
Though kept two doggy companions,
Twin Westies, Florence and Zebedee.

Miss Parker was a...

Do not steal from us the love and attention you and I deserve
Despite the way my innermost thoughts you paraphrase
Let us nourish and brandish the love we serve and preserve. 

Stand firm in the face of challenges you and I attempt to unnerve
In settings and...

like a catchphrase
the words
I’m sorry echo
every day, the same story
you are always sorry
for once be careful
then I will not have to listen to your
“I’m sorry” 
tomorrow

Perched on figurative shoulder...
taking devil's advocate stance...,
with sharp eyed cognizance
of course Joe King abidance!

Wild eyed traitor Joe Schmoe,
albeit Democrat subjects himself to grow
wing skepticism at impeachment show
whip lashed, viz strapping jock who stow
weapons of mashed destruction
expects at least one rotten tomato,
or "mother's petrified pop slop,

Let me tell you about my heroes
I'm in full appreciation these are either niche or unpopular (how devilishly bold of me!)
Cast you mind back to a time and a place (haha you can't - it's really specific!)
It's the 1980s, England (ok, I'm not that clever,...

He was driving a Chevrolet with a roof that would never shut 
His car was shimmering but some strings needed to be cut 
There was rubbish that he desired nevermore 
Left behind on Road 66 with an unrequited Lenore 
Her dress was covered in sand...

Acta Non Verba... Speaks Volumes

The above ad hoc Latin catchphrase,
(concatenated with two English words),
I regale chance reader
immediately sets ablaze
title of poem with timeless adage,
aptly suits this solitary

older male, whose daze
spent on planet Earth
aimless curriculum vitae
configures a zigzag maze
significant blocks of time
poorly aye now appraise

The day still fresh in my mind
weather escapes me but it's your words
i find, not a father or a daddy
guess i was blind
you made me feel hollow leaving me behind.
And your life is so great now isn't it
i heard you really look it but what...
