Best Centrepiece Poems

And from the tree of knowledge, a serpent slid into view 
He’d seen it all before, our future he already knew 
Moses on some mountain, taking down the tablets god drew
Jesus climbing Calvary, being mocked by fellow Jews 

Later history repeats, Galileo scanned the sky...

Zone A is a flightless bee turning a corner on a wheel. A glowing wheel. Wow such atomic prowess of stripes. But entering under the ocean and travelling at speed is a submerged undetected mobile monster whose instruction is to annihilate an entire side of...

Patriotism is in the air,
And sentiments high,
Cataclysm is over,
Liberation heaves a sigh!

Insufferable inequality,
Now is ineffable ecstasy,
Undeterred determination,
And honourable judiciary !


Providential independence,
Undisputed Unification,
Living to credence,
Spirit of nationalism!

All men created equal, by creator endowed with certain,
Unalienable rights- life, liberty and pursuit of happiness!

I gulp a flame of desire
At the sight of your ecclesiastical attire
Being proxy for a pacifier
That elicits a comfort for my quagmire

Your smile, your smile 
A sun in a darkened profile
A moon that illuminates the eventide. 
Oh lily of the while
You let your movement twist...

Eager children await sweet treats
And colourful bags that have been filled
As well as pumpkins lined up to greet

Their tricks make the treats increase
All of the kids are thrilled
Eager children await sweet eats

A Jack-o-lantern is the centrepiece
And a black cat has just appeared
Pumpkins flicker along the...

...dedicated to Billy Collins


We're standing on the Dining Table, 
Salt and Pepper by ourselves, 
Tablecloth is in the drier, 
Dinner Plates still on the shelves. 
Later on there'll be a banquet, 
fifteen guests, an all black-tie, 
candlelight and lots of flowers, 
supper time is drawing...

A large pile of elephant excrement is neither resembling a tortoiseshell coat or a brown handbag but playing dodge ball on a busy motorway could be considered to be akin to a wonky attic vibrating at over 10000 kilowatts a second. Dare to cross a...

Was this a bold  endeavour or worst-case high risk plot?
 In one sense I was caught between two poles apart  concerns.
One must never underestimate indeed trivialise a devilish 
difficult decision.
A decision that may return to  haunt me without recess.
Rumination and recrimination during...

She is the face of perfection
Facet for affection
Divine connection
A woman's desired reflection
The ideal direction
She is the forest, the rain
On the throne she reigns
She is the wind, the sea
As far as the eye can see
The little things remind you of her humanity
A laugh, a yawn,
A smile,...

Nestled high upon a pillowing cloud
Hidden from prying eyes
Surrounded by fragrantly perfumed blooms
The imagination runs then flies
Balconies envelop the building within
French doors that open out wide
A welcoming feel takes over
Pulling you deep inside
Marble floors that are glossy and shine
Collectable art hangs from each wall
Chandeliers that...

Does it matter the situation,
The time, or place of year?
No matter the fierce or fair sky,
The weather heightens my fear;
	The constant whisperings of the wind,
	The sharp slap of the rain,
	Frostbitten lips, too bitter to kiss,
	Their conspiring condemns me insane.

Flew from the nest of squawking beaks,
To...
