Best Choice Of Words Poems


Premium Member The Look In Your Eye
When the sky is a 
   sequestered sanctuary,
and the clouds croon 
for sinking star-beams,
listen to the euphoric hymns of silence,
for seething storms throned 
beneath rainbow castles
shall never obscure the 
crystalline colors of compassion,
amidst thickened fangs 
of dwelling darkness,
constantly trying to

Acrostic Memory

Acrostics introduced in fifth grade on a rainy winter afternoon
Careful crafted choice of words written in lyric cadence hues
Rhythmic flow like music class - songs of skaters waltzes spin
Out of tumbling imagination’s chaos form corrals intention’s whims
Shaping thoughts that rumble ramble like errant spitball...

Be careful 'bout the things you say.
Make certain how they sound;
For other people may not know,
And spread their thoughts around;

Expounding on your choice of words,
And how they saw your manner.
It's best to weigh your words, my friend,
Than pay the price of candor;

For oft when people...

Homeless Words
I see beautiful words
homeless and needing a hand
I reach for my pad and pen
these times are tough
my choice of words are thin
Perhaps they choose me
tell me exactly what to say
These words we help
they also help us
they inspire us everyday...

Rap Has No Ethnicity
Rapping has no Ethnicity be ye 
Greek, Jew, Afro, White, Hispanic, 
Chinese, Japanese, Other.

Yo man, go rap out the Soul.
Tell your story, cuss the enemy
In ways they can't understand.

These are the times when you
Get on the Move to Groove into
Real-time electronic technology!

Don't just go boom,...

Respect Amidst Diversity - the Hexsonnetta
We each define ourselves
by choice of words we speak,
the things we do, or seek,
within our minds they delve.
We cannot say some elves
have tricked our minds when weak.

We can’t presume to know
so practice some restraint,
or make faux pas then faint.
To you my friends, I show
I care...

French Invasion: Whine and Cheese
Since the bloody Battle of Hastings
When 'Arold got killed by French Bill
We've seen an endless invasion of French
And I've just about had my fill

Don't we have enough words of our own
In this wonderful language of ours?
- To seek and find le mot juste
Dunt take much...

Jealousy Upon's One's Soul
Jealousy upon One's Soul

Jealousy comes in many types of forms and dark faces
It has many aspects and traces of different colors,

All the evil seeds can be so contrite, evil and leave some traces
How some people can be so volatile and protrude others,

 In today's society...

Premium Member About the Hell's Translation
Soupers might have noticed that from about one year I am going on in translating Dante's Hell in english with rhymes. Why I am doing this? First of all because Dante is a genius of about 700 years ago and has founded the italian language...

"Species Nova" 

A letter from Horace
today, I read, 
he sends his ample
split dichotomy 

he’s a writer with 
novel ambitions 
to shake the world 
of reality up a little

make his mark 
he will be read 
poets are extraordinary
creatures, when extracting

charms and chimaeras 
out from their heads
but...

The Nail On the Wall
A story about a young boy and his father,
The boy was smart, diligent but hot tempered,
When vexed he has no choice of words,
He is careless even if that gets you annoyed.

One day he realized he had said something bad
So he walk straight to his dad,
'I...

In the multitude of counsellors there is life,
             Running away implies stabbing yourself with your knife.
