Best Cleverer Poems


Premium Member A Poet Plus Teacher- PS

Was it a sheer accident that I became a poet?
Poetry, I didn’t pursue, rather it cropped up
As a late-night guest, quite unexpected.
A teacher’s career, I have been bent upon
And prefer to be known more as a teacher than a poet.

In my eyes, teachers are a venerable sort,
Happy that I could belong to that ‘special’ lot,
Instilling in young ones - newer insights gleaned,
Enriching their lives - with atoms of knowledge pooled,
Brightening their paths - with millions of lanterns lit,
Rowing them away - from the perilous shoals of life,
And leading them to be anchored on safer shores!
A teacher sure stands taller above,
Every other mortal who serves!!

Numerous are the guise a teacher has to put on,
And cleverer the tricks she has to play,
To tackle the wards in her all-out care,
And launch them out into a world to fare. 

I have played all at once myriad roles,
More of a mentor and not just a tutor,
A physician who heals, a nurse who tends,
A parent who cares or a pal who shares,
A patron who supports or a lawyer who argues,
A scholar who learns and a master who trains.


As Christ taught his disciples - with parables many,
As Socrates instructed the youth - through endless queries,
As Sullivan led Keller - to the new dawn of light,
As Aesop enlightened kids - with countless tales,
I strove to be a TEACHER.
An erudite soul with a mission!
A sculptor who sees an angel, veiled within a rock!
An architect building an edifice to last a lifetime!
A warrior uncompromising in war,
On Ignorance – the most ignoble foe!

I don’t know where I presently stand,
Nor do I know how my students would rate me,
Though often floundered or failed to act,
In the manner I ever so longed to do,
I would rather be a TEACHER all my life,
A ‘guru’ out and out, from hilt to heel.
And I would wear that mantle with pride!

Can't wait

Getting excited now
After the long wait
My time has come now 

Free to move on with my life
I am no more the narcissists wife
Peace of mind is here to stay
I have recovered in every way

Have so many things to explore
With lots of new people around me, I adore
No more being ignored and unloved
I will open so many good doors

I am a different person now
Stronger cleverer than ever before
So off I go into my new world
I am happier than ever before

Premium Member Tired of Explaining

Tired of explaining      (a twist from ND. poem)

Ignoring the presence of my stillness==
As you walk with bitterness== 
Your radiance is no longer true== 
A melody with seduction over due== 
The song so bad wiped out by you== 
Rotating my abdomen== 
From the soul==
The worms inside== 
They all die==
Under your control== 
Separating the way==

Is as if though== 
All the beauty in the world== 
Up and lived==
You are more than I need== 
Drowning in my own abyss== 
Judging you one==
Right after the other== 
A hellish so profound== 
Revelations passed so suddenly== 
Expression of limbo, I replay== 
The revenge== 
The revoke== 
Suffer catting my oxygen==

They illness== 
Then lifeless== 
They identify== 
Then disgust== 
Never play the sensitive== 
Feel my needs==
Like the wound full of abscess==
A sore to never go away==
Yes like the illness== 
Then lifeless== 
Dropped addict== 
These shivers down my spine==
Identify, escape, abuse of certain== 
Announcing it even more== 
Proof that I am found== 
Out of love==
 
The mind finally receives==
Revolution with open eyes== 
The heart is trapped to proceed== 
Cleverer than the open skies==
Old sweat glands in my hand== 
Retiring the mind== 
The best of my heart has no stand== 
Died from your retrieving cries== 
Advancing to my knowledge== 
The darkness that you lend== 
DISCLOSURE== 
to== 

In the depth of your eyes ==
I run before you hypnotize== 

Oblivious to the Valley of your wits==
 
Refusing to relive the song== 
Feeling that are gone==

Never will it feel right==

I still feel the rotation==
Exhale went out your soul== 

Exiting far from sight==
Revoke an end to your light== 

A kiss of death to your good night==
A kiss of death to your good night==

We All Make Mistakes

-I make mistakes like the next man. In fact, being-forgive me- rather cleverer than most 
men, my mistakes tend to be correspondingly huger.-
 
I've done a lot of bad things in my life, many I hate to speak of
The only being that knows of all my wrongdoings is the man above
I've watched my friend die, cheated on previous girlfriends, and told lies
How can you commit so much treachery when very little time flies
Lord please forgive me for my sins, for we both know I'm pure at heart
I've done so many bad things, I can put them on a wall and play darts
I'm different from most people, because I learn from my mistakes
Give me a chance to go back and erase them, I swear I'd do whatever it takes
Too bad, Richard, you can't go back in time, what's done is done
Don't let those crimes stop you from being the man you later become
I still apologize for having an affair with my old girlfriend's friend
That one night shouldn't have happened, it began but never came to an end
I could've left her alone, I just had to bite my lip and cheat on my ex
What goes around comes around, I knew I'd feel that pain next
I knew she liked me, still I let her kiss me behind your back
If anything would hit you with a blow, I knew it would be that
Well that's too bad because you won't even read this
I was gonna testify and confess, but the flame hasn't been lit
Yes I got it out I feel great
I just wanted the world to know We All Make Mistakes

Sounds In My Soul

As a young man I was not very smart,
for brain cells they were never my game,
but I did what I could for without any doubt
through hard work I had ample to gain.

The cleverer folk seemed to learn things with ease
while I had to struggle indeed.
My memory it seemed so pathetic at times
that I had to replant every seed.

But working things out just came normal to me
and this is what carried me through.
Instead of just knowing the things I'd been told
I'd learn what the reason was too!

My total approach was directed by this
for to seek was the way I would gain.
It just didn't sink in what they meant me to know,
though I found it myself with some pain.

So the things I know now are unique to me
bought with searching, acceptance and time.
I know that my views are the bricks of my mind,
foundations built up in my prime.

But the things that I feel are the sounds in my soul,
they're the voices that all play their part.
No knowledge or learning can wash them away
for these things are entrenched in my heart.

 A bond strong indeed to all mankind’s seed
where my being is mingled with soul,
the place I must go when my God makes it so
for it’s there, that I have my prime role.

Sometimes to share in everyone's care
but at times just to offer my hand
or to help someone there to release the despair
that they found as they entered this land.

Sometimes just a word is still needed here
to convince folk that death's not the end.
A few personal thoughts shared only by them
to prove they’ve still bonds with their friends.

At times evil people who never were nice
will cause people harm though the veil
and if not deterred from their mischievous ways
leave hate and despair in their trail.

It’s then that my strength is assisted by God
in fighting his cause with my mind,
for closing the pathways to evil‘s intent
takes an army of goodness combined.

No master's degree that I never would gain
could help bridge the path to the soul,
but the voices inside that you feel with your heart
Is the way that lead straight to the 'whole'.

So be not afraid of those who would scoff
then denounce you and chuckle with mirth, 
let them proclaim that it's all in your mind,
for it is…. and it's been there since birth.

The Bleeding Machine

This world is ours
If we put our heads together thats cleverer
The Media pins the masses down like wrestlers
Biased to the westerner
Showing of the worst of Africa
Reporting Ebola to Malaria
But missing out the beauty
with intentional duty
Recording wars and mass hysteria
They show the poor with bowls on the floor beggin like Oliver
Like they are unlucky
BBC stands for Blacks Built this Country
ITV stands for I Try Very  hard to keep propaganda out of my yard
Scaring us because
To them a revolution would be scarier
They want our melting pot to boil over
Putting us in the middle like Moldova
Controlling tax paying dogs
Different breeds of terrier
Groundhog day, CD skips, Playback Error
Same phrase everyday 'War On Terror'
They want to fight a word
They must think i'm dumber than i am
They have transparency in their NWO plans
Young Ukrainians dying by Russian hands
The Kremlin is too deep into the elitist pockets
Who are we to understand?
What reasons ring true for invading neighbouring lands
All we see is the devastation of the bombs after they land
War all over our world
I don't need a revelation verse to see
Your better with a Holy book than TOWIE on the TV
Move Teflon minded take nothing literally
Believe half of what you hear... none of what you see
They fly bombs over seas for war creates a sea of cash that we never see
Billions of dead bodies floating in the sea from past War
Through the eyes of the World i see misery
As the media work for the Elite 
And graciously **** you and me

Cleverer, Or More Clever...

We make motions, to fight lack of resistance,
That are recognized by only ourselves.
- Motion noticed - We're still certain of our stance
So to the depths of emotion our fight delves.

Forever and a day, plus an hour or two
Led to hollow war waged out of control.
- Isn't all we need - a couple or a few
For a mist of lies and deceit to slowly roll?

Follow me down to the ragged, shallow
Explosion-torn landscape we live in.
While there we'll find corpses to hallow,
Or those dying quickly, wasted and thin.

But Cleverer, Or More Clever still,
Is the addition of your friendship,
- When your love is this powerful. - 
Frighteningly harsh, like stinging whip.

You've never been closer than the here and now.
But while I advance, you move farther away.
I'll take what I can't and give back the "how;"
Let short-lived loneliness bring what it may.

Happy Purple Day

Once upon a time my eye fell on some videos and pictures,
On the Net I saw a lovely, such a young and beauteous creature...
But, of course, it's not her stature, and it's not her noble features 
That gave me an inspiration 'cause I  know she's like a preacher,

She is an enlightener who can change the world;
She is even cleverer than someone who's old;
She's worth lots of gratitude 'cause her heart's not cold;
She's a blessing, she's a present that is brought by God!

Now I'd like to say some phrases that are coming from my soul:
Cassidy, I know that you play a considerable role!
I hope now your mood is festive and your pains have flown away
'Cause today you're celebrating something special - Purple Day! 

Something special is for people who can often be oppressed,
Something special is for people who can often feel depressed...
You have made it, wondrous darling, for those people who are sad;
They are gloomy, full of sorrow 'cause they are thought to be mad...

It's unfair... You understood it when you were a little child.
You've been brave enough to struggle! Yes, someone is still so wild...
But your wisdom and your mercy - all this cannot become less!
That is why you are successful, and you'll always have success!

I believe that you'll be even more successful than before!
And I wish you not to tremble (in all senses) any more!
You're an angel of your country, you deserve to have the best
That your destiny can give you! Verse is coming from my breast!

You were born to bring the justice, and my words - to gladden you!
I believe they will be healers for your soul if you feel blue.
I believe they'll make you happy, and I know it will be fair
'Cause when YOURS appear in my mind, I feel pleasure in the air!

I looked forward to the moment when I could congratulate
My inspirer. Now it has come! It is such a special date!
It's the twenty-sixth of March, so it's high time for me to say: 
"Cassidy, the hero of the nation, happy Purple Day!"

Dinosaurs V Meteor: the Rematch

They said that it could not be done
They warned it would go wrong
Debates were held across the globe
Discussions tough and long

Science won with madcap plans
To change the world forever
They cloned a bunch of dinosaurs
And made them really clever

The end result as you’d expect
The Dinos knew their worth
And quickly they reclaimed their place
As rulers of the earth

A hundred years, a hundred more
They grew in size and smarts
Determined they would make the best
Of this new given start

They loved and learned and had a blast
They lived without regrets
Until the day the dinosaurs
Discovered quite a threat

With eyes upon the stars above
These creatures down below
Looked up and saw approaching fast
A dreaded age-old foe

The meteor was twelve miles long
Another five in girth
And without doubt, this chunk of rock
Was heading straight for Earth

So history, it seemed to them
Was doomed to a repeat
Just when Jurassic 2.0
Was getting really sweet

Enter now our heroes two
Our saviours of the day
Claiming they could make this problem
Swiftly go away

Professor Rex and Dr Steg
Were cleverer than most
Though being humble dinosaurs
They didn’t like to boast

The took the stand, addressed the world
To calm the publics fears
They had a plan, one they’d prepared
Throughout their whole careers

“Don’t worry friends” The doctor said
His face set proud and grim
“Though we were bested long ago
This time we’re going to win”

“Before we fought with tooth and claw
We now have brains and wit
Last time destruction came to us
Now we take the fight to it”

A ship was built, a team was formed
The gears of fate were turning
Now was the time they put to test
Their centuries of learning

Blasting off with guts and gusto
Geared towards the heavens
The dinosaurs all crossed their claws
Awaiting Dino-geddon

It took their best, their toughest lot
To see the battle through
But just in time these fine heroes
Did what they’d aimed to do

The meteor, now dust and grit
Was scattered into space
The victors of this great rematch
The noble Dino Race!

Big Data

Big Data

What if we build a smart computer
so smart we call it AI
what if it grew so clever
cleverer than you or I

What if we build a big computer
to handle all that data
it becomes self aware
to solve our mysteries better

What if it discovers something
an origin a singularity
true nature of existence
dark matter or dark energy

So utterly astonishing
without the smallest doubt
it decides not to tell us
in case we freak-the-feck-out

I Won'T Alway Be a Bottle.

my life is useful,not a joke,
i'm a plastic bottle,no not just for coke,
everyday i'm important to you,
without me you wouldn't get through.
think,how would you get your squeezy sauce?
or the washing up liquid of course,
cleaners for the oven and the loo,
or the bleach for drains to name a few.
i started life way underground,
oil was drilled for,i was found,
i am a by- product of oil you see,
that makes plastic,you get me.
i have many uses in my plastic state,
boxes,cartons and cling film my mate,
but be careful how you disguard me,
for i'm not biodegradable you see.
but humans are getting cleverer now,
they add bits to my makeup somehow,
that helps us to be eco friendly too,
we can be recycled,and made anew.
i won't always be a bottle,i could be a jar,
or bits you can put into a car,
i've many uses,i'm quite versatile,
in specs for instance,you then see the smile.
my relations are p.v.c. and polythene,
they make bags,wrappers and dustbins supreme,
you should recycle,not just disguard,
then life on the planet wouldn't be hard.
everthing can be used over and over again,
less rubbish,less mess,less acid rain,
so please think before you cause pollution,
the ways,recycle,thats the solution

Premium Member Fired Up

Fired Up

Suddenly slow, then frozen up…My heart began to pound.
My computer means so much to me. It’s my touch to the outside world.
Then my knight came in the door… determined my dragon to slay. 
And let me tell you… as dragons go… he can slay anything.

Dragon fire can be hot, but this one was immensely worse.
Nothing at all seemed to work. This dragon was really strong.
Shield after shield fell from my knights’ grip… 
But thank God… he never, ever gave up.

Night after night he fought with might and studied his foe with thought.
Each night he scanned every road… for where a lair could be stowed.
His sword swung with might nightly… erasing him from the land. 
But still the dragon was able to come back breathing fire upon all at hand.

He knew how to open every back door. He was cleverer than any I had seen.
But steady as a rock my knight and prince… continued to protect my way of life.
Finally, one day, with four new shields and with Excalibur by his side…
The dragon's spawn was slayed one last time,  then a miraculous silence remained…

My knight had sacrificed so much time and sleep… that I truly cried.
This dragon was from a far away land where more dragons are made with pride.
But my dear knight is willing to wait by my side… His shield and sword nearby.
Thank you I say with hugs and kisses… For my knight in shining armor, my life…

I Made a Deal With Satan

> I do not know if this qualifies as poetry.  I take my ideas from the news, or what happens in life around me.  I hope you don't mind.  My good news is I do not have cancer now, and it's only just beginning to sink in.  I wonder why I survived and not my younger sister. I would have given my life for her. Sadly He does not do deals either. does He?

I made a deal with Satan.

It's time to sleep.

It's time to sleep, to rest my head.
Upright on my frame adjusted  bed.
Head held up, feet protected too.
Bet you wonder what I do?

Just pumping up my pressure mattress now.
Gives me back relief, somehow.
Air goes in air comes out.
Like that referendum, that's about.

Tonight I think, I must asleep. My cancer it has gone.  
Hospital did peep. Inside of me with a CT scan. 
They said, I'm clean, yes Stan the man.
No cancer rests inside of me. None of it could they see.

I guess now I am fit and well.  Satan will call me now to hell.
You see, I made him a deal.  Was not hard to do.
If he sent all innocents to heaven.  I'd pay with my life, it's true. 
Then when I'm lodging, deep up there.  As hell is not here anywhere!

I'll sort hell out, that's what I'd do.  Be soon, like heaven.  I'm telling you.  
No terrorists will reside there.  I'll work that out, I don't care. 
I'll get them to clean the furnace there.
Shut them all in no doubt.  Oh no, I won't let them out.

I'll rake their ashes finally out.  Scatter them, I will.
Not on land,will they fall.  But sink in the oceans deep, they will all.
Then, heaven and hell will be okay.  Oh!  Did I forget to say.
The other pact I made with Satan was, for me to come back to earth!

Fighting fit, Armour on, ready to send all terrorists, right where they belong.
I've made a deal with Satan, and soon all terrorists will be gone.


Of course I would like to go to heaven when He calls  But I wonder if I could really tolerate that floral dance of Sir Terry's for eternity.  I have not really made a pact with the devil, honest, I would not know how. And it would take a far cleverer person than me to pull the wool over Satan's eyes.  After all he is supposed to know everybody's bad points, isn't he?  Have a  nice day everyone.  I did and as i said, the reality is just sinking in.  (The mad author)<

Premium Member Did Cupid Get It Wrong

Did Cupid get it wrong with his arrow when he took a shot at me? Could he see that I was a saddened girl dreaming of someone to love me?
Was he up there just sitting upon his cloud, looking down, and seeing me, or could he hear my cries that I no longer wished to be lonely?
He claims that he is the God of desire all about passionate love, but I guess the joke was on me when he shot you too with his arrow from up above
He speaks of the erotic passion of love, affection, attraction, and desire, and all of these things we did have between us back then no one could put out our fire

They say he is the son of Venus the most beautiful goddess of all, so you would think he knew more about love then he apparently did, at least that is my call
Some people call him Amor, another name for love, and I thought that is what he placed us in but apparently mine wasn’t enough
Some say he looks like a Cherub with a face so sweet, and I trusted in him when he brought you to me
But what Cupid brought to me was no God, no lover to take away the sadness I carried within, he brought to me a demon with wings but not the kind that were placed upon him 

Cupid’s bow and arrow are a source of power, but he doesn’t wield it very well, because he sent me the uttermost darkness that resides in the flames of Hell
Cupid’s arrow cursed me when I looked upon your face, I couldn’t see the devil only the angel disguised in his place
You controlled me with your desire for me as I for you, but now looking back I believe it was the poison of the arrow that hid our bitter truths
Cupid likes to claim that “Love Conquers All” well he needs to come down off of his cloud and tell me that I’m wrong

Love in my case doesn’t conquer anything, not when you’re up against the devil himself because the devil he plays to cheat
Cupid is winged because as they say lovers are flighty, I know that devils are, they are just cleverer about hiding those wings when they come making their call
They say Cupid is boyish because love is irrational but then again men they are too, and devils well they’re the worst of all wrapped up in beauty while they defile you
So, Cupid you can have your arrow back and I can tell you where it should go, next time instead of hitting the devil in the heart with it please aim just a little more low.
