Best Cogently Poems

An echo of lovesome passion, an inspiration of unborn theme,
A muse hypnotic, adept at composing aspirations of my dream,
Omnipresent voice of being, poetry is my love, eternal as time,
Shaping expressions of mind, embellishing moments sublime.

Strumming music enamored, resounding from tenor of heart,
Humming chorus of life,...

Skidding along the ice-covered ground
Traversing like a runaway hound
Eluding, hopping on series of mound
And lines of snowflakes over a thousand pound

Skiing from a snow peak so high
In my soul an eidetic heart that thrives
Your memory I keep alive not sigh
Your vim in me that cogently...

beaten and broken
bruised and battered
brutalized and bare
bandaged and braised
bashed and butchered 
bold and brave
Anguished

Slayed and silenced
slaughtered and seduced
strong-armed to surrender
squeezed and squashed
bleeding hearts

clad in elephant vestment
with an eternal spirit,
pugnacious  against
the system from the walls of prison,
sentenced for a crime they didn’t commit
cogently grilling them...

OH HONEY, LOOK AT THE PRETTY PINK HOUSE ON THE ****ING CORNER

Is it all about two promises and two hearts set upon the same goal,
or is it more about two beings sharing the same soul?
Is it more about the places they go and the people...

Death dug deep, satiated by the leave, 
Clover leaf fell from its tree of normality, 
Not touching it, I cogently allowed it to occupy, 
That location it did choose for my morose dirge. 

Related to, I gently stretched and bent down, 
To feel that smoothness...

Serious Sibling Subluxation... 
Rapprochement Somewhat Salvaged Dislocation

This trademark ungainly, unsightly,
     and unwieldy title essentially
     huzzah mask ***** aid,
and accentuates tendency
     (mine) to administer
     reverent unpretentious yawping,

Have You 
I’ve been around and about awhile
Seen pain cogently hidden by a smile
I’ve seen the concluding moments of the day
Saw clouds roll away as blue turned to grey
Have you?

Felt so dearly loved and loved in return
Saw joy and tears enough to fill an urn
Tasted...

And so it begins with just a little tease,
Being her dear friend he invites her in.
Holding hands with a smile made of grin,
A fable of a boy and girl she imagines. 

She likes the boy for his wit and smarts.
Spellbound he stays as she cogently...

Like sands
Through the hourglass
My thoughts percolate
Between instant gratification
And long-term resolution.

Like an unfaltering pool
Of sinking sand
My dissatisfaction agglutinates
With foolish gibberish
To obscure optimism.

Like a withering stalk
My shrivelling aspiration 
Matches and clashes 
With swelling inertia
Resulting in dispiriting
Deprivation of direction.

Like a valley of ash
My barren essence
Gasps for restitution -
For...

Coagulated cogitating
as the result of partying with Jim Beam
or was it my buddy Bud?

Moonshine mulligrumps
from a chianti hang over
the edge of a pledge.

Thinking drinking leads
to stinking thinking
someone cogently said
but, stinking thinking
is exactly whats in my head.

So a little bubbly
brings a smile for a while
and a...

WELL THERE BLOWS THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Or is two about two beings  becoming one, sharing the very same soul?
Or is it more about the places they go and the people they meet?
Or does...

Some of our finest literary writing
Is found in rebuttal and debate
Especially when it is logical, reasoned,
Well-written, or cogently spoken
Like writings of Madison and Paine
And speeches of Lincoln and Douglas
Too often, these days, anger prevails
Striking as if with a sharp cutlass
What, I wonder, is to be...

Serious sibling subluxation... 
rapprochement somewhat salvaged dislocation

Truth be told about following poem 
mostly written quite some years ago, 
and revisions made to recreate
and revise a more satisfactory literary product.

This trademark ungainly, unsightly,
and unwieldy title essentially
huzzah mask ***** aid,
(my humble apology NOT
to incite unwanted 
and unwonted...
