Best Collation Poems


Life Intention
LIFE’s INTENTIONS
Across the field in wild proliferation
A multiplicity of forms abound
Not broad brush daubed impressionist collation
But gathering of beings, each one crowned

Every leaf each blade of grass with purpose showing
A will that shall maintain the form alive
From golden flower clock the seeds are blowing
All strive...

SONNET FOR A FRIENDLY TAX MAN

Once more the seasons turn to time for change
The sun adjusts to lower its trajectory 
The fates have cause once more to disarrange
Emotions and confer an elan-ectomy

As many have observed two things are certain
Although we may resist a near demise
One...

Oh! well you take a beat .....
Feel the rhythm from your head to your feet
Lay it down with a form and a meter
Bring alive with a  jive make it neater

And then you get some notes .....
Compose a melody that swings and floats
Put together in...

Excise Exercise 1: Today is the Day
Excise Exercise 1.

Today is the Day she prints out her poems-
a careful first time collation of black and white,
and every color to be seen, in between.
Her Heart clings to words of lost love. And hope.
Which scores are true keepers of internal Self?
In your face front...

Asleep No More
The dawning day is like an open door
for voyagers adrift in living stream
to waken from the dream asleep no more.

When out of slumber’s seas we’re cast ashore
and consciousness resumes its heady beam,
the dawning day is like an open door.

With dialectic feet upon the floor
the thinker...

For the Sake of Rhyme
I have some info to dissipate
It took me a decade to collate
And now it’s yours for free
After this exposure I will flee
To a faraway country
I will work in an infamous pantry
There I will fall off the radar
Never leaving my door ajar
Lest they track me down
And...

The Origin of Politics

For years, not a few, and long overdue
I came to this realisation
how little I knew, in fact not a clue
of Classical Civilisation.
So out there I flew, on holiday too,
to garner familiarisation,
to study anew, a modest review
of Greece and her rise as a nation.

In a car...

Within the Dream
There are rights and wrongs, or so it seems,
in the most outlandish fancy flights.
When we’re asleep even in our dreams
there’s an awareness of wrongs and rights.

Yet are they the same for all of us?
Perhaps in our deepest inward core
far off from frivolity and fuss
there’s a...

Captivated
I can't continuously catch this connection
coroscating so cordially as a cure...
Captivating my cranium contemporaneously
contaminating collation of common sense.
I can't think...
And our growing link
makes my heart sink
with your every wink!
Blink... Blink...
Are you reality?
I reach right past self-denial's ruse of
what's real with no rest reeking of regicide
fearing...

Blair and Brown once had the power to spend spend spend out of hand
The banks as ever did no favours for the common man,
They just...

In a Matrimony
To you
Union is an unwanted monster
Your love is at war
Strife over a small matter
This is your manner
Matrimony should be harmony
Cloud of malice is not like eye-candy
Should be erased as a useless memory
To give a room to a definite harmony

In love
Half plus half make one only
As...

Premium Member The Color of Saying
The wordsmith toils over hot metal fonts in wellsprings
Struggling like a blacksmith to hone and shape 
    thoughts and images into typeface words and poems.
To conjure up meanings from thoughts twisted, prodded,
    cajoled and prised to render mindful hot...

Uneasy Calm
Uneasy calm!The crystal ball of clearity incompletely serened atmosphere for 
serious,sensible decision making.A profane confirmation of black or white,
narrow or wide,positive,negative or neutral response.A turning point!
Uneasy calm!Pervades the air in an atmosphere of temporary settled confusion,
upheaval and general uncertainties awaiting a definite final answer.Certainly a...

Perfection I should gain; as perfect as the warmth of love,
Affluence, aspiration, and uprightness too should shove;
That substance, that essence, that omnipotent power sway,
That formal and final cause and effect only will stay...!

Could I call it Narvana, the confident negation?
Could I call it ethereal, eternal...

Divinity
See yourself in John 3:16
I hope you will not get lost in John 11:3,
mysteries are the soup of poetry. 
Imageries taught us how to hold our hands like gun then fire without a target or something.
Mytic found favour in your eyes,
Divinity crossed path with spiritualism...
