Best Comprehensible Poems


Premium Member Goethe or The Metamorphosis of Plants Andre Masson
Too much to know, I just don't know it
As I fumble around, just a humble poet 
Frustrated as I watch unfurl a show
I just don't know it, too much to know

Answers are near, in the palm of my hand
It's nobody's fault that I can't understand...

Premium Member Nothingness
“Nothingness” 

Words 
lines drawn 
unending

dusk 
to
dawn

characters recognised
transcribed
in the mind 

where voices unheard
plant meaning
wild ivy grows 

and snakelike
moves 
outside the lines

electric 
we become strange
symphonies sublime;

engraved in time
most rocks crumble
dissolve, 

life has no need
for unnecessary 
rhyme

beginning of a sentence
chases the end
catches up, blends in 

swallowing life’s tale
circular...

Premium Member The Ignoramus: Who Is Not Far From Being a Fool
When everyone goes east, he heads west
to him, every dialogue is a contest
comes into an interaction as the biggest
then leaves agonisingly as the lowest.
When he speaks, you know he is half-honest
even though he truly knows, but not near the best.


He always end up lost in...

Premium Member Man Is That Miracle:
Silhouettes dancing with elegant gestures,
In ecstatic Moonlight dwelling in the ethereal sphere.
An oasis thriving in a wondering mind,
Mixed with emotions that teeter the edge.

As I search the Heavens for answers untold,
Is it in my grasp, the enlightened soul?
Finding solace in the beauty of this world,
Still,...

Sweet Old Town
Little sways in shower streams 
bring on fond memories of sweet
Old Town. Fountains, heavenly
guides. Bricks and rubble take
witness to unheard passions and 
half hearted lies. Flats and floating
coats. Subtle splashes on cobbled
roads. We spin and glide between 
street lamps. There’s a longing in 
the back...

"In musical notation, a bar (or measure) is a segment of time corresponding to a specific number of beats in which each beat is represented by a particular note value and the boundaries of the bar are indicated by vertical bar lines."

Premium Member Music, Music, Music
I reckon I'm showing my age and am pretty well set in my ways,
But I have zero tolerance for the 'noise' called music nowadays!
The metal bands and rap are loathsome to my sensitive ears.
I haven't heard a melodic tune on the radio for over sixty...

A Nightmare of Erroneous Intuitions
his eyelids conclude why bother
manacled they led him away
to the exact center of their city
they tried everything
cattle prod fire hose blow dryer
ineluctable forces of nature
now there are wires in his head
his neo-cubist portrait
ended up on bags of dog food 
have you seen this child
we make...

Premium Member A Feel For History
Are people who sense a direction in history,
and before history,
throughout prehistory,
who feel their way through organic-systemic evolution,
merely progressive polypathic mystics,
not quite exegetically conservative enough
to color only within borders of  a better nurtured Tradition?

Are those who just know history progresses
perhaps matriarchs of nurture,
and/or patriarchs of...

Good Luck
Old Spencer, smelling of grippe, drugs, and death, 
he couldn’t bend over to pick up chalk, magazines, 
and failed acknowledgements of stupidity.
He certainly reveled in my foolishness.
“Modern science would still like to know what the secret ingredients were 
that the Egyptians used when they wrapped...

Freedom of Restriction
Deflected, crushed by the social retardation, 
Not loved, ‘cos he’s altogether unaccepting, 
Active learning the robot’s mouth action, 
So he can't contextualise, there’s no blessing.

Neither me nor him meet and we sweep by, 
There’s no connection from his ANDs and ORs,  
Only citadels to...

Embark On the Journey Out of the Dark
Writings moving through me with the Holy Spirit,
Inviting exquisite artistry like Hebrew so I write it automatically,
Transmitted and sent with rugged style of construed truth, 
To induce questions within the golden age of the awakening youth,
With the use of visions of visionary proof, bulletproof like...

'kasa' - Truth and Wisdom 3
an Eagle's flight is no fright
rather a height to fright all prey
You always stand tall
when you discount sky heights
Standing on the tallest Mountain
does not make you fly,
for your soles the Earth behold
Indeed the Universe occupy real space
but true space our Hearts and Minds occupy,
in comprehensible...

My Inner Feelings
Left to right I look
Seeking for that something that is compatible
 with my radical yet supernatural  characteristics 
The lenses of my eyes are swiftly shifting 
Giving me this ultimate feeling that is often appealing 
Triggering my inner thoughts as I stand there envisioning 
Trying...

Premium Member Computer Tyro
After much cajoling by my kids and grandkids over the years,
I entered the computer age with great tremblings and fears.
My Selectric typewriter and encyclopedia were comprehensible to me,
Now, I'm totally bewildered and fear I'll click the wrong key!

I've read every "Computers for Dummies" book that...
