Best Concisely Poems

Hey Tom, your heart you wear on your sleeve,
Concisely achieve what a poet does perceive,  
Surpassing discerning reporters near and afar,
Keep writing about Putin and his stories bizarre,
You remind me of Churchill, just add a cigar....

I was an eminent, solar physicist, like the blushing rose, craving renown.
Each butterscotch morning I drove to work, and toiled until red sundown.

The observatory was the place I loved, keeping watch on our nearest star;
Like a pale moon that sits staring all night, its gaze...

He's our savior
a man of utmost principals

He stands up against the deep state
and speaks his mind concisely

But he has faltered
and hoarded sensitive information

Now silver bars may bind his home
for several years to come

What can we do to help
how can we save the man we love

There...

I can’t say
where life begins
and death takes over:

Oh! I know of birth
and funerals--
what the church says
and what my gut
further tells me…

but my heart often
wanders above wings,
parting shadows
to a place alone
where I encounter
a loving presence
my feeling no need
to define...

I have read those volumes 
both blessed and...

Sentence structure matters


Attention don't we really if pay
Build or to invention the we poem way
Might words just the scramble we as well
Everyone absurd that because it's will

Nicely don't words if the flow
Read will concisely them one no
Very really true it's apropos
What is because that silly...

“A person’s a person, no matter how small.” 
Dr. Seuss

Comparing

A young man stood next to a man who was much taller.
He began to feel lesser; so very much smaller.
Never of concern before;
His inches above the floor.
The next day he stood by a man much shorter...

Revived to pop out as an empty nester 
To accompany a newfangled life
Maneuvered all the way for a change of state
I dropped my bags and willed at country’s metropolis. 

The heirloom edifices occupying moiety of acreage
Glossy crisscross roads and extended overpass
Spic-and-span subway and the rushy...

Delusion and Reference 
(Paranoia) 

Once there was only one, not fun, 
So then this became two, did moo,  
But my mum thought there were two, 
There was her, and then guess who, 
God said this, that, she said, like glue, 
So her and Him...

Studies his subject intensely
Like watching a dance
Each move remembered precisely
Taking a ready stance
Quietly and concisely
Evaluating the circumstance

Friend, foe, relative, stranger 
Fellow traveler on life's road
A challenger of danger
Or one he desires to know
Thief of culture and exchanger
Maybe a warrior on a rainbow

Requires a curious mind
To...

side glances mock 
the youth, 
their moments
of relenting- 

sinuously fulfilling, 
as if the time 
was their own, 
and not perpetual. 

ideas making cycles- 
actions and reactions,
captured by neurons, 
and called original. 

concisely, 
unable to grasp
The Laws of Wisdom,
only time can teach- 

imperative, 
the elder thinks,...

Bill beat them to death. Verbose and belligerent, banal and brilliant, Hicks would beat
you with a joke until you weren’t sure it was funny any more. But you’d still laugh.
Advertising advocates he indicated, would be best dealt with through suicide. Like
lemmings, but really jumping.

Clearly he...

My Mind
Continuously Composes
Line upon lovely line
Of poetry roses

Sparked and budded
By inspiration words
Like that of an Ode on a Grecian Urn
Makes my melting heart’s hunger burn
Elevated inspiration spike
From lines like
“Beauty is truth, truth beauty”

This keeps me up at night
Under covers tight
Writing in my head
When I should...

Impressed
by what I see
then,improvised in me,
so concisely composed and penned-
for thee...

Are you out of your goddamn mind?
What even is a TOS at this point anyway?
Copper meets gray matter in a stellar show!
Self-inflicted; this is what your ticket paid for!

Here's your endless stream of consciousness
Concisely squished into 2500 characters
What a limitation!
The English-only aspect feels racist.

Summer heat,...

Fuzzy Memory


As a keeper of memories
I am second to none.
My cells are young, eager and clear -
I will yield to no one!

My Master is a cautious man,
I am fed precisely.
I sort and store in exact fashion,
Then recall concisely.

That is why March the fifth stands out...
