Best Deeming Poems

"Once upon a midnight Poe"

Underneath the midnight mask, I remove the makeup at last,
The moon is an anvil to my mood, mooring along the vacant vast 
I lay the Gin and Tonic by the bedside asking for more,
I hear a noise, a lost voice, the...

How fondly he recalls when doting moon stared
Blush of her radiant smile gleamed opaline skies
While cuddling stellar vibes love they declared 
And embracing her allure he venerated his prize.

In womb of romantic night passions-grand aired
Exchanging fervent vows, longing dawn of sunrise,
When revealing prurience every intention...

I was an environmental scientist, working with large wind farm developers,
To harness wind and generate electricity, as a plum sun flees, to tell others.

I worked at helping developers comply, with all environmental regulations;
Minimizing the impact to it and populace, like storm tossed petal situations.

I conducted...

For ten months now I’ve brooded over coming second place
in the pickle section deeming, it no less than a disgrace.
It was written plain and simple, so there can be no excuse,
that the pickles in this section must be made from local produce. 

So my asparagus...

Unspoken words hang in the stillness of unmindful space,
  like a touch never to be felt
    A sight never to be seen
      A curl of smoke dissipating
         

A...

How do you thank someone you never met 
a person who leaves you a generous gift 
without even saying a single word 
How can one repay such a gift 
except, with another gift, 
My offering gift to you is in words 
dear anonymous donor, 
I...

a narrative with the rhyme of Twas the Night Before Christmas)

Twas the night before Christmas, the manger's convinced,
it stands ready to cradle a Savior and Prince.
The no vacancy sign caused men's wonder and doubt,
manger's role is a pivot. God's working it out!

As we gawk, looking...

“Ceasing to sway, get out of your own way ~
That love and light bursts forth, like a sun ray”
~ quote, by poet
____________________________

Believing ourselves to be mind-body,
we pursue objects of our heart's desire,
more oft than not, employing thoughts shoddy,
immersed in delusion, until we tire,
whereupon we internalise...

Watching a movie ('Walking Tall')
I spied a cockroach on my wall,
crawling in and out of sight,
the proud homeowner's sorry plight.
Now I see him, now I don't,
a creepy feeling, and I won't
feel better till he's dead and gone,
deeming it a job well done.

The kitchen was my...

I am in a room,
With a brush and a broom.
Casually looking into the window,
But unable to see the rainbow.
My eyes unable to comprehend,
For the window was stained.

Clouded with colours of bleakness,
Darkened by Disappointments,
Reddened by Rejection,
Dimmed by Dejection,
Smudged by Self-doubt,
And Clouded by Criticism in and out.

My...

Aching
Pleading
Needing

Silent communication
Electric sensation 
Caressing invitation 

Inspiring each touch
Eager to please
Give and receive 

Body quivering with trepidation
Arching with excited anticipation
Grasping with seductive intention

Feverent in the quickening moment
Violently elicting a deeming improvement
Lost in the heated movement 

Nails raking down impossibly smooth skin
Breasts supple begging for firm carresings
A...

Masonic rituals performed by dancing shadows 
Inspired by the pale moons light 
Demons tempting chaste virgins 
Needing comfort in the chilling night 
Incandescent spectres, like mist, crawl from the mere 
Garnished in willow-o-wisp shrouds 
Honour to the midnights guardians 
That cry their allegiance, to the...

Nebula4C appeared over the horizon
an ancient being who had traveled here before
many light years away from his home
He studied our constellations, and smiled
knowing he was where he had planned to be
An azure hologram sky concealed his arrival.
He was unsure how much farther Earth had advanced
Could...

The Amistad Mutiny

Slavery, a dirty word no matter how it’s pronounced:
Abducted and herded to the slave fortress of Lomboko1 for trade.
To be tossed in chains below deck on the Portuguese ship Tecora,2
Sailing the Atlantic Middle Passage3 leg of the voyage,
Disenfranchised from their Mendiland4 home in...

"Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future"
-Oscar Wilde


Saints aren’t always saints, sinners aren’t always sinners,
freedom comes with a price even when you’re ready-
Life can be a rummage of contending losers and winners,
yet aloof in the assessment of what is worthy or...
