Best Deftness Poems


Blood
 
Fumes of valor,
Sins weighing all the hopes lost,
Demeanor of power,
craving for success whatever's the cost,
Deftness of a prodigy,
It carries it all,
It carries everything you believe it does,
It carries nothing!

Judged, divided, shamed upon,
It just gushes unaware of any anomalies.
Its expeditious flow defines us all,
The sudden...

Premium Member Mist On the River
Mist rises quiet
Thru the liquid reflection
A river’s silence
~
Foggy mornings weigh
Gentle on my thoughts, my heart
Cooling my spirit
~
Sweet whispers grumble
Across smooth stones, in rapids
Venturing past pines
~
The edge of midnight
Soothing as a soft creek flow
Through whimsical joy
~
Moonlight reflects hope
Against the water’s deftness
Calling the calm shore...

Logical Astuteness
Education has never deluded me,
it is a rich mine from which my gemstones are extracted;
and all of them can adorn with its brilliance 
a king's crown, but the glitter on my silver pendant...
with my natal sign, not with my image, outshines it
and displays it very...

Sands of Forgiveness
Deep within, settle our diamonds of hate;
Descending, slowly through our mind, heart and soul.
Hurts refined and ignored, forgotten in fate;
At first nothing but, a burning lump of coal.

The black-sooted singed wound, is hidden within;
We put on a smile and voice, 'nothing is wrong.'
The battle of...

Awaking to exceptional day, I noticed obviously gross, uncut grass,
all glaringly exhibiting growth in degrees ordinarily considered unusual.
My ambition to erase the ill look of my ugly duckling animated me.
Every bold invader was ostracized most unmercifully.
Persistently advancing, still energized, while ignoring time or thirst, unknowingly.
Pleased...

Prate On
A poison pen
And a hypocritical conscience
Can so easily be cloaked in 
High morality

Prate on
Knock them down
With words
Slay them in the name of
Public opinion

Write on
Right all the supposed wrongs
That provides fodder to pay your bills
With that pen of ignorance
With the ink of ill-will that
Masks all your...

Blind
Bringing out the light from the dark
Expunge evil from a makers mark

God cleanse it, the deftness aptly applied
Dumbness and deafness, captured astride

Too daft to get it, to pray, instead let it
Too deep inside, eating, without the wit

To see the honest truth
See yourself to the booth...

Happy Resolve
As I set upon my stoop today,
a nervous smug permeated.
Child like joy coming my way,
excited what fate has slated.

I believe in a future that's bright,
whether it be pleasant or it's shot.
I'll scrap for it. I'll last the fight,
no matter what is wrought.

Glad I am that...

The Captive Angel
THE SNOW and coarse wind both plunge down over oceans
Unbound and unmeasured by obstinate sailors
Who drift while confronting ungrappled emotions
Like obdurate petrels and stoical whalers. 

Imprisoned ashore on a cliff is the mourner
Whose wings have been severed by devious captors;
He peers through the mist as...

Assignment For Ms. Burroughs
The Poet
On the cruise ship was an unknown poet,
His style so hot, that none could approach it.
Not the smartest guy, don’t be quick to judge,
Doesn’t read much, writing is what he loves.
His lyrics are of experience and truth;
Life has been hard since the days of...

Premium Member Bacon Sizzlin' In the Skillet
Many are the memories of Hoosier farm life as a lad that I recall.
One was what Dad called 'hog renderin' that occurred every fall.
When he proclaimed the old boar had reached his maximum weight,
That meant for sure that the old feller was soon to meet...

Leader
The eagle’s wings flap with elegance and vigor;
even though the wind blows with great strength and power.
While both branch and twig sway due to a shrill clear sound,
as the green leaves rustle above the conscious ground.

This ferocious feathered appendage shows fierceness;
He untiringly glides with deftness...

When I hit the dance floor,
I feel I am free and in a magical place,
free to pour.

motions.

Upbeat
