Best Deviously Poems
Timorous CreedsDancing to the tune of iniquity,
Deviously artless in their silent retreat,
Elusively lashing out unjustly,
Pelting out timorous creeds;
A casualty in their vapid beliefs,
Brought upon by diligent lunacy,
Primed in erroneous ideologies....

Adventures In DoggerelWhen I was a lad and somewhat brash
I often read the poems of Ogden Nash,
whose humourous rhymes on many themes,
was motivation for my own poetic dreams.
Later when I took to reading Edgar Allen Poe,
more of this clever author, I longed to know.
Words from this expert...

What Actually Is SchoolWhat Actually is School?
The Education Act 1996 (UK) defines a pupil as someone “for whom education is being provided at a school,” and as a person under 19, seeing a school as an educational institution outside further or higher education. I think more pupil needs...

You Are Not GodThis lush green and putrefying smell is in what I rejoice.
Some humidity is enough for me to glide to and fro,
on dead leaves, under rotting branches...among preys and predators;
no limit of land and no society to dictate my behavior.
The earth of God, I revere for...

Dramatic Monologue
The Odyssey Redux Part I - From Trozan Shores To Aeolian IsleNow gather around, ye lusty lads, a tale I'll tell to thee
Of jealous Gods, monsters and ill-fated men who sailed the sea.
My tale is set in hoary times when fickle fate was by divine decree.
Then men were men who faced all odds, much sturdier than...

Precious PetalFrom all the precious petals,
adorning my flower garden -
I choose only you.
In silent serene ambience,
your splendour is visible,
through an innocent grandeur.
Captivated by your tender satin aura,
I desire for each blossom to embrace me -
to be caressed by your lusciousness.
But resentful weeds bark like dogs,
their envious...

Spy NetworkThere is a spy network deviously in disguise
Operating in Australia with their country's spies,
We even fund their operation
Right throughout our vast nation
Eating at Chinese restaurants, we should be more wise....

River LifeYou old muddy devil, back for more,
Surging to flood, you'd even the score.
I know you want to sweep me away,
Wouldn't stop 'til we're out in the bay.
Can't trick me though, I'm wise to your ruse,
House and garden you'd take for a cruise.
There were days when...

Bedouin: Desert TransientFreelance wanderer carefully navigating the vast expanse
Shadow warrior doth stealthily advance without
remonstrance
With bartered lance, pawned knife; abridged parlance
Shuffling in tantric harmony o'er unforgiving terrain;
nuanced eccentric
Camel cavalcade, entrancing spectacle across glistening
sands prancing
Shrouded by the frantic wind; each, cloaked itinerant a
tenured mantic
Trading the...

An Alliterative Abecedarian CompositionAbecedarian poems are also known as alphabetical sequential writings.
Being deviously different and difficult to
Compile, compose and complete. Consequentially combining
Determination and deviant, driven poets devote determined time, and
Exercise extreme etymological enthusiasm
For forging a fitting composition that
Guarantees generous grades, and gracious responses.
Hardly a...

The Song of the Game.The sound of Leather on hardwood
Classics, jerseys and sneakers on floor.
These instruments accompany the
Chorus of fans and haters
In unison they roar.
Deftly we move, we manouver
You can call it a dance
With a wish
A common goal,
A spheroid of gold,
This bomb explodes with a swish!
This dance we've...

Born AgainIf, as they say, the cells
of the body are replaced every seven
years, then I'm a new being
since my sons were newborn.
I have died and been reborn
neither better nor worse yet remembering
feeding them while dancing to Moment's
Notice, as they attended with new minds.
Having died, as such,...

TvTelevision’s unblinking eye
is mesmerizing us,
addicting, time wasting, unhealthy
why is no one making a fuss?
I guess because we love it
entertaining us all,
setting us up with frivolity
before we take the fall.
Despite it’s informative content
it isolates each one,
sitting alone to watch the tube
thinking we’re having fun.
Sated with...
