Best Devises Poems

Oh the images we freeze in time

the sweet, sweet scents that bring recall

the sharp and painful longing that belongings bring

for those lost or lingering on sheets of lavender

on shelves of shaving mugs - Old Spice

soap roped in shower stalls.



Oh the images warmed and torn, sun...

"I'm hearing images, I'm seeing songs no poet has ever painted
Voices call out to me, straight to my heart"

Cold, emotionless, and her nature, defiant 
Hard to connect with as well as unreliant
A boarding school for outcasts such as Wednesday
Revenge for brother, brings on her sinister...

I will not write a poem today
I won’t – I won’t – I won’t
I’ll defy the metered merriment
Declare the thymes – all crimes
My challenge to the metaphor
An inky gauntlet on the floor

I wlll count no syllables
As I ride the “silly” bus
Nor sound the drum roll...

Drinking a bloody mary, he stands aloof.
Not a snob but superior to his trade,
He is a poet of today.

Just look at his attar.
His facial expression tells of his dramatic aura.
Maybe, he is in dramatic internal dialogue.

His attire is appropriate.
He poses as a guru.
A skilled poet...

It may be hard to find me, see, because
My journey never stops - I only pause
at places you could hardly dream to quest                
without imagination at its best.

land of the mighty
brought to their knees in surprise
warriors far from home
remember ancient war cries
and the pierced autumn sky

A quest for power is a quest of faith.

The mythology states rank is gave.

An empty mind lacks the ability to form hate.

Insofar, what is the maxima that sake?

 
The drink of the Greek and Roman gods, nectar

Cause a religious uproar, wretchedness

A Trojan prince and warrior...

Many things helps me bear...

Finally he has gone to fish
With a nylon net
Since unskilled he is
Anyhow has set the net,

But, o! he alone has caught
All the fishes
No a single one in the pond
For them, you or us,

Modern devises are so accurate
To finish things at once
Beings also face same fate
Here,...

Wireless Armour

Have you a laptop, a tablet, a phone
A wireless device that you call your own
Have you read the studies about radiation?
Do you fear for your health in this wireless nation?
If you are a guy, then this you should know
Electromagnetic studies all show
Sperm count and...

He has been born with the power to control
He sees the things around him are in a row
He observes what those things are meticulously
He thinks of best ways to make use of them technically
He devises various means to reach the aim
He makes mistakes to bring...

Swords speak brittle metal thrusts
 singing a song in the wind by touch and lost trust;
blade upon blade clanging the swish of empty points
 deeply cut for glory and honor now disjoint.

The sword speaks forged in metallic shields
  shaped and tapered to steeled pricking...

H Hematophagous animals, which means blood-seeking.
I Insects like those in the worm family.
N Newborns that just do it naturally.
G Guys who love guys and who do it with ease.
S Sump pumps and sippers and gals that don’t tease!

This is a poem to tell you what poetry must be,
A how-to-write-a-poem guidebook for you, by me.

A poem must have both rhythm and rhyme,
And be happy and jumpy and apply to the time.

Have lots of imagery! Use simile and metaphor,
With “like” and “as”, your poem...
