Best Display Poems

So many people complain when they lose

To gain better rankings, judges they schmooze

And if they don’t place, their egos are bruised

They even use blogs simply to recuse

To some extent, these attacks may amuse

But their true intent is to light a fuse

Comments from favor seekers surely...

The rising sun is on display
For anyone to see
Though few are out to notice – 
Just the lucky ones, like me.

The past few days I can’t describe
Its color – like a mix
Of neon pink and orange-red,
A hue that does transfix.

It hangs there in the sky...

Tonight the golden glow of stars and the crescent moon's silver light are far more beautiful than mankind has the right to behold. The Creator, with loving kindness, illuminates the darkness of the night sky with celestial brilliance.

I have a memory-
of going with father   to see fireworks
we brought folding chairs      and warm blankets
     it is a magical recollection
the neighbours gathered   with anticipation
it
  began

Sour Rita is a meter maid
she’s checking car drivers have paid
if you step out of line
she will issue a fine
of Rita drivers are afraid

Her beady eyes dart round the lot
she’s looking for folk who forgot
to pay and display
and it makes her day
to impose a fine...

On mild days in sun’s rays,
I relish observing Nature’s ways.
I watch squirrels playing tag
and puppies with tails that blithely wag.
Songbirds serenade from early to late.
My indoor chores will just have to wait!

Her Grand Display 

Oh the bliss of heaven’s reaching,
formed upon this fertile ground
Lingering desires touch us,
felt of love we now have found

Morning Glories, gently weaving
velvet blooms in midday blue
Climbing higher, painted visions,
beauty as I find in you

‘fore the sunrise, silent breathing,
passion dawns within your smile
Strolling...

Star filled skies ignite the trees in glistening array
of falling leaves and scented pine, November on display
The beauty that does meet our eyes so comforts all we see,
strolling down this shadowed path, together you and me

Love is our companion, constant, everywhere we go,
precious is the...

Prideful Display

Stand on your rock
waving your flag
to the sound of your
own brass band

as though the fanfare
will bring you notice
lasting more than an instant
in the breezy blue.

Remember the crowd is fickle...

When fashions get their own displays
Arranged in a museum,
It’s guaranteed that I will be
One person who will see ‘em.

I study all the sketches and
The mannequins all dressed
In fancy outfits sure to leave
All comers quite impressed.

Today, at the Mizrahi show,
The staff did help contrive
To take the...

Public affection –
Where did it go?
There’s an infection
Nobody knows

Loving in secret
Guilt meter’s on
Telescreen watching
Privacy gone

They’re lockin’ you up
For a public display of affection

The children are snitches
The homeless are spies
Watch in the subway
Their schizoid eyes

They’re puttin’ you down
For a public display of affection
They’re sellin’ you out
For...

Why is it when you go out of your way
To help someone brighten their day
Or solve a problem that has things in disarray
They want to play you as if to say
You owe them in some superficial way

Putting on some kind of poor me display
Overshadowing the...

There are not for profit oligarchs
Amidst arms flooding minus any Ark
Noah saw such days of old
As he held Gods plan; on course as told
Billons swelll in roaring tides 
As ministerial figures, smooth the ride
Oppression is touted, as logic and truth
While cash in community is unclean;...

As I drift through all the loneliness 
That seems to harness itself to the day
We put ourselves out there in hopes we sway
A love that will portray the kind of girl
That makes all my loneliness slip away

One who isn't afraid of her feelings on display
To...
