Best Downgraded Poems


Premium Member Arsene Wenger: More Than Just a Coach

A simple god so slender and symbolic
having a one way onslaught in his approach
and toiling with the master-class of the game
to revolutionize an entire country away from his.
He bastardized his inheritance of stiffness and a crunch system
To transmit the pleasure of a video game to a live coverage.
A believer of his approach, a missionary in his style,
legendary in his execution, but often blind to its short comings.
Going an entire season without a fault 
and giving the possibility to travel cloud 49
makes his glory carry such schoolbag of mysteries and awe.

From the African prince of Monaco, to the great George Weah
and the Dennises, Thierrys, Vierras and Anelkas,
he converts a dusty wood into a luxurious boat.
Academy is his bedroom, ventilated by continuity
even though some megastars were short of understanding this.
Maintenance of a certain threshold even with half loaded guns
is very difficult to achieve and impossible to maintain
but not at all to this attacking minded General.
Spending a decade to shoot regions near the actual target
under the stuffiness of limitations both in finances and talents
shines the stadium light even in the darkness of his underachievement.

Prudence and a closed fist was his personality’s widget
b’cos glory on the pitch alone isn’t his mental gadget.
Placing a repercussion of a very stiff budget
and his command, downgraded so low to a midget.
All these because he’s carried the club like a personal object
placing the short sightedness of instant glories to an eject.
Stability in his empire is now a complete project
As his winning dominance was once a European subject.
He’s now back with an intimidation which will make opposition fidget.

Back to his rank, as he wears all the colours
rising in significance after all the hurdles
heart poured out to a club glorifies him beyond a mere coach,
the riches of such dedication influences the staff of his reputation,
winning and being a champion has always been his signature.
He has once again proven it, 
as the world of sports stands still in ultimate salute.

The Secret of Total Gentleness and Aggression

Why people somewhere so kind and gentle
and somewhere not? 
Why people in Saint-Petersburg ,
Moskow,  Astana, Bishkek
Look so impolite, inhospitable and  unfriendly?
Ask about it the happy inhabitants
or better look himself for what 
is the best  product  of free society 
this kind of people  who lived in Basel, Antwerp, Quebec 
with Oslo  or those
who  fast  transformed  for better  sort of governing - 
Turkian, Philippinians and Ukrainians possible also.

The people of free society and reason
or those who going out from ruling prison 
appreciated choice and initiation
and marvelously transformed own identity
as those who  better controlled  themselves and government,
they hoped for only for freedom  and own diligence
and make wonders gradiently
 under the hand of free market  invisible and patiently.

And what do you say about authoritarian and enslaved nation,
there are all people depended from will of corrupt  guidelanes ,
where freedom, honesty and choices  in total deficit?
Poor citisens there  mentally downgraded
early or later hardened and stoned  their souls  to anthracite
for surviving  in  merciless  and no free  circumstances.   
That was a clearly answer
for such sorts of  questions -
why people somewhere so kind and gentle
and somewhere not?

Pluto Downgraded

Note-- The Tulsa World Newspaper published my prose version of this in February 
1999 and I wrote this version later.


Poor orphaned Pluto is out in gloom and frigid cold
Considered an outsider, his bitter sorrow unfolds
Demoted from planet status he had enjoyed for years.
He lost his brothers and sisters, amidst a flood of tears.

He will dearly miss them though thousands of miles apart.
All nine were family members with camaraderie at heart
For seventy years they claimed him as they circled round the sun
Now he’s no longer orbiting ethereal space in fun.

He asks, “Why do earthlings think they are so very smart?
You’d think they’d be aware of my spinning work of art
Just a trans-Neptunian Object with ice caps at my poles?
Astronomers will ponder when to outer space I stroll.”

No On Should Hang Their Head In Shame

'>I feel a little poem story coming along.  You might as well share it now, as it would take me ages to put it in my book 10 of poems.
It was written today, 26th June 2016, three days into mourning after the referendum.  Vote to leave or stay in the EU.

No one should hang their head in shame.
By Stanley Russell Harris’
(The new mad Author)

GB voted to be sane.
Out at last from that mad EU.
I’d place a guard on that tunnel too.
Just in case, those nice lads now march through.
Must not give them ideas of what to do!

Of course GB's land mass is so small, I can now tell you.
Compared to other member countries of that blinking EU!
So why the panic, for what we do?
Little GB votes and the world's in a stew!

Politicians treated us public as thick.
I’m one of the public that made me sick.
So why should politicians be so thick.
We voted as our brains/hearts dictated it.

Great Britain was great before the Common Market.
Upgraded/downgraded to the European Union!
Depending on the way you view.
Now we are out.  Let’s give some clout.
To those politicians who voted out.
As with all of their brainpower.
Great Britain should grow by the hour.
Back to what it was before.

Supply enough fish for us to eat.
With a brand new fishing fleet!
Mining coal, black miner’s faces to greet!
The coalman calling down the street!
Let the foreigners their own fuel burn.
Great Britain’s fires on our fuel will burn.

Start our iron ore mines working again.
Make our own iron and steel.
Build big ships not boats I say.
Get Britain on its feet again.
You all can do it in the UK.
United we can work and also play.
There will always be someone to pray.
So buck up, cheer up, Great Britain’s here to stay.

PS Unless this blinking rain washes us away.
And on that note, I’ll say good day.

I must confess I posted this on BBC News Facebook page for something to do. As you do lol. Got 25 likes in 4 hours. So that's a nice birthday treat even if a day late lol again.  Have a nice referendum free day while the politicians sort themselves out. (The new mad Author) new as being GB and not EU.<

Premium Member Celestial Dance

Celestial Dance 

The sun and the moon bowed to each other
as they pass on their orbital routes.
The stars did a heavenly dance of honour
the planets glistened bathed in deep purple

Mercury orbiting closest to the sun
fastest of all of the planets are you
Venus (twinned with Earth) the planet of love
lighten our hearts with your femininity

Earth our own planet only known source of life
Mars the red planet and bringer of war
Jupiter you are the jewel in the crown
we gaze at you breathless with wonder and awe

Uranus once known as Georgium Sidus
you are the enchanting ringed planet of beauty
Saturn, he languidly goes his own way
quietly, quietly just doing his duty

Neptune almost last but not least of the planets
you tip your trident, saluting the Sun 
as all of our planets delight in celestial dancing
we watch hearts struck as they do their run

Pluto has recently been 'downgraded' to be a dwarf planet - and is thus not now usually included when listing the planets


Happily Ever After How Bout Not

oh cinderella a dream many girls wish
fit that glass slipper
and ended with a kiss
happily ever after 
the story fortold
but what happen after
a story unknown
see i ran into her
the other day at the store
she told me horrors of her life before
and how her soul mate
was gay
See she wasnt mad at him
but why marry her if neither of them win
but then she left the castle
to an apartment downtown
she had no work experience
so she downgraded down south
she was on welfare
angry as a bee
she had no money to buy anything
then things got worse
when she couldnt get not one wish
she called her godmother
but found out she was just a witch
she had no other choice
she was stuck where she was
so she moved back in with her stepmother
who didnt change at all
Her stepmother
yelled and screamed
and once again she did everything
But then she said she found a guy
she was in love
to her surprise
she got pregnant
she was happy indeed
but then he left her
with a baby to feed
When she went to her stepmother
she wouldnt alow both
so back to welfare she goes
now here she is with a child and no job
wishing for some happily ever after
she says it can happen again
but oh cinderella
the story is done
life just didnt work out for you hun!

*NO offense was/is intended to ANYONE*

Turn To Crist

Having said that
for all of us, dear friends,
not left any other way at all
going to the worth life and prosperity
except turn to Crist	
who just partly known for some of us  as  a prophet Isa
completely shadowed  by Lenin, Marks and Muhammad.

All other way
as you clearly see 
degraded, downgraded,
run out, vanishing
or dying in empty air,
dear brethren, close one and relates.

Believe me, please,
albeit I am not prophet and strong lieder,
I just tell you as honest man
who lived with you in country and region 
that survived  in short time several revolutions
and innumerous plots, famines, calamities, civil wars 
and others fatal experiments
under the ruling of our brainless governors and corruptive, cursed  advisers.
 
I am just not want left you 
you children and grandchildren
for  another decades and tragic long  circle
of multiplying and growing 
disasters, slandering and gloomy perspectives
with Ortodocs Russian churches 
and Russian neoimperializm
or with Islamic fanatics
or Chinese market communism,
flourishing and  looks promising now, 
even the West Catholicism and Protestantism
and Anglican church
do not preferable and helpfull now, 
the same a free market economy and ideology
on the base of US modern democracy
with giant corporations of  greedy richest person
leading world from one crisis to another
cannot been worshiped by us,
even the best example of Swiss, Denmark, Singapore
and other small prosperity countries
could not inspire and attract us anymore.

Only turning to eternal Truth and values
and keeping  the highest moral Code,
precepts and commandments
prescribed for us and every one 
by the holy olders from Bible - 
love to neighbor and love to God
and Crist,s readiness for sacrifice our private life
for others benefits
would help us find out and see 
the far light in the channel of darkness - 
only way going our nation and country
toward save and prosperity
and God’s blessing status and standarts.

A Discovered Strand of Hope

I can see you
 in my peripheral,
 hands move
 with steady ease
 completing their tasks,
 your body moves
 like a sturdy breeze
 making its way
 from there, to,
 I don’t know where.

And another piece
 of my substance,
 drains away...

I ache to reach out
 tracing the words
 and pictures
 rippling on your skin
 that reveal a story
 of our time,
 I want to memorize
 each line and curve
 in the tips
 of my fingers
 and rub them
 against my temples,
 to relive the journey

But another memory
 is lost and erased
 in the torment...

shaking,
 my lips fail to move
 with an answer
 to the question,
 the power
 of communication
 is slowly
 being downgraded
 and exchanged 

And yet another day
 of living in silence
 commences...

now no longer
 in my peripheral,
 I am bereft
 and grieving,
 tossing my head
 in denial
 I rake my nails
 across my face,
 finally, I lay down
 in the valley
 of the dead,
 no longer fearing
 evil, I have become
 emptiness and sorrow
 my veil of sadness
 is catching the tears
 of the neverwas.

Another moment
 existing in the land
 of the living dead...

unraveling my mind
 unhitching my soul,
 you've unmade
 all there is of me
 I am unwinding
 unweaving, un-sewing,
 redeveloped into
 the unbecoming.

Another hour began
 sitting in the canyon
 watching a fall...

--- 

Much later,
 in the corner of my eye
 a miracle lit a spark,
 it now smolders
 deep within my core
 and at will
 it is flaming free.

Another strand of hope
 has been cast,
 and it’s coiling inside me...

Downgrade

Black umbrella pupils
Unfurling as my lips
Hold my tongue hostage
Your arms batter my heart's door
Howling winds ripping the roof
Off all our broken promises
But then your lashes shuttered stuck
As my fingers danced in your rain
Your lips downgraded 
A hurricane


------
Knew it was a matter of time before I wrote a hurricane poem. Hurrah for being a Floridian.
Downgrading storms= storm weakens/ends

Atheists Rhapsody

Life is beautiful,
but how about afterlife?
This prominent atheist
downgraded all my hopes
for meeting with lost relates and close ones
and eternal life with my love
in Edem
or eternal suffering  with my enemies
in Hell.

It is really awful for truly believers
one day lost all hopes for hopes,

There are no Hell,
no Paradise,
no reincarnation,
no escaping, no ressurection.
Comlete darkness before and after.
That truth equal to submit all Death of Deaths,  
when come clearly understanding  
that you are never meet more 
with mother,
that you have not other chance
to be a director of company, or lieder of nation,
or savior of nation, 
that no one saint or prophets
descend to you
with kind word in you last instances. 

He didn’t deny God
but explained  him 
from the point of evolution theory, 
If he really existed 
he dwelled in frame of scienctific process
as some superhuman creature.  

How long I prepared for grand miracle
and Judging day?
And now I perfectly informed 
and got intrinsic prove
that I am  
the greatest luck or mistake 
and nothing more instead
in this cool mathematical explaining  and expanding Universe.

Mistreated By the One I Love

She was the love of my life
But was never much of a wife
Which caused a whole lot of strife
Her hatred cut through my heart like a surgical knife
Once full of life now praying for a change in life
The love faded as the hate invaded
My thoughts persuaded while my presence was degraded
Always making me feel like you downgraded
All along my soul forever shaded
Wishing I knew the reason I was hated
Or why the feelings were abated
Dreaming of the day that I will be extricated
We were definitely mismated
What a fool as I stand here life deflated
Can only hope it will be mended
Its always myself I'm defending
Time to stop pretending
No more room for bending
The unrelenting ending is impending

Give Love a Try

You know my words are different, especially when they touch your heart.
I tried to rule the world, I couldn't get passed the smell of your beautiful, green, Vine-like hair.
I'm ready for your kiss of death, actually I've been ready for a while now- just like a faithful husband should be!
Or have we downgraded to just me and you?!
You left me standing there- outside in the rain.
You threw my love in the trash , but how about we give it a try one more time?


What Songwriter or writers Inspire you????

Jonas Brothers, and Eminem

Armageddon

Life has changed we live in fear 
Stay safe take care are all we here  
The lockdown has started but when will it end
Will the system break or will it bend 
Will this world ever be the same 
Who’s to punish who’s to blame
Marshal law is now the rule 
As the virus searches dark and cruel 
Ones you care for and love so much 
Are locked away denied our touch 
The Streets are silent the laughter faded
Our first class lives are now downgraded 
Distances, a thought in constant motion 
Provokes alarm creates emotion 
Relationships suppressed devoid 
Programmed now to swerve avoid 
survival and self preservation 
Cover and Consume our nation 
Armageddon holds its breath 
fills its lungs with every death 
Waiting in the wings of life 
To make its entrance flail its strife

Lets Go To Live Forever

Let’s go, dear, to live together
and we should look eventually
what happen with such decision,
certainly we are growing fast older and downgraded
going to end, my sugar candy,
but we have been together,
that s sound finely, doesn’t?
 
So let’s keep living together.  
No one warranted
what happened from such idea:
would we live in peace and harmony
or our life have been hurly-burly,
the whole one endless cacophony,
maybe we are both drown
with tsunami of troubles and problems
or we shall find way for harbor
our safety and harmony, 
or our ship will moved to divorcee
and fighting for shearing  joint collecting property.
No one know answers for that hellish questions
and predict future possibilities and revelation
in all its damned variations, 
maybe love will thousand times cursing
and regretting and lamenting
for this occasion  and  acceptance
of long waiting meeting, suggestion and dance.

But let’s keep living together
right now and without any postponing 
traying never miss each other’s
and we are looking for what’s happened later,
growing older and downgrade
but we have been live with you together
my dear sugar candy,
let’s, please, living forever.
