Best Emphasise Poems


Premium Member Celeste Romance

I gaze at those fireflies in
your butter-sweet eyes that shine,
succulent with white lush pulp
of love's purity,

you hue my wildflower heart
with hyacinth, as we twirl
like spring-shaded tulips in
life's regal-black psalms; 

mon cherie, I wish for stars
to sequin your shimmering
wine soul and cradle comets
of faith in your fate, 

as, rubies glazed with honeyed
hibiscus and nectarine
daisies will be my pink muse,
forevermore true;

afterlife shall foretell our
lavender soliloquy
of celeste romance, whipped in
soft beige affection, 

and your coral spirit will
eternally emphasise
cherry letters as tokens
of swan-shaped twin flames.

Sales - Day After Christmas Contest

Awoke with a feeling of deflation
The razzamatazz is over pressie’s given
Then a thought arouses me with a smile
Whilst the men watch the sport on this boxing day
A few cans in reach
We females can hit the sales with parking queues for a mile

Like a rugby match the people snatch and run
So much on offer, it’s all in the fun
You don’t try it you buy it cos it’s less than half price
A bargain is a bargain , wouldn’t usually look twice

You go home laden with things you know you’ll return
Was a bargain yet not quite what you yearn
Wearily you slip off your shoes with a big yawn
Food’s in the kitchen, help yourself, this maid is tooo worn

Been a wonderful day,  so different from Christmas
Yet they both need each other to emphasise the past

Space For Sale

Space for sale

Let me spell out our position 
Earth is certainly running out of space,
no obligation it’s your decision 
so my friend get ahead of the inevitable race,

we are offering a new world among the stars
a place for the future, luxury in Venetian red

for all of yours and your family’s needs 
any worries or concerns we will certainly address
your chance to live on a planet that exceeds,

that you consider your family’s future,
unfortunately Earth will soon be dead, dormant 
move to Mars take charge become a ruler.

so we advise you not to delay

it’s what you deserve, it’s what you’re worth.

Cuckoo Dancers

Cuckoo Dancers

Discarded dusty beer bottle lying dormant on the tracks
Commuters await their carriage
Adorned in business like macks
Trees sway in gentle breeze
Capable of more tension,
Performing their shedding of leaves
Far too many to mention.
 
Pigeon jumps on pigeon
Mating season for all to see,
Another squirrel scurries across the tracks,
Across leaves and debris.
Solitary heron surveys the scene,
The dance of the platform,
The cuckoo dancers ensue.
 
Discarded shower gel lies half empty on the tracks,
How this could have got there, no one can tell
One person steps forward to check for his train,
Another steps back with woeful refrain
This pattern continues to emphasise my point,
Stemming from this anxiety a new dance I anoint.
 
Discarded crisp packet bounces gently across the tracks
Reminding me very much of a man on the moon,
Station clock shows the train arrival is now late,
Man grunts, swings his brolly...he is clearly irate.
 
Discarded cigarette pack fades gradually on the tracks
Whilst woman fixes make up, man kills time by playing with his phone,
Amazes me how people just can't leave them alone!
Man lights his cigarette in a reluctant fashion,
His car has broken down and he hates public transport with a fervent passion.
 
A multitude of people are gathered here today,
Business attire the name of the day
A brief case, a brolly, a black bowler hat,
And in some extreme cases
A flasher mack and a comedy 'tache!
 
Suddenly in the distance
A growing light appears,
A communal silent sigh of relief
As the train begrudgingly nears
Man stubs out his cigarette
As the train makes its approach,
In anticipation of his selection of coach.
 
Discarded Autumn leaf floating lazily across the tracks,
The platform is now empty
Awaiting its latest cuckoo dance!

Nudist Lady

Noticed the Nude lady from the rear
Within the full moon 
Such a unique image was imprinted in my memory
In my lifeless heart, it burned itself.

Ancient opponent's wailing can be heard in the distance
She approaches, grinning with her bare breast
She is Naked flaunting her wonderful curves while being utterly bold
She exudes a lot of confidence.

She suggested, 
"Let's play the Naked Romeo and Juliet"
Under this lovely moonlight
We must emphasise our contrasts if we are to make progress.

Let's reclaim this night back from the animals, liberated and Naked
We will not bend or break because i am a kid of the moon,
And you are a child of the never-ending night, 
And we shall remove their hatred by shaving it away.

Praying Hands

Why do we hold our hands as we do
When we pray
Is it relative to our thoughts
I hear us say
Is it so that we can see the children’s hands
So they don’t play
Or is it in reverence or a gesture
We do each day.

Palms together has been a ritual for many years
So where did it start and why I might ask?
Is it gesture of pleading, that our prayers are heard
that we are up for the task,that seems absurd
Maybe it’s the look of a favour being asked 
Because of this position I might be observed
As in the Yoga position, mentally centrical therefore
I can say that observations are in accord 
the palms together does emphasise
the meditative, pleading, respect of most cultures alive.

I Agree

I agree

I see that we must now agree to disagree again,
we cannot all see eye to eye, it really is a pain,
at least, at last, we all agree to disagree again
does this means disagreement then is really all in vain,
for agreement of this nature, in disagreement’s name,
means disagreeing really means we all agree the same.

So now we’ve got agreement can we all see eye to eye
and in our disagreement have another chance to try
to reach a full agreement on the things that made us say
that we agreed to disagree and leave it just that way,
or does it simply emphasise that we all disagree
and really must now all agree, agreement cannot be.

I hope that you can all agree that we may disagree
for we all have our opinions on everything we see,
this leads to disagreement and its usual to find
that every single one of us will try to change each mind,
for only when all others show its your point they can see
can we feel at last that we were right, I hope you all agree....

Grandfather Clock

Swish thud goes the pendulum,
Giving every second significance,
With each moment as important.

Taking me into myself, for myself,
Able to access my abstraction,
Feeling my own presence positively.

The beats remind me of my heartbeat,
There, but not visible: just by intelligence;
Only these clocks emphasise the seconds.

Tradition can stink, but here it settles:
The invention suffices to help me think,
And ponder on my whereabouts.

The anchor escapement mechanism transcends, 
Slowness for me to grasp various possibilities,
Ramifies that there are ways of leaving.

Of leaving the said, the ornate and the strict:
The old can often aid departure even from them,
As given, never to be claimed by anyone.

The Green Silk Dress

The Green Silk Dress
Eons back in time, was a tall maiden fair
A long pair of legs and equally long blond hair.
A green silk dress, she once did espy
The colour would pick the green out in her eyes.

Daily she traveled to the emporium so grand,
She gazed in the window from where she did stand.
The dress was a symbol of all her wants and desires
The size correct, the colour perfection, her gaze did not tire

The bus journey she undertook to see this perfect creation
Desperate to try it on, but the thrill was the anticipation.
It called to her soul, day and night she shed tears
Because the dress she knew may only magnify her fears

The low cut neck, on the silk sleeveless floating gown
Would fit and cling, and make many turn around.
Eyes would follow, people would admire 
The tall blonde girl in green silk, would set many a man on fire.

The day came when she turned up to look,
The sale was made the receipt in the book.
The dress was now gone from the naked manikin 
Hers dreams were gone, though they did not begin…

No silk dress to bring out the colour in her eyes,
No clinging fabric her curves to emphasise.
With the loss of her dress her dream did die too
Returning home sadly, her countenance now blue.

With tears in her eyes, she had turned and left dazed
Never again would she stand there and lovingly gaze.
Life passed her by and her one funny regret
Was never to step though the door, and try in and yet…

It taught her a lesson she was ready to learn...
Regrets are plenty, when for something you yearn 
Sometimes one needs to step through that door
It may be the one thing you have been searching for...

It may have turned out that the dress did not fit,
The colour may not have suited, or it pinched a little bit.
But one thing for sure she will now never  know
Because she did not have the courage-to give it a go…

The Word Misused I Am

I am the word 
wrongly
used....misused/ In a 
layman's
terms I've been ill-
treated....abused/ A 
professional
might say I've been 
charged with
serious crimes such as
death....accused/ In 
circumstances
where a word for morally 
corrupt
desires would be placed, 
I've been
placed 
instead....confused/ In
situations and relations 
where
I've been understood and
carefully managed or 
used/ by
managers or users, I've 
left them
smiling some even
laughing....amused/
Some say when they hear 
my
name all they remember 
is the
time I left hurt scratches 
on
them....bruised/ Before 
existence
of man I existed, but can 
I say I've
been released from my
duty....excused/ I have 
appeared
in blockbuster movies, 
best selling
books and novels. I've 
hosted and
featured in the most sold 
songs.
Most religions emphasise 
the
usage of me, but the 
usage of me
has been 
minimised....reduced/
Before I take a bow. I 
appreciate
those who not only 
understood
me but combined me 
with fellow
good words....fused/
But yet still I might I've 
been used
or misused. Abused or 
accused.
Confused or amused. 
Bruised or
excused. Reduced or 
fused.
I am The Word Misused I 
Am....

Kind of Life

Love is blind
Love is kind
Kind of nice
Kind of crazy
Crazy coot
Crazy voice
Voice in my bed
Voice in my head
Head towards the beast
Head away from danger
Danger is a trap
Danger is a stranger
Stranger than fact
Stranger than fiction
Fiction is a lie
Fiction is a story
Story of my life
Story for a child
Child of my dreams
Child of my heart
Heart of darkness
Heart of gold
Gold is yellow
Gold is precious
Precious things are sold
Precious things are stored
Stored away in a dusty room
Stored away under lock and key
Key to my heart
Key to my room
Room for comfort
Room for change
Change your life
Change your clothes
Clothes cover up nudity
Clothes emphasise nudity
Nudity glares
Nudity bothers
Bothers me
Bothers you
You are a mystery
You are a riddle
A riddle is a code
A riddle has a solution
Solution for problems
Solution for life
Life is strange
Life is beautiful
Strange...
Beautiful...

Premium Member I Washed My Hands

I washed my hands this morning when I visited the loo,
Then went and touched the tap, which you really shouldn’t do,
And then I scratched my nose, because I had an itch, 
Then with my bare hands I went and pulled the switch!

And then I went and sneezed, with no tissue close to hand
Whilst holding the marmalade, not good you understand, 
With the work surface soiled and the margarine as well,
This damn Coronavirus is my own living hell!  

And so I washed my hands and then to my surprise 
There was no towel around, which I hadn’t realised.
So I’m wandering ‘round the kitchen, like a zombie on the run,
And I had to wash my hands again - oh isn’t this just fun!! 

So I sanitised the kitchen, wiped the work tops too
Then I asked my wife ‘would you mind cleaning the loo?’
I’ve sanitised the door knobs and all the floors to boot 
And just to be sure I thought I’d sanitise the fruit. 

I sanitised my phone but dropped it on the floor,
As I cannot clean a broken screen, I shan’t wipe it any more. 
And I tried to wipe my laptop but it doesn’t like the soap
And now I cannot switch it on, god knows how I will cope!

And the hand lotion I use, which normally lasts a year,
Is not enough to get me through this afternoon I fear,
And so I wash my hands again, a ritual I now despise,
As the scientists keep telling me ‘wash your hands we emphasise!’

Emphasising My Feelings

Images for everything, 
Signs with ripe symbols,
Visuals about anything, 
With no long preambles. 

Instant recognition, 
Vital shapes in miniature, 
Evoking that retention, 
By a certain curvature. 

My feelings emphasised, 
My thoughts are taken, 
They’re compartmentalised, 
So that i do awaken. 

Holographs like hieroglyphics, 
Emphasise what’s said, 
With prominent specifics, 
That make a fine bed. 

My holographic cactus, 
Let my feelings out, 
To talk about apparatus, 
Jaggy, sharp, and with clout.

Dedicated To Her

There is a reason for every word
She took my heart for herself
and hid it from the rest of the world
She has me to herself
"Love" seems to be the word
that has her thinking about me rather than herself
"Husband" is probably the word
that needs a wife, that's herself
There is no one like her in the world
Around me, she becomes herself
"Excited" is most likely not the word
that I should be using and she's aware herself
Photocopy my heart and hand it to the rest of the world
All you see before you, she did it herself
I will love her forever that's my word
Let the actions speak and you'll decide for yourself
"Blessing" is absolutely the word
God said it, yeah I remember, he said it himself
She said she's in love with me and that's her word
I believe her cause she said it herself
"Beautiful" is completely the word
that I should use to describe her inner self
There is no category for her beauty in the world
Gorgeously sexy, she knows that herself
You furiously took the title from women all over the world
and I want you explicitly to myself
"Intellectual", that is scientifically the word
to emphasise Doctor.......ohh I forgot she usually keeps that to herself
"Freak", Shhhhh that is secretly a word
that I rather don't elaborate on and keep it to myself
She makes me laugh just by using one word
Am I selfish for keeping her to myself?
Keep these words as one word
This bond is "Lifetime", that's what we say to ourselves
I am a husband to this woman, tell the world
and tell them nothing else, the rest I keep to myself

She is the word
and she probably wouldn't have thought that she is the reason herself

There is a reason for every word

"and don't forget the pretention"

###########
everyone nodded along as 
the first line Hit 
 cut w-/ Posh .. chugging 
stars , throats end to end slit.

	Schemes o'er everything 
I realise now that you need 
these 'things' , 
imaginary or other wise.	Anything 
to keep the Belief that 
Life is worth living.
	By their ridiculous Forgery 
to emphasise insubstantial shapes , mutilated 
text , colour & breathing connecting Heart 
to Pen under strict obligation 
to remain Nonsense
	Above seperate Action.

I just want to be Honest
	o'er the vicious Cycles of Trend
inspiring by reflection 
	We replace real life as we all 
like Motion Pictures 
	Lost within Code 
he might be you or me Beating 
the walls as we try 
	out these twillight eyes switching o'er
to Terra's Remote viewing 
	zoom ignites thy Bone's hollow Fractures 
happening, pure & simple , we errode
	in a sudden glass moment ...excuse me 
& my obvious slander .. Keeping it real may soon dismay 
at a pulse of Cheekbones ; Paper artic traces flickering on 
nervescreens before our pristine chords reciting
	"Nobody's story" revolving round 
nothing really ... simple words.

Oh Lord its so clear
	All Places & All Times 
		its just us 
trying to make faces in the sky....
		and scream no more dropping 
for
	your daily optic reset calibrating 
BRAND NEW 
	Our CCTV standard view 
	declining to smash utterly as Minute 
Splinters 
	prevent such ink immediate 
between Mind & Matter ,
	Powdered Charcol , meaning the whole 
Legal Judgement satisfied 
		Logic there in  
Personal reasoning & Multi - simplicity
	Leftscreaming up the curb 
as if 
	you were just walking by... Society's Needs 
cackling inhuman . Adverts scattering   w-/ only One 
Purpose 	rocking aby sentence.
		Cast Calm to Create.
