Best Exacerbates Poems

Sonnet ‘O Sarcasm, Not

When too frequently posed the question of “you’re not mad at me are you?”
The quick, smart Aleck, retort of “dogs get mad, people get angry or even”, usually follows depending on what they did do.
The following discourse exacerbates whatever is a ’brew.

World Bleeders (#777 words)


If you claim to be sane
in this crazy whirled we live
I pity the world in your domain
in that you forget to forgive
I think your normal is abnormal
You must be one of the takers
not the One's that give
Maybe you're one of the fakers
that...

Here comes the stormy fire,
Burned out my desire,
Racing against my chest, my hearts pacing,
Beating the pulse to a pulp, draining me dry,
Now’s the time to let go of this tandem rope,
Crash through this masquerade, there is no hope
Nobodies to blame, but myself,

It was all coming...

A musical wind blows at my door,
Low frequency soft soothing tone,
Euphony that mesmerises down the floor,
A musical wind blows at my door.

I am at peace with my soul,
Alpine harmonious delightful tone,
Enchantment that lives down the floor,
A musical wind blows at my door.

The wind blows swift...

I sit by the waters edge
Sitting on the border of a concrete ledge
Surrounded by miss-shaped rocks
Formed by the years of repeated water knocks

I throw a line in the water
As a man sits next to me with his son and daughter
On my line I get a...

My favourite song is in play which moves me even when decapitated
shocked not to know where I am
nothing recognizable only my clothes, myself and the song
when about to begin its dance moves
a flash of time and space sweeps away.

My favourite song is in place- unbelievably...

Glowing candles flicker an imminent grief,
Undulant meadows sink then moments brief,
A recluse in silence deep, torment lies only if
Truth recoups when heavy gravels lift,
An answer wayward a curse or a gift.

Cowslips they unfold of features like Jen,
Savages abscond when clock strikes ten,
Perverse acts send hungry...

It's now seven straight days of rain.
It just exacerbates my pain.
Gone is the sun and sky of blue.
God it seems is crying for you.

What sorrow your passing has brought.
You left me so sad and distraught.
I cannot believe it's all true.
God it seems is crying for...

Time’s never obliged ~
Heedless, impetuous fame
Exacerbates traits…
But factitious facades fade
UV-rays on gelcoats, craze…

Retouch, unfinished ~
Tide oblivious, streams on
Rising and ebbing…
Eyes old smile recognition
Young ones urge explanation…

Names so soon obscure ~
Ocean sinking impetus
Leaves afloat, excerpts…
Darn! That cannonball race zipped!
Speedy generations flash…

The apparition of nigh time falls 
upon my king size bed
as I lay alone

The mendacious shadows ramify my walls
and the creepy boogey man
and bed bugs crawl

A plethora of anger, loneliness
and pity glower in my eyes
I stare back
Impuissance cries
Bereft of pride
My emotions and I decry

Faces of...

So who dares foretell what next appears?
A world peace to quell all nations’ fears,
or a universal turbulence, unprecedented?
As the New Year - lamented or contented,
arrives, we’re left with great uncertainty,
as to the future!  No plan nor guarantee
despite the plaints of citizens, world wide,
who plead...

Our beautiful blue planet is in pain;
Rebuffing failed attempts to put things right,
climate change but exacerbates the strain.

The Earth will never be the same again,
and because Man claimed it as His birthright;
Our beautiful blue planet is in pain.

Destruction was wrought for so little gain,
mountains leveled,...
