Best Exploratory Poems

A dream

To hear the whippoorwills' sad urgent  call
I was very glad when I was a lad
But now twilight nearing new season's fall
My Essence of truth my consciousness calls

My tears being not of my former years
For sake of humans I now turn my cares
As compassion...

Upon rising, awakened by 
ripening scent teasing my nose, 
trilling my lips and tongue, – my taste buds opening
to bird-like songs as dawn's light breathes new life
and hope into my journey, so begins
a fresh flutter of time, an extending 
run of exclamatory chirps and wing-full
stretching...

"Samsara in the 5th"



The phenomenal world
is illusory, it calls for 
nothing of substance
romance is laid out
legs and hearts spread
open like a catalogue 
touched through the 
remittance of words
clicking like 
manolo blahniks
across a warm keyboard
cool slender fingers become
long legs that wrap around 
a mind the other...

I get it! Love one another,
trying our best to get along...
but, when it comes to pertinent 
issues, how does one compromise
with wrong? Well, no one
knows the truth, each having
his or her own – hmm...so, burn
your bibles, ignore your
parents, no seeming facts
should be incorruptibly sewn to
the...

     Au Natural, our first birthday suits
       soon obscured by zip-up rompers and baby boots

    Baby’s not embarrassed by her appearance
       insecure parents run interference

In the Work That Reconnects,
we have a dialogue exercise
in which Person A asks Person B
"Who are you?"
several times over a few minutes,
as it feels right to reprime this exploratory pump;
then person B does the same for person A.

The person hosting, facilitating, enabling
this reiterative question's redundant...

molten times, volcanising immensity, vast plateau
  belly-belching landform
  oceans, shallow seas and lakes swell up and down
  land-bridging, submerging
  any one place moving astride, stutter-shifting
  continental drifting world
  climate changes over faster beating rhythms
  cyclic seasons weathering

Writing beautifully is a unique art,
It requires a powerful imagination.
You can write with tender delicacy or,
You can write with an exclamation.

You can be descriptive, exploratory, and persuasive, 
Or a narrative fictional poet.
And you can write your ideas using elegant words, 
Then, on Poetry Soup, you...

Goodness, I nearly lost my balance on the spiral seashells and broken sea stone chipping matrix.
My quaint obsession with marine life and that skyline paradox blossoming so tantalisingly,  might be a source of some unfortunate accident.
“Be careful, Hunter.”
A dramatic otherworldly start to our long...

Return to Forever,
a seminal eclectic jazz band of the seventies
My teenage years,
my rebellious years
I loved that band,
for more than their unique brand
of cosmic musical forays
No, listening to them separated me from my teenage peer pack:
they liked listening to formulaic cookie-cutter pop,
I preferred zoning out on...

Are there medical treatments to cure this disease? Will clinical trials shine a light on
this sickness? Will exploratory surgery find the source of where it all began? Will
radical and controversial experiments result in new ways to manage this progressing virus?
Will it just be assessed by...

This sonnet was inspired while celebrating my daughter’s birthday. Everyone was eating
cake except me. I hardly ever eat sweets. “A moment on the lips, forever on the hips”.
Anyway, while they were enjoying the moment, I began to muse. Later that evening I
composed this:

My daughter is...

WHEN WORDS FLOW LIKE RIVER 

He had a master’s degree in English literature
Words flowed from his mouth like flooding river
Made him an accomplished smooth speaker
An acumen he acquired for people to endear.

The first encounter with him was exploratory
He had warmly asked in spare time what...

Resting my weary head upon your chest
Soothing lullaby your heart beat strums I like best
Tracing body outline with wandering gentle fingertips
Placing sweet kisses with luxurious lips
Safe Haven wrapped inside your arms
Dreams become reality nightmares can do no harm
Anticipating sweet tastes that roll-off exploratory tongue
Hitting high...

who the hell let that pimp in?

My boss grabed me, then

Immediatly, I became the next candidate for exploratory surgery;

Sodomized with a paring knife to remove the alleged ******** from my ass;

I immediatly volunteered for pimp removal surgery,

Flooding! On a gurney headed for the emergency room;

As...
