Best Fingerprint Poems

Applying for teacher certification
I caused one technician much consternation

My fingerprints had simply not registered
Again and again the test he administered

“Guess you could have had a career in crime,”
He retorted reapplying ink grime

He said this had never happened before
But the results he surely couldn’t ignore

He sent...

An onyx ink impression
spirals in unique form,
from the dizzying loops
etched in soft flesh--

where furrows weave
like trenches in the earth,
dotting the surface 
with ridges and islands
that protrude in 
evidential patterns....

Fingerprint

Fingerprints.
A distinctive, unique mark that gleams and glints.
The very identity of each of us. 
An even rarer specimen of Creation's most perfect gem.
A wonderful example of what was and what is to come.
A tactile clue of where we are from. 

Fingerprints. The reality of this...

Its fingerprint of astral trace
singles out sidereal face
amongst the heavenly array
of stellar orbs in star ballet
that dance in metamorphous space.

The light dispersals limn with grace
celestial body in its place
for earthly mortals, to portray
its fingerprint.

Yet nature’s flux persists in pace,
as death takes all in vast embrace
despite...

The hallow inside the given tree that calls and beckons to me. 
I cannot help but become enraptured of all there is to see. 
The dancing faeries hop around with immense delight. 
Oh, this is such a pleasing sight. 
But, behold! 
The night is free!
I...

"FINGERPRINT"


the paper and the pen
were invented to 
imprison our scream.

the typewriter
invented to turn our 
tears into bullets.

eventually,
everyone gets tired of
hearing your pain,
they just want theirs
to be heard.

had someone listened,
it would’ve been the
death of me.

now,
only,
death is the death of
me…

and I wait

patiently.

A watercolor world resounds within my child mind
Painted lilies in the filed and cloud shapes aloft to find
This world bears your fingerprint for all of your work is signed

Not a thing goes by without a purpose or rhyme within
Each feather gently stroked on the crested...

That room; 
And the bathroom too, 
She made them alien territory. 
My petty sentiments kicked in, 
And made me a slave to my roommate. 

The scented atmosphere, stockings; 
Frilly brassieres in plain sight, 
And blouses bright as gardens—thrilling,
But foreign!
Lo, an invasive roommate. 

Some mornings she...

Soul Fingerprints

By Mark Stucky
From the midst of multitudes,
elusive, unique fingerprints
identify individuals
as owners of their surface smudges.

Beyond their barely discernable
two-dimensions on smooth surfaces,
memories of casual causal touches,
ethereal fingerprints possess power
to unlock phones storing private secrets
and to solve whodunit murder mysteries.

God’s mysterious, stealthy fingerprints
invisibly mark creation and...
