Best Fixedly Poems

God sometimes does pray to man;
Quite often we hear him not.
But once above the din of earthly prayer 
I did hear his voice;
Through the dizzying whir of angels' wings 
His prayer came loud and clear;
A prayer in a tongue I can scarce recall 
But which...

within Zieglerville, pennsylvania

genuine snow white hair 
upon her noggin doth adorn,
perhaps she will divulge to me (in private) 
after i croon (to said lass), 

the melody of Jimmy Crack Corn
hmm...or, maybe this mission 
perchance twill be doomed from the start, 
and hence finding me forlorn...

C’est la vie, Billy!

   His cheeks a deep scarlet, 
     His jaw tightened in an eerie grin,
        He stands, rooted to the spot

Happiness, a silent dawn, is born beneath the eyelids of sleep,
Smiling like a stolen kiss from paradise,
In the dream of the night that just melted into the morning light.
It is the love for the morning
You always despised, now illuminated by a different hope.
Happiness, the sudden...

If you were to embrace me one moment,
I would melt in the fissures of your throbbing prestidigitation
My heart would dare not let me see the poison you excrete
My mind would make excuses, to be in your arms again

Devil! how you break me down so lovingly,
With...

I descended the wretched trench of lies with willing defeat,
My heart severed too many times to ever even care
Of what horrors lay beneath

I face the unknown with a corrupt thirst
I have seen these familiar twisted faces, 
And I greed for their ends—for the cease of...

The stones slipped through the great fingertips of God
Each ligure staked its existence on the four corners of the universe
The quadrivial region began to spin and pull into a sphere
And pathways revealed their footholds 

The fourth ligure bravely landed in the midst of history
So that...

Standing statuesque 
At the traffic lights
With my sign in hand
My banner
With my shield I stand

Begging for alms 
Asking for care
For you to care
As you fixedly stare
In another direction

You have edited me out
You see me but not
I have been removed
I have been photoshop’ed
I am an un-person...

Ooh, the sky
carrier of my favourite colour,blue
Whenever i feel down and blue
All I gotta do,is look up to you
And all my problems reduce leaving only a few
I envy the birds who fly through you
Sometimes,I search through words to describe this feeeling,praying to find a clue
But...

After beguiling charisma,
damnable excoriations fixedly,
gamely, horribly, insult jesting,
kibitzing, loosely mindless nattering,

outlandish pablum, quintessentially
representing senseless trumpeting,
unswervingly vapid wordy
X-DOUBLE-MINUS
yawping zest.

If ye did not already guess from thee 
above blimey claptrap, Das English flap
doodle glib human incorporates jokingly,
kookily, laughably mashedup nonsensical, 

oddly, peculiarly, questionably ridiculous, 
spluttering total unintelligible...

Wandering through the memories, the old couple smiled
Observing fixedly the wedding album kept as a treasure
Naming the photographs that were taken for the leisure
Dwelling on the mind the years that were far in the time
Emerging a wish that will strength their lasting romance
Renewing their vows...

I was in my chemistry class (lecture #2) and the professor was asking a series of questions. At first, hands were flying up, the answers were easy. But as questions got more complex, and the odds of being right fell off, confidence and raised-hands faltered....

There was a time in yesteryear
When I had lived alone,
I had come across a certain fear
Of things that dwell below

My mind kept leaping back inside
The dark holes of the unknown
Till one night I felt cruel eyes
Burning into my own

I hadn’t welcomed it I swear!
—please do...

Brownian motion writ large...
within small medium 
as light brainstorm doth 
hail forth the following poem.

Across the realm of gray matter
slowly percolating within tissue
composed of neuronal, glial 
and endothelial cells, and although 
there must be biological rules 
that determine the numbers 
of cells of each subtype...
