Best Found Poem Poems


Found Poem

Both remained suspended, motionless;
The storm began to subside
But still the sea was disturbed.
“Come! Come courage!”
As I said it, I knew it was a naïve hope.
Who are you if you lose your favorite person?
A sheer drop, black and faceless
It was a bleak, harsh view, 
the sea and the rock unrelieved by any tree or sweep of grass or sand.
Will we ever meet again?
I will sail into the future on mystery’s wings 
and I will not look back.

Life According To a Debater: a Policy Case Found Poem

The 1AC is a shot in the dark. 
When we use interrogative strategies
we create zones of visibility and possibility.
The potentiality for deliberation
towards a new politic.
 
The study of bare life signals
radical transformations;
The constitutive ambiguity of theory
is never clear-- is always double
Thinking of thinking; 
A reflection that interrogates
the link between life and politics.

The relation between power
is complicated to consider.
The most authentic paradigm:
Sovereignty corresponds to ability
And ability not to be: a state of exception.

An act is sovereign when it realizes itself. 
Bodies are made intelligible 
through visibility and value. 
When these components 
are removed, what is left?
 
Operating in the shadows, 
the truth often stays hidden
Fights break out like
“walking on minefields.”
Silently governed interests
implement policy which
silently neglect populations
further into the margins.

The bodies of the victims 
emphasize this state of
exception making it more difficult 
to identify, articulate and critique.
There are rare but significant attempts
to conceive the indistinguishably 
between law and life.

Debate helps curtail individual power: 
to shape behaviors and attitudes,
to be made visible and speak to the 
systemic character of American injustice.
The possibility to fill the void
and mitigate impact of fighting.

Education can have a 
dramatic impact. Mental 
stimulation and meaningful 
human interaction cause 
social connection,
Zones of indistinction
regain the meaning they lost.

The key is to create alternative 
conceptualizations of self 
in relationship to others.
With broad political and social 
movements standing behind,
uniting the call on the part of
democratic transformations. 
Any radical change will be 
more than cosmetic.

Young people now carry the banner
of struggle. Of democratic life. 
A variety of discourses developed 
to avert stemming the flow--
reverting to secrets we do not know.

Claiming that debaters can “solve”
by repeatedly rejecting and interrogating 
the tradition is a key strategy in creating 
new modes of being the secret to every exception.

How it unfolds remains to be seen.

A Revelation - a Found Poem

Triangles tend to squares
tend to circles tend to
reasoning tends to forces
which tend to tending itself.

The law of attraction is attraction
to law which tends to the resolution
of perpendicular forces. 
 
From great circles, arcs vanish
because angles vanish together.
Equal be taken for equal and
things supposed will be.

Then one day...
in the dark,  in the dark
in the deep,  deep dark 
a bright speck floated,  invisible as dreams,  special as Love. 

The last word was only a 
whisper, 
barely understood, and then
there was no more.

June’s dreams
you’re the guide
"meet & greet" 
the ecliptic zoo
a must-see!

a new five worldless day
goes on parade
these planets never stand still
click on Mars to tune up
see Mars square Pluto
as it crawls through Capricorn

truth freedom and that
need to capture the planet
of love we had
pay attention to retrograding
Mercury will be found

become mythology 
find your inner mama bear
June is our goal for 
the best telescope

Saturn will
articulate our focus
to take a New Moon 
in 3 weeks Mercury goes direct
will it continue
its tour with me?

Let's message the universe
friend Uranus on Facebook
tweet from Saturn’s rings 
listen to Jupiter laughing at the solar system   

This is it: Friday!
let it rain diamonds
let the planetary parade begin
let the Sun cook the celestial crab

Premium Member Foundling, found poem

A mark of scarlet was the first,
Fitting of inferior character.
He was associated of plagues,
The name given of a tragedy.

The dead made a bottomless pit on him,
Rendered executed, the title of foundling.

My Sad, Little, Found Poem

Paint me a picture-- 
things you remember, 
things you regret, 
things you miss. 
As if they are all ashes 
of blissful memories. 
Memories, you want 
desperately to cling to. 

Tell me a tale of solitude. 
All in your life is moving 
and you're standing still. 
The rest of the world- 
in warp speed. 

I want you to tell me 
how it feels. 
Make me relate. 
Make it real. 

If you can make me cry... 
that would be great. 

The hardest thing in life 
is to want desperately 
to cry, but not have, 
in you, the strength 
to tear up.

Found Poem

The Angels that are in Heaven,
You know that I love you,
There must be something lost,
For I have an emptiness in the pit of my stomach,
I face the window,
And watch the patches of wildflowers,
That are blooming on the hill,
What we had is in the past,
I steal a look to see the lost memories that we shared,
I wonder how it would be to get one last kiss from you,
The taste of your lips on my lips,
I dream of the past,
And wonder what is too come,
How could I have been so blind to see the love,
That you had for me?
I wish it was true for me like it is with you,
Memories linger,
But it is time to move on,
And face the facts of life.

Found Poem

Please shut 

the ornamental 

gate 

gently - 


lock can be 

temperamental.
 

The lock 

on the ornamental

front gate

has been sticking 

and difficult to open. 

If you find 

that the lock refuses 

to open, 

please use the side 

gate 

by the kitchen. 


The lock 

seems to work

just fine, 

if the last person 

to close the gate 

does not slam 

it, but closes 

the gate 

gently. 

Therefore, please 

close 

the ornamental gate  

gently.

Sword of the Dragon: Found Poem

Hiding, two steps back,
Golden helm on your head,
A slight bow,
smote blade against breastplate.
Jagged hills, clouds hiding a blue sky,
Distant screams of enemies and allies alike
 invade your hearing,
 Hope,
 The enemy doesn’t gain victory!

Watch!
White cape and grey beard, righteous prophet,
Pitch black dragon roared,
Draw your sword!
Light,
Shining through your blade
as if it were a diamond,
reflecting the blinding sun.

Your heart is stronger,
Hold your sword up high courageously,
Crystal blade sparkles,
Thunder rumbles and storm clouds roll in.
Zap!
Green lightning bolts strike near you.
Sorcery!
Bubbles of energy fall to the stoney ground,
The sparks grew, looking like it housed several men,
Nowhere to run and hide!
You, a powerful warrior, strong and mighty
refuses to back down,
Winged men fell from the sky,
Art’en! 
Brown feathers shuddering,
Landed crouched on knees,
Dark wings folded,
Sickly gray skin quivers,
The Art’en charges!

Get ready!
Peace should reign,
Not this chaos,
With brethren fighting against brethren,
You grit your teeth,
Mercy, Mercy the Art’en cries.
You gently pick him up and carry him,
Hopefully you won’t live to regret it,
You are no better than he is.

Freely, give mercy,
Grant forgiveness from your heart,
Noble and true,
Humble and Honest,
The white dragon’s roar pierces through the silence,
Love good,
Hate evil,
The king has returned,
Darkness has been defeated!

More Guns For Everyone Found Poem

Trump Administration Advances Plan to Relax Gun-Export Rules found Poem

The Trump administration 
Sought to relax export rules for American small arms,
 including semiautomatic rifles, handguns, and sniper rifles.

Because the NRA said 
the solution to gun violence
Is more guns
 for everyone in the world

Everyone should be able
 to buy American made weapons
The best in the world after all
And everyone in the world 
needs what the US 
Wants to sell
?
The shift,
 is championed by gunmakers
 who say it
 will make them more competitive 
in the international market. 

Critics argue 
an export policy 
that favors commercial interests
 could put the national security
 of the United States at risk 
or harm diplomatic efforts.?“

 “This decision is also politically tone-deaf 
as our nation reckons 
with a gun violence epidemic.”
?A State Department spokesman 
said that the change
 would ease the regulatory burden 
on American gun makers
 and allow them to compete better globally.

Currently, the Department of State 
monitors exports of nearly all weapons 
.
“The world of firearms exports 
is full of questionable, dubious characters.”

the Department of Justice
 and Department of Homeland Security
 criticized the change 

because it could make it
 easier for transnational criminal organizations
 or terrorists to get American-made guns.

But the NRA
They don’t care
More guns for all
Is the solution to all gun violence

And sadly,  our President 
Has sold his soul
To the NRA

Who offered him 
Millions of dollars
In blood money


note: this may be too political and in your face but I don't care. I have had enough of this nonsense. We must stop the carnage in our streets! That’s my two cents worth and I am sticking to my guns pun very much intended.
