Best Gist Poems

Germ of an idea
Adrenaline rush
Set your own agenda
                   breaching convention
Step back from fatalism

So as not to come under the scrutiny of an oncologist,
Each six months to check my moles I visit my dermatologist!
His exam is as thorough as that of an investigative criminologist.
Sometimes he'll take a biopsy and forward it to a microbiologist!

Many times he's had my...

Poetry is the air I breathe,
  lifeblood trickling 'tween
    luscious marrow in my bones,
existentially rooted crux reflecting  
Amen's utterances & hallelujah certainties
    'round reality's technical formalities
   foreshadowing furthermost prevalence

I sought my truth within the sky
The squally blue, my wings to ply
A thrust on thermals, carried high
And yet, the gospel that I found?
My feet still fixed to feral ground.

I dared to plunge the oceans, deep
To burn in Neptune's coldest keep
And bleed to soft, abiding...

Before I die I beg to see
a passion built only for me;
a love that's long in destiny
and one that sets me wild and free.

Before I leave this earthly plane
my wish is that I can exclaim
the virtues of love without pain
in rapture pure without disdain.

Before my...

A daunting press of gifted dreams
          The boyish boasts and sculpted schemes
               Brother, fore, and brother, aft

What is the poetry so many write?
Hearts, souls, their passion…

The essence of feelings, 
With rhythm and changing, 
Pacing and flowing so smoothly…

The writing for souls and everyone’s being,
Inside and out without anyone seeing…

The people rewriting feelings and gist
In poetry,
Hearts, souls, their passion…...

The dimwitted Jonathan Twist
Had much trouble getting the gist
He faltered in bed,
Confused in his head
She gave him a slap on the wrist.

More knowledge would have been fun
I was an idiot not to take the plunge
should have focused on versatility instead;
But was too busy enjoying the safe ride.

if you are not going to enjoy the ride,
destiny should not be...

GIST


Glimpse in a smile a boundless glow,
Intuit clear style in joy that glows;
Stretch then each mile with finesse grand,
Touch truth worthwhile in easy flow.

The tragedy that befall us
Are brought by the human hand
They say ignorance is bliss
And for that this seems the land
All this can be reversed
Given this right state of mind
Happiness does come from within
Just try it and you will find
It's us who controls our behavior
Not shame,...

Not much to say
No need to play


Pray on the way
To flood this day


Words have a way
To string fine say 


All in good time
Touch circles rhymes
