Best Hor Poems


Premium Member My Poetic Restaurant

Were I a restaurant proprietor
Al fresco and exclusively for poets
My menu would be cryptic metaphors
Original from memories echoic

Spring rhymes of happy times and brighter days
Fresh summer sonnets mostly bittersweet
Then autumn prose on multicolored trays
Some winter villanelle hor dourves for treats

And if you come your muse can eat for free
Imagination is a welcome guest
There is one rule, no dictionaries please
Yes, thinking caps are furnished on request

Come dine with me until you get your fill
The best part is you'll never get a bill

Asinine 
The Poem 

Spit and glue
Tape on glasses
Lace on wrinkled rumps 
Lipstick on lizards
Ants in bee-hives
Parties in the cemeteries
Toothfairy bank robbers
Dunces in libraries.

Rhymes on caution signs
Large Letters for the deaf 
and hearing aids for the blind-
          Asinine.
I think, to see a cripple crabs with crutches,
bow-legged spiders with a pigeon toe-ed cat.
Or a knock-knee-ed rabbit- with a Multi-Colored Bat 

Apes eating hor devours
Amish wearing Hats no-more

Imagine the scenic scene 
That we would see-
If the Sky replaced the sea- 

Spit and Glue will never do-Spit 
won't do, when you need glue.

Dressed to kill with taped up glasses,Lace on strippers
with wrinkled rumps 
It's a crazy poem but I really feel
You should never read rhymes on  caution signs.


CAUTION

Look up here
have no fear – 
There have been 
twenty-six 
accidents right here- 
When you slow up 
to read this rhyme
you may get hit 
from behind
cross the white 
line and smash 
over the medium

War

Undeclared evil intentions imposed
The dark side of ma·lev·o·lence exposed
Magnified by sheer brutality of acts composed

Aaaaah, evidence one can clearly see'th 
All of humanity is faced with 
Tragedy from hor·ren·dous acts commit

Shockingly dreadful acts caused by 
Misplaced human beings cry
Who are currently living with an anger eye 

Thus, being poured out in ways taking place
Never before seen or experienced 'bout face
On this planet's dust base

O Lord, thus is the day in whence for
Rev·e·la·tion is transcending upon us hardcore
In other words, ''WE ARE AT WAR''

Squalling seagulls sip the morning sunshine 
Circling 'round high for their breakfast hor d'oeuvres 
Filling their cheeks while their baby ted's whine 
Mewing and Keowing for what mother serves 

Circling 'round high for their breakfast hor d'oeuvres 
Loner's afloat adrift on calm water 
Mewing and keowing for what mother serves 
Sitting on waves as they splash and swatter
 
Loner's afloat adrift on calm water
Dipping their heads as they eye for a snatch 
Sitting on waves as they splash and swatter 
keowing and mewing in hopes for a catch 

Dipping their heads as they eye for a snatch
Filling their cheeks while their baby ted's whine 
Keowing and mewing in hopes for a catch
Squalling seagulls sip the morning sunshine

Let's Play Pretend

hazy pale substance
spreads over stale rye toast
you crunch it
too loudly
your mother says
chew with your mouth closed
paper napkins
in a big black trash bag
smeared with hor d’vers
cocktail parties you weren’t invited to
i laugh when 
you drop food on your lap
your mother scorns
alone on a porch
remolding the moon 
brie cheese wedges
you thought the stars
were too tiny to hold close
it was my party
i pretend not to like you

Hollywood Freaks

glittering gold crosses 
adorning muscled, tanned bodies 
endlessly liposuctioned into Versace
worshipping the almighty dollar 
as they cruise the golden boulevard 
disciples of Bentley and Rolls

paying lip service to the lord
with collagen smiles 
gracing plastic personas 
attending parties in mansions 
of champagne pools 
served cocaine hor d'oeuvres  
Hollywood freaks 
housed in elegance 
furnished by fantasy 

friendships built on lure 
reputations a headline 
image a status symbol 
marriages made in Vegas heaven 
Elvis holds the key 
to Graceland 
divorces like seven elevens 
dotting every corner 
littering the landscape 
with strewn lives 

broken families and values 
throw away children 
interchangeable, designer 
values learned upon Hollywood's stage 
too rich, too famous 
brilliant birthright or ultimate demise

see Paris smile 
oozing techno melodies 
enhanced vibrations 
for adoring consumption 
preparing to tousle on silken sheets 
taped erotica, enjoyed and outrageous 
sensationalism sold and eaten whole 

triviality for the world to eat up 
fodder for the eyes and mind 
narcotic of unfulfilled aspirations 
of the young and easily beguiled 
rap kings with wordy crowns 
in bullet proof vests 
turf wars fed silvery bullets 
embellished and devoured 

anti-establishment encouraged 
women bartered, raped in words 
advocated sentiments 
that churn within little minds 
arise, listen to the lies 
hidden within a P Diddy smile
as body guards wade through the fray 
protecting the now for an uncertain future 

fooled, seduced by ironic images 
distorted for our entertainment 
Hollywood freaks 
proving that all that glitters 
is not truly gold!

The Stuff Im

I'm not wholly what my  parents are
hor the color of my skin or hair by far
nor the clothes I wear
nor the partner with whom life  I share

I'm the books I read
for  my substance they sow the seed
I'm all the words I speak
that's why my  company, people will seek

I'm  the smiles I try to hide
I'm every tear I've cried
I'm the songs  I sing privately
they make me  bright and spritely

I'm the things I believe in
I'm also that which makes me sin
 I'm also  the future I dream of 
these dreams make my stuff

but it seems  I  forgot
what makes me  so much sought
all this has me  defined
some people may scoff the others find me refined.

Person's Precedence Hor Haiku

Person's Precedence Hor Haiku

Should a precedence
Be set up by presidents
Which would make much sense.

Stifling the Flower Brings Rain

When growing a flower there’s a few things you need,
Water and sunlight and room for the leaves.
If you tend to your flower with warmth and with care,
It will one day sit tall with assured debonair.
But if someone plunges their hand and plucks its root,
It will shrivel up and perish under their unthinking brute.
Their one little tug on its fragile, soft stem,
Will tarnish your hard work with a righteous condemn.
But what’s more than your hard work gone to waste,
Is that they were the architect of your own distaste.
You dreamed and you wished to see your little plant grow,
But someone took their fingers and dug out its soul.
In one fell swoop of their unthinking mind,
Their gratification took hold of your flowers intertwined vines.
Their compulsion to see that patch of dirt bare,
Has left you reeling and lonely, filled with despair.
How did your flower,
So small and so fair,
End up lying shriveled and wilting in the hor summer air? 
It came to be something to rip out and then toss back into the dirt,
Only to be a second of entertainment for an act in its lack of meaning, overt.
You watered it and basked it in light,
And it got torn from the grass, too helpless to fight.
For how can a flower fight against a man,
Who decides he can rip it from its life before it even began.

Ye Zindagi Bhi Alag He Paheli Hai

Ye zindagi bhi alag he paheli hai,
Na Jane kiski kismat me kya liki hai.
Jo khelna caha wo bhi tuta, Jo na kela paya wo bhi Rutha,
Jo samaj na cha ha Wo apno se tuta.

Koi na jane kiske mane ,
Kya saccha kya juhta ye kon Jane ,
Insaan rang roop se bhar na dek paya,
Atma ko Chood kar sharir ko apnaya .

Khushi batne se badti hai, 
Ek muskurahat me puri duniya Kilti hai.

Na kise ko dukh doo, 
Na kabhi dukhi ho,
Doo din ki zindagi me Kush raho,
Hor Kush reha ne doo.

Ek dus reke bina puri duniya akeli hai,
Ye zindagi bhi ek alag hi paheli hai .........

Intake

i seem to be
laying sleeping
dry but porous
before you rain
on me showering
me not with ego but
the power of poetry for
you're words i absorb be
cause i'm a sponge among
other things also being one

that recalls days when younger
as well as among memories
before i was born not 
still born but still 
before i was 
born like 
when in 
my Mum
's womb 
when i

kicked 
hard so 
hard that 
i made her
hiccup but
what was to 
become a giggle
then she knew a
silly son was about
to rise above her hor

i zon thus then to
begin her and i's 
battle that now 
i'm not proud 
of for i cross
ed that line 
so many
times 
that
she 

needed 
a stop watch 
and a diary to 
keep watch over 
for what i'd become 
or not and now though
she has passed the past 
will always be in the present 
but not gift wrapped but warped 
for not what it's glitter is worth for

now my she is not my Mum
but someone who com
forts and keeps me
safe in mind kind
ly expressing th
at which when
read but so very
soon to be heard
which when will 
leave me speechless

but 
never
forever
actually
having left 
me but will be 
with me as i soak 
up her words mouthing
them in a 
type writt

en form forming
the what from
mi Musa to 
her poetry
that only
she not
i can
say 
is
s

peak
so now
i know when
she has spread
my legs and lips
and taken and kiss
ed that which i have
willingly given to give
what which will never be
forgotten or to be ever 

me
