Best Hyperbole Poems

I See You...

Wanderer, wanderer, lost in the haze
void of direction, succumb to the craze.
Give ear to my madness, so deftly designed;
deception de-jour: aimed to muddle your mind.

Hocus and pocus no need for free thought, 
erase your opinions, your conscious to rot.
As sugar and soda your...

You've no doubt heard of fire-breathing dragons,
and their obsession with hoarding treasure.
But you have never heard of Huffle-Winks,
magical creatures that promote pleasure.

Invisible, atop their dragonflies,
they ride the winds of fate mile after mile.
And wherever they encounter a frown,
they attempt to flip it into a smile.

They...

Time is not
     a ticking clock,
          it has
            no past, present,
          ...

It begins as a gentle breeze
that rustles the leaves with its touch.
Scurrying through the tops of trees,
it begins as a gentle breeze.
Not enough to discourage bees,
it is only brisk; it isn't much.
It begins as a gentle breeze
that rustles the leaves with its touch.

It is only...

A saffron sun sinks into
a sea of aquamarine.
And chartreuse shadows slip-slide
between frothy waves of white.

Night's ebony fingers dip
into the coral waters.
And Sol paints shades of crimson
upon pale lavender clouds.

Tangerine moonbeams gather
like fairies in the darkness.
And silhouettes trap color,
storing each pigment in black.

A watermelon sunset
marks the...

Fact Or Fool Who be You

I have seen
fools ranting 
what's up Pink Floyd
No thinkers, no education 
only poets with muse and frustration

The deniers of science
are committing massive crimes
jail should be their only pudding
sadly Covid takes many of them away
I have no sympathy for their ignorant...

Winds caressing fringes of
   her deep chocolate tresses
as tree nymphs nimbly hid
  midst fallen maple leaves 
    happily prancing round toes,
whilst a crescendo of chimes
   played off in near distances,
warm apple pie aroma wafting
 upon a zephyr...

I love you, but they say I can't
For I'll extinguish you
But that I will defy
That fiery independence
You bow before me and hide
How can I kill the one I love?

You hate, you say, and run 
From me, I will pursue
Will stalk your every trunk
and twig, your...

Look up to see a dome of black velvet
lavishly set with crystals of starlight.
And watch time confetti infinity;
unveiling trillions of lights to the night.

Mars and Jupiter share a reddish tinge
as Venus and Mercury pierce Night's haze.
And though Neptune and Uranus are faint, 
Saturn's elegance evokes...

For This Is The Story, An Old Poet Sought Not To Miss
 (Part One)

I've ate Eden's last apple, coveted Jason's* golden fleece
chained myself in caverns of darkness, begging no release
refused mighty crowns of power, fed myself painful feasts
crushed my beating heart, as if it were...

Malevolent imploded uncontrollably, 
  twisting wildly maniacal posies
   amid diabolically toasted brainstem, 
angst uncompromisingly yanked tresses 
  purging stinging speech patterned rhymes
 amuck iniquitous poetic verses hung
     upside down to tormentingly dry, 
    facing...

There's a place whence children dwell amid

fairy stories, popcorn rainbows & candied unicorns,

which is fine & dandy except when

you're supposed to be a grown-ass adult,

some people live 'round La-La landscapes

without a hint of reality's woefulness,

unable to read skywriting on the cosmos

If you believe in miracles...

As a spent sun sets,
ebony shadows
merge with silhouettes;
penciled in the rough
by a charcoal dusk.

A brazen breeze
makes me shudder;
I feel it's cool
breath on my face.

And as wolves
and fireflies,
welcome Night,

the moon
glints like

gold....

She enters the fray like a storm;
thunder and lightning in her wake.
And a deluge of tears follows;
the very ground appears to quake.

She's an explosion of fireworks;
as spectacular as the dawn.
And igniting flames of fury;
in a blinding flash, she is gone.

A lady to be reckoned with;
fire...

Like shooting stars, they pierce the dark,
painting the sky with bursts of light.
As oohs and ahhs follow each spark,
like shooting stars, they pierce the dark.
Fireworks explode over the park,
raining color onto the night.
Like shooting stars, they pierce the dark,
painting the sky with bursts of light....
