Best Ignored Poems

When I was young, an urban lass, and not gregarious,
I’d never dream of speaking to a stranger on a bus.

I’d sit, demure, my eyes downcast, and hope quite desperately
That none of those weird passengers would try accosting me.

But, now I’m “fair and forty” (ish!) I’m...

We talked,
But I wasn't heard,
We walked,
But you scattered,
We built,
But you destroyed,
I thought,
But you acted,
We were determined,
But you exterminated...

You were blind,
I was sighted,
You were darkened,
I was lightened,
I was myself,
You weren't yourself...

I was lone,
No one cared.

I was ignored,
No one cared,
About my emotions......

I am the last resort, afterthought
when all the pretty ones have turned you down
I am the one who falls back and takes it
my crown an ignored frown

I am the one who opens up until you're done
I am the voice unheard

I ask no questions, I just...

Sweet breath of steaming treats traveled

through the diner, the streets, lingered

and was ignored by all

but one. A lone little girl with dirt

upon her nose. Savory juices ran

down laughing chins, dripping

with the ending rains.

Her trembling fingers flicking

little dots of mold.  Standing beneath

 wondrous sights, dancing...

Just ignore this
nothing but
letters
on paper
taking
a stroll
across
the lines

Out in
the fresh air
with
eyes wide
open
newly
released
from
a pen.

Throaty, rhythmic guitar rolls
Across the room and calms my hands.
His voice, like a cigar box angel
Pokes around my insides and opens my mouth-
It finds plenty of nesting spots.
I wait for you to turn around
To see each word he has sung
Poking out of me in relevant...

I am a poem that no one wants to read
I am a path that few desire to tread
A rejected script that is gathering dust
This world of ours can be truly unjust...

It seemed to me, when the sun set and his eyes mirrored clouds with raindrops that had yet
to fall, it seemed to me...

we'd been ignoring the weeks it took to get this far.


I'd spoken often, on Wednesdays, when I sat alone and conversation happened to...

You stopped to stare
But didn't bother to speak
I cried at your back....

POET IGNORED


One must go on, though comments are rare.
And grit one's teeth as a
Grizzly Bear.
If you are one of these,please 
be true to yourself.
This site after all is called
Poetry Soup,
Not the Comments Shelf!

Be patient, be kind, even though
seeing few comments makes
you cry.
Your poetry...

Ignored, Her words mean nothing.
What she has to say does not matter,
There for she does not matter.

Nothing, worthless.
Her heart is a toy to play with.
She values nothing but a merely cow.
Sold throughout masters.

What makes her happy
Gets thrown away.. Memories lost as well.
There is nothing in...

Why do I care more about others than myself?
Isn't a rightful liaison a duty to give away a joy that
isn't perspicuously mine or should it be considered so? 
And that brings up this poignant and perplexing question:
how to cope with criticism and still subdue my...

So Often Ignored

Nannies know little of color
White holding favor by 5th Ave employers
Barons and Baronesses of means
Gazing from insulated windows on high
As infant guardian merges blanketed carriage and job
Into daily Central Park realities

Inquisitive bundled baby stares
Starched guardian
Folded like a napkin atop the park bench
Idles her...

Dedicated to Charlie Cooper, poet brother, R.I.P.
, 
 Awake to  God’s Touch +++

Desperate prayers
Shouted, even silently
Howling heavenward:
Begging, pleading    
Again
For God to come…

Poignant prayers
Revealing struggles,
And needing help   
   to go on through
Present straits; to be
Embraced through
Aloneness and fears.

Those...

O terrible Sea you swept me up,
I see my dream in a person!
O frightening Sea you fill my cup
Of bad schemes, your visits worsen!

The Cloud beyond your wonder hovers
Above me, your claim's never touched.
In secret, we can be great lovers!
With just your Blue, my heart...
