Best Inset Poems


Premium Member :: Box of Treasures ::
I pull down from the shelf
The beautiful box of treasures
Ornately carved
Warm, yet well worn 
To the gentle touch of my fingers

There is no rush
As I sit in this cosy spot
The sunlight of memory
Like a shaft of enlightenment
Beams onto my cheeks

There is a brass clasp
That silently...

One Why
As if there is no one like I to match
Why is that?
I ask all the time where is that other hat?
The head to my ball and catch to my cap

A mind to protect head rounded grounded
When would a cross of paths guide the blind?
The blind...

The Beast of the Cave
When I was young, and adventure routine,
With excitement and newness still unforeseen
I was eager to spread my wings to the world
And seek more adventures as those wings unfurled

Within my long travels I happened to meet
Two other men, with friendships replete
One was named Beckett, the other...

Melt Away Racism
Melt away Racism – Zamreen Zarook
 

Various ways the populace onset,
Launching always begin with an inset,
Day by day every mind starts to feel upset,
But it is sky rocketing on every sunset.

What is the gaining out of this discrimination?
What is the meaning of this aggravation? 
They...

Along the Cottage Kitchen Garden Wall
The heavy odor of lavender polish softly opened the door
Peeling paint  family holiday  house timber-slated chairs
Orange-flower water the  tick-tock of the grandfather clock
Pruning orange fruit  trees  which  grew behind the house
Sunlight streaming into the room through sloping window
onto ...

Iridescence and subliminal flow has condensed within your fragrant bower,
a scene of isolated beauty that portrays the essence of all splendour and redeeming 
power.

You are repose and renewal to my longing soul
which in hunger for such a sight could have stayed unrequited still!
barren and with...

To Raja Ravi Varma
Oh, Ravi Varma, you are a legend! 
When I look at this Indian postage stamp 
(brought out in your honour),
a miniature of your self-portrait 
with the inset of your painting 
of the legendary Damayanti 
with the mystic swan,
I am of course reminded 
of the well-known...

No Mercy Thats a Trainers Life
No mercy for achieving goals
 No mercy for health and fitness
 Keeping you on track
 No mercy that's a trainers life 
 No mercy 
 With a bit pressure
 Trainers know what's best
 No mercy 
 Its a total approach to fitness 
 Pushing you...

After This You Needn'T Regret
After this you needn't regret
Your life is bourn as your child today
Voudrais tu une cigarette?

All stakes are high upon this bet
Though grace and patience is all to pay
After this you needn't regret

In warmth and bonds may trust inset
The glow of knowing till egos play
Voudrais tu...

The Golden Scene
Sun above, looking
Thoughtfully at itself in
Immense clear water.

Adds golden sparkle
To the leaves of the palm trees,
On the green island

Which looks like inset
Against the large, vast sea that
Stretches till skyline.....

As I climb the steps of no tomorrow.
I'll keep my love close until my last breath.
Give me a final kiss without sorrow,
For these gallows will give me my death.

No justice is found for my innocence.
Show them no weakness or flowing tears.
They are hanging me now...

Regain Your World
In a world brimming with danger
where tragedy is no longer a stranger.
with many voices that can lead us astray
They open new doors with the dawn of each day
terror saunter out unabated waiting for death,
To call and thrown down on us grief filled -burden
Strength holds where...

Upon Visiting Gortmore
The new roves are not like the old,
They purvey an unwieldy aspect
To their elderly kindred folk;
Even on this steep hill forms encroach
Upon an edifice grand of bygone grandeur;

 So to ‘Ghurt Muire’ that Jacobean domain
With its winding entrance avenue,
And meadows of barley cane;
There the ancient...
