Best Invented Poems

THE IRISH INVENTED EVERYTHING

Ireland invented everything; I think it’s fair to say
From the automatic office door, to the LED display
We put the first man on the moon, conceived the mobile phone
Discovered Mars and Pluto, and of course, the twilight zone
Planes and trains and trucks and...

Someone else wouldn't have waited 
this long and be told an untruth...
another guy wouldn't have been patient,
but be swayed from the deception of heart;
it's another promise invented
for a belief that has no worth!

Why hold on something which is not real?
Why give useless love to someone...

A shout out to the guy who made up language, 
Inventing diction, style, speech and sound,
Especially the creation of the little prefix pro,
Making words potent, deep and profound.

Some add-ons he added were genius, 
Joining para with dox, to puzzle what we use,
And then, adding an...

According to pompous Al Gore, he claimed to have invented the internet!

Well, I'm certainly delighted to hear that - we are forever in his debt!

I have rather serious doubts about that dubious claim, however.

My understanding (tho' not all that well understood) is that it was...

Before time was written and God made man,
I held a deep love for you, so divine-
Sometimes confusing, hard to understand,
but after many years I called you mine.

Before the constellations took their shine,
I knew you were the only one for me-
One night of fine dining and...

Stark contrast 
Of degrees and shades. 
The invented man 
Confused for days. 
Reveal to me your world, 
One of contrast and without words. 

A reflection of flowers 
Swim through the coffee table, 
And a lonely chair of fables, 
With colors lost in shades. 
True revelation...

The man who invented pockets,
Never owned a bag.
The man who invented pockets,
Had really tiny hands.
The man who invented pockets,
Bought the patent in a flash,
so The man who invented pockets,
Was never short of cash.
The man who invented pockets,
Was a kleptomaniac,
The man who invented pockets,
Couldn’t carry everything...

I
retired from education, sharing with (not scaring)
OUR YOUTH
oblivious of persistent prejudice, labor migrant past piercing 
the present
until i left America for South Africa, returning to Natal nativity,
COMPLEX TRUTH
missionary in Eastern Cape province, an elder of Newtown blurted:
"coolie man"
Yes, siblings, labels like "Hotnot, Coolie, kaffir" are...

Know why I think this way? 
Go watch the tall grass sway
and the faint flutter of leaves 
responding to summer breeze.

Catch robin's "bob and run," 
searching for wiggle worm,
or dolphins' graceful glide, 
with his companion beside.

Trace a monarch's pirouette, 
before it comes to rest 
on...

curse be the day that gun was invented
the creation of gun 
is like the born date 
of the devil 
this evil invention
is killing us in a hurry 
so sad so many human 
are even it best friend
like the gunman 
with just a click 
a soul...

She likes her feline side; it cozies up to warm books.
But pirate woman is not far behind, slashing and swashbuckling.
Her mood does not last a week, a day, or an hour.
She is mercurial, flexible, a chameleon.

Living striped, polka dotted and in paisley.
Reveling in silk, linen,...

April graces us with showers, 
As cold snows melt, their wintry scene
Is changed to many shades of green.

From tender shoots, soon, Spring flowers,
Apollo's face is golden fair...
The scent of spring is in the air.

As blossoms float down from bowers
When gusts of April breezes blow, 
They...

RISKING REPUTATIONS (written in Samantha's invented form, a poetic trinitas)

Lipstick smears,
Pillows stain.
               Lack of forethought?
Surprising tears –
A cleansing rain.
            ...

My cat sits on the window sill

My cat sits on the window sill


Watching the birds and bees fly by

They flit and flutter in the sky

Her antics more than meet the eye

Watching the birds and bees fly by


My cat she lets out such a sigh

My cat...
