Best Jibes Poems


Daily Dose
If an apple a day
Keeps the doctor away,
Just think what a poem can do!
If can open your eyes
To a hidden surprise
Or remind you of something you knew.

Why, a poem can delight
Or assure you you’re right
When it jibes with what you might believe
Or tap into your...

POTD 29 Jan 2020

A balmy fragrance of cedar and lime lingers
A will o wisp floats by gathering dew
A mark on the page of another man’s book
A brightly coloured crayon of an unknown hue

A footprint in golden sands sinking deep
A delicate daisy plucked petal of love
An...

Premium Member Poisoned Words- For Dark and Twisted Contest
You stung me with your waspish words
Injecting poison into my very soul
Again and again with those stinging syllables
Your words buzzed around my brain
Still you flew in and continued your scathing attack
It all came so easily to you
Viscous vitriol freely flows from your foul mouth
Deeper and...

Premium Member Salt
You hound me for no reason
With much envy you’re consumed
You see my disappointment
Yet rub salt into my wound. 

You pick on my emotions
Make me out to be a jerk,
You hover with a swagger
Comments passing with a smirk.

I hold to my composure
For I know I’m not...

Premium Member Little Girls and Kittens
It seems that saucy little girls are rather smitten,
By the playful antics of a cuddly, furry kitten!
Whether she teases it with a tantalizing feather,
Or when they take their afternoon tea together!

The long-suffering kitty must find it hard to understand,
Why it must submit to her every...

At 91
Lost your tongue, 
as you fumble to recall the right words to use.
I think of all the words that once flowed so freely,
and where there were no words to fit, 
you simply made them up.  Daft, silly, and fun.

Vast vocabulary resonating at every opportunity.
The...

Backseat
Giggling sitting behind her dad ,holding  balloons to the
sky through the window and sharing the laughter with mom,
friends singing loudly with crackling voices ,throwing jibes at 
each other for being sometimes stupid and crackhead,
enjoying  the drive with best  fluffy buddy
man has always...

What Life Means To Me
Life means I can talk to my friends and others,
When the untravelled sea fills with brothers,
Pleasure rushes the uninhabited areas we just don't sail, 
And when we semiotically emit our meaning, we will prevail; 
Freedom rings with resonance resounding and pervasive,
No need for more traditional...

Evil Revenge
Seal pup eyed,
forgiveness she cried.
Mistakes were made
but deceit and lies
remain to blame
for where she now lays.

Bludgeoned to death
by a word made club.
Born of revenge
for sins to my heart,
punishment fits
her backstabbing ways.

She took the kicks
but wasn't aware
the blows came from me.
Slanderous jibes
to colleagues and friends
tore down...

Fee-On-Her Joy
Fee-On-Her Joy

The peril of the real epitome of African goddess,
Her gift packed neatness pouted love in her,
That has been brewed from Luo love pot,
Her lips lithe in the coat of spicy charm,
As she slough, the hot, sharp, and pleasant heart beating echoed voice,
In a mouth...

Premium Member Their Fare In Life Wasn'T Fair
Their fare in life wasn't fair



poor children play and sing
on pocket bread
they take to swings
others decry with dread 

sniffling at their looks
in playground scene
poor children mistook
in being good human beings

still they feel the vibes
the stares of their eyes
they hear of "go away"- the jibes
the status...

The Fist of the Polygamous Child
As war ends,
Another begins,
As peace is forced to stand,
So is fight empowered to stand.
Where blood strive against blood,
Where is the love in the blood?
''Blood never lies'' is not in this,
Cause hatred flows in the mind,
Evil unfold in the heart,
Strength for strength,
Bloods in the veins will...
