Best Karaoke Poems
Encouraged by the masses
is mediocrity,
like when someone at a bar
sings bad karaoke.
As they belt out notes off key,
we might give guffaws.
Drunken with good will, though,
we offer up applause.

I'm going to karaoke
Purple people eater will be my song choice
and I'm determined to do it
In my best Alvin and the chipmunks voice.
It might not win the competition
but it will be a lot of fun
Isn't that the point of competitions
When we enter one ?
My mates think I'm the double
Of a very young Barry Gibb
They want me to sing something by the Bee Gee's
but for me that would be a fib.
I'm not there to do impressions
However brilliant they may be
I just have to do my very best
and be happy being me.
So i'll go along tonight
With my helium balloon
That will give the voice
To help me sing my tune.
Then I'll congratulate the winner
but if it is a chap
He'd better get the ale in
Or he's going to get a slap.
Thumbing through countless titles
with liquid courage aide…
Cher, I channel
memorable songs
sung to happy melodies
life is beautiful
Putting his whole heart into it
Belting out the chorus so loud
Needing a prompter for the lyrics
No one listening in the crowd.
Signing up to sing again
Waiting for his next go
Playing the air guitar
Putting on a show.
The groupies are in his mind
He cannot carry a note
Everyone has left the bar
He needs lozenges for his throat.
He’ll come back again on Tuesday night
To make love to the microphone
Knowing women he will woo
Yet going home alone.
He practices in the shower
He’s gonna make it big he knows
He’s failed three times in auditions
For the American Idol show.
He knows every bar that has a machine
And which nights they plug it in
A regular the bartenders know
Trying not to laugh at him.
No one has the heart to tell him
That he’s wasting his time
I guess living in your own dream
Isn’t really a crime.
So sing it would-be rock and roll boy
Pretend that you’re a star
There will always be a place for you
In the local Karaoke bar.
A singer whose name’s Carrie Oakey
Was hoarse, sounding terribly croaky
Carrie burst into tears
When folks covered their ears
She’s thankful her gig was just low key

Had a little too much leaded eggnog at Target's Christmas party,
sung karaoke with hardy Bullseye, he was a little smarty.

An
empty
orchestra-
with voice over
songs
I look to the sky
a dark friendly sky
music stilled spotlights fade
I look for stars in the sky
friends offer last hugs
under a cover of clear sky
darkness opens its arms
I embrace a welcoming sky
promises of many tomorrows
whisper an endless sky
People singing, taking chances.
Palms sweating, hearts thumping.
Will I be good or will I bomb?
Most don't care, full of booze.
Food and good friends all around
Country, jazz and rock.
All sounds coming out tonight.
take a chance.
Be a star. Even for a one moment.
Shaking once it is over, anticipating the next time.
therapy for some, release for others.
Fears, desperation and heartbreak seem to all disappear.
Fading in a flow of emotions too long contained.
Sweet, sweet freedom.
Taking you back in time to days of yore.
Or helping you back to the present.
May the music never stop in the heart of us all.
There's a place I(used to)go
When I was feeling low.
Weekly(closed due to covid) singing show.
Karaoke Night.
It(was) a lively place,
Smiles on every face.
Young,old,every race.
Karaoke Night.
Guys gals(would) step up to the microphone.
Sing their favorite songs for you and me.
Some were decent. Some would make you groan.
There were different levels of quality.
DO RE MI FA SO LA TI DO
DJ called my name.
I was in the game.
3 minutes of fame.
Karaoke Night.
Singing set me free.
Vocal fantasy.
Superstar was me!
Karaoke Night.
DO TI LA SO FA MI RE DO
I was feeling fine.
Drank some beer and wine.
I had a great time.
Karaoke Night.
Made alot of friends.
Stayed until the end.
I'll go back again(some day hopefully and if they don't go out of business)
KARAOKE NIGHT!!
music lingers
streetlights
shine stars
man and woman
sleeping in shadows
the library’s closed
an intimate voice
on the radio
as I drive home
midnight
the spell is cast
midnight
as I drive home
on the radio
an intimate voice
the library’s closed
sleeping in shadows
man and woman
shine stars
streetlights
music lingers
My neighbor Mike loves karaoke
Who sings off-tune a Hokey Pokey;
Grinds he with delight
But it's twelve of night...
Irked, my alarm whips that voice croaky.
