Best Latterly Poems

“Love is like a rose. When pressed between two lifetimes, it will last forever.” – Anonymous



In vast wilderness of emerald summer, rose blossoms brightness,
Like the moon's latterly visits, in pearly, glimmering contriteness.
Her scent lingers in the hearts and minds, of those who knew her,
Through the...

We live in a world of time
everything is controlled by the clock
always looking to see where it's at
engagements band meetings in its lock

Social media is not my scene at all
whatever it is Twitter, Instagram or Facebook
people wanting to tell all that they think
nothing is secret...

Cooper was a large and curious tiger, the bright star of a motley circus,
Always out of step with others; like erring moon, of dawn skies, citrus.

He was well fed and got lots of attention, like rave days of mist roses,
When silver moments tell true stories,...

Disability, Illness and Fundamentalism

My brother died of Cystic Fibrosis, 
When I was twelve and he fourteen, 
It took away his ambitions, 
To study at Oxford - the pipe organ’s steam. 

I understand being born with a genetic disorder, 
Because I have Cerebral Palsy and sometimes...

Social settings have stigma attached to this. 
Atmospherically climactic negative correlations sustain society. 
Civilized individuals are naturally monogamous; serially… 
On the other hand gender segregated facility.

Men and woman,
***** and vagina,
Birds and bees,
Conditions and stipulations…

A rule book is the Illusion-Larry governor of our entire moral existence....

I required my tea cooked for me and assisted since I had Cerebral Palsy, so I asked Thomas my care robot to come from the other room. We could relate well, partly because we layons have chips in our brains which let us change the...

Early days as a flaneur;
I recall the couple 
On the Metro
When I was still innocent 
Of its labyrinthine complexities;
Slim pretty white girl,
Clad head to toe 
In new blue denim, 
Wistfully smiling
While her muscular black beau 
Stared straight through me 
With fathomless, fulgorous orbs;
And one of...

The Picture of Dorian Gray: Paint Me As An Event
The Picture of Dorian Gray, a decent fanciful novel by Irish writer Oscar Wilde, published in 1890. The novel, the only one written by Wilde, had six additional chapters when it was released as a book...

Trampled underfoot
Two words that describe my life
Initially my first fiancée
And latterly my wife

To be cheated on
Then a broken trust
In monetary and in love
Like ageing bread, I'd be the crust

To their Lions
Is where I awake
Dazed and confused
How much more can I take

My peripheral world is hazy
Whom...

ADELAIDE CRAPSEY-IMAGIST

A well travelled lass named Adelaide
Innovative and never staid,
Unmarried,single but no old maid-
A short life,latterly full of pain,
Her epitaph,the American cinquain.

Tribute vignette to Adelaide Crapsey,the American creator of the Cinquain form, my poetic inspiration.

re-post inspired by Brenda's contest...

Listen Sister HEARING this makes you WONDER…
I am a PHOTOGRAPHER and I can be a RAPPER...
And If I would; I could play in MANCHESTER…
All I wanted with HER, was to be her, BROTHER…
All I wanted was to take him to a MOTHER…
I can be a...

VIGNETTE FORM an example

In the base motor pool
See an off-limits card school-
A scheming Bilko takes the pot
Hoodwinking top brass was his game,
Fast talking his claim to fame.

Vignette=a 5 line light verse that tells a short story some further examples as below

VIGNETTE-ALL OF A ZITHER

I was an artistic, floral designer, intoxicated by the sweet-smelling blooms,
Like magenta butterfly swarms, at a standstill, intoxicated by floral fumes.

Gold days were full of my bloom designs, each one so original and unique,
Just as none are aware of vague, opaque thoughts, before we soon...

It was just recently in December, 2019
A type of disease popped up in Wu-Han
COVID-19, as "WHO" named it  latterly 

It has since  become a worldwide pandemic
Threatening innocent people tremendously 
It knows eight physicians have found it first
And shared the info in Wechat cycle...
