Best Legible Poems

wings could drive you crazy
under the overpass, the crows
gather one by one, flapping
it is a perfect day, stuck underneath
where cars borrow the bird’s view
without a whisper or toll, torrent
of landings to complete the murder
the row, on an inner ledge, legible
perhaps eligible to a mate, could...

The name no longer legible,
Eroded, lichen covered slate,
Dead flowers in a broken pot:
Who rests in this neglected state?

For Susan’s Forgotten contest...

A lot of body shifts by an inch,
While vengeful killer teeth they clench:
A prosecutor is addressing The Bench,
Concerning dastardly murder of a wench
By a whisky-soaked German French
Whom he’s sure could also in Vodka drench!

Shovel handy they could dig The Quickest Trench
And from Prosecutor A Talkative...

A freak of literature 
Designed by those mad poets 
But escaped the lab: 
the English classroom,
Its me G the hybrid word:
With added punctuation and 
bold character so im strong- 
Arial be my font family but I paced away,
So I ain't close to them
So sorry paragraphs...

I take a deep breath, then I breath out...
I breath doubts, but I guess I breath now
But my breathe shall allow me tear this industry down
Can ya feel this chemistry, About to make history
At this instancy I'll be instantly deploying my infantry
I'll be doing it...

Sitting at the very top of my closet,
a small cedar chest, with treasures I did deposit. 
It was Christmas gift my sweet cousin gave,
for years it has sat there, as if in a grave!
With broken hinges and a defective lock,
 I will now open it;...

With a Heart soaked in Pain,
I bowed and removed my Hat,
Tears, tickling my cheek,
Like Matilda i have dragged my Pain here.

An Encomium i have come to pay,
The Pain i tried to Masticate,
Like a rock, It was not edible.

But to You, The Mountain Melter,
Its non-verbal expression...

An iridescent celestial being 
Anarchic yet effervescent adolescent 
Frolicking freely in the omnipresent forest, 
Like a breeze through the leaves. 
Barefoot & star gazing — native & trail blazing.
Like a clever, fearless fairy exploring the faraway night sky,
I am the fantastic bit of magic on...

tattered, yellow napkin
softly settles into the murky lake
as it absorbs it's last spill
our names in gold, still legible

this ring, never fit, seldom worn
"I love you" etched innermost
I know you do, I just couldn't say it much
now I can, but you don't hear

it's cold out, especially...

Since it was Sunday in late December
the sun perched softly behind a dark
swirl - and the distant dust
turned the last ray from red to pink
well before the dainty fingers
of her small hands could count to six

The tide was ebbing but left lopsided
lines of foam-beige brine...

First letters are undulating, bouncy and loopy
Rest are sort of pretty sloppy and crunched together
With a load of smooth diagonal lines that connect all the way
And a squarish circle degenerated into a quick squiggle
It's a sort of scribble and swirl
Legible in the most illegible sense...

I was there
Extant at the screen of life as the third parties
A warmth which subsequently appeared capricious
A love that never thought to be seek

At once all disclosed by the warmth which began by a kiss ...

One Eve is waiting overseas
Stood upon her ignorance ...

Ahead of...

They will read my poem and wonder
"Who is this?" But I knew you better
Than any who will search and blunder
Harnessed to their finite, mortal fetter
You are gone, no longer restrained
And cumbered by time's clay palace
The sprite and child in you sustained
Through life, and without carnal...
