Best Legitimize Poems

...inspired by 'Portrait of a Lady' by T.S. Eliot


On winter days the view outside is nebulous at best,
within, the furniture is as it alway was, and I am waiting,
waiting for a glimpse of you to silence my equivocating.
Somber is my attitude, the light is dim,...

The Figurative Nail Hit On The Hair Strand Size Head!

Though no physician,
this aging baby boomer
absolutely, intuitively, and
unequivocally sensed hair loss (mine),
at first a speculative rumor
not simply in my (ahem) head,
no matter a minimalist groomer

nevertheless, thinning follicles,
upon dawning realization, sans medical
sought relief...

Erasure Poem 
So many fake Indians these days
Elizabeth Warren is one
And according to my DNA results
I am too

But my grand-parents spoke Cherokee my mom claims
And they disappeared into the hills 
She claims

Is the DNA test wrong?
Was I adopted ?
Or is it possible
That I am a...

We sold our freedoms for Big Macs, big stacks of crack, and bottles of Jack
This mess is wack and in fact I'm totally done
Havin' fun with the lines I've spun
We want to sit here and whine and moan
And groan while we play with our phones
We're...

The figurative nail hit on the hirsute covered head!

Eventually vices will witness me crow king

hence appellation (mountain) wheezer 
natural set of adult teeth (rotten to the core)  
easily plucked out courtesy tweezer, 
this har nonestablishmentarian,...

I stand here before you, trying to make this team,
Soliciting the opportunity to live my dream,
Submitting my words to you, so that you can view my theme,
Turning my words into light, so that this light can beam.
I come to pursue a common goal, with a...

Moving forward as a river flows to the ocean 
My feet are pushing ahead in a swift motion 
Strolling and sa·shay·ing thru' life swiftly
Tick-tock,' says clock, moving toward future see

Life proceeds onward 'n beyond 
I wish, I could occasionally, wave a magic wand 
Forward time,...

Overanalyze and criticize, demoralize and ostracize
  Modern pundits legitimize their vicious exercise

Scrutinize and standardize, compartmentalize and cannibalize
  Wizards of efficiency synchronize, initialize and circumcise

Demobilize and paralyze, stigmatize and de-humanize
  Westernized pols, their constituents balkanize and polarize

Trivialize and miniaturize, standardize and sterilize
 ...

Fragmented Logic

Peace becomes those whose stance is trained as such 
And those who legitimize fate speak fact

Several lethal injections from twelve weapons
They target the mind from the heart with shelled lessons

I am a bird trapped in the stairwell leading to life
I am a train track...

ABE LINCOLN WRITES TO JOSHUA SPEED
						
Dear Joshua: 
	You know that I love you,
That I have always loved you– only you!
The woman means nothing to me– nothing!
Henceforth, don’t write angry letters to me!
Mary always was and always will be
A splinter between us in our bed:– but–			
I...
