Best Leveraging Poems
Cranberry InjectionFor John Hink
I left your stool in my kitchen corner where you sat, a crooked grin on your weathered face that had seen a hundred sunsets. Fields you tilled by horse-drawn plows now contracted to clusters of London Bespoke Suits leveraging corn oil markets.Patiently...

Rhyme
Goodbye, Cruel ColleagueAppearance was your entire routine.
But truth is found if one looks deep enough.
A walking good first impression machine,
Yet something else when we cut through the fluff.
If not a teammate, what is a colleague?
No possible chance for a working team.
You thought you were so far out...

Iambic Pentameter
Not So Friendly DiscussionsAlfredo always abhorred angry approaches
After an amigo accosted after an argument
And, afterward, Alfredo abstained arguing,
Because blackening bruises betrayed blather
Berniccio blindly behaved better, bravely
Becoming brotherly before blasting bullies!
Carefully commandeering calmer Carlos,
Claiming cool comradeship courageously
Communicated clever candid conversations.
Dandified Darius decided daring dialogue
Dangerously divisive, declined discourse,
Deliberately discrediting dainty...

The Other Side of MeYou were the other side of me.
Like two rivers, joined up in a storm,
forging through our unknown landscapes
full of nature, but with purpose.
Learning, wandering and giving birth to new things.
Leveraging all that passed through our hands.
Until we became separated.
Hardship, mistakes divided our vast landscape
back into...

Holy WaterMitigating sins
leveraging countenance
in search of the morning kingdom
to see the sky to bow to the sun
Navigating
as the vortex
in between these eclipses
breezes briskly passing through the greens
the air is changing
into water
still flowing
runs deep
Wished that red river
within
is at peace
by green pulses
permeated through the bleached...

Jarheads In a Pickle
War ain’t a kosher thing
The killing of innocent human beings
was never FDA approved
(From Da Almighty)
Ebenezer fiscals’ hands be closed tighty
to the citizen poor
But they openly solicit those laborers’ loyalty,
before sending them off to war
Dem silver-loving Scrooges

If Truth Was a Tree and Fell, Will World ListenAs per change in situations
A struggling sense of ideation
Sensational cackling and breaking—our minds’ sentience
Pulling, expanding the band of our memory
Widening extension of greatest expression
Erupting colorful nuances
No ‘you’ or ‘I’ but pure connections
When that but just be
Tales of present recollections
Reminded be the realms—o’dreaming occasions

Antony and Cleopatra
Egyptian goddess
impetuous and pompous
Cleopatra’s conquests
at history’s bequests
wielded a propensity
for dramatic intensity
She snared the great Marc Antony
lured him into salacious surreality
of whirlwind amorous insanity
their thirst for world domination
stirred a most legendary seduction
concocted in the heat of passion
From a cesspool of politics leveraging
exponential cunning and beguiling
struggles in...
