Best Marinate Poems


Premium Member One Last Dream
To shivering seas 
   mirroring cracked crystals,
I am searching for a righteous rhyme,
to orchestrate eclipsed realms 
with blue orchids 
      and plum blossoms,
singing sunflower symphonies 
of blooming poetry, 
wishing darkness
   would be a distant memory. 

If...

There's a Senior's home called the Shady Lane
    and life's curse is at an end.
Where a hundred souls are kept in line
    till Death its message sends.
They built a country... fought its wars, 
    giving everything...

The Darkroom
Is it not enough that you’ve hung me beside
myself from your fraying rope - tendered by 

graying wooden clips with rubber fingers?
Must we really soak on dry until we are sepia

toned under-developed photographs, left on fix? 
Why is it you still feel the need to...

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry



What Is Good Poetry
Good poetry is like an Old Master
Crafted with expert skill imbued with soul
No abstracted throwaway disaster
Or a bland undistinguished casserole
Of poor ingredients cooked up faster
And deposited in the toilet bowl
No, it should stimulate the appetite
And explode in the mind like dynamite

Good poetry should stand the...

Bully
BULLY
Who is the girl with the cricked teeth, she doesn’t deserve to smile
She is the type of person who needs to stay in and marinate for awhile
She needs to do something with that nappy hair looking like Diana Ross
Because damn, if life was a beauty...

Interracial Love Poem
Love knows no color
we love with our heart
loving without barriers
we write with our soul
therefore we are artists...

this is a poem
about interracial love
sit back and read it
and learn like Aesop's fables...

She is dark like the night
I am bright as day
when we are together
we create a radiant...

Sedoka... 5-7-7-5-7-7
 
morning marinate 
merge  in lost meditation
losing all irritation
absorb, marinate 
line up on new principle
marinate in new precept

of morning session
evaluate marinate
accept life’s renewed menu
bind the old concept
leave concepts of strife behind
enter dawn of a new day

as in eagle’s flight
I have mitigated wings

Vacation
Fourth of July meant summer vacation road trips
Sun and fun amusement parks and the beach
Flip flops and freckles carefree slow days like pouring cold honey
Fast and forever friends were found around the corner
New discoveries found due to a natural curiosity
Sea Shells, sea creatures and sand...

Wake Up, Bk
Such a beautiful sleeper but yet a 
life filled with nightmares; 
A demon fighter since her younger age; 
I applaud this princess for her strength. 

Since birth, the flash from cameras have 
overexposed your privacy, 
And left you a public flame, 
waiting for that moment...

Premium Member Terrorism
Tell us of folks with conscience clear on terror; of trusted neo
terrorists that oust teams, terrorizing thousands... near, far, and wide

May it marinate in their minds; peace and equality are as grated rind
with scent of pure zing... unlike vexed souls, bent on terrorism

Just last night,...

Early in the morning when the sun is just peeking beyond the clouds
I have kept you alive in this life,tho you have traveled on.

My morning meditation brings introspection of reflections
while reading the pages of my past - visions of joy brings smiles to my spirit.

On the stove, in the laundry, office,
Living room, spare bedroom and none
Of your bee's wax. Bear's bite.
Dogs bite fingers, finger licking good!
Grandma's cooking is! Grandpa grills
A mean steak and chicken, shishkbob
I marinate. Yum! Tuna, macoroni and
Cheese, salads, teas, coffees, sweet treats,
Turkey and ham, potatoes and...

Hollow Poetry Critiques-Brutal and Wrong
Waking me in the wake of her brilliance
words spoken,written in convoluted high tones
ringing meaning esoteric and quite unknown
the craft was hyped in meteoric terms
shining bright, sending craven tremulous brain numb.



Harking, in glory she strode the road

on which no one else was allowed 

they lined up...
