Best Marketable Poems


Premium Member Pernicious Glimpse
Full of marketable commodities like xebec.
Waves of pure affection are slashed mercilessly. 
Feelings: a sea upon which to wander carefree.
Devil swears to be a dove to trick people cursorily.

The doll dances on a string of yellow-golden hair. 
It dyes its lips crimson with the blood of its...

A stone so beautiful
The gem of gems
This carbon icon
A girls best friend
 
In many a place mined
All legal and right
To be marketable
To be pretty in sight
 
On our Jewellery do we wonder
Where ours come from
Is this splendid stone
From a war torn wrong
 
Most are credited
From...

Premium Member Family Therapy
Feminist ecotherapists,
deeply immersed in polycultural ecology,
a systematic teleology of cooperative nutrition economics,
remain rarely flushed out from their safe spots.

A self-isolating,
often eremitic,
subspecies,
with shamanic nature-as-spirit tendencies,
our most articulate mentors often wander off
to pray for,
breathe and suffer and dance and sing
with Earth and all Her multiculturing species and...

Premium Member True Values
True Values (Rich)


I have seen America from sea to shining sea, but have never left its sandy shores.
I’m older now, but when younger, I longed to see and light up the world.
Now, I do not long to see, but have learned from where I sit,...

The Peacock and the Duck
The peacock and the duck are long-time friends.  The peacock stays inside a zoo while the duck stays very close to the zoo.  The duck is owned by the caretaker of the zoo whose small house is almost attached to one side of...

How mysteriously mythical
And mystical you look
Magnificently minute 
Maritime majestic migrants
More than marginally manic
Mesmerizing meanderers
Masterpieces
Peacefully going about
Your business
Magical make-believe
Monarchs of the sea
Upright and elegant
In your mannerly march

Moonstruck prone to 
Misfortunes and misadventures
Oft mostly monologuing 
In monotonous monotony
Mediocrely misconstruing
Mischievous mongrels
And misconceiving misplayed    
Merciless minutiae
But...

Premium Member Caregiving Stories Continued
Wounded Sacred Dementia

My last foster care-provider
and -receiver story
is also a sad story
of my last special needs adoption
of bipolar born,
and oppositionally reared,
alcoholism.

My BiPolar Wounded Child
turned an auspicious five
on the day I first saw her,
and promptly rejected her,
not in dipolar person,
but in a picture of Little Brown...

Miltonic Poem - Cycles
To break the cycles of dependency
webs that entrap the soul, whether it be
drug related or alcoholic spree
Law rules, though blatant is the tendency
for stopping ears of rationality
of wise men, when those in ignorance flee
Marketable gains stir greeds avid glee
in gaining control of humanity
Recreational scene, a...

Premium Member Nigeria In My Opinion
Lighter is its economy, floats slower than a feather,
wasting resources, capable of becoming marketable leather,
pollutes the air for citizens to suffer bad weather,
expecting Yams from planting the seedlings of Onions,
results to failure regardless of any opinion.

A marriage, dangerous to the spouses’ sexualities
and then the tussle...

My Faith In Me
My faith in me
Have made vast changes to my dream
I shall never be again who I am
But who he meant for me to be
A pilgrim whose nomadic days are o'er

I did not come saturated like a tree
Behind whose walls the incessant engines hum
Cracking water on...

Nature, Never Savage
Enough of all the ritiuous talk
of high morals, rolled up in napkins
and set to the table
You eat with them so dignified and free
Becoming what you are meant to become
what you really feel and love so dearly
You do not believe there is fire after the 
mind...

My Mind Is Not a Crash Test
I wish you loved me more.
I always feel like your looking for the door.
Don’t say it isn’t true.
When you know it is what you do.
Emotionally
I think you're through.
Now it’s up to me
to catch a clue.

My mind
Is not a crash test.

Dummy!
The things I fear you say...

Premium Member Competitions In Disregard
Am I unhealthy and unsafe oppressed,
suppressed,
repressed,
right-brain negatively depressed?

Not really all that:
competitively left-brain impressive,
first through last impression 
newsworthy,
enticingly marketable,
profitably commercial,
slickly corporate,
predatively intelligent

More camouflaged
unnoticed and undefined
unrefined
and, frankly, perhaps unstable

Because of my environmental circumstances?
as liberal lovers
would have failing to ego-thrive anthrosupremacists
monoculturally privileged
and multiculturally misunderstood
underprivileged
ego-shunned
and Othered

And/Or

Am I health/safety oppressed
because...

Come Home (Second Verse)
Wifey don't like the way I spend my time
I'm in the streets more than speed bumps and traffic signs

every time I dip she giving me lip
but to find these chips I got to grind like the Clipse

She's always crying she wants some quality time
she's always...
