Best Meriting Poems

I really believe poetry contests are beneficial
But I find myself writing lines so artificial
Trying to win a fleeting notice or score a trophy
That I lose sight of writing good, quality poetry.

Various requirements sometimes put me off
I think I’d rather be on the links playing golf
Instead...

Endear my soul
I pled for quest
Your fortune lo and behold
I pored for adore abreast
Lacked in notion by the unspoken magna cum laude
I searched for hope, peacefully at rest. 

Love thirst for lust
I longed for my desire
Your fortune lo and behold 
I last for a threshold...

Contemplative bliss communes with the serene,
into the spirit of the placid marine crystalized in my mind.
As the sun’s reflection spreads glitter upon its open sea,
throngs milling to the melodious tunes of the guitar.
Strumming troubadour, slim and rangy toe headed youth
grins modestly as his tip jar...

So when the webbed-tide snares the lunars nether recesses in its glow casting shadows that arise among the craggs wedged beside some cliffs of common confirmed debris of the unnamed fallen heaps of mucked mired forgottned decay of worthless grime not meriting the struggles of...

A false perspective from the drug
adversity confirm the slug
to cover my lost space, a plug
the prior years seem lost to tug!

Some remnant, some impersonal shrug
has cast me down to this exchange
my livelihood must rearrange
to manifest this new derange!

A blob of entity enhanced
to fill the cabinet...

If very hard read, 
take the log from your eye - 
or perhaps it's the wrong creed
meriting such custard pie.  

Language archaic? 
Well so what if it scans 
Neither Norse nor Aramaic, 
I'm certain most understand.  

A trifle obscure? 
My due consternation! 
Still...

where narcissistic assumptions are presumed
to be a priori and default perfect
in so far as we estimate ourselves
in the slightest vaguest
single point mirror ghost called I
this is the grand knock me down delusion
when we are a many named one
meanwhile actual levels of imperfection
buzz along the turnpike...

Beethoven to roll over,
     dee composing
     (sans my zany brainy adherence
     to "FAKE" information I eschew)
and essentially single handedly grew
the contemporary paradigm few
off fish shill educated
     people didst swallow

The stars are lighting up dusk’s aftermath
With a million Christmases’ twinkling light
Tiny dots to be connected in a serigraph
Covering the earth with a dome of white
To show us the Milky Way’s chalky path.

A full moon rises bursting with reflection
To illuminate the scene on a muslin...

About the end of times when
Carts were hauled by Shires,
Coal was king and homes
Were heated by open fires,
A seemingly huge dark figure
From my early childhood days
As he drove his horse and cart
Through the country byways
From village to village to village
Delivering sacks of coal
To feed our...

Fillip not my ear even just once,
it looks juvenile and it is not nice;
don’t even think of taking a chance
by, heaven forbid, doing it twice.

A thing like that I will not take kindly,
it is childish and looks kind of silly,
the sort meriting direct retaliation
like say,...

A root transcending through a hope perceiving
that I am one of Godly calling's pleading,
so filled with thy trust's heart ~
an opening, I am your boundaries feeling.

Soft spokenly, your care and love ensuing,
confirm your presence, still I am lost to knowing
why I see you in everything,...

I love thee more today as all be spent
to look away in wretched discontent.
As whence all hope, is but to circumvent -
I love thee more by chancing no extent.

Writhing with some validation's meant
I love thee further as my heart's intent
is flying, always out and toward...

The Dog – My Lion!
The strong like Iron
Meriting Zion
From-The-Brave Scion
Now crushed by Tires
From who engines fires …

Just killed My Lion!
And melted Iron
And just wronged Zion
From-The-Strong Scion 
That Brave Rogues panicked
And with Saints picnicked:
Tires that my heart bled
And with sorrow fed …

I shall Revenge feed
And attackers...
