Best Miscued Poems


Life Is Like Football
It took just a moment
A single concentration lapse
And down the drain,Bayern's effort went
Whilst Messi enjoyed the claps


Life is like a football game
As dicey as a game of chess
A step can earn you fame
Another can end you up in a mess

A poor tackle can earn you...

Premium Member Ink and Paper
With awkward reach
the strike of the pen has tipped the ink well
splattering onto white paper,
vanquishing the lyrics from the poet’s pen,
scribbling vignettes of joy or strife,
little stories-a slice of life.

His pen shall not find its perfect labor
scribed upon this miscued, defaced paper
to define his words...

Premium Member Purple Melatonin
My friend had said
Oh! Father
 What color 
My eyes my skin's shades
 Of many MELATONIN (what)
 I have a white mother 
And yet my father's
 black 
From what am I 
What race am I 
They say they hate you for the color of your skin...

Water you are crystal clear 
And you pour,  you're in elucidating body that rises 
Onto the shore 
And I often wonder,  why 
You're in all of us
Elemental molecule you reside within us 
And water it's you we trust 
Your the making of us...

My Heart Is Content Not To Fly
Once upon a tragic, forsaken love,
A wish miscued from somewhere above.
So incorrect, 
I could not detect,
Nor should expect, 
Our bond fit like hand to glove.

A sour lullaby, sang a love you couldn't feel, 
Naive to believe in honesty, 
Or a sense of dignity, 
For this...

Premium Member Lesson Learned of Not Taking the Bull By the Horns
lesson learned of not taking the bull by the horns

there's this elderly man sitting 
in the front of the bus
he's a picture of cheerfulness 
and mostly goodness
there were also a few other passengers standing
... at the next bus stop two gray haired ladies get on
no...

Horoscope, Kaleidoscope, Microscope and Telescope
Grope slopes of love doves through your palpitation periscope
Sacrifice the price of neglect notoriety, preserve the verve of hope
Multiply and gratify the clue and value of courtesy
Divide glides, prides and slides of mock mercy.   

Grope slopes of love doves through your happiness horoscope
Sacrifice...

Premium Member There's No Place For Prejudice In My Heart-
believe it or not I love everybody
I come from a long line of constraints 
I am often told what I can and can't 
Yet still I love everybody
Respectively I deplete deploring circumstances 
That's got me embraced I am conditioned and treated by the color of...

Premium Member The Tool Shed
It was a dark hole
into an Aladdin's cave of old tools.
A small window
gave the only light and fell
on a rough sawn bench wearing
scars inflicted by years of use.
Saw cuts, drill holes
and the miscued gouges
of chisels had crusted to
dark scabs. Oil stains blotched 
the surface like...

My Wrath
Running down a starlit path,
trying to escape this earth's bound wrath.
Searching for something bright and new,
something fresh.. maybe you.
I search myself for something true, 
only to find myself often miscued. 
Tell me no secrets, and I will admit my lies,
The truth will be found in...

Premium Member The Tree
The bark was almost the color
of charcoal and too rough 
for a boy to grip and hold on
to climb without bare skin 
being grazed and scraped
back to bloodied welts.
The trunk was scabbed in gum
oozed out of old wounds.
That almond was the tallest tree 
in the...

Premium Member Missed Statement-
Mission statement 
broken promises 
miscued satisfactory
guarantee Mount
 of courses

Major pangs pains 
Tranquil mission equality
Misjudge guided path 
Lost on the road 

Fables lies and stories
 yet I'm told 
Guarded yet misguided wonderful
Sheltered yet home

Homeless covered yet naked 
How do you accept this
Prodigal Son has come home...

once dyslexic
Letters were mad hat interlopers
I cannot decipher them
Eeties at Hoppies
was my diction for
Sweets at Shops
when i was four
Its hard being a dyslexic
Oh boy I feel so out of it
with my younger sisters
picking it up so easily
I eagerly learnt new words by sound alone
but sometimes I...

Toe Shack
Toe shack 

Put another log
On the near burnt out fire
They tell me to charge more
Then tell me they did the job for a song and a story I've heard before
The Government is prohibiting the bites that is never chewed 
Useless you write your story
Validation goes...
