Best Mouthing Poems

This is the story of mad Molly Shaw
She might be mad now but she wasn’t before
she came home to find her man dead on the floor
She lay down her bible and let out a roar 

She walked into town with her hair in a mess
Fresh...

Where has she gone?
I can't seem to find her
though I try to play her part
imitating her laugh
coaxing my lips 
into one of her smiles
mouthing her words
singing her songs
her dance is my dance
I leave nothing to chance
Practiced through and through
what else can I do?
I try
real hard
I...

I followed that cad Robyn Hood 
and discovered he's up to no good 
An expert at cheating 
bad mouthing and bleating 
His actions I've not understood

Oh how awful that folks feel so glum
Many now call him Robyn Hoodlum
He's a raunchy thief
who brought them to grief
He...

The morn's alive with skylarks singing

o'er the greening meadow and the pliant pasture,

the ocean sighing, gulls aloft on wings of prayer.

A sudden shower would see me running

fancy free between the rain drops,

I cried 'Excelsior!' and set the hills alive;

I skittered, happy, crisp and clear, 

like...

Angel?
Demon?
Faerie?
Witch?
Random labels
None apply.
We are all changelings
Pure and simple
Or complicated and unpure
Depending upon the mood, the moment, and our momentous events.
Divorce, death, cancer, car wrecks, they all take a toll on us.
Changing us completely in one second.
Giving us a perspective we never had before.
Showing us that...

2017 a New Memorial Day

My dear country is in disarray,

But its protectors protect it anyway,

Memorial Day finds them far afield,

Unable to laugh, unable to yield.

Lonely, disillusioned over news at home,

Cowardly violence, loud mouthing, moans,

Still they are stronger than these short term vents,

They sleep in sand,...

Misleading, minacious maze now thwarted,
eschews stealth as sandal-clad steps resound.
Determined and dour, destiny draws near;
completing this quest: forever renowned.

Stygian sky grants a much-welcomed boon:
conformable clouds cast curtain aside.
A radiant pearl suspended aloft,
reveals route to where foul fiend does reside.

Mouthing prayers to a personal angel;
supplication: salient...

I have just reached the end of the school year
giving my last lesson to the last group, as it were
Unlike before, not quite content with what has been done
on whom would I put the blame in the long run?!
Apart from the human factor, we have...

I’ve unfurled the Southern Cross tonight and put it
On the wall, and as I gazed the longest while.. I thought I heard the
dingo’s call?  It couldn’t be as all
Round me were the sounds of London going down'
Then I thought again of scenes that had
Made...

11:45 pm

Spot light’s glare, shadows rocking 
Wooden stage moving beneath my feet
Worn of past performances, steadied for the new breed
Bottles line the edge, dead soldiers, lipstick
Some full, some not, some spilled…nice

She’s there, always there, a comforting sight
Behind the bar, eyes that invite and a laugh...

Less than twenty-four hours after dashing off a poem 
   explaining why i wanted to die
found me experiencing physical duress vis a vis, 
   a bowel movement wherein waste unable to expel 
   from the anus of this guy
which...

On a sea of calm I long to be 
you and a breeze to set me free 
  
the water sparkling a soothing flow 
the sun surrounding with a warming glow 
  
your eyes shimmering in pools of peace 
setting all my worries...

I thought to when my mother took my hand. 
We skipped the cobblestones and shopped for wishes,
(toys which I could ill-afford;
        a Batman cape,
              ...

The mind eternal lies before us always.
Less pure in tone, we come to it drenched with life;
Fearless companion in our hour of days. 
A purity not withstanding breadth of knife. 

Away! Away! succubus death, 
much less a breach than I.
How many not mislaid in breath,...

Black sheet ceiling
Seeing black lace feeling
Falling, glistening limbs...
Love's darkness 
Darkens my dreams.

Skin painted purple
Pleasure tearful
Teeth on neck to nibble
Scribble reckless
Romance in red.

White crescent nails
Trail over satin statue
Catch you writhing...
Rushing blood 
To blushing rose.

Bitten lip crimson
Crushing bittersweet passion
Pushing, burning, mounting...
Mouthing silence
Silken in satisfaction.

Black sheet ceiling
Seeing black...
