Best Negative Poems

One moment east of twilight
Shadows outdistance the sun
Sharpening peaks and hallows,
Honed against the sparks of light.
Deep in the brow of the silence
I stand to watch the moonrise,
Overtaken by the dark

Aroused by denial,
Disturbing thoughts prevail,
Wishing reprisal,
Hostility unveiled.

Sharpened words uncover
The mask in place.
Extreme emotions hover,
Seen in your face.

Venom grows inside,
Feeding the fire,
Where poison resides,
In the skeptic’s lair...

Our eyes met 
Across the room
The sight of her
My heart went boom
 
Her shiny hair
Skin so fair
Slimline body
Shaped to stare
 
I introduce
Myself to her
Her accent sweet
Perfect purr
 
Drinks drunk
We make our leave
Joining hands
Like a weavers weave
 
Late night walk
Hand in hand
The talk is sweet
Of the...

Here’s to all the negative people
You know how the story goes
If brains were freakin’ dynamite
You couldn’t blow your nose
When people make rude comments
They act without common sense
If you’re negative and reading this
I hope you take offense
When I hear about my friends put down
Every bone in...

"Criticizing others is akin to criticizing God" 
"Moment we are critical of our critic we become a critic"
Quote by Author
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Words pierce the soft heart, stay there forever
Mind recollects them oftentimes in life
Spoken words for lifelong give joy or tear
Still criticizing others is in rife

Feeling worthless,...

You bring your own tribe
Of negative vibes
You make that dumb face
That cuts like knives

It’s passive aggressive 
And too excessive 
The littlest thing
Your manic depressive

Your anger is stout
And when it’s let out
Everyone’s affected
By the words you shout

You couldn’t care less
You’re truly, a mess 
But we all...

Don't you jive me no more blues
You take this my gin my booze
One here needs to get a life
Talk of Christ on my world cruise.

Oh! How difficult is peer pressure,
It is the identity measurer.
It is knowing who you really are,
When others say you are not who you are.
It forces you to measure up,
To things that you should give up.
It causes you to lower your standards,
To follow those who are...

I recall how I had surveyed you, guardedly from a rocky peak,

And why I left the shelter of the mountains, for you.

How we wandered on those plains together,

Endless long days and shorter nights.

You a gazelle and I an eagle.

Horned and barbed, we;

Leaping from...

Failure is a funny old thing
All of your worst fears take to wing
Lies you have told yourself more than once
Leak right into your brain, like a sponge
Intelligent though you may be
Never a light in the tunnel you'll see
Giving up or just giving in
Always seems easier...

Negative Thoughts
Making me dizzy
You generate misery
Barging in on me constantly
Just when I become happy , 
You invade again...
The permanent smile becomes fake 

Negative Thoughts
- Useless Utter
Haunt me all around the clock
Push in without a knock

Alone with these thoughts 
Now my head hurts, 
Distress
Overdosing 
Doubts ......

Only life in our mortal realm
entrenches self-doubt’s stand.

People and events cripple us
with critical mirrors showing us
visuals of our ineptness.

   All who are predisposed to clutching their negative blows

just looking
for opportunities
to misinterpret
and distort
every word

looking for a reason
any excuse
to be miserable
as if there isn’t
enough grief
in the world already

There’s a fly in my poetry soup
It turquoise tries to throw me for loop

With negative Nancy words of discontent
Or fuschia fancy lines littered dissent

Poetry Soup is for friends for fun
Lighten up you’re under gold sun

Be green seed no need to be a gun
Firing off rudely...
