Best Novelty Poems

A new face to trace
Covet then embrace
Beloved thy trance
Diminishing glance

Flirtatious on air
Erroneous flair
Gelid, weary streak
Innovations weak

Heroic on flight
Justly proving right
Losing glossy tone
Keenly you dethrone

Mustering the nerve
Obey and observe
Novelty invades
Promises betrayed

Romantically loose 
Questions the abuse
Shine and gloss aloof
Unwoven with proof

Tarnished we believe
Vanished we deceive
Xerox of our...

While reading one of my novels up in my loft,
was easily distracted by something soft,
my kitty pawed at me,
couldn't ignore it or flee,
until after awhile the novelty finally wore off....

Handle bundles and trundles of amity with dignity
Despatch patches and batches of blues and queues of odium
Welcome pockets and sockets of hope and humility
Above all, fertilize fields of favour and faith on God’s podium.

Despatch patches and batches of blues and queues of odium
Break mistakes and...

He saw a gap in the market,
Knew he'd found a niche
Got the idea at Scarborough
From donkey rides on the beach.
Camel treks from Whitby
Going the scenic way
Following the coastal road
On to Robin Hood's Bay.

The very place where, if
Local legend had it right,
Mr Hood and the Vikings
Had...

Inspiration found in accord is conveyed through imagination. 
           Since creation civilization has adhered to things of originality. 
The manifestation of fascination can be adapted by simulation,

was just a 
novelty item 
within the minds 
of the crowd that 
had gathered to 
watch the show 
unfold right in front 
of their eyes full 
of disbelief 
there stood two 
hearts flouting above 
the ground 
then out of no were 
one came crashing down...

Shuffling between high and low
In search of sanity
Thrown to the dogs despite its glow
I deride the vanity

That in much of the global world
Climbs to the top
Of the global agenda curled
To biases so hot they climb atop

To conform to the threshold
Set to glorify
Items whose substance and...

I woke up new and sound,
This freshness I have found,
Resonates from deep within.
And reflects in my rising and sitting.

I'll revel in this bliss,
Not a moment I'll miss,
Walk in the light of my fresh starters,
For nothing else matters.

I see myself with new eyes,
Mornings are haloed with...

I am a pharmacodynamics novelty
Pills and drugs have an opposite effect on me.
Stuff that puts others to sleep for days
Barely keeps me in a simple haze.
Drugs that bring others rapidly up,
Knock me out the second I sup.
My brain must be somehow out of whack.
I am...

Blue breath in the air
Frozen words suspended still
Winter's novelty....

There seems to be a trend these days,
an obsession with novelty,
and like most bad things of this age
it is traced back to the sixties,
at least the latest form of it,
for in truth, it’s always plagued us,
I’m talking about those who jump
on the newest and latest...

I headed off
for an adventure
the journey
half the fun
no grand ambition
just a thrust
a desire
propelled
by an itch
an urge
what I found
was a brand
new world

each novelty 
a penny in a jar 
adding up 
to who we now are

even when it’s full 
you cannot start new 
fresh experiences 
start becoming few 

again in our head 
they play and they play 
what can’t be lost 
we wish would go away 

so we settle 
to forget the riveting firsts 
doing everything we can 
to numb our...

...The trials of long centuries
are a form of Darwin, you see,
beating good ideas into shape,
until they serve society.
One mere idea one person has,
is rarely ever up to the task,
what works is what ideas survive,
that’s not something you can learn fast.

Does this mean we throw out...
