Best On The Cutting Edge Poems

Our dark founding father, of American literature,
A sinister beacon of darkness, lighting the way
Into the darkened abyss of mankind’s soul.
Within the galleria of madness, he is the
Grandmaster of the black ink, and it's
 Written words of terror.
In thus the shadow realm, does his spirit
Still roam,...

We see them sitting in towers
carved from ‘learned’ ivory,
insulated by their tenure
from the world of reality,
poisoning their students minds,
putting bad ideas in their heads,
the kind that in a century
left one hundred million souls dead.
They know they face no consequence,
they even blacklist all others,
it’s the students...

once soothing to two 
wherever time was
(throughout our relationship at times there was harmony) 

lovers
in the moment
(that moment in time when we engaged in sex)
in music of the man who nature dances to
(god was with us)
wrestle in the wind
feel their existence
(and in our love of...

I swirl and twirl on the reason and rhyme
Of a season so perfect, vulnerable and fine.
Leaping and jumping on the checkerboard of time,
Recalling the hourglass sands falling in line.

For isn't spring but an exuberant child
Speeding through the red lights of life?
Sweet the wine of loving...

Free Spirits,
Marching to the beat
of their own drums,
crossing the color lines,
creating hysteria in their
priviledged homes,

Crazy White Girls,
view the world as
their oyster,
Exploring worlds
unknown,

Unhappy with their
pale existence,
they seek comfort
in the sun,
becoming darker
than raisins to
get their groove on,

Artful at being perfect
and on the cutting edge,
The crazier their lives,
the...

In the seventies we thought we were modern
Utmost chic, sassy, on the cutting edge.
With our bell bottom slacks
And our bell sleeved shirts and dresses
Perhaps we were.
Everyone had the same pattern.
It was fun to see which fabrics others would select.
Paisleys and florals were vividly popular!
The polka...

I have the greatest of the great ideas!” My husband said. 
“Best one I have ever had!” He uses this line weekly 
Since he is in sales, and we have been married a long time 
I did not drop my I-pads to listen, for I...

s/he works on the cutting edge
with eyes pasted to the screen,
knowing no limits &
no time constraints--- 
with all the funding one could possibly
handle, s/he’s
scrunched down in a lab at 
MIT or locked away in some 
European bunker &
each day brings a moment that
may of never...

The pointed tip of a knife in a balancing act?
Sharpened on the cutting edge waits on his finger,
Playing with time as the butcher looks on undecided,
When his next prey will come to challenge this fine blade.

Ages have gone by since it tasted blood in this...

We'd go tenting away from city lights;
friends, living on the cutting edge of wow.
And gaze up at the stars on summer nights,
connecting with the universe somehow.

The world was our oyster we'd shuck for pearls,
leaving our fortunes in the hands of fate.
But when we started fighting...

It’s amazing that a person who endured slavery…
the worst part of mankind’s inhumanity and blindness
would grow up to teach the world about humanity…and kindness.

His name was William Key and he learned to read and write
around the same time he learned to talk.
As he grew his...
