Best Ough Poems

A-pril thirteenth is fine, 
N-ight shadows disappear; 
N-ew dawn has broken, bringing gladness and cheer.

C-old chilling eventide
H-as turned into warm day; 
R-aindrops have turned
I-nto beacon's shining ray.
S-ky so dark turns bright
T-o let the clouds pass by; 
I-n the air I see the colors, 
N-ice rainbow...

Behind the fence, not there to play, two junkyard dogs are on the prey
Engines scrapped, and fenders bent, and shattered glass now pays the rent
Heavy pedals, limp and wasted, rusty metal, paint that's faded
It's much too late to get our kicks,  Route 66 has...

RIDE OF A
LIFETIME

A roller-coaster catches my eye in flash 
B eguiling me to run bullet fast...
C hequered spiking thrill press my spine
D ancing stars shoot then surround me fine
E levating energy screaming release
F ever fervor crawling --
G leaming a 
H appy-go-lucky mood!
I nhaling deep through...

Tough in spending even in abundance of resources
Indifference shown to priority of any needed purchase
Giving is rendered a gruesome punishment to mankind
Hall of famer to the accuracy of the expression of feelings
Tight fisted, closed minded and currency conscious in all situations.

A swollen wallet ironically ignites...

From 10 mg to 20 mg

I almos... uh... almo... almost nodded... off... ff!

Don't think it's strong enough yet... thhh...ough!

Hopefully I'll soon start writing about fairies and pretty flowers

Instead of demons and evil...

Strong-willed with the fearless, forgiving, and fervent heart from the sympathy-sought start
Turbulent, yet terrific as the storm of epic efflorescence that is vigilant in roving reassurance 
Robust and rough like radiant rocks on the ocean bed and beyond the shimmering, soulful sea
Essentially elevating like cave-engulfed...

P-ure delight is happening, 
R-ainy cold night disappears; 
I-nclement weather turns fine, 
N-o more sorrow nor tears.
C-hilling wind has faded, 
E-arly dawn is breaking; 
S-hadows have just drifted, 
S-unlight now starts shining.

R-ough sea turns smooth, 
A-fter the storm goes away; 
M-arch seventeenth has turned
I-nto a...

Polite to me and tall in gesture fair, 
Offering openness to my raw feelings, 
Leaving nothing behind but a lectern, 
Insisting on my viewpoint and reeling; 
Tough on that, and unable to retract, 
Energy for my memories so compact....

such a secret important word
danced around verbally
conditioning you the way they want
for utmost power
if i had it my way
i would have you ring a bell everytime their secret word
tweaks you out

Jeese 
I wonder what the secret word is...
everytime i hear it, i cant help but...

A-nchor of our hope
I-s making us firm and strong; 
R-ough ocean of trials
A-llows us to keep from wrong.

B-ig waves in the deep sea
E-xplain why we need an anchor; 
L-ife, like ship, weathers the storm, 
L-ooking for a place to go
A-shore.

V-ile season in this world
I-s so...
