Best Ousts Poems


Premium Member Owl
Only wise when awake
Outgoing like the wind
Opposed to nothing small
Ousts mice very quickly 
Ornery predators 
Outstanding birds indeed
Onlookers are enthralled...

Premium Member Cold Is the Night
Cold is the night and dark and long
though with the gloom bleak humour comes 
we'll make it through, our love is strong

North wind howls under midnight's gong
and buries all neath ice and snow
cold is the night and dark and  long

Silence deep as snowflakes throng
unbidden...

Premium Member Perdition
In tears that feign to be a slave with deeds
That mourn my life and ousts the face of peace
These sad bells ring with cries for now I grieve
And bow my head because I cannot cease

I choose the weight of ton and gloom of ache
To lay...

Rainy Days and Mondays
Like a persistent pest
it is an uninvited guest 
it ousts me from cozy nest
only to snap my sweet rest

My Monday morning alarm
takes a slap on him with no harm
the day stares at my tantrum
after the alarm states its dictum

I pull myself out in gall
worst day...

That Day
That day has arrived
 The one I thought will never come
 Oh! Not for him at list
 For he’s the greater one of all,
 Oh! The black dark cloud fell

I used to sit outside the house,
 The one I used to call a home,
 With...

The Bark By Mikhail Lermontov
According will of wondrous will
The realm of passion ousts my real,
Like bark that's broken with the wave,
That one who found on sand its grave.
Let tide caresses lonely frame,
The cripple won't accept deceit,
It knows, it's weak, it knows, it's lame
Pretending that it sleeps, it's split;
Nobody will...

Premium Member Dread
The song that feigns to be a slave in deed
To mourn the life that ousts the face of peace
That sad bells peal with tears of those who grieve
And bow their heads to those who fear to cease

To choose the weight of ton and gloom of...

No Vanity Set For This Chap No Way
No Vanity Set For This Chap, No Way
(in praise of immortality)

Modesty an understatement,
when eyes chance
to look askew at looking glass,
mine reflection caught at a glance,
an old man's piercing dart

mirrors my blinkered acquaintance
faint recognition communicates 
immediate tacit admittance
boyish good looks faded
with morning glory of youth
as senescence...

B  better bursting of ballistic bombs

O often opened shooting annular offenses

O overly ousts on 

M mountains of memories motionless mystery

After Judicious consideration
the Court ousts chihuahuas without hesitation
With Texas Versus Rover
their dreaming days are over
We'll soon live in a pure Aryan canine nation...

A New Beginning
Reborn here now without baggage
No haunting beast or evil wraith
I come, sans illicit luggage
with a heightened belief in faith

I'll not give in to temptation
Reborn here now without baggage
I am worthy of salvation
Cleansed, in a new improved package

Rebellion ousts right of passage
I have learned my lesson...

Obey God's Command
J-ust after the rain has gone, 
E-vening shadows fade away; 
S-un slowly starts rising, 
T-hird month fifth day.
O-ne early morn has broken, 
N-ew dawn ousts the twilight; 
I-nclement weather drifts into the deep dark of night.

D-ue to clear wide sky 
E-very place is in good...

Money Problems
Surviving

Paycheckless

Overdrawn
	Again
There goes five twenties
I was saving for education

Spent

On a pair of underwear

My self esteem 
Ousts my stability...

Coups, Elections, and Africa
In the heart of vibrant Africa, where democracy should reign,
Two shadows lurk, two specters haunt, two faces of the same pain.
One a soldier, gun in hand, the other clothed in suit,
Both rob the people of their choice, both the people's voice they mute.

The military coup,...

Came Her By That Tree

I began the scene
as an in-between,
my ally bore mien,
the end is foreseen,
red delicious sheen
with one bite ousts queen.
