Best Out Loud Poems
Thinking Out Loud
~writer's notes~
i think out loud
from my fingers to a keyboard
so forgive me if my speak
is somewhat long winded
if it has swirls and curls
this is me
hopefully you want to hear
my voice in its totality
~the prologue~
just a child
he clenches his teeth
grinding
creating a screeching sound
much like...

from

light brigade

who
sing out loud

kingdom come
and
thy

for

who sing out loud...

Laugh-Out-LoudAlways find things to laugh about,
Laughing makes us stress free,
Nice things are not always, the first that we see,
So lots of time,we tap into great memories,
Remember when you fell from your bike or a tree,
Got bit by a bee or bullied by Tommy,
Running to the...

I am yours, flesh
and blood
gave to you, from
God above
Here I am, but you
are not
don't forget, what
you have got.
All these years,
we've been apart
I hurt you, cause
you broke my heart
a little girl, I'm not
anymore
years have passed,
just like...

A Cenotaph Would Speak Out LoudA CENOTAPH WOULD SPEAK OUT LOUD
There is, in my still heart, room for you,
Despite the unmannerly way you have behaved
I have managed to conserve a bloom or two.
You smiled, and said love was for the few,
The deed is done, your garden, it is paved,
In my...

Laugh Out LoudI look in the mirror and what do I see
Cellulite and stretch marks
Body perfect, that is me
I turn to the left and then to the right
My butt is way too big
But my tummy gave me a fright
I laughed out loud and nearly choked
I looked like...

Live Out LoudMy presence is invincible
I am dominant and powerful
Overcoming life’s tragedies is emotional
Vanity is self love; you can say I’m boastful
It’s the beautification to my struggles
Self-worth is my devotional
I swagger
I sway and I strut
I go out into the world
And I kick butt
I grasp reality
Reach out toward...

Cry Out LoudI cry for their pain
They cry alone
hide their tears
They stepped up
did their duty
fought for freedom
took the hit
Cry with them
cry out loud
they need your tears
cry out loud....

Living Out LoudA good portion of the nation is living out loud
involuntarily, because of invasion of privacy,
Inquisitions prompted by religious affliliations
and racial discriminations,
Private living has become obsolete,
obliterated by accusations, and curiosities,
The American Dream no longer holds the
same meaning for everyone,
Foreigners' lives are plastered on every news...

Laugh Out LoudWhen your back it has an itch
and it's oh just out of reach.
And you sprain a muscle reaching.
Laugh out loud.
When you're dressing to the nines,
and your shirt's pressed just so fine.
Then discover buttons missing.
Laugh out loud.
Find the toilet in...

So Deliver Your Vocals From Your Soul Out LoudListening to the sound of your voice
An angel is singing and I rejoice
The sound is amazing and I admire
Your tone lifts above the choir
We are silent and hearts are the only thing played
We are mesmerized by your beautiful serenade
The resonance brings a tear to...

Life Out Loud
One year on
will I be gone
For no one really knows
when those final doors will close
Before goodbyes, adios, au revoirs
I yearn to go out with a bang
if I can
to swim with dolphins
to sing and to dance
to play in an orchestra
a piano perchance
For the last few years
I’ve...
