Best Overlooked Poems

The things you don't do shine so bright
Like flashlight in the middle of the night.
The things you do well blend in like, 
Camouflage in the shadows of others light.

Your hard work is barely seen,
Hiding your stress behind the scenes.
Always confronted about the things
That everyone sees.
You...

OVERLOOKED BEAUTY MY PRETTY MAGGOTS

Beautiful as the tan, brown, red, black, white centipede be;
Beautiful worm-like the fly egg geometrically pretty to me;
Moist shiny, slimy don't know where your head is not an issue;
As you may clean infected wounds of dead and decaying tissue;
Attachment to the...

Deprived pilgrim wives ruminated
On ways to get hubbies elated:
After Thanksgiving chow
Ogling men hollered “wow!”
As wet-shirted women they rated....

Feeling left out in the cold
Tossed aside like bread with mold
Can't they see the hidden gold
A diamond in the rough
Underneath my surface.

Can't you see my potential
Yet your blinded by successes
While one has more experience
I just got the listings
Of the work I've done
Volunteering around.

I maybe a...

Some think a vulture is the ugliest bird.
Her red-black-eye beak looks a little absurd.

Ruthless and greedy, she can make you wretch.
But if you get to know her, she will easily fetch.

She is big and strong with gorgeous black wings.
Carrion feeder, helps with lots of things.

Her...

I cry out
   unheard
I give signs
   unseen
I am alone
   unaware...

How cute are the flowers that come to my lawn,
but these little flowers are oft frowned upon.

People don’t like them because they grow tall,
and many folks just mow them down, one and all

Yes, they wilt and they wither, that’s also true,
but so do all flowers....

Hidden away on our lush verdant hills
are crumbling houses and derelict mills

These ancient buildings are tumbling down,
many people ignore them with a frosty frown!
 
If folks just opened their eyes and they weren’t so aloof
they’d learn a Tholtan’s a building that’s missing its roof!
 
Tumbledown...

Overlooked beauty

At the backyard of my colony's lane
Crumbles an old banyan tree slowly on verge of getting waned

Not worthy of a second glance
An overlooked beauty as in forgotten time's trance

Pulchritude ignored by almost every passer-by
Sole witness of ever changing world since ages below heavenly skies

Must...

A lake cradled in the Himalayan foothills’ verdant cleft
Its acclaimed beauty on the azure water sun did reflect.

Not for long though, a sprawling hamlet’s arms spread
Toxic pollutant stream in the lake it drained and shed.

Crystal clear water soon became algal and eutrophic
Decimated shortly all the...

I hear him rambling on about the way he makes a mess 
the way he eats his tomatoes then leaves with no confess 
the flowers have been bent in his garden's sanctuary 
he's a little creature wild yes he's very quite contrary 
He's always climbing...

The Babbling Brook
 
The babbling brook was very loud.
When people saw her first, she drew quite a crowd.
Usually, brooks are relaxing and smooth
This brook was different, but not to be rude.
She always kept the villagers up at night.
But they were very kind and didn’t put...

must i arise every dawn
to do nothing but shine upon
and warm all those who shiver
i, a scorching giver

and rarely am i truly praised
seldom i am looked upon
my rays seep through the cloudy haze
the foggy mist of early dawn

but no one seems to thank my presence
scarcely...

UNCLAIMED FREIGHT

I offered myself to you - Rejected many for you, made myself
Exclusively yours - You never understood that I was not here
To endure jealousy, hate or envy –
Only to serve you and teach you how to include instead of excluding...
You looked over and under...

Every good is selling at
Five dollars per piece
Attending to the poor 
The low income groups 
The people in needs 
The non-fix salary groups 
Fighting with 
The tide of inflation 
The economic crisis
Thank God
The plights of the poor
Never to be overlooked...
