Best Penalized Poems

Their mere weapon was their forbidden courage, hands barren with  no armaments, no ammunitions, marching towards the proud valley of death, dedication born from their sempiternal dreams of a free land. 

Their bare weapon was their incessant patriotism integrated  under a sensitise unique...

When I was born, who would have thought
I’d grow up to be ruled by a clock.
Clocks mock dreams while hours gawk - 
clicking off our minutes, letting seconds go - -
		
		Did I turn the coffee and iron off,
		remember drops for my cough ...
		oh, I don’t...

You Fall ...

the ground of your reality dissolves in this
stream of distraction, this inconvenient passion
the mawkish pop music you mock
is now singing your story, as
your thoughts, your breath, your blood
all consumed by his eyes, his voice, his words
all the moments of his notice of you
painting...

This planet is such a vast variegated palette.
All ethnicities, cultures, and hues have talent.
A canvas filled with many views and dreams.
So gorgeous, humble souls and, now it seems.

In this kaleidoscope of diversity.
White and black blend into the darkness.
Mixed races provide level-thrived adversity.
There are both rich...

The Game of Hockey 

By Government decree, lacrosse
Is Canada’s national sport,
But in the hearts and minds of Canadians,
Hockey rules supreme.
Hockey is a winter sport enjoyed by Canadians since 1875,
When the game was first played, on frozen ponds, rivers,
Lakes, and in streets, and later, indoors in...

What due is this, O feline fierce,
for what affront thus penalized
with calibrated nips that pierce
for soft caress unauthorized?

T’was you with brazen move unasked
who burnished coat upon my limb.
What dire affect iconoclast
did stir your feral feline whim?

The cat is oft like womankind
beyond man's feeble intellect,
a primal...

I remember my cherished Wolf Cub pack, 
How I loved those Wednesday evenings, 
The games, the pomp and seriousness of the camps, 
The different coloured scarves, sweaters and hair 
During the mass meetings, 
The solemnity of my enrolment, 
Being helped up a tree by an...

Embedded Balls

When I heard about embedded balls
It got my full attention
I always thought it personal
Something one doesn’t mention
Then I read you might be penalized
Should you take relief
I thought what right do they have
They’re my own balls – good grief
And then I saw that picture
With a...

When up I was growing, awed and confused,
sure was not I of which road to choose.
For binary my soul and dellusioned my mind,
I dallied at crossroads and worried not time.
Advised by my parents, mentors and teachers,
and hell and damnation from gospelling preachers.
And I young of...

It's like a scene out of The Children of the Corn,
Sweaters torn when I head the SWARM,
Inside the inner city desert storm,

My spectacular vernacular,
and poetic style will flip you like a spatula,
I'm snatchin' ya, solo like a bachelor
Your mind becomes a prisoner when i'm attackin'...

Just like football I am penalized
My wife says for being off sides 
I just wanna snuggle a little bit
But you know them football brides

She wears black and white pajamas to bed
With that stupid whistle around her wrist
She blows that thing whenever I snore
And man do...

         Life,
	The Game
	Written: by Tom Wright

	I did not choose the game,
	The game chose me.
	My only choice,
	Has been my manner of play.
	I've played arduously,
	Making plays,
	Both decent and abject.
	My final quarter finds clock running,
	And the goal in...

I made a wish upon a star and really got burned
I made a wish upon a star and left Madonna breathless
I hitched my wagon to a star but forgot my spacesuit
The stars in my eyes turned out to be black holes

I couldn’t rise to the...

I beheld your frame in my doubting eyes
there was no way for me to 
explain this to by brain.
How could my trembling hands want to
follow the trail,and explore your definition.

If I know you are taboo.
What damage could be done in my adoration.
Not put here I...

The "IZE" have it

We the people try to Rationalize
the choices we make with compromise

Let's be honest we tend to idolize
and we rarely do apologize

Are rights we try to exercise
to demonstrate and vocalize

But I have come to realize
that this is all a big disguise

Government with power...
