Best Podium Poems
The PodiumI stand on the podium, with a trembling heart
Looking towards, a big sum of audience.
Their eyes are like, stars in the sky
Twinkling clearly and raising my pressure.
They seems before me, as devils in their chairs
Waiting to tear my heart, apart.
Hundreds and hundreds of eyes, I...

Podium ManThere once was a podium man.
Who gave to the world all he can.
He broadcast his message,
A dismal sad presage,
An excuse to push through his plan.
On point, there he stood smiling bright.
As he lied through his teeth, pearly white.
With showmanship air,
He feigned how he cared
For...

At the PodiumA speaker at a podium
Looks out upon a sea
Of faces, listening or not,
To varying degree.
Some lecturers go on and on
And haven't got a clue
The audience is tuning out,
As folks are wont to do.
The power point display clicks by
With charts and lots of graphs;
It sure would...

The Man In the PodiumThe man in the podium has anything to say;
He can promise a better future or curse the present day.
Employing dirty tactics; either by blackmail or a lure;
He’s allying with the devil for the simple crave of pow’r.
All eyes to this fellow; all ears...

Podium PisspotLet the breathing become tough
and the eyes quick shudder in rapping repetitions
Metaphorically I'm fine
In reality I'm screaming
as an odd teaming
of pupils gather here
to bare witness
take notes
Chore up the damagers and skip past their throats
Never mind
Thought there was some talk of speaking up
from someone who...

Bio
Chained To the Podium At the Read-AroundIf you move around,
or turn your head to the side,
your words float
into a stream of swift water
to be swallowed up by fish,
under the chair of the person
whispering in your ear,
or into air so thin
they are snatched by birds
flying into the next room.
If you're...

The Podium of Casanova's OdiumTell me, Casanova, how long you’ll pine
On sodden sleeves your heart you’ve worn
Reputation on the line in decline
Sterile standing in society shorn
Of its aura of charm and calm
Reduced to tatters
With no love balm
In sight, your maneuver no longer flatters
As you once boasted it could
At your...

On the PodiumAs the maestro,
With melodic intention,
Directed the orchestra
Through movement
Inflection
His face told the story
Of the composition
It was one of feeling
Deep love
Through years of time
Always prevailing
But not without trials
The tribulations needed
To make the love
Worthwhile
It wasn’t until the finale
That I read the name
The composer
Was the maestro
One who lived...

ExerciseThe pain and the success,
The aches and the medals,
The sweat before the shower,
Feeling weak where you once felt power.
The trips and the podiums,
The icy morns and the sunlit eves,
The strained pant before the joyous exhale,
A winning mentality to beat any fear of fail.
The disappointments and...

Women In a StadiumAlways a tough business: Tournament
But women take along ornament:
Old Testament's and New Testament's
They put it on, they're in firmaments...
Now and again for rearmament
Why can't it be in tournament?
"Sure, football is played in stadiums
But last week, I was here for idioms;
Our resource persons on podium,
