Best Portrayed Poems


Premium Member Actors in Love

Ah romance — such an elevated form of make-believe,
with promises and roses that are rarely kept.
Two players, both knowing, smiles just as wily,
each coming closer, each stinging a lie.

They say love’s a puzzle, some misty dance,
but more likely it feels like an enterprise, a turn –
a wink and a promise neither has any right to make,
only two clever souls with a ruse to follow.

Premium Member Personification Portrayed

They filled me full of milk so white
Semi-skinned,fat free and light

The supermarket's, a place real cool
Full cream,my cousin, made folks drool

In and out of the fridge each day
Then,crushed in a recycle box,I lay

To the waste tip that week I went
Off to the plastic factory I soon was sent

Instead of rotting in brown earth
In a green revolution,I have rebirth

They filled me full of milk so white........

Women's empowerment

Comrades, Are women in society very weak?                                             I always answer no to that rhetorical question                   
Women are already very strong and unique.                                                     The word woman contains the word man, You listen.                    
                                                                                                                           Man and woman are equal genders commonly.                                     No more job discrimination against women please,                                             Try to pursue gender equality in the workplace honestly.                                           Teach them the awareness of gender role needs            
                                                                                                                 Property inheritance shall be given to women.                                    This economic equality brings them up and up  
Women's self- sufficiency is to be allowed                                               Old patriarchal attitude and system shall be crushed                .                                                                                                                          Women are portrayed as pretty and polite generally                                But men are expected to be bold and strong.                                         Usual gender roles affect women's behaviour intentionally                                                                          
Media shall speak out against this gender bias lifelong.      
                                                                                                               Women are capable of doing everything obviously.                                   If women achieve powers then the barriers will fall.                                   sorry, women's work is never easy surely                                                  We have to educate women, the new generation and all.


Premium Member Self Portrayed

culture of narcissism
      making&shaping self
the sitters soul
    subconsciously disguised

a mirror myth
  in a large field
a product of memory
             & imagination
withdrawn into self
          . .                   in profile


THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived

Portrayed Reality

Hello Alex 
How have you been?
It seems like forever,
It's good to see you my friend.

Where did you go?
Why did you hide?
Some of us were worried, 
Others thought you died.

You abandoned your truth.
You were ashamed so ran away 
but it's time to come home.
There's no need to be a stray.

Hi there Alex
How have you been?
It seems like forever,
Welcome home my friend.

Everything's alright now.
You're going to be okay.
Life is so much better
than the reality you portrayed.
