Best Precision Poems

The Double Rhyme Sonnet is a sonnet that rhymes not only the end of the lines but also the front part (metrically)! Of course, I would be looking for imagery, good grammar, meter, etc.; however, the most important criterion is that it be written precisely...

The Snowflakes Precision

What a cruel and un-compassionate fate you bequeath us
A million years of the mediocre and paltry garnish of faith and hope
Given for the consumption of these generations

How uninspired and habitually in denial
We have become

The lost worlds of dreaming
Left waiting
For better times and in...

Love is the ultimate and only real revolution....

For years I've hugged a dream
Not a very lady-like one
But then again
Who said, I am a lady?
Not me!

I want a pile of rustic junk
A few bicycles
A perambulator
A pile of wood
Nails plus aged string
So that I may finally set about
Creating
My favourite thing!

There is no need for...

HEARTBEAT PRECISION 

A woven thread, not hasty, precision
of each honey-mannah dewdrop, in place.
Mercy extends soul’s heartbeat decision.

Of each honey-mannah dewdrop in place,
a restful haven in times of trouble,
a sweet bite of heaven - blessed embrace.

A restful haven in times of trouble,
manifest wings of Jesus open...

Ardor, not passion, when it comes to a profession
  Alacrity, not zeal, when it's time for confession...

major decision
use poetic precision
with my permission

bishop suffragan
right hand person of bishop
who makes things happen

as well as abuse
an abortion may misuse
constantly confuse

must accept challenge 
or by it may be consumed
right down to last once

God always with me
set free from futility
with humility

always be laid back
people should never...

A sorry soul remains full
when you reek of grief and shame-
When a loved one dies,
the embers...they flame
and crimson tears fall from your eyes.

A new day became a sad day and
tomorrow is yet to be discovered-
The wrong way became the right way and from 
this sorrow...

Precision swearing they call it
A term that may sound absur
But it’s economical with the breath
And wastes not a single word,
It rolls smoothly from the tongue
Instantly relieving pain
And, in the case of mental turmoil
Relieves stress and strain.
Better  for use in private 
When one can really...

Little boys learn to fight using their tightened fists to throw a punch,
Throwing rocks, or tripping someone at lunch.
Little girls have a much more subtle and longer-lasting effect,
Using their words to leave bruises, using their words to gossip and mince and dissect.
Words, if used wrongly,...

Winning done by sinning will be gaining no meaning!
-
Anger appears to be stronger, but the rancor will linger fairly longer!
-
If you really want something, nothing must daunt you to think you can't!
-
In your mission, submission to rules must be given permission to realize the taken...

I watched the morning glow as the universe gets ready for the evening show, everything was in place and they were getting ready to run the big race, but time was on their side   and on wisdom they had to rely, the birds...

Make Decision With Great Precision

Bang!  My lips turn down to frown
Windage and elevation, it didn’t feel right
Turning the turrets, two left and two down
Minute of angle accommodating my sights

Both eyes open and steady hands
Acquire the target and slow the heart
Breathe, and lets the bags of sand
Steady the path...

The Clock

dial bright-white
imposed with
bold-black numbers

scored sounding
repetitive

like 1-2, 1-2, 1-2
or
tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock

dial colors
contrasted

tick-tock sounds
perfect precision.
