Best Prelim Poems
Time Will TellTIME WILL TELL
A modest planet and quietly progressing
Troubling no other and fealty confessing
Surviving well enough and paying its dues;
Quiet corner of the galaxy. No foreseen surprise to bemuse
The ruling committee were in contented mood
Agreements reached and cautious plans reviewed
Coffee served. The...

GeneralissimoSpring, Summer, and Autumn are Her rival,
but they all pale to Winter's arrival.
She is less subtle than the other three,
so shelter's a matter of survival.
Jack Frost is tethered to Her every whim
and She enjoys exclusive use of him.
She's fond of the art that He...

The Tree's UpThe tree's up, yet it’s not looking so prim
its needles all shriveling and dying,
so this Christmas is feeling kinda grim.
The cat destroyed the decorative trim,
she says she didn’t, but I know she’s lying,
the tree's up, yet it’s not looking so prim
The kid’s socks make...

White VeilBeneath the white veil, I lie with waiting arms to greet your kiss
Starlight eyes to see the goodness and serenity of thy lips
I feel softness upon my silky sonnet skin
With love felt in my soul, My spirit feels you within
Beneath the white veil, I feel...

Adamantine TearsAngels tears hover still solace in the soul
Blessing the opaque kiss
Amongst the winds each touch , I feel in each twilight
Sketched in painted horizon aspiring lights
Angels tears shelter my being
priceless showered lights seen
Prelim the kiss,delicate erodes sing
Azure tokens...

Hidden AgendaHIDDEN AGENDA:
It's on record,
Stripping naked in a rainfall.
A prelim lost of freedom,
Heddled by a downfall,
Highlighted with boredom.
The journey is so wrong,
And the prelim wants to hold on.
His soul is crying 'oh Lord'.
Time to time feeling appalled.
The challenge seems so tough.
He wish his...

We Never Walk Alone
We Never Walk Alone
Miracle Man
January 15, 2022
Often times in life we all need to hear,
the words uttered, “I’m standing beside you.”
Those times when perhaps we're engulfed by fear,
and we’re not exactly sure what to do.
It’s then we turn to a higher power,
believing He’ll make...

Let Go of the Loose LadyLET GO OF THE LOOSE LADY:
She wants you to lavishly spend on her,
More than how good you treating her.
You are showing the best love to her,
Because you fear to loose her.
But everything you doing for her,
Seems not to be acknowledged by her.
Her families don't even...

Gen Eng
Engineered for perfection,
genetically enhanced
A new model of cloned humans,
so technologically advanced
They make real humans obsolete
So you try to pass in this new brave world,
get yourself a full scan genome work up
All of the prelim specs indicate
you got what it takes ... the right mix to...

A Man's PlaypenShe sits silently in contemplation,
immersed in quietude and solitude.
And yet, she's here to voice her frustration
with the church, portraying women as lewd.
God made woman subservient to man,
or so says church dogma espoused by men.
But she cannot believe it was God's plan
that she be a toy...

A Fervor For Travelling
The thought of traveling is inspiring to me.
So many amazing countries I've read about.
Places I've dreamed of visiting and long to see
by plane, rail, or car. Whatever my chosen route.
Excitement begins when my decision is made
as to where I'll go, close to home or far...

BranchBranch made the ax head float
Restored to use, so take note
Elisha's branch points to Him
Branch, the metonymic prelim
A limb grew out of Jesse's root
Beginning as a tender shoot
The shepherd boy became a king
An Ideal Savior - his offspring
David's line in disarray
Branch is born Christmas Day
The...

VERSE 1:
Have you undertaken any perspection,
Vividly over her actual perception?
Sometimes I get stuck to conflictions,
As this issue yields confussions.
I'm never okay with your conviction,
Though it comes by in profusion.
Her love for you is clearly an illusion,...
