Best Prerogative Poems

In this day and age you've gotta be positive
To combat the negatives, it's your prerogative
Tell silly jokes
Smiles they provoke
Mission accomplished, here's to all you novices

each stroke of greased fingers on the mohawk 
was a result of a genius work of art
an outlet where my soul barely peeks
yet you cut with your hypocritical shears and your rusty hand
and you call it discipline
and you call it concern
I call it ********

Enterprising Henry IV declares suzerainty over state
Xenophobic princes seek the royal prerogative to abate
Cautious king uses diplomacy, threats his minions to subjugate
Old rivals in Saxony Henry's consolidation with tyranny equate
Morose princes in the hinterland seek to avoid a similar fate
Manic King Henry sends his forces...

To cleanse your life, empty out it's past and move on, to leave no explanations, no pity, no shame. To usher the insensitive to the living and the not, to delete faces from your photographs and smile once more. I'm owed no explanation, as I...

They had fought.

 He left without a word while she was sleeping.

She threw on the gown she had worn for him the night before, 
pushed off the china vase and blooms he had given her.

She listened to it crash to the floor and sat on the window sill 
where...

Today

She does not want me any more
I am old and past my prime
I can sense its time to go
I can see it in her eyes
She is not happy any more
She shouts and screams or cries
There are no kind words any more
Just insults all the time
She...

When I was a boy of ten years old
I made my mama proud
That's when I learned a brand new word
That I'd often say outloud

I had heard other people use it
But I didn't know what it meant
So that's when I looked in Webster's
Where many hours were...

A POET’S PREROGATIVE
 
We right our souls as we
Write our souls because we must,
 
Or like confetti, the words'll bust
Out from us willy-nilly, and
 
Poets cannot let words simply sully out,
Cannot scatter and strew them about,
 
Without some kind of form
(Even formless forms like this...

Citizens Prerogative

In this clime of ours,
citizens right is an illusion,
the subjugation leaves a dent.

Our legs wobble with weakness,
our lungs go dry with thirst,
Dreams bleached in graves.

From one mendacious tale to another,
It's a cycle of everyday struggles, 
and there's no end in sight.

Amid sighs and sobs,
amid...

Nature has given you a Face
Expressions are your prerogative

Nature has given you Limbs
Compassionate deeds are your prerogative

Nature has given you Mind
Divine thoughts are your prerogative

Nature has given you Heart
Loving all is your prerogative

Nature has given you Life & Death
Moments in between is your prerogative

dreamless sleeping
tearless weeping
body argues with soul
cannot control
the thoughts within
they toss and turn
never ceasing
the endless song of confusion
where will my hopes lead?
can i ever regain stability?
spiraling 'round and 'round
games we play, so dumbfound
let me free from chaos
i want to obey my soul,
to sleep and dream,
to weep...

Jimmy asked Janet out on a date

Janet told Jimmy he'd have to wait

Jimmy chose not to wait for Janet

And chased every girl on the planet

Then Janet said she may have been hasty

Thought Jimmy's offer really quite tasty

Janet told Jimmy she'd have her own way

Jimmy and...

Nazriel Rising Small World Ace

She was as pretty as ever on this night
With me smitten to bits with her aura
As we met on our usual pickup location
Nazriel that one who so compliments me

We were on an official business briefing
One of Epic proportions with intricacies
This time...
