Best Prestige Poems


The Prestige of Portrait People Preserved In Paintings.
Pickled like gherkins in vinegar

Crystallised forever in sugar

Set and translucently Jellied ...

Hung like smoked, salted meat

Pigments crushed from earth
brushes from fine animal hair

Is it because they freeze
the sitter's image which

survived as the best image 
of the sitter for millineums?

Linseed oil Egg tempera hand
mixed by devoted...

Prestige & Pride
Synonymous with freedom,
American liberty,
A voice to vote, political boat,
Laws of Constitutionality.

Parallel to choices,
America the brave,
A pledge to honor, a brlliant bonner,
Preamble promise gave.

Equality in History,
America deems duty,
Into the waves, all Countries crave,
This Star Spangled beauty.

The Prestige
Instantly, what is this?
Call the shos, make your bets!
These things come slowly,
over a long time, not "instantly",
I don't like games eih an obvious winner,
Nor magic tricks with no prestige
It's no fair to the audience
Nor the innocent volunteer
Who opened your act with hope;
Hope your show would...

Pique fancy here as glamour dates,
Rise to the glow of dazzling daze;
Expose bright cheer with destined fate,
Surreal this show of crafty craze;
Touch of sure wit in fun foray,
Ignite sheer fire in deep desire;
Glimpse of a fit that claims portray,
Embrace and sire what fame attires.
See in...

Premium Member Power and Prestige
I am often asked "what makes me tick?"
I reply, KNOW THIS.
I AM  the composer of my composure

I am the man in demand
I have sat many days in the dark listening
To the pouring rain 
I am a mover and a shaker
Thinking of the BLOOD that...

Lines etch deep rhymes in poise profound,
Observe the feel as heart springs free;
Voice cast in time as echoes ground,
Explore fine will in fertile sea;
Live happy fare as blessings speak,
Yes prompts the pace to grand wonder.
Prize joy's fond stare as pleasure peaks,
Reach to embrace what mind...

Besiege and Prestige
Besiege and Prestige 

Without God we only get gloom
So He should be in every room
When day ends and we do part
Want to have Him in our heart

All our bodies please do besiege
With Your love and not prestige
Many people still have to this day
Always seeming to...

With hard work she got into her stride

An implication of consistency in academic excellence
In her form is excellence prevailed
Imparture of knowledge to empty little boys

Amethyst
An Amethyst is a precious stone;
A quartz with a violet tone.

The colour stays purple when cold;
Then changes when heated to a yellowish gold.

A Hebrew dream rock is an amethyst;
It symbolizes goals or just a good nights rest.

Amethyst is the stone above them all;
Ifs the twelfth...

Premium Member One Hundred Colours of Gluck
Emerald envy nestled on velvet 
several thousand away from paid
Puce tulip promise inducement
secluded juice, palliation delayed 

Ivory aspire ripped wide envelope
plump with numbered requirement
Absinthe ardent delerium implode
paper stack compiling assignment

Cerulean satin adorns a champion
swanky speculators chase plethora
Fuchcia blooming futures chiming
swindle hopeful fast hoof investors

Magenta dash...

Things Have Been Incomplete
Life is with halves replete,
No one real thing complete,
As things gladly deplete
And these sadly repeat:
Someone could include heat 
And a drunk wet soil peat 
I : a rock-n-roll beat
And clothes sewn from long sheet,
Because they at last shrink
And go ahead to stink;
My prestige starts to...
