Best Prohibits Poems


A Butterfly Inside
I feel a butterfly inside;
its wings are cramped within my breast.
The weight of flesh, o dull cocoon,
prohibits my free flight. At best
I only soar inside; my wings--
gossamer, light, remain untried.
I wait...I wait...until the day
the barred' cage is flung aside
and airy wings lift toward the skies.

I...

Premium Member What Have I Seen?
1

Sunrise, late winter
skunk smell
turkey flock
playful otter, too.

The white heron
a great blue,
white phase,
in the abandoned beaver pond.

Purple clematis
its long-awned achenes
in globose heads
spidery, fiery, extravagant fruit!

To identify or classify
birds by
the complexity or beauty
of their songs.

And so
what is over that
ridge or hill
a sink-hole, a sand dune, a steep...

Premium Member Lexical Dexterity
Superfluous dialect doth vomit in regurgitated deglutition,
Whence the pleonasm prohibits a prose's poesy inhibition.

If thee refer to the thesauri, and lexically thy dexterity shall enhance,
Mayhap then thy ken shall apprehend these subsequent words, perchance.

The four-dimensional tesseract of chaotic cognition coalesced in arcane diction,
Shall encase in...

Running River
The river runs deep and wide,
There isn’t a day gone by that we haven’t cried.
Our link to old wisdom and the beautiful past.
We tried to hold on with our weak human grasp.
The rushing water’s path of destruction,
Prohibits us from following your instruction.
We swim against the...

Premium Member The Official Jar Opener
I was the official jar opener in our house

Until this jar of Bick's Pickled Beets

Knocked me off my perch

Mr. He-Man here is now fighting off severe depression

It's a conspiracy, cause I was acting too much like a smart ass

That lid tightening machine heard about me

And...

Achab*, Translation of Pierre Emmanuel’s Achab by T. Wignesan

One man alone stands erect before the king, and speaks
A man
Alone

The king is not accustomed to being confronted face to 
        face
He reigns over heads bent.
He prohibits their looking at...

Premium Member And Today's Speical Is Wine and Cheese
"And Today's Special is Wine and Cheese" 

Some wine and cheese  
If you would please  
Depressed, I cannot express myself for I’m being oppressed and repressed  
Yet, I reside in the west, my lines are treated as an unwelcome guest
I’ve ornamented ideas...

The Final Brace of the Poetries I Meant As One To Post, But By This Could Not
It is generally thought of to be one of the myriad,
Guiding, governing, binding principles and precepts of all 
Mature civilized countries that what horrors that they unleashed in
Vilest, bloodiest, convulsive conflictual combative martial 
Confrontation, on their fellow man,
Even if he be in an neighboring nation,
That, upon the...

Premium Member Four Cafes
Riotous revellers' laughter drifts up from their apricot lit late night haunts, four cafes are notoriously avoided venues for overindulgent consumption of alcohol. 

 Across the street, from my thirtieth floor apartment window, remote portrait of bodies bent enthralled over their beers, 
toads on stools...

The Yeti's Conflict
As I set and ponder,
My mind does wander,
As if in search of an answer out yonder.

Suddenly, a I sense a thought from a creature so rarely seen.
But he allows his thoughts to enter my dream.
With desires that flow like a stream.

He says his name is...

Limited Possibilities
Fear of the unknown prohibits any advancement
 
Yet I am comfortable with my position in being ignorant and at a standstill.
 
Too many possibilities are there for one to accept every chance.
 
In a game of roulette one could lose on the first round
 
And,...

Just a four letter word
Which defines life's only ford
It's proclaims us to stay on
And prohibits us from thought of move on
It's like messiah nd angel of our life

It's reason of our fortitude 
Endeavouring us for aim

The Curse of Many To the Audience of One
Help me out here
by leaving me alone here
Yeah I'm over it, you could say that I'm over everything
I just have one small problem
I just need to figure out the spaces in mu mind
vacant, a confusing mystery
I'm clueless and it all seems so pointless, useless
I'm drowning...
