Best Rationalise Poems


Premium Member The Day When No Poetry Exists But You Write Stuff Down, Just Not the Real Stuff Aka Throwaway Words
There's no poetry in me
I'm empty
I'll make sweeping remarks
Change my mind
Keep it in 
Spit it out
Sink and fly
Gaze out in a daze
Lost beneath eyelids 
Too heavy to rise
Too watched to sleep it off by closing
I wish to be enclosed in an embrace that takes away...

Pleasure To Be Here
Pleasure To Be Here! 

I am here at PoetrySoup because I had no voice, 
No expression of what was internal and inside; 
I used to as a child, three, four, and even two, 
Write poems, rhymes to myself inside my head. 

I hated my mum...

Rationalisation of Explanation
Rationalisation of Explanation


Do not question
The almighty plan
For such are the reprisals of fear
That turn blind despair into adulation 

The evident proof
Existent in raped women and children
Irrefutable in famished stomachs
Undisguised in all the suffering

Hangs stark and uncompromising
Humanity through centuries of historical brutality
Has treated us with its...

Premium Member Irrational Understanding
Those Irrational numbers used in maths, 
They lead to understanding what's real,
Those numbers rationalise all that we make, 
Like building a perfectly round wheel,

With pi and e and the Golden ratio, 
And of course the square root of two, 
We can now create everything, 
Though...

Take Heed
We must take courage to look at, can, 
That dirge and the tragedy of Hiroshima, 
To conclude and rationalise if we can, 
That throbbing, deathly, vile panorama.

We did it, we conceived of it, 
We intentioned that statement said, 
So let that blood statement ourselves hit,...

If I Were To Meet An Earlier Version of Me
Doubtful at times, an optimist by nature,
Proud of these times yet disappointment is never a stranger,
The tears that left my eyes mellowed the laughters that burst me into life,
The wrongs I did, corrected my survival to thrive,

Those screams left me out of breath,
Emptied my chest...

Premium Member Anger Management
Anger sets in, deep in the mind.
Amygdala fires up, logic becomes blind.
Tightness of chest, muscles tensing, preparing for fight or flight.
Anger sets in, deep in the mind.

Thoughts crash and topple trying to find.
Scrambling to make sense, to rationalise!
Eyes widen, jaw stiffens as adrenaline flies!
Anger sets...

Deliverance
Caught between what I want 
and what I can never be: 
an animal caged 
whilst dreaming of the Serengeti. 
A letter addressed, 
under-funded, undelivered, 
never to reach its destiny. 

As a child, naïve, blinkered. 
Life was simple, 
so easy to comprehend. 
Youthful arrogance 
my foremost...

My Depression
my depression is like trying to live whilst dead,
 its like a barrier holding me down to my bed, 
sometimes I think I might as well be blind because everything seems like a blur in my mind ,
 it always makes me feel like a...

Premium Member What It Should Be To Be Humankind
Some people make me smile

Some people have a heart of gold

You can always tell who they are

It doesn't matter how poor, how pretty or how old 

Without these people the world would be a worthless place

You know such people, you know their face

We all try...

Common Sense
Close your eyes, breathe in and feel 
What your senses experience, what is real 
Sight alone can miss what is there 
Sometimes you don’t see…even through a stare

Then there are sounds that conjure a vision 
But those alone may cause confusion 
Maybe a smell that’s...

The Simple View
The process is easy, theory simple, action not complex at all

You tense a muscle, physics follows law and chemistry combines

The reality, as so often, is different

Your eyes blink in salt, your heart pounds, your lungs heave

Seems the biological part of the equation also causes a...
