Best Realism Poems

"Realism"
Living in a bleak world,
The realizations of the people.
All the broken dreams,
Crumbling as the world turns.
Broken souls walk the streets,
With empty minds,
And faded eyes.
Days on end,
Walking the same circuit.
Dark nights with no dreams,
And bright days with no future.
The day reality is known,
Is the day that...

dust scent through cold trampled field whilst butterflies hung by their wings to dry
blood curled the black birds drizzle depth of dark gray sheet-apostate stealth hunt

Beliefs are our compass, bringing to form
A calm, stable day or the eye of a storm
Choices are given each day in this life
To service the good or instigate strife
Oh, we're a mighty and powerful force
As the universe rises ... our ultimate source
We won't get away...

Opinions are like noses
Everybody has one
Like freedom; we all want to have fun
You don't want to die
But bought yourself a gun
In the kingdom of life
Everyone is entitled to a wife
You have love for God
But hates a brother
You can respect the air
And mock your neighbor 
But...

through the key-hole surgery of my delicate heart 
you have reached into the inner sanctum of my soul 
in Plato’s cave where I have locked away my demons 
betrayed by worm casts of secretive earthworms 

cold and unyielding
queen conch shell lips suited for bathroom decoration...

An inner wish or necessity,two roads
with a single goal.From this earthly eye
a crystal cluster of memories..happy&sad
symbolic and passionate springing forth from 
twilight lethargy to become a pictorial chronicle
of life giving vitality..realism revealed

Hear me recite from my 4100+ PS anthology on youtube under my pen nameichthyschiro..

Imagination and Realism

Imagination and realism
Both sounds opposite
But imagination is the harmony of realism
They are the rhythm of one string
Like string of guitar we just see in real
And the sound it produces only we hear
With the soft sound of string
Colorful scenes always we imagine.

SONNET FOR REALISM IN ACTION
OR: If a job is worth doing, it’s worth doing badly

We’re told with smug assurance patronising
That if a job’s worth doing, then do well with it
But if we doubt our faultless realising
We’re inclined to say in hopelessness ‘to hell with it!’
With...

You call me insensitive,
But I don't believe that's true;
Because, you see,
It's all about me.
It's not about you.

You say your opinion doesn’t matter,
That I’ve no respect for your point of view;
But I do if we agree,
Because it’s all about me.
It’s not about you.

You say I’ve no...

Eyes as blue as the cloudless sky,
Hair as dark as a starless night,
Jaw as sharp as a shining blade,
And face as smooth as the wet sand on the beach
With a voice as warm as the sun
On a hot summer's day

All of these aspects of Mr-Blue-Eyed-Monster...

Life is unique.
It is devastating, tragic and hard goodbyes.
It is rays of sunshine and it is butterflies.
It is tears and it is smiles.
It’s lying in bed for a week
But still sprinting for miles.

Life is planned, down to every detail,
Lowered expectations so we don’t get hurt
But...

"If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe," ... Carl Sagan

Subtle crafts soundly, using euphemisms,
yet cluelessness dealt a sheltered abyss.
When one confront internal mechanisms,
whatchamacallit ... orphaned hit-or-miss.

A conundrum conspires an endowed soul,
behooves postmortem liken achievement.
Where'er wits helix...
