Best Replay Poems

Not Again! six inches on top of the snow we already had! This started out to be a blank verse sonnet, but it didn't turn out that way.


The snow has smothered life tonight
Our world now gleams in flawless white
Below the earth, the bulbs’ low whine
impatient...

        "Resolutions Replay"




All resolutions for twenty thirteen
Always promise to start out peachy keen
dreaming or wide awake
my pet peeve is cheesecake
A wide waistline on bikini screams "mean".

Pineapples, cheeries, strawberries or plain
Calories are the secret to weight gain
trying to deny...

I remember the day Trixie died,
Sinbad staring out upon her grave.
No crying, just day after day, homage.

I couldn’t stand seeing the pain,
Nothing I did, petting, holding,
Could bring him away from the grave.

So down to the pet store I drove
Hoping for a partner to please
And found...

Replay



The woman pushes the stroller
I look up; the pale sliver of moon
white skin, with veins
Where am I? What is this world?
You are just a child. I am your mother.

I am a woman
Steering the wheel through questions
The moon is too pale in the dark
I look up...

1. A satellite on me is so superfluous
b’cos even without it, you’ll see my flaws
my new adulthood on your eyes is a sty
as my every late night makes you pray and cry
anytime my rebellion faces your bash
my dearly connection with you seems to crash
please dad,...

This is what my soul sounds like-
crescendo; the silence overflowering
with waves of bliss and rose-coloured hope,
this is my happiness, love stretching out 
into a multi-coloured kiss, decrescendo,
a dry bouquet of carnations displayed
at the foot of my grave, 
the quiet self of alienation, where I am,
where...

Columbus despised local folk
Like Trump, he fibbed as he spoke
But truth be told
He wanted their gold
And you know that man ended up broke...

He plays the ball
As he lays down
Stop!whistle says.

You're shallow as a pool of dirt,
In which your semi-force has drowned.
Your words are pointless and absurd;
You spread your helplessness around.
You hide behind your ego brand,
You contradict your each demand.
 
You're freedom-proof, yet still aware
Of all the grieves of your position.
Wipe out the rust of...

Places to visit.


This body aches to fake another day
to stay one step ahead
but if there was another way
I think I'd stay in bed.

Not built to last
finished now and cast adrift
and yet my spirits lift
when I gaze upon the face before me
a face filled sensitivity
duration and...

Movie of you
stuck in my mind
same episode
thoughts of you
in reverse
over and over

I make
meek adjustments
random consolations
but the script
remains the same
things you said

A constant replay
a tsunami of grief
like drowning
in your own lungs
as time goes by

What to blame?
the heart lives on
things you did
forlorn memories
of missing you
things you didn't...

Woe to pain in heart 
Time ticks tremendously so
Torn apart from the start

Engrained with patterns
In my mind frame, discerning 
What is evil or good…

Clear as water here
Murky rivers and lakes flow…childish fears draw near

Naught lasts forever 
Life here is temporary 
A lot of kindness…

In this...

There's a journey that we all must take,
Where time and space are clearly fake.

When painful steps are trekked again,
While going back, as if only to begin.

The threshold crossed can't be seen by most,
As it borders imagination, from coast to coast.

This trail is carried by only...

Letting the past year
Replay before my eyes
Being brought to tears--

The butterfly
She appears...
