Best Rogue Poems

In this uncertain life you work hard everyday,
step in the hamster wheel you have mounting bills to pay,
careful not to resort to temptation you crave,
you think of the Que Sera Sera song sung by Doris Day,

You watch the news people are filled with rage,
hoping agains't...

Rogue Market


Rogue market
hidden in plain sight
tilted sign 
a crooked arrow irony
childhood’s
bittersweet
Lemonade.

The Black Bears roam the mountain top
Just before Dawn, you hear the “Hooo”
The mating call Incessant : “ STOP!! “
Infects the mind, infecting : “ YOU “

My Black Soul travels  Everywhere
The Black Bears roam the mountain top
My Dreams : I am a Rogue Black...

You Rogue

You rogue, “you made a mess of me.”
First you held me like a flower,
which made me think that I would be
safe in your ivory tower.

But “we were built to fall apart.”
You rogue, you made a mess of me.
I thought you’d never hurt my heart.
Betrayal...

A first love gone rogue
A passion extinguished
A true heart crucified
Writhing and wrenching,
Under deception’s spikes
On infidelities twisted cross.
 
A secret kept, a truth untold
A new chapter unfolds
A young man’s search
For identities answer
Awakens a hurtful memory
Of a first love gone rogue

Will the destroyer of hearts
From one man’s...

There was a girl who spent too much shoppin’
The mean hubby said she best be stoppin’
So she started to mourn
But Rogue Rhymer was born
And now her checks are no longer hoppin’...

Livid I was when that nincompoop
stained that page of my book
with tomato sauce, while eating
oh! How horrible! How horrible!
It was just a little dot but still;
definitely not easy to tolerate,
since I am a bibliophile,
enamoured with poetry and essays,
being my idols William Topaz McGonagall
and the Irish-speaker...

WHERE IS THE JUSTICE

OF A SOCIETY GONE ROGUE?

INFLATED PRICES, ECONOMIC BUBBLES,

AND UNSUSTAINABLE ECONOMIES

ALL LEAD TO GREED.

I'M TALKING ABOUT YOU,

THE GREEDY POLITICIAN,

SAYING ONE THING AND DOING ANOTHER.

SELLING AMERICA OUT TO THE TOP BIDDER.

YES, IT ALL STARTED MANY DECADES AGO,

WITH THE CREATION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE IN...

I was the child

that made you old,

I was also the girl

that couldn't be told

 

I was a rogue wave

and couldnt 
see 'now,'

that was I 
cherished

I'll never know how

 

when you went 
away

without word or a 
sigh,

I was forever bereft

we didn't get a 
goodbye

 

over time...

I am the lion of the serengeti 
the lion who circles the boma 
listening for the yelp of the hyenna 
watching the buzzards drop from the sky 
I am the lion because the wild is my father 
and nature is my mother and the instinctive...

A rogue dentist called Frederick McCrouth 
Brought misery to many a ones mouth
Caused his patients great pain
Done for profit and gain
Eventually their teeth all fell south.

Frederick's nickname was' dentist from hell'
Gold implants at a high price he would sell
He was caught in a trap
Is now...

My dad was renown as a cad
Which made my love life rather sad
Would I know when I kissed her
That she was my sister?
If not, he would be a grand dad!...
