Best Schemes Poems


Premium Member The Welkin - and - the Influences
1. The Welkin
Wind blows / clouds race / vast blue sky
Breeze tugs / trees sway / great green hills
Sun scourged / sand glares / small white beach
Skip stones / thoughts nag / mind fug stills

2. The Influences 
Seeds sprout / stems firm / youth glean part
New buds / core splayed / new growth hearth
Weeds choke...

Is science an everchanging paradigm
akin to poetry’s everchanging rhyme

interpreted by those who never write
yet keep a dark thesaurus out of sight

and so when I place paper beneath pen
I seldom rate the outcome “lose or win”.

One breakthrough gave the surgeons laughing fits
when told, “between your cutting - wash your mitts”

as poets play the game of “almost...

She rode home on a packed train
 at the peak of rush hour
 She longed for those still, silent moments
 Where she could unwind
 From the hustle and bustle of the day

 She found solace in celestial fireflies
 And the night's  dark embrace
 A  quiet  retreat from the stress of the day

Suicide Schemes
I wonder again why I have talked, uninterrupted
Until I am blue in the face
Convincing as I may be
You still believe
You're nothing more than human waste

Empty threats, locked doors turn into quiet space
So I kick and kick until the door breaks through
On the floor I find you
Anger such, an adrenaline rush
But no sign of you cold...

Color Schemes
Color schemes
of
brightest dreams
rainbow thoughts
with
confetti spots
sprinkled flakes
with
glitters shake
steady drops
from
ink pen tops
glow in the dark
pastel painted pictures
created
by beautiful Miss and Mr.'s...

Germ Schemes
Germ Schemes

I had a dream where I was goosed
with a shrink drug I was reduced
the same size as my fellow germs
but human nature came to terms
I had the power to compete
with HDL or LDL
on what to eat and what to shun
invent a bacteria
and cure in any area
or wake up if it isn’t done

Lost In Wild Imaginations Or Vain Schemes of Some Anticipated Good
Some quiet time
no talking
no hurrying
no running
no appointments made for next milions of weeks
just sitting 
taking pleasure in sitting
peace and quiet
maybe with ice tea or nice cup of hot coffee 
looking at the sea 
and some love...
These are the deepest ones....

Colour Schemes
Neither Eve nor the Virgin Mary
Were born white like an Irish Faerie
Yet men hope and pray
There will come a day
When they can pluck a pure-white cherry...

Poetry In Schemes
Poetry In Schemes

Dare I see and not meet in the eyes of dreams
Be near in death's erotic well trodden dream kingdom
May not it exemplify and so suddenly then appear,

Those lustful exotic blue eyes are not quite what they are
As seen through the sunlight as in poetry in schemes
Does your heart not unravel like a broken...

Premium Member The Wide Bowl
This bowl is no longer mine,

was never so,  

Let it go. 

well worn before the oath,

A gift that despised the guardian, 

Presented freely without a dowry in May. 

tainted, and abandoned. 
  
used, and widened by many.  

too wide to keep a home. 


This bowl is no longer mine,

Let it go,

insatiable, licentious...

Pyramid Schemes
Your posts are so popular,
You should join my selling team.
So much money you could make,
Even more than you can dream.

This better-than-all make-up,
Sure to cover every flaw.
Who would want to leave the house,
Looking natural at all?

Don't forget the slimming shakes,
Everyone could use a shed.
Just don't tell the side effects,
They are bound to mess the bed.

Oh you'll...

Paint Schemes and Lurid Dreams
I Colored her eyes with blue tip markers, and fed those paper lips with lead smirches. Vampire kisses dotted amid a frail frame clipped and cropped with silver sheers. Paper cuts and smudge thumbs of ink. Artistic hearts taped from low drifting dreams until the balloon of imagination is nipped. A splash of paint and...

There's good and evil in everyone
Don't be fooled, all of us bar none
Some hide it well
Conniving as hell
But try to be nice if they're pointing a gun...

Drama of Trauma
on this wonderful earth
from our birth to the death
unfortunately,
we are travelling with worthless faith on the path,
we are moving quite crazy by being lazy,
omitting the truth,
that is hiding beneath our breath
changing wonders to squanders,
going and glowing without actual growing
with a sound war between the health and the wealth
struggling for happiness
searching the sign and rhyme of...
