Best Speaker Poems

At my college graduation
There most likely was a speech,
But my memory of whose it was
Is simply out of reach.

Yet today celebrities can claim
Commencement’s greatest prize – 
All those celebrating graduates
To bolster and advise.

Surely Conan, Oprah, Ellen
Would a nifty speech produce
But I envy those who listened
To...

Just like I said it would go down the Speaker of the House
sold you out to (liberal left) makes him a rhino louse 
Obama called and thanked him, for giving his suppport
A great big hug across the aisle for his number one cohort

Most on the...

We all want a few things to do
just once in a while
We want to kill that special something that falls through our fingertips
Like last moments of a kiss; the break tears off a gasp of your facade
Leaving skins spoken into yet louder spins
Whatever it takes...

I once heard a girl on Maury call her so-called husband a “motivational speaker”. 
He pimped, cheated, and beat her. 
But she said that he completed her.
Chuckling at the sight with who at the time I felt was Mr. Right. 
Fully aware of the fact...

The Speaker

         The speaker spoke and in words of choice
         Spoke with a very commanding voice.
	 And as he warmed to his chosen theme
	 With greatest gusto outlined his...

Of the House? Really????

Paul Ryan?  Speaker of the House?
he's just John Boehner 3
Did McCarthy, really get scared off?
smells fishy,  can't you see?

Something really doesn't jibe
we all know that it's true
May as well forget the wall
illegals welcomed through

Amnesty, he'll push for it
been on his...

Internal Speaker
The word comes on your internal speaker, 
the word won't leave you alone,
 hammer and tong of a poet long gone,
determined to have his word known,

distortion abortion of mindset,
 the ripples vibrate on their own :}
get up put it in the computer
other side poem,...

A voice in a room squashed the silence
Efforts of action were darkened by menace 
She rejected the urge of a soul leaving
Body presence was all she seeking
It can’t be denied left-ing out is cool
Minding nothing won’t ignite the fuel
Purposeless race to make disgraceful noise
Breaks the...

Do I stay 
Do I go
Where will my words flow
From my heart like a river 
But I forget not to drowned 
holding my breath
Wishing for solid ground 
Passion and improv
Are they the key to the soul 
Ever speaking its emotions
but where did the listeners go
A...

“Women Have Loved Before As I Love Now”
by Edna St. Vincent Millay

Women have loved before as I love now;
At least, in lively chronicles of the past-
Of Irish waters by a Cornish prow
Or Trojan waters by a Spartan mast
Much to their cost invaded-here and there,
Hunting the...

Don’t repeat.
Make it short and sweet.

Really and Very
Are words that don’t carry

A crucial amount of weight
To a descriptive word’s state.

If you must abuse
The word that you choose.

Then at least speak the power
So listeners do not sour.

Say “Very” to the...

I sit behind the computer
scripting the daily lesson plan, 
while hoping there’s no intruder,
of them I’m not an eager fan.

A guest speaker comes to impart
something in boring monotone.
I hope he imparts something smart
or I’ll be reading on my phone.

A meeting scheduled noon today
is for, I’m...
