Best Strike Hard Poems


Reaper
The Reaper I know,
You respect no one. 
When you decide to take one home,
Age, color, accomplishments mean nothing to you
In your court. 

You harvest every soul
At your most convenience. 
In life's prime and low, you strike hard
Without any consideration. 

You cause unexplained weeping
And a void...

Though We May Not Be Saints -Roundabout Poem
I take my pen,  write words to paint,
With boldness, color lines. 
My views reveal,
Some thoughts I feel, 
With boldness,  color lines. 

When there’s a need, strong words define,
Strike hard,  bear truth at will.
Hit the mighty
Powers that be, 
Strike hard,  bear truth...

The Portrait of My Hero
Shawaï!
Born struggling for bread and butter on the way to the barren land
Where Adama’s warriors settled like saviors with Fulani to spread the Nation
And implant Fulani’s mingled tradition burying indigenous cultures with the edge of 
Their swords and the spade of convincing myths, with detriment...

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry



Water Works
Simple, elemental, essential, source of Life
Coursing this blue planet’s rivers and streams
Rush fast through the harbor burst out to sea

Sail open ocean, charge shore by Moon’s guide
Morph mass and matter, touch atmosphere
Return condensed, slightly cloaked vaporized

Creeping and crawling fog in to the Bay
Over land, pushing...

The Mighty Never Fall
Be he perched atop of Everest
Or on the Forrest floor
Screaming out in agony
The mighty never fall
Send forth you army to dissipate
The spirits beckon call
Call on your creator if you must
For the mighty never fall
Hold high your sword or spear or bow
Like many have before
Strike hard...

Miss Carlina
MISS CARLINA 

Hey, dearly Miss Carlina,
your beauty radiates inner
and settles amicably on the outer.
Your vibes strike hard from distance,
And paint the colours of romance.

I welcome the allure your looks pose;
Joy is the fragrance your personality ooze 
Inside out, your beauty shows. 
Inside me, this feeling...

The Journey
The journey begins with a single step,
It miles away but the choice is yours to take,
It's all about the movement,
Moment you realize you can crawl, walk, run and fly knowing there are possibilities in impossibility,
The world is yours for taking, only if you do more...

Don'T Spare the Rod
Don’t spare the rod
Without remorse
Strike hard

For every child good there’s one bad 
Take no chances
Strike hard

Education must come from above
A swinging stroke
Strike hard

Old decorum a twilight 
Duty fading
Strike hard

World now bemused by little Jimmy
Take pleasure
Strike hard...

Premium Member Hard and Fast
A man takes responsibility,
for things he may do.
There is nothing wrong,
with an apology or two.

The soup is a family,
no one needs to leave.
Take notice of your actions,
nobody's beyond reprieve.

Jesus loves us all,
may God be with thee.
Everybody has feelings,
open your eyes and see.

These days of insults,
are...

Why He Killed the Emperor, Part Iii
...“ ‘I used to love talking with friends,
they gave such meaning to my life,
but after watching them all die…
it no longer makes my eyes bright.

“ ‘I’ve loved women of every type,
indulged in every sort of sex,
from passionate to quite depraved,
yet now, more and more, I...

The old fart alter cocker shuffle
The old fart (alter cocker) shuffle

as one fairly long run on sentence
unwittingly made locally famous 
courtesy residents here at 
Highland Manor Apartments
as first one foot and then the other
painstakingly, and agonizingly dragged 
across the cement walkway
making absolutely sure
the entire foot touches the ground,
(analogous to geriatric...

Letters Stories Tell
typewriter keys strike hard and fast
	sharp black marks slightly moist
on crisp clean papers so snowy white
	lines of symbols that have no form

black and white does colors show
	golds and silvers and blues and greens
black darkness of night and golden light of day
	snow capped peaks in sky’s...

Premium Member OUT OF A CLEAR BLUE SKY

Out of a clear blue sky;

out of a smooth ripple-free pool -

stealing the light and air,

she stands with arms outstretched.

Your heart stops and your breath is caught,

and nothing else exists: She is your future.

 

You have to watch her eyes.

In dreams you might escape their...

Premium Member Volcanic Eruption Of The Soul

Unmet expectations strike hard,
hurting where they languish long.
Unkept promises are blows earned,
hitting where they find no resistance.
Unkind words are slashes harsh,
ripping through the calm conscience.

The dormant volcano within the soul 
then gets the upsurge of melted psychic mantle 
in the crust of brittle tolerance,
that collapses...
