Best Succinct Poems

It’s hard to write succinctly.
It’s murder to condense;
So lengthy poems quite often seem
To be the consequence.

It really takes a special skill
To trim or cut in half
The thoughts you must compose
With just the wheat but not the chaff.

Consolidation is the key
But when I’m taking stock,
I’m well...

Strange things happened that last time my Grandpa drove to town
He scrapped a nine eleven and mowed a phone booth down
Folkies in the future will very likely sing
The man trashed a McDonald’s but spared a Burger King

It barely made the papers, just local news in...

Unconventionally brilliant
Champions that are resilient
To being rocked down the chart
Living forever in our hearts
Sounds make you want to break free
From the boundaries of conformity
Let them rock you til you drop
Play the game, never stop
Like Mercury rising up the gauge
Under pressure to perform on stage
A kind...

Sort your thoughts out and make sense clear,
Use moments well to write your play;
Choose not to shout but weave fond cheer,
Calm voice can tell much more each day;
Indulge fond heart with feeling facts,
Note how you live within your means;
Charm ever starts to mind fine tact,
Touch...

Love God with heart's best; from Him don't depart
Bestowed on you is protective command
Triumphantly around promised land's rampart
Fulfill with faith, pleased by the Lord's demand.

Love your neighbor as yourself thru God's grace
Heavenly role midst golden rule indeed
Purged from sin's death wages and guilt's disgrace
Fulfill Saviour's...

Pursue the truth at its finest
Pursue it for what you know to be true, what defines how you feel
Not it's relativity in regards to others
Pursue yourself
In the sense that in this world everyone strives to be so different without realizing
That it just makes you the...

Succinct and Full of Joy


Oh, this expansive form moves from side to side; 
most of the time it is free to roam the arid landscape of expectation, the things one
hands down in time and fashion – the control we relinquish,
the automatic retributive response to morality,
to...

Drudgery beckoned,
between starched linens 
and mango colored fingernails
ripping, tearing, the rent fabric to
blissful shreds of compliance.
He needed nothing but his own 
smile
dancing nightly with vice and
tremors and all the things she 
craved but refused herself.
Until one night,
when followed by her 
conscience
up to the painted boudoir...

See what you are in sires estate
Just as a star can shine your fate:


See succinct glow in words that come
To simply show a gain you sum:


See how the fool can be made wise
By grace that cools the feel you prize:


See in a glimpse the glimmer...

Cream clever cites
Blunder blames bite


Speak succinct sounds
Prime profound pound


Drill deeper dance
Charm crafty chance


Live laughing laze
Meet mindless maze


Drill distant doom
Glance grouchy gloom


Pay plenty praise
Rich rapture raise


Niche nimble near
Fun foils fear


Be blessing bright
Seek soaring sights

Caution the freeway
Muffle the the noise 
Scour the earth 
Search out his boys
With regret 
Inform them their father lay dead
Succinct in his bed
And tell the to put aside there grief
The time has come to anoint a new Chief...

Sweet foods can fling
Urge that now stings


Grief can speak plain
Ailment that strains


Reach for a way
Yield to harsh stay


Dreary this lot
Indulge sad thought


Appeal to form
Bloom in odd norm


Expose the threat
Trust in mindset


Treat each new day
Expect bold sway


Set in sure time
Meet broken rhymes


Express your pain
Live harsh restraint


Love...

Word wise way
Pique prompt play


Jazz joy juice
Oomph odd ooze


Seek sweet style
Wear warm wiles


Street smart sway
Dance dream day


Glimpse grand gaze
Meek mind maze


Taste tough times
Cheer crafts chimes


Best be bold
Feel fear fold


Vet verse vibes
Treat taut tribe


Hues hurl hints
Move mind mint
