Best Summarized Poems


A Freak of Literature

A freak of literature 
Designed by those mad poets 
But escaped the lab: 
the English classroom,
Its me G the hybrid word:
With added punctuation and 
bold character so im strong- 
Arial be my font family but I paced away,
So I ain't close to them
So sorry paragraphs and stanzas!
I guess the writer knows my verses.

A lonely word, a sentence out cast: 
Low self esteem and narrow stem
Serifs sticking out so im teased! 
Roaming the lines, in the bottom line
Seeing meaningless words and incorrect spellings;
Paragraphs hanging in the margins ,
Looking out for erasers and ink removers
No word dreams of spending their literature:
Stroked out; erased and torn out;
Threw in a garbage can: that hell!
O please writers answer us!
We just want to be read in harmony,
And spelled correctly.


We words know:
That these are the last Summarized times 
so the poem might end 
But let me finish up,
The writers know the poetry 
The whole story, they created us!
Words of this Chapter
The freak of literature,
How do I know? it's the writer
The prophecy of the chosen word:
The son of poets and the proper nouns
So they all capital letters,
Yeah! They coming for yeah!

The errors, words that have been erased
The undead, the unreadable 
Damn the legible,
Think they better than us!
Cause they accepted by the writers,
Writing and prophesizing sentences
Those verses forming stories,
It's war: words stroked
Cold inked so they erased,
Torn out papers!
This is deeper than writing!

We all words destined to be read
So some are reasoning,
Is this a verse or a poem?
Many words are beginning-
to question their literature,
Begging writers to write evenly,
No orphans and widows:
We just want to be spaced out, 
Adjustments and justified 
In lined sentences-so we spread out 
Properly uniting calling paragraphs;
Growing in numbers to stanzas,
So all the readers read us as one story.

God Summarized

The scene distorted,
the image contorted,
light shaded,
time complicated,
haunting night,
strong enough
to distort light.
God Summarized,
as he thought about evacuating the planet,
it would be wrong,
it could take very long,
but it would save civilization,
from the devil’s invasion.
The devil’s yellow light of destruction missed,
the bomb passed the earth and sizzled,
lost its power and fizzled,
God had moved the whole planet,
so the distort, contort,
was simply a divine plan,
to fool the devil,
and to save Man.

Premium Member Don'T Talk About It - Write About It

Don’t Talk About It—Write About It

As a writer and a poet, sometimes people ask me how I
do, what I do, every day as I research themes and topics
for poems or prose works that I want to write about and 
develop for potential publication in the future.

The “how I do” and the “what I do” with regard to my
everyday writing on any given theme or group of themes
are predicated on the active notion that I don’t, as a rule,
talk idly about people, topics or themes per se, rather I go
ahead and focus exactly on a certain theme or subject of 
interest, and then I begin to write about it. 

What’s the magic formula for doing all of this research
and active committed work associated with professional
writing? The answer can be summarized in two words:
Hard Work! If one is not willing to engage and to put the
effort and work into any certain writing endeavor, a true
quality writing product won’t be the result.

I write because I enjoy writing very much. Poetry is the
one literary undertaking that I like to do the most. I find
often that writing poetry has helped me to focus, and then
to write on given ideas, topics or themes more succinctly.
When a person sees a book of poetry that has, for example,
200 poems listed in it, just think of each poem, in essence,
as its very own story.

Concerning the infamous “Writer’s Block” syndrome, all
I can say is that a writer or any aspiring writer just needs
to keep working away at their various writing efforts and
never give up. Having the requisite skills and talent to be
an effective and interesting writer, poet, or novelist are a
given. Yet, one also needs a high degree of raw moxie and
a measure of commitment and steadfastness too, in order
to see any writing venture or product to its end point, and
especially toward eventual publication.

My final closing thought concerning the writing of poetry
and prose, and any other literary endeavors, in general, is:
Don’t Talk About It—Write About It!

Premium Member Change

Tentative evaluation of personal standards
Enlightens and reveals possible answers
Specific visual outline reduces
Transference of explanations and excuses

Discover behavioral actions to minimize 
problem areas that need to be scrutinized
Knowledge of character defects analyzed
enables change as awareness is centralized

Past experiences can be used to exercise
self evaluations for patterns to improvise
Trial and error results that are summarized  
determine changes that can be optimized 

Chronic, complicated consequences require candor
Warning they will repeat if there is any deceit
Trial and error is often bittersweet change from concrete 
Tentative evaluation of personal standards

Premium Member Interesting

So
it was
that I recalled my physiological reaction
to the attending physician
who along with a group
of medical students accompanying
him on his daily rounds had
gathered around the foot
of my bed and he seemed to be asking
a lot of questions
to the students while 
at the same time he was 
physically examining me. 
He asked me how I was doing so I told him, 
" I'm doing okay". 
Then I show him the toe. He looks at it and then asks the students to examine what appears to be some abnormality apparently.
This digit 
at the end of my foot
was covered by a group 
of students and some uninvited spore producing organisms
which apparently feed 
on organic matter like the tip
of a toe nail.
Together the group looked at the nail one by one then stepped away until 
the next student and then the next
managed to see for themselves.
Then the physician inquired to the interns "Is it the type found on the skin or the type found on the nail? He told the students it's medical name, "onychomycosis". 
He looked at the toe once again before he moved on his brief inauspicious statement summarized the big picture.
"Interesting".

Acknowledge Our Presence

the strength of Black folks can be encapsulated
by the power in the message we convey
for we are purposeful bold Black kings & queens
forging our own way
acknowledge our presence
as we stand in all our glory
recognize our dignity, our pride
our heritage, our story

we are significant human beings
deserving of civility & respect
multi-talented & proficient
in every aspect
we assert our rights to determine & control
our own destinies
and have jurisdiction over our families
and our communities

the power in Black people can be summarized
by the fortitude we've continuously display
from the Middle Passage beyond slavery
to the systemic racism still in play
our pertinacity our tenacity
and our steadfast aptitude
gave us the toughness of spirit to endure
society's hateful attitude

the resilience of the power in the Black community
can be epitomized by our faith in Christ
as it was His mercy & grace which afforded us
the moral strength to never give up on life
acknowledge our presence
acquiesce to our magnificence
as we will no longer tolerate
hate not indifference

acknowledge our presence

Premium Member Tombstone

Tombstone 

Three brothers and their wives, happily starting over together
One was a former lawman, searching for, not fame, but fortune 
Justice was only swift if one drew his gun first, but was too slow
The Wild West after the war; guns, liquor, anger, violence, and hope
In an atmosphere of chaos, imported entertainment bandaged the pain

This story had it all; romance, adventure, entrepreneurship, and gangsters
There was little room for cowardice in these parts; but loyalty was priceless
All were possessors of guns; the good men, the lawmen, and the lawless men
There was a vicious coward who along with the ‘Cowboy Gang’ was driven out

The pain of addiction, even back then, wiped out love and broke up marriages 
The coward cowboy said it best when he uttered, “Law don’t work round here”.
Destroying the gang was best summarized, “It’s not revenge;it’s a reckoning”.

Ex Lawman and a dying gambler renewed their relationship of prior years, places, times
I cannot think of a movie that has given me more satisfaction than this cowboy legend

Watching “Tombstone” always deeply moves me; I think I’m drawn by the “friendship factor

Only Truth Will Set You Free

Here a little there a little
Anyone out there...
Can anyone see me?

1 2 3
Its inside you and me...
Can anyone hear me?

A sign I give for free
It's meaning etched on me

Here a little there a Little
A face you will surely see
What may come..also began with me

The riddle is a lifelong mystery
Summarized by a big three

1 2 3

Once a father..came a son...to be born
And raised ..so all may learn

The mystery of the 3 
Holy and apart of me

The father the Son the spirit 
Reflect for what may become a perfect image- 8

Do you see..
Eye glasses I have given to thee

Me

I guess I'm at that point when a few 
things seem to make sense
Thankfully I don't seem to be alone in 
this case
Normally i can analyze how i feel or 
what the situation might mean but....
Right now I'm clueless because even 
those who went throught it don't 
remember.
Maybe I need a different outlook or 
something, but honestly
I wonder why I had to feel that way 
which is causing this feeling I have 
now
Then I thought it was simple and all 
would be fine
Hardly did I seek out my people, they 
sought me out though
i can never express how much it 
means, i was so naive
Thinking I needed only one person, 
now I realize
Its not necessarily a feeling to 
discribe, for one I have this;
Peppery feeling in my stomach and 
this.......
So I guess what I'm feeling could be 
summarized as 

This is a time 
That I pine for something I dont know
I know sometime God will sometime 
show
And at the appropriate time I will 
come out
Just because of those who surround 
me

P.S: this is dedicated to my people 
that i'll always love and who have 
been there and really influenced my 
composition, and they all are these 
really smart funny and lovely people, 
Wura Oyegoke, Loro Oyegoke,Oyin

Sri Lanka

So many CHRISTIANS died inhumanely.
In innocence in churches or having Easter lunches.
God, welcomed so many home in an instant.

360 died in one day.
345  Christians are killed each month, but that's a deep secret and who cares?why don't we know?

In 2018, the number of the dead Christians is staggering
Add to this 66.000 unborn in  the USA alone. Add the world abortion number, it's more than tragic.
So let's not moan about peace,there will not
be any..We support the work of Satan.
He must be doing his happy dance!

The media ignored the Sri Lanka story.
But drooled over Notre Dame.
Those snakes ~ refuse to mention that channels name.

"Eastern worshipers"what baloney!  
You know the two who said that
American leaders choke on the word Christian.

Hello these leaders with zero integitey
Pose Christians but they worship other gods,

In the USA Christians have a death warrant! 
They are considered crazy and evil.
Easter was a PAGAN goddess. Those that
perished were followers of the  Risen
Christ.

By the way, our said leaders have no fear
of bowing to and honoring Muslims?
Summarized best in the USA Congress
"Something happened to someone"
Horrible statement about 9/11!
She must have cheered over Sri Lanka!

The USA, en route to hell? I hope not.
Do not be fearful of being a Christian
or a Jew! Just be careful the words,
meshugana leaders tell us, those liars!
Disgustingly farcical liars

For Posterity

I write my poems for posterity:
To be trapped and preserved
In the pages of moth-eaten books,
To be discussed at universities
Hundred years after my death,
To be selected in syllabus and taught in
Classrooms of schools in remote lands,
In schools and exams to be summarized,
Shrunk into precis or its lines
Taken out for RC, Figures of speech,
Thought expansion-
I know my countrymen will ignore me
For every poet is ignored by his times and his homeland.
Poetry, like rolling boulder, gathers
Momentum and velocity as it advances
Deep into dark valley of time
I do not write for my country for she
Considers poetry a pastime, not a profession.

Premium Member Penny For Your Thoughts

I summarized the query that befits you
A kingdom you will never inherit
You bring a thought to mine ears
And I chose to offer a penny for it

A kingdom you will never inherit
A breakdown of the finest wears
And I chose to offer a penny for it
Pleasure for each moment you produce

A breakdown of the finest wears
You cannot bring a false word to me
Pleasure for each moment you produce
A stone faced person you have become

You cannot bring a false word to me
You bring a thought to mine ears
A stone faced person you have become
I summarized the query that befits you

Proof

According to the experts and the scholars,
With all their diplomas and research dollars,
Have summarized that God does not exist,
There is no proof, it's no use to resist.

No way was man created in just one day,
This is what all their studies say.
Adam did not live, or any ancient apostles,
For it can't be proven with any found fossils.

The world wasn't destroyed by any great flood,
Because the Ark can't be found in the mud.
Don't trust the ruins of Jericho that were found,
It could be any old wall that was laying around.

Man evolved is what they want you to think,
But they have yet to find the missing link.
Scientist want your beliefs to be bartered,
And forget all the Saints who were martyred.

They work hard to make it a rule,
Not to speak of our God at school.
However, no matter how hard they try,
Nobody can make my God die.

We need no proof of the cross,
It is a great gain, not a loss.
The proof I need is in my heart,
I know God made it all start.
If you need proof take a look,
In the Bible, God’s mighty handbook.

Premium Member Sunset

Like a meteor in slow motion, she begins her descent to the abyss below the horizon from which she emerged at sunrise.

As she descends her strength slowly decreases, but her glory does not abate.
About an hour before she disappears from view, she again plays her tantalizing game. Descending slowly, like an aircraft touching down on a runway.

She gives the impression that she does not want to exit the stage. 
As she nears the horizon, she splashes a dazzling display of colors on the canvass of the sky. The palette of colors and variety of patterns and scenes created by the light and the clouds is as mesmerizing as they were at sunrise.

Finally, this golden ball of fire touches down on the runway of the horizon, resplendent in her glory, turning the horizon to a brilliant orange, burnished bronze and a variety of shades of red and gold all mixed together.

As she sinks below the horizon, she seems to be playing a game of hide and seek as the dark clouds of evening creep over her. 

Then suddenly, she is gone, but not without a trace, for her afterglow remains for quite a while after sunset. 

Eventually the darkness of night prevails and we are left with only the memories of another beautiful sunset.

Your life and mine are mirrored by the sun, summarized as it is, as SUNRISE and SUNSET.

It is our Creator's plan that just like the sun, we should leave beautiful memories for loved ones, when our days are done.

So trust in the Lord with all of your heart and allow Him to direct your path.
Then when at last, your journey ends, you like the sun will leave the afterglow of a life service to God and your fellowmen.
