Best Superficial Poems

  O river of moon roses
                ferry me home....
I weep in quivering quiescence 
      like a weathered wild petal~ 
  healing and hurting
            in my p o e t i c...

why do we 
still assume that whispered diamond dialects
delicate and sheer
aren't scripted with blades 
that curdle blood-stained musings
as summer symphonies scorch ebony skin
tattooed with dark and deep sinister sonnets
sewn from superficial scarlet syllables 
that emanate rusted mahogany hues

so listen to the mulberry metaphors
that rain with...

Trump and Approach Are Superficial

Started at beginning and point that is initial,
His approach and appearance are superficial;
Trouble up stirred,
With each word;
Statements Trump made had been prejudicial.

for a BA in Psychology also but
declared it to...

My physical lusts each and every cut, rip, and peck on his body my intellectual craves his thoughts, opinions, and charisma, my emotional wants to laugh, cry, and embrace his deepest feelings. Yet my emotional abundance does not captivate him, my intellectual determination does not...

Superficial Smiles by Shane Cogan

A trapped house can be worse than a prison
Cell doors open daily, a sealed house door never
Guards who snarl or smile is a guard forever
They also torture, but you found your own prism
Selected friends are such a treasure
Deselect those friends at...

Don't stand too close
I have something to hide
Makeup and lotion masks the wrinkles
on a good day, high moisture

Appreciate an antique from afar
Like a great watercolor
the fine scratches and colors
blend by the eye at a distance.

Don't stand too close
Don't enter my reality....

Never known such an obedient dog
Our Annie, understands our human dialogue
We often have to tell her
“Stop biting”, she concurs
The flesh wounds are usually superficial, thank God

I know you think I'm superficial...
no it's ok lets not pretend.
You chocolate coat your intended missles
and you are not my friend.

I hear your snide comments
that I'm showing too much skin,
acting warm just to take off another layer
and I'm not as pretty as I think I...

I look at people everyday,
And I never see them. 
Most of them. 
Sometimes when I'm alone
I wonder, where these people flow. 
I can only remember faces at times. 
Beings in motion. 
But they're so much more.
They're more than their names,
their color, and their looks.
They have...

I'm visualizing! I am seeing objects
Mesmerized - my hypnotic state I appeal
Astounding! My pupils dilate at the vivid personality
The dreams I dream. They are not real
Night after night, sleeping with the twilight
It's extreme - frequently I see spirits
I am with the dead , halos on...

A poetic writing challenge between Mother and son,
Jordan Adorno (search for this poet to read poem of the same title)

Charming the masses with only your smile.
You can captivate a woman's soul just by gazing into her eyes
giving your best performance, studying your lines, but still...

When we walked through the park that May
            I began to think that we would
talk about the weather and say
the shallow things we thought we should

Smile while you can, with every given day.
Under this beautiful sky is your own paradise.
Nature welcomes you when you appreciate yourself.
Reach the top of your "Aura", don't fall into the emptiness.
Ignore the superficial and the bad vibrations.
Sacrifice your life squeezing the best of you.
Earth is...
