Best Talent Poems

Sang like a whippoorwill, up high on a hill
   Played trumpet like Satchmo, with panache and skill

While doing my daily internet loop
I read some poems at Poetry Soup
Some souls were bared

Notable skills
From gifted quills
Flocking together like birds of a feather

Whether mundane or totally bizarre
Through words they...

The mellow chords of a cello draw tears
as its bow vibrates a combo of strings.
For when that sound found its way to my ears,
it tore my heart apart and clipped my wings.

The violin, akin to the fiddle, 
carries both cheers and fears within its pitch.
And,...

Talent is when you know how to do something 
without any understanding of why or how you do it
Talent is automatic, talent is enthusiasm, talent is pure love of doing

She comes in all shapes and sizes
She falls out of the sky 
She tweaks your nose
She...

She never knew she had them
that the basket had been placed
upon her past and future
by the color of her face

He gazed upon the sunrise
at the shadows walking thin
entering the schoolhouse
but they wouldn’t let him in

She had no shoes – no fancy dress
could not read the...

God gave me talents and abilities to use!
The love he blessed me with.  I wouldn’t refuse!

I wanted to use what was given.  I really did!
I had no idea this would change how I live!

I spoke to the Lord with a heart felt confession.

The hard work in the room is always goes to beat the talent guy, who doesn't work hard .!
In the end maybe not every time, but in the end HARD WORK WINS..!

Talent doesn't guarantee you anything in this world..!
The world is riddled with ''smart'' ...

if I had only
one message to leave
it would be
to love yourself enough
and in such a way
to make the most
of your many talents
to pursue
your every dream

if I had only
one gift to leave you
it would be a magical cloak
to protect your heart and soul
from all disparaging negativity

Hey Mister Tom Cunningham,
You are definitely the man,
Your poetic talents reaching far,
Your taste buds tantalized by a
Marmite jar!...

sun, your brushstrokes
in golden honey cloak; 
pencil, brush, chalk,
or charcoal all faux

Let's look to the land of Legerdemain
locale with surprises by sleight-of-hand.
Cards, coins, magic wands tax one's eyes and brain;
absorbed, we watch street performers grandstand.
Legerdemain - skullduggery pre-planned,

True talent of prestidigitation 
would never...

Some people are bored.
I am not.
Some people live the same day every day.
I don’t.
Some people never change their opinions.
I do.
Some people have not picked up a book since high school or college.
I am not one of those.
Some people do not believe in life-long learning.
I do.
Some...
