Best Talentless Poems


Write Your Own
The talentless, envious, plagiarist’s dream
Was to find someone’s ‘Works’ on a shelf or a beam
In a Pub, in a folder, alone and ignored
As the author lay slumped and as drunk as a lord

Stealthily taking those coveted sheets
He rushes off home via dimly lit streets
When his...

Had It Up To Here
I've had it up to here with rappers saying they have more bars than a prison
I'm sick of celebrities saying they're a bigger star than anything in the solar system
I'm tired of rappers saying their car is upset because the roof is missing
I no longer...

HOW   TO   ALIGN   A    FINE    LINE  


Who can resist the pull of such a competition
Where  the rules are so clear,
But the topic is like sex in the 60s revolution: 
Filled with...

Wasted Talent
Talent can no more be bought

Than can be taught

As talent is a force of nature

Wanted: Slinger of Mirrors
Wanted: Slinger of Mirrors,

Tessellating lungs of fulcrum
Wading into scorn’s yellow Spring pond
We are flying to the airway Of. I hunger for our old hunger. 
We dealt our Hand and every Star
Only one pond my reflection’s gunning donned
To see bullets’ sound is bedlam

Every pothole in my...

Old and New
The typewritter the empty page.
Time has forgotten you.
As we worship the talentless  in a foreign age.

Cheap ****  and a old lush.
Poddle skirts and a highschool crush.

Wornout jeans and a no longer spoke about bands patch.
Sneaking out the window .
Unlocking that old gates latch.

Forbidden...

Traitors
I'm a portrait of misplaced trust and forced hatred 
after false friendships escaped true tracing 
through good faith and naive youthful grace
believing no way would close mates be two faced 
but hey when you struggle colours change 
in failure they tailor a taste to upstage...

Subliminal Singularity
Drama invoked karma strangulating serenity. Singularity of unsurprised reason, such a wasted manufacturer to tinker and tether the nature of our society. In your world of opulent polished weaponry and wheel spinning rubber, you exchange the price of moral greed with perishing hunger souls. Controversy...

Detached
USELESS RECIPROCITY 
POISONOUS INSECURITY 
¿ 
YOU KILL ME 
DAY IN AND OUT 

AND BLAME ME 
FILL MY HEAD WITH DOUBTS

SUCUBUS LOVER 
I SEE THE TRUTH

LEAVE ME ALONE 
PSYCHIC VAMPIRE 
YOUR PLAYING ME NO MORE

ALL HOLLOW TO DISCOVER 
WHATS MINE...

Controversial/Haphaestus
Scorned and scorched by the flames of the sun
Burnt by hell’s fire, her reign’s begun
I tremble with fear of the chosen one
Ballsy, cocky, arrogance well hung
This talentless slander seems to be fun
(k)No(W) judgment or guilt, excuse the pun
But if the shoe fits, wear it and...

Reaping Short Terms Benefits
Reaping short terms benefits...

before marital savings bond matured
as a then quinquagenarian.

Courtesy gerontologists medical practitioners

Linkedin with longevity loosely translates
to resurgent libido spurring
older folks predilection
to participate in sexual intimacy.

Yanny Or Laurel
You care about the Kardashian's and what celebrities are dating on Valentines
I care about Right and Hoping for the people of Palestine 
I'm seeing people argue over what name they hear on a recording
It doesn't matter if you hear Laurel or Yanny because it's really...

Kirky
were you lucky enough to catch
this no-thumbed, homophobic hatemonger,
who graced televisions for a split second years ago,
blathering on piers morgan last night?
did ya get to see him state for the record
just how bigoted one idiot can be?
revealing to us all exactly where he

84 Degrees and Sunny
Sunglasses shield my eyes so I don’t have to look directly at the sun
Which is the most beautiful thing
All I want to see is beauty but I put a barrier in between 
My room shields my body from the sun
It gives you cancer anyway
But when...
