Best Temperament Poems


Inherent Temperament

Don't be so tortured, passion.

Don't be so metal rimmed in servitude
to all that's over the top and brimming with enigma's breath
Don't be the pump of blood adrenaline
on all the days one might have called
the moon out on her day of death.

Don't be so riddled, passion.

Don't be so all elusively inclined
to all that want a taste of you with grasping hands
Don't be the hide to seek tonight
in all this dark when even stars
grow quaint in the ignite of their demands.

Don't be so waning, passion.

Don't whisk the room in tenderness
past all the sense of first encounter's countenance
Don't rinse the obligated sigh
in love's delight and broken breath
when all we want is permanence.

Don't be so quiet, passion.

Don't leave us here with metal lips
to kiss desire in last good bye's and marriage vows
Don't rinse your hands of us tonight
as we live on adrenaline 
and bated tongues immerse you even now...

Premium Member Prose Poem Temperament

No holding back,keep on keeping on before the well runs dry.a persistence to say something I feel is right. Inclinations and ideals that meet in perfect harmony, form 7 inner sounds.Pulled up from what is above and contemplate the landscape of my imagination,to show but not tell.Then stimulate the underlying unsaid enigma, this poignant pause, spontaneous and satisfying reveals the beauty of our whole being.Having lit our dreams,this solitary approach ,the freedom to be alone enhances talent, allows free expression of temperament

Premium Member Temperament

Telling body expressions
Emanating moods and feelings
Management of reactions to situations
Physical responses to stimulators
Evolving habits in new environments
Rights and wrongs in personal display
Attitudes and attributes in constant formation
Major expressed psychology attached to mentality
Engrossed or evolving character and ideology
Nurturing all in growth, as in
Totality, one’s identity is formed.


Temperament

Yellow
Sun beaming hot
Irrational thoughts jar
Short tempers flare into raging
Angry words accompany threatening fists
A cool-down period is needed
Bystander stops the fight
Aware the man's
Yellow

Premium Member Valour Builds Temperament

Decisions, decisions
So much to assess, 
So many pitfalls, fear is ubiquitous

What if you open the wrong door?
What if you don’t like what you discover?
Then you just deal with the consequences, 
if you leave it close, you will always wonder…

So be bold and open that door
it may augment you and build your character
either way, you’re the winner

because you had the valor
to face the unknown
and the backbone, to face your demons…

Temperament of Knowledge

buliding with greatness
following with easiness


The Human Temperament and Voyage Poem

Radical, peace and spontaneity bonds together like a wind gusting across an ocean. It's who we are as complex human beings. It's who we endeavor to be as our own unique being.

Often present glimpses of our lives give us little indication to where we are actually going; so amid the complexities, allow your sails to lead you far and wide.

Premium Member Youth and Elder Temperament

Young man you don't listen, you don't listen
Stop your fishing, you're not fishing just fidgeting
Mind your matters it does matter if you want to live long obey your parents
Old man stops your nagging I'm not standing for what you say
I do not believe yet I will be receiving all the money and material things
Yeah! old man that will be coming my way yeah?
And I ain't believing that I'll be receiving a punishment from the maker
Young man you'll be receiving that of what you're dishing out
You'll be given all that you've been giving that of your choice
I am just a relic I am just upset by the major decisions your tone in your voice
Keep you in mind  that you can't control time and that I am who you wanna be
So as long as you live remember your peers won't keep you only God will
Mind your manners it does matter if you wanna live long in this life
You have to believe in less in receiving your need to believe in Christ
And when you are done in this life with your free will and choice
You represent
No, minded manners disobedient to laws, rules God's commandments
You'll sit and be REMINDED OF THOSE SIMPLE

Premium Member Temperament Difference

It came into my mind of long ago
How the clothesline held diapers in a row
When on those very cold days of winter
Those diapers dried on folding wooden dryer
Hanging over that ancient floor furnace
While children scattered toys skillfully
Experts were they at their fun time of play
Now there is no very ancient furnace
The children no longer play on the floor
They have gone their very separate ways
Different each in personality
Temperament difference now plainly seen

Premium Member April

When April comes
she will do as she pleases
concerning snow or gentle breezes
as for her mood no one can say
she's not as calm as her sister May

Premium Member Poets Are Known For Temperament

Poems have long been written
for rebuttal and dissent
By those who have been smitten
who wish to lament,
Poets are known for temperament
like all creative kinds
Always given to intense argument
with those of differing minds,
Or differing views, if you choose,
free speech is highly prized
The most eloquent won’t likely lose
but may be rather surprised.

TEMPERAMENT
influential
  crosstalk
expressed

a tinkering
  with feelings
in
troubled
 &
  exhausting
circumstances

encouraging questions
& answers
bringing
 an energetic
new resonance
into
 strange
  images
disintegrating
 beyond
  the sea
moonlight
into
ironic places

  an unpunctuated
reverie
such
a disparate
  experience
chaotic
fragmentary
forming a
 new
  wholeness

NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived

You have your Grampa's eyes.
You've got his easy smile and mannerisms.
You radiate contagious good humour.

Premium Member Likened to Lichens

It was likely lichen's provided the fuel
Evolutionarily leading to mortal and mule	
They worked with the fungus that brung us to fore
Elevating our thought to what we thought was more 
Than what had preceded, receded and left
We then reseeding, believing the best
It was what our creation and station now made
Us to invent cultivation and blade
Use in one allows us to grow strong and tall
The other decides what will stand, or will fall
It's best in the harvest when feeding us all
The test is the anger that comes with the Fall
