Best Tiberius Poems

A little alliteration by a long shot speaks so loud.
Metaphors muddle my mind
And silly similes stymie the sentence.
A terrible trope takes too much of my time
g Tiberius is my tag and title
My nom de plume is a personal platitude personified
Better *****es badger me with their...

"They Say Mushrooms Grow Best in the Dark" 

Winter 
arrived after
The Darkness 

blew in 
with its boiling 
black clouds.

they say mushrooms 
grow best in the dark.
we hid underground.

eventually
we crawled out 
from the cracks

like bugs 
to ash, the fallen
bones of dust.

we breathed 
in the 
blow back.

I

Truly how blessed are we not to bow to the barbaric chivalry
Of emperors and kings’  in raging insanity
Historical madness runs in the house of Caesars

Considered great, ruler of lands and seas
The house of Caesar wrought constant battles and
Incestuous orgies
Leprous Tiberius crucified thousands under his...

Wobbly I stood and wobbly I remain -

The sole  of my Soul untested and untried

Not trusting the firmament on which its stability stands.

So I must reach.




For a kind hand, a rock to assuage my rocky start.

Euphoria washes over me and I am utterly awed...

Gentle disguise and decorated smiles
Living pictures
numerous seeking reliefs

Silhouettes on the hall of fame
Red carpets
Royal blood seal of mystery
Kings and queens congratulation
The new highway
Its written
Alley of pain


Spieling blood on presidential suite
Drawing letters Using Tiberius canvas
Shadows of darken humanity scream in pain
A glass of red wine year...

When Simba roars,
his den of lions go cheetah white lie 
crouching tiger kill for him
His regal, imperial mane
flows on his neck
like a Roman waving flag
Simba paws walk on
sycophant legion fealty
He demands servile porcelain alabaster loyalty,
as he sits on 
an ivory throne 
of greed nobility

King of...

Caught in a Cats-hat
 
You obviously admire the bestiality of a canine,
Hence , you probably find me rather asinine
And the confident swagger of a *****-cat
Is grossly superior to the airs of this pretensive plutocrat.
 
So you will , alas, never be my concubine,
Due to my...

She slept in a mammoth fireball throughout the night-
her enemies thought they had got rid of Kalisi,
daughter of Tiberius - the King and rider of dragons,
who died in a battle.
Her dress and sandals were burnt,
but not her body – long, blond hair, blue eyes,
flawless skin,...

Scrambling across my basin sink

               What is it that you must think.

               Of this unnatural habitat

On sunny days walk beneath the aesthetic pine trees
that gently undulate in the tepid Roman breeze,
their image is reflected in the Tiberius' flowing water;
majestic is the Colosseum, the mighty power of Rome,
it has withstood time, wars, earthquakes, and pillage...
stand in front of it and reimagine...

The storm of the decade
The news declared.
Snow fall was heavy and deep.
Schools closed their doors
And the snow beckoned me. 

There is such a beauty 
When the world first turns white.
Snow on the branches 
Drifts deep and high.
The world stops its chaos
and breathes a peaceful sigh.

Full engines ahead
strap on the boots
Captain Kirk on the microphone 
rudeboy knows how to dress in the fine-(butt) suits

He's got a fine tan shirt
with an emblem on the chest
Captain of the starship crew
passes the test

All the interstellar girls all love him the best
When Capt. Kirk...
