Best Tramples Poems
Crucified ClownBlue velvet caged
Behind rusty bars.
Soul within chars.
Fervent flames raged.
Mighty door creaked
Black-veiled phantoms
Chanting the anthems
Thus the dusts freaked.
All the phantoms read
The holy pages.
The pious sages
For repentance plead.
Life’s last drops
Time’s burning tears.
Soaked deep in fears,
Crushed by crops,
The soul crumples.
Satan’s oracle
Tempting manacle
On heart tramples.
Towers of flesh
Drag my weary...

The LeashSomething is happening there now
I know it, I can hear the lane full
Of children's voices, the lowing cow
Tramples on the peanut hull,
But not that, not that common routine
And not the buckets sitting still
On the kottas, nor Lawford in the ravine
And his cart rumbling up the...

I Am a TreeI was hoping for just a caress or maybe a stroke
but all I got was noises, smoke, and restless rebuff
I was wishing for a tree hugger who would
place their arms around me and love me
but all I got was misaligned...

Shadow and LightHer being hangs on two faces of her mind,
one overlooking the essentials and joy of life
as those half-blind eyes reflect what she sees…
is it that Shadow of obsession or power’s lure
where temptation brews her world,
reeling loosely into a charcoaled hole
and onward through the never...

Trust, MistrustNew friendships form and spawn a playful child
fingers of innocence explore the bond
each passing day it grows, entranced, beguiled
wide-eyed it sees the now but not beyond.
To freely give, thinking only the best,
be generous in mind and heart and soul,
welcomes with open arms and bares it's...

The State of the Kingdom Address Part 1Many are doing what they want to do,
Saying what they want to say.
Simply playing life's game the way,
They think it ought to be played.
Then they have the audacity,
To want God to bless them beyond,
The capacity of them handling.
But the things that God gave them,
They are...

Femi Ibim Sonnet 11-16-2012Flirting with the one labeled love,
Eager to please her sense of sight,
Making sure that I get it right,
In case push ever comes to shove.
Inhibitions fall from above,
Beyond limitations of night,
Intoxicated by the light
Meant to fit moments like a glove.
Sonnets set the scene for samples
Of some...

Italian Sonnet
The DesertMy rampant feet crush the sand.
Feeling the suppleness of the land.
Throwing light on the ocean of desert
Looking for help; hoping to revert.
My voice returns finding no one in the distance
A bird, an insect and not even a shred of existence
Just then the moon shows it...

Undeserving (For Trudy's Hopelessly Devoted Contest)She is the most demanding cat who ever shared my home.
She stares at me so balefully till I do what she wants,
And yet I love her more than any other cat I’ve owned.
She tramples on my feelings as she tramples on my plants
Then stalks...

Fancy Menhostility snaps the nerves
taut from life in tiny boxes
your neighbor prances
naked
through the hall
and brags about her fancy men
attracted to her beautiful, black body
they pay
her rent
her groceries
everything she needs
she tramples them
orders them to hand over their wallets
they do
while she sinks into her coffin
of dependence on handouts...

In Fairness To JackalsYou are a jackal dripping
A childish cotton candy concoction
From your canine teeth
Though that may be unfair to jackals
Less clever and more desperate,
You are more like a hyena
It's just that it sounds like "cackle" which reminds me of you
Which is how I...

The Black CrossI SPOT a lofty black cross
Standing conceitedly on a rock-strewn mount,
Where nothing akin to a tree can be seen,
Murky clouds hovering over it,
It is on this cross that she will
Sacrifice me for the sake of love
I OBSERVE dry as a bone grass,
That left chasing precious...

it heals a winter's damaged heart
Buds peddle new beauty as trees poke
roots from defrosted ground
Barn swallows swoop in the cool...
