Best Trophies Poems

Most of my life I’ve tried to hide scars because they were ugly reminders of things I didn’t want to think about. And a lot of those scars were invisible to the naked eye. A human couldn’t  see these are scars, similar to deep...

No, are not in any contest found.
It is your comments to my poetry,
that to my heart are bound.

No one comment is better than 
another.
For to me, when you comment,
you are automatically my sister
or my brother!

I see great poets here, lying dead
with sixty reads.
Does it take that...

Let your tears of joy fall!

They are a poet's soul's rushing waterfall.

If a great poet, you feel more more than most.

Your desire for mediocre poetry is not your thirst.

Of fearless, true,reality in poetry is your infinite search!

You write for the sheer love you have for your artistry,

Realizing completion~you...

Halfway through a laugh
and I get flashbacks
of my black past
that always haunts me
I see it everywhere
even on me
I’m all full of scars
my psyche and body
they’re everywhere
they became too hard
to cover
scars from a number
of wars and battles
cheaters and backstabbers

But today
I look at those scars differently
I see...

Virtual trophies (wife for I)... 

offered, husbanded, and collected 
when winning solitaire
Nothing beats that exaltant rush of adrenaline
watching the computer generated cards
automatically routed 
to their respective suite (spot)
(after they get turned face value up)
generates countenance to evince a grin.

This heart felt diamond in the rough
gamboling...

there are stealth
sound waves which whisper
"all efforts are in vain"

misinterpreted parts
of a sore whole
are only vaguely seen

just a shape shifting action
figure fighting empty causes
in essence fighting self

determination
runs a treadmill to some
goal born in a caste

finding hope
is wedding a spouse
for an indefinite amount of time

reach for...

Night tail of the dark leave in light hues
unfolding the tar-mar black sky of the pitch.
When the light carries away the darkness. 
Between us, night fades into the distance. 

And the Sun glows bigger and brighter.
Measuring the ratio of time everywhere.
Emptying atmosphere thinner than air.
Wining...

“ Now this I know: The LORD gives victory to his anointed. He answers him   from his heavenly sanctuary with the victorious power of his right hand.”  Psa 20:6 NIV

We are His trophies of victory—
Saved by the blood of the Lamb;
Comforted and...

Champion of life,

Accolades for someone else,

Gaiety kids bubbling laughter in scarlet delighT
Ladened with trophies of sparkling rusted coppeR
Observing the bounteous man who'd vanished long agO
Rivers of innocence flood the abandoned summer camP
Inside his heart only the old man knows the trutH
Onlooking little kids remind him of his grandson's origamI
Uplifting his...

No reason to impress others....
They don't care a rip!
It is their trophy they want to win.
As if that was what was poetry was all about.
Simply to impress, and block all others out?

You tell me!
I am at a loss..........why not help other
poets, rather than you be...

Nine little trophies, all in a line
Polished, statuesque, and radiant
Reflecting the feats that I call mine

Standing together, a golden shrine
To the person I yearned to become
To the person I hoped to define

Confining myself is asinine
I am more than my accomplishments
Time to move on from the...

Don’t suppose the victory was yours alone
The laurels you wear proudly a solo affair,
For in you are the talents of your ancestors
Much teaching from others residing there

The encouragement of your loving peers
Urging applause you received along the way
Those who trained you and buoyed you up
Who...

Ever wonder what difference it might make
To relinquish a trophy for someone else's sake
Who needs a win in their life right then
When you have a history of getting the win?

Ever wonder what difference it might make
To give up what would be easy to take
To realize...
