Best Unaddressed Poems

A Picture Of Oneself contains not too much to tell,
Except the package showing that in which they dwell.
This is the only purpose a picture has and does,
Telling nothing about the person who is or was.

A Picture Of Oneself shows nothing that's inside.
Who is the real...

Coach Dad

It is a magic time when a child ventures
Into the world, spreading wings,
Beginning the oft painful process
of moving from the nest to the sky.

And it is a fragile time, where first experiences
Weigh heavily on shaping the direction
In which young life begins to move
And often...

Even in darkness,
when a moonless sky
preaches fear from a pulpit of shadows
pointing elongated fingers…

when walls crumble 
into a rubble strewn alleyway
and graffiti issues spray paint threats
on frantic facades dripping sabotage…

and kindness remains 
hidden away in sealed envelopes,
unaddressed and undelivered,
discarded in bundles of false accusations

Her beauty...

We have grown to love has shifted face 
brothers and sisters lost in all that is valued 
under human reality chains shape shifting

Firstly murder has become a tipping point on our scales 
meaningless news edited by wheasels to alter opinions set 
incorrectly twisted falsehoods aired...

statistics say they're checking out at twenty two per day
closure seekers on their final quest
hollow men who don't have time to slowly fade away

side by side they've occupied the chairs of the V. A.
trying pills in hopes of filling hollows in their chest
statistics say they're...

Awakening the Dream
             by Odin Roark

Even in a dream
A poet’s page
Starts blank

Restlessly
The inscrutable pen hovers 
Awareness preparing absorption
Like a dry valley of nature
Awaiting tributaries to ripple convergence
A lake to be 
Remaining patient

Unaddressed questions...

No Way Out
By Rick Rucker

As recently as a year ago,
I knew not, which way to go,

From financial ruin, to likely cancer,
I could not seem to forge an answer,

I went to work, all depressed,
My problems, largely unaddressed,

My problems seemed to overwhelm,
I could not seem to grasp...

My folks said I have a gold butterfly,
That lives within  till the day I die
To  keep me safe from all adventures made;
And guide my walkways as these fingers prayed.

But while I grew in the movement of time
My paths escaped me  like splatters...

I’m feeling that feeling
I felt in the beginning 
Times flying by 
my minds still spinning
I think I’m losing ground
And my patience is thinning
Getting tangled up in 
the webs Life’s spinning 
Further from where I’ve been 
But no closer to winning 
It’s the bottom of the...

To the forgotten and unknowns
It's for you I write this poem

In two hundred years this will be me and you
They'll be no one left who we ever knew

To all the ones who lived long ago
It's to you, for our lives, we owe

You paved the the...

When tangled hope yields to the sadness,
That sweeps like madness in a perigee tide 
My soul silently abandons redress

Steady sun sings struggles of my weakness
Its rays chide that the light cannot abide
When tangled hope yields to the sadness

Thick sorrow of humanity manifests
Releasing its turmoil within...

A vivid memory of childhood, overall one of the best
Running to the TV, brimming with excitement and anticipation
Waiting to find out, what will be today’s quest
I lived for the man who taught us integrity, honor, and trust
You could easily say I was beyond being obsessed
I...

I have endlessly miss us in past best;
Time has eaten up my distant worry,
Do not grow weary of my silly quest.

You miss it too like how dream's forte arrest,
Eyes blur pictures to fulfilling scurry,
I have endlessly miss us in past best.

We had pretended enough unaddressed:
