Best Uncommon Poems

My heart scans 
for a familiar face 
through throngs
of strangers 
as they scatter 
pell mell 
around me 
eager shoppers 
casing brightly lit 
  sale stuffed store fronts 
while seduced
by the siren song of fresh coffee  
coupled  with 
sticky sweet  cinnamon buns 
suddenly 
the bitter fact
swallows  me
whole again
you no longer reside
anywhere
outside
of  my...

Once there was a man called John Marcose,
Says reproducing “off springs”, life’s purpose.
No fusion, without sexual activity?
Yeah, with ultimate sexual activity?
Bloody, intense sexual activity? Try glucose!...

Nature
My eyes sip the lemon sea
I inhale its salty spice
and the sugar sweet bouquet of wild roses
I taste the juicy sunset orange
and the mist of farewell tears chills my heart
I touch the silk purple coverlet clouds
and smooth them over restive waves.
I listen to the pulse...

When writing righting poetry proceed with the following corporeal caution:

assimilate before u ass assume

imagine before u initiate

we soared over clouds
didn't dare look below
capricious emotions
could wither or grow

you played your guitar
i liked what i heard
but to finish your song
you needed my word

   i'm low man on the totem pole
   and you're my belle of rock and roll

UNCOMMON
By: William S. Labtis

When would uncommon be a common?
Or vice versa, a common be an uncommon?

Common* as we know as those belonging
   to two or more;
Shared by all alike; one pertaining
   to a community as a whole.
While conversely, uncommon as not

The bookstore door

startles open with

a man's hearty hand

and sincere smile 

landing upon

this skirted lady, 

bashful to be 

coddled, but

undoubtedly 

wanting it.

Mirrored cheeks widen  

like the open door

with hearts extending.

Thanks is verbalized

and humbly

appreciated.

He tilts his top hat

and I am flattered

by the flirt

of uncommon

courtesy.

Our physical world that we travel upon,
    Showers our senses with volumes to understand.
        Yet there's a wide range of comprehension,
            That often tests...

Uncommon Man

hard hat 
lunch bucket
high steel walker
at home where eagles soar.

mole, in pits and holes
deep, dark cracking stone
labyrinth’s glitter.

salt stained, rocking seas
tread her whims
for silver glint glimmer.

nine to five, three shift
two shift
blue denim Atlas
balances the World.

vilified, patronized
then dehumanized
into work units
commerce engine
used up, spat out
but they...

to succeed at something, anything is quite a rare feat
failure is a more common outcome, defeat, but lessons are learned
so if you want to get ahead in the world court failure

I was hoping FEAT...

So what do you say we fall in love again,
Just like we did when we first met?
I'll hold your hand to the end and back,
And make our love on it this time set.

Things we did to each other,
We both know we regret.
Be able to take...

Uncommon Sense 

Uncommon sense comes to the fore,
Secretly telling us what lies in store.

Memory can be misplaced;
Destiny must surely be faced.
Fame vanishes into thin air;
Undue longing leads to despair.

Live, but never regret;
Forgive, but never forget.
Repent, but have no remorse;
Guilt sets the mind off course.

Loneliness right...

I am nothing and I am common
Does doing something new means a difference?
Becoming well known and uncommon
Perhaps an only lifetime were meant for deterrence

If we climb we will fall
No going about any other way
Why do we ask for more?
Is it because... we cannot find the...

In the hearts of men I dwell as the Holy Bible 
I am uncommon...
