Best Unexciting Poems

THE PENGUIN

Way down south on a continent frozen
The penguin a tough life has chosen
Though you’d think he’d be coy
Like a super-cool playboy
You’ll find him out preening and posin’

With movement on foot unexciting
He shuffles along then goes sliding
Though on land a slow coach
In depart or approach
In...

Stillness with movement,
Silence but loud.
Darkness and cold,
enclosed but wide open.

I remember my life 
as an empty classroom.
Everyday was still and slow,
but it passed fast and unexciting.
I was alone in my pain, 
loud but unheard.
I could not speak my feelings,
for no one seemed to care.
I cried...

Dad´s Army 

On the Milky Way a black cloud appeared,
not dark as the night, but as a whole year
of winter nights put together and blended  
with stygian thoughts of a suicidal dictator.
Then slowly the cloud began to dissipate,
became whispery as Fidel Castro´s beard. ...

Why do I write everything?
Always writing, always, always, incessantly,
Details about my small little life---
A life that is nearly always unexciting---
Filling pages, wasting paper and memory space.
Why do I write everything?
For a while, I thought that it was
So I could look back, and understand
Myself;
And this may...

The sex was unexciting as it was unimportant

Like the silk red knickers

That didn’t really define her

Or the cross chained around her neck

That didn’t protect her

He sensed she was more broken than him

Strange how broken people come together

Awkward pieces never quite fitting

Just clinging on

He felt this...

Stress is stressful. It stresses me out to be stressed.
It is distressing when we go through so much stress.
I wonder what life would be like with no stress-
Dead, asleep, dull, unexciting. Life is stressful.
We love life, so we must love stress, right? 
It is a...

The world is full of the things we see
But more than these are the things unseen,
An example is the wind that sweeps rain to us
And the lust that leads to things obscene.

The faith that believers so much praise
Is a thing that they neither can see...

(alternate title: days of yore bubba's zayda
flush with buggy boo horse sense).

Norristown City Hall police person
informed yours truly
on September 15th, 2020
mine automotive driver license expired,
thus between January 13th 2019
and September 17th, 2020
I drove automobile,
(whether borrowed or owned)
without vehicular infraction.

Prevarication about me getting arrested absent bail
and...

I was reclining upon soft pillows, in my spacious window seat,
Savoring pretty views and sunshine, while I nibbled on a treat.

Alternately I read my novel, and gazed on the tranquil scene, 
As one gazes at blue sky clouds, to ponder why they're cream!

Though content in...

A winter’s walk may sound cold and unexciting.
Would you believe it can be so warm and inviting?
Indeed the beauty that is seen can warm you inside.
Not just the bright scene of snow, bringing pride.
Take the fresh smells that surround season’s glory.
Each step that you take...

ALICE  MEETS  ULYSSES


On a string up in the sky  her activity was  flying a  cat. 
She just wouldn’t say, the  lips were sealed,
Up there with ceiling wax.  She said
I don’t  reveal secrets,   don’t  let...

Hackers

Systems’ dare-devil invaders
And secret passwords discoverers:
Into the privacy of computers intruding,
Their mouse masterfully clicking
And their sleeping documents awaking,
With treasured, classified files
Going unauthorized miles!

Jumpers at an opening door,
With throat –slitting knives
Rather than keepers of either hand under the jaw
And risking careless forfeiture of their own lives!


Every...

Life. I feel like I have no life. No energy fills up inside me.

Out of touch. I feel out of touch when the feeling to drink doesn't consume me.

Sucky. I feel like I suck when I am in my room when everybody else is getting...

REDEMPTION FOR SOMETHING
THAT MEANS SOMETHING
ONLY TO THOSE WHO ARE INVOLVED
BOWING BEFORE MEN WHO
WISH YOU TO SEE THEM AS SUPERIOR
WHETHER YOU ARE BETTER OF BEST
BEYOND THE FEATS OF STRENGTHS
BEYOND THE RECOGNITION OF
A PAST THAT MADE YOU GREAT
THEY THOUGHT HIM BEATABLE
THEY REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE
HIS LUSTER
THEY SPOKE OF...

Despite vanilla's subtle sweet and unique exquisiteness
it's encumbered by being considered plain basic and unexciting.
It's seen as being neutral, insipid in need of embellishment
It's a blank soft white canvas needing to be added to.
But in essence, the vanilla bean seed
has a sweet, creamy, sweet and...
