Best Unimpressive Poems


Spider In the Kitchen Sink
A plain beige kitchen. LED lights are lined along the top of the cabinets. Bright red bar stools line up next to the breakfast bar. The only flash of color. An old gas stove and oven, stained with black from past misuse. A sink in...

The Will To Win
The will to win will ebb and flow throughout our lifetime.

Where the will to win settles is determined by the purity of the heart and mind.

The will to win can be compelling, stout, and awesome as a redwood tree.

The will to win can be insignificant...

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 4
March 18-27

This time I woke, 
He was staring readily,
Smiling, plotting steadily

I lifted my body and gently gazed at his grotesque beauty
He was always at his best in thought…

“You look ravishing…” He began. 
“Mouth-parched, crusty-eyed, hair frazzled-
The true shock of splendor, right here!
And my, I thought...

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry



Beauty Within Words
Seated alone; a room full of blank and emotionless faces. 
The murmur on with unimpressive tones. Failing their attempts at using alliteration, morphemes, to name just a few. How can the educated, lack the simplest of appreciation?  Life's little gifts, such as poetic beauty...

Ode To the Blessed Rebekah
On Mother's Day.
That Sabbath Day, I put flame to eight candles and knelt down to pray.

I humble myself with fasting to intensify my communication with God who is our all and all.
During that spiritual and very significant time of the morning, I gave our powerful...

Government and Man
Ask the government if you can die.
Frighten them at most.
Those who'd give you answers then
would have you as their host.

Cowards laws to break you in.
Them who'd crave the power.
Telling you confess to them.
Corruption they would tower.

All the agents flocking by.
People you'd leave cries.
Unimpressive power hounds.
Incompetence...

Premium Member Rainbows Hidden In Stone
Crystals are found inside very unimpressive looking stones.  While I lived in AR I visited a quartz mine where some of the most beautiful crystals in the world come from. That is what this is about.

Rainbows hidden in stone
Lie deep inside to us seldom...

Excellence In God's Eyes (Written For John Heck's Encore Contest)
Excellence in God’s Eyes

Words of wisdom haunt wayward souls.
And rationalization carries one into the pit.
But understanding elevates the heart.
And brings a man to his eternal joy.
A man who perceives another man’s needs, 
Whether physical, emotional, or spiritual,
And shows forth an overflowing compassion,
Pleases his own spirit...

Democracy
DEMOCRACY

You know what!
The kite of democracy has
Soared a bit too high
In the vermilion sky 
That eventually has acquired 
Hue of unripe opium
After change of yonder years,
It has fallen in array
Of those high flying birds
Whose cradles
Happen to be swayed
In petite hands
And horoscope contained
Fortune in plenty,
The land...

Believe and Seek
They told us dream vast
Never knowing it wouldn't last
Imagination would die
As time flew by
Speculations kept us progressive
But really it was unimpressive
Surely the truth will come out
With all the doubt
Of those before despaired
While we should be scared
Inspiration is weak
Believe and Seek...

Each Cherished Memory of Mine Cause Iz Woe
Each cherished memory of mine...cause iz woe

Analogous to unique ventifact for shore
and seven years ago,
where time and tide faintly roar
within noggin o'this common Joe
reviewing silent film unreleased,

unpopular, unimpressive tour
de force if technology existed
to broadcast and show
projected on big screen only
to elicit chore

tills whereby rotten tomatoes
lobbed...

Muck Truck Trophy Series
Speculation and a whole lotta hope
went out to the new leaders of both teams.
one fella even went as far as saying, he
saw an offsite
performance of two league performers
during a televised championship warmup.
He thought what was beiung presented insulted
longtime fans, and merchandised buyers alike.
" he said...

A Message To the Kid
Its that long haul now kidder, the big old whistle is whining calling you out into the wild.

The smell of change is running through the silky-smooth comfort, a drop of raw red blood in a cup of cool water! You can almost taste in your...

Intrustions You Sing It
Struggling through the verses
Not remembering some of
The words
Crooning the parts
Which should
Be soothed over
Keeping smooth
When words should be
In expression
Not keeping the melody
With the words
Introductions lack meaning
The sound dry
Unimpressive
Ad unclear
Maybe someone
C an mimicking you
In the background
To make your sound
More clear.
Put meaning behind
I love you
So the tenors and...
