Best Upbraid Poems

idealism of youth

mélange of 
dreams and prayers—
disparate yet intertwined—
assembled in their thunderous ranks
to echo past myriad
gleaming colonnades that
buttress evermore eternity

self-betrayal and realization

stolid mind shattered
by coruscant might,
and one's irreverent yearn
in shards was rent asunder,
bereft of merit but who
transformed amid the filth—
banality dismissed

sorrow and reconciliation

grieving stream of...

We hope that Early English dance alone retains its zest,
to charm and please our devotees, we do our level best.
We’re not quite sure if all we do, has quite the Morris ring;
but, anyway, we’ll strut around then try and do our thing.

We ring our bells...

A beggar cannot dare expect fabulous gifts.
His impolite joshing keeps logical men nervous.
Old panhandlers quite regularly start to upbraid virtuous women.
X-rateds yield zilch....

she knew all the moves
Queen's Gambit
Sicilian Defense
Bura's Desperado Sacrifice
with her arms wrapping me
we barreled the freeway
racing headlong into the wind
balanced on two wheels below
as free as mustangs in the mountains
abandoned in the moment with the herd
where the only destination
was in the hooves desires
when emotions move...

There is indifference if I fail by trying
But there is jubilation if I finally succeed,
To persuade contrast faces quietly marvelling
With kindness to those who are in need.

There is love and sometimes there is peace,
The unknown scarcely threaten our realm,
To know the fear of hazards exist...

My heart is raging….

I’m raging, churning, foaming
Driven WILD...
Incensed, appalled, angered
Filled with BILE

I’m savage, delirious, raving
Mad
Barbaric, feral, tempestuous
BAD

I’m tossing, storming, brewing
About to pound
Crashing, smashing, demolishing
Declared Unsound

I’m rampageous, furious, livid
Untamed
I’ll batter, break, uproot
And upbraid

I'll take you, shake you, hound you
Demand
Seize you, posses you, undress you
Command

Unleashed, unchained, unbroken
Free
Beware,...

Always envious of gifted individuals with neat hand printing/writing

Gnome hatter heroic measures taken
moost ludicrously asinine,
nonetheless hoop fully
me legendary penta meat herd bovine design

of modest fellow (me) will endure as divine,
no matter not one bloody poetic line
pertains to original (above crafted)
storied title of mine
completely buried under

Alone in the wood featureless and stark
  hid a beast of burden that surly crept, 
for countless years behind the hidden bark
  its dying soul among the dead unwept.
In the House of the Garden of Hollies
  beckoned a bright light through asylum...

Abruptly, a princess assailed my heart with love’s javelin
 I relinquish -  a willing slave, I come before you
 O Azrael, angel of death carrying a scythe 
 And carrying souls to the afterlife

 Here’s my breath, here’s my soul
 Take them – sleep...

Is it true Said the child to it's Father,
That we all have to be very good,
And We don't have a choice if we'd rather,
Be naughty and play in the mud.

The father was pensive and thoughtful,
And pondered this question some time,
“If you want to be naughty...

Jawab-e-Shikwa
THE ANSWER TO THE COMPLAINT BY ALLAH ALMIGHTY  SIDE TO PIOUS PEOPLE OF THE WHOLE UNIVERSE:
https://youtu.be/EXRl5VKq39M
When passion streaming from the heart turns human lips to lyres,
Some magic wings man’s music then, his song with soul inspires;
Man’s words are sacred then, they soar, The ears...

Domestic chargé d'affaires
became mine bailiwick
dint of the missus being
disinclined and less quick
budgeting, hence I inadvertently
accepted lickity split,
subsequent obligation did

smoothly clack and click,
which minimized conflict
whereby we shared equal intrinsic
reciprocity complicity, culpability
then at playtime, thee enigmatic
one whipped out adult toys
stashed in the attic.

Altercations impossible to avoid,
'specially when...

The people who love me.
I'm a crazy girl for them.
The people who hate me.
I'm a lousy gal for them.
The people who ruined my life.
I'm a broken reed for them.
The people who upbraid me.
I'm a hoyden for them.
The people who poke fun at me.
I'm a duffer...

Soft-shelled things by their sources laid
On spots assuring them no raid:
In my poultry picked up by maid,
With care handled or her upbraid
“Boiled or Omelets but with bread,
For my breakfast do as I’ve said!”

I’d quip: Mirror Image of Earth!
As birds live, we’ll record no dearth, 
In...
