Best Vaguest Poems

I was a solemn person by nature, so my demeanor was always dignified,
Like the somber moon of nighttide, that sees vaguest dreams magnified.

Oh, I enjoyed having a good time, only I showed it in different ways,
As when a blizzard pummels the mountains, and the bold...

Not a true Choka...but uses a 5,7,7,5,7,7 format

Chill, steaming vapour;           
Silence over pale water;           
Faded, thin wisps of ribboned 
 Pink...

As morning dawns upon the bight,
And illuminates the sea,
Awake, awake to dawns first light.

A haze upon the head alight,
Clouding out all memory,
As light of day overcame the night.

Impossible it is to write
All that the mind did see,
When you awake to dawns first light.

The vaguest sense...

"Time"
by:  Eric L. Boddie

Tomorrow, it never comes
For it is always today
But the future will be realized
For it lives in each and every Pre-K

Only the now is forever
Yet no one knows how long the now will last
Because my most recent thought
Is the newest entry in...

How dare you suggest that I’m racist, having known
me lo these many years? Just the mere accusation,
brings me nigh unto tears. Nothing could be more
hurtful, my character brought under attack, at the
risk of sounding cliché, “some of my best friends
are actually Black!”

The ‘Good Book’ says...

I heard all the anecdotes on antidotes
but I wanted my therapy done chemically
so much that, in an approximation of intoxication 
my judgments blurred uncertainties with a whispered ‘allegedly’

spectacular vernacular, jailed - minus crime or credibility
capital cliches of an amateur poet, inevitably
a teenagers growing phases annotated...

Not ever having gotten drunk before,
I drank tequila; then I drank some more.

The night got shorter. Wasted,  then I saw
A tall dark cowboy stride into the bar.

The drinks kept flowing as he hit on me,
And now I have this vaguest memory. . . 

I...

Today I watched a video
Set to music
It was faithless stuff
Reminding me
Of the creatures in virtual reality
Trying to discern how to navigate
Through their maze of
Confused white lights
And misdirection
Upheld by a puff of air
With only the vaguest notion
Of some reward to strive for --

And I realize how...

Five letters to cover a million,
A nonchalant approach to spilled ink on a page,
A casual glance at the sky to depict rain,
When standing in the eye of a hurricane,
Fear not little bird you're still safe in your cage,
Your cost of admission covered with gold bouillons,
One...

where narcissistic assumptions are presumed
to be a priori and default perfect
in so far as we estimate ourselves
in the slightest vaguest
single point mirror ghost called I
this is the grand knock me down delusion
when we are a many named one
meanwhile actual levels of imperfection
buzz along the turnpike...

As the years passed by, father trusted my upbringing to a nurse while he nursed his wounds with drops of liquor. In the first six years of my existence, he never once spared me a thought, but sometimes he would sneak glances at me when...

Count the wrinkles, count the lines
Each one owns their place in time,
Around my mouth see my smiles
Measure them, I hope there's miles.

On my forehead see my frowns
Embedded there when times were down,
Beneath my eyes you see the bags
I'm at an age when some things sag.

When...

Thank God
         The sun is shining, somewhere
maybe i'd not be whining, were i only there
though here, rains wash over me, and i am chilled
thanks to Jesus, i live forever, here or there, live, or killed(hey, it rhymed!)

so...

Where I am I cannot tell you
Who they are I can't apprise
Do not look for me this evening
For Fear's formidable in my eyes.

My dialogue ambiguous
But I have hitherto lie
Even in my vaguest of dialect
You must sense my hands are tied.

These behemoths will not harm me
These...

I'm walking blindly along a path 
With only the vaguest sense
Of everything

I dont know
Where I'm going
Or who I'm with
What I'm doing
Or where I've been

All I know
&
All I don't 


Is You 
:)
