Best Valedictory Poems

Morning drizzle
Drops of rainbow;
Colours dazzle

~~~~~~~~~


Weather contrast
Hot and dehydrating;
Sticky humidity

~~~~~~~~~


Lonely songbird
Dawn epiphany;
Lost lover's lament

~~~~~~~~~


New journal entry
Ring-bound folio;
Ink stain memory

~~~~~~~~~


Sleepy distractions
Lazy Saturday weather;
Bakery fragrance 

~~~~~~~~~


Towering monolith
War memorial site;
Our glorious dead

~~~~~~~~~


Relics of war here
Public cenotaph;
Never ever forget

~~~~~~~~~


City lights twinkle
Festive air prevails;
May Day holiday

~~~~~~~~~


Valedictory speech
Gratitude meets promise;
Ambitious plans

~~~~~~~~~


Squirrel zigzags
Sideways...

As I watched some bread fruits fall, 
I thought of friends answering heaven's call:
Like flowering plants were the youth and rigidity- 
Of these gems full with virility.
But in the sudden wake of a season
Appeared the ghoul to lead one into death's prison.

I bemoan the day...

I Have Seen The Stars Fallen

  The pageants veiled, and gnawed at gladness,
  As prism from far inter-stellar space;
  And they eclipse and the luminosity fa’e over the
  phase,
  And the pursuit of phantasy had sold out to gravitation;

Turning into an angelic beast,
Here is the ugly Narcissist....
For others! She cared least,
Here's the ugly Narcissist.

When the plot of life got revealed,
She had a role to lead.
Sanguine She, was now so turbid,
Like Sophocles! Hard to get rid.

But it doesn't end here! still some to indite,

Terrorism is a villainous violence, 
Used by those who disagree,
Bloodshed breaks the somber silence,
Between those who feel unfree. 

However, when one disagrees
With how the system works,
They are targeted by an intelligent team
Of thieves who wear white wicked smirks.

Welcome to America, a republic of United States,
Where...

Nostalgic about moving-on moments
my mind lingers at throwback scenes
milestones surpassing oblivion challenge.

1974... Kindergarten toga and cap propelled my steps
toward big brother’s elementary campus
midst anticipation of sumptuous recess-snacks.

1981... Triumphantly leading alma mater pledge 
I then saluted fellow graduates
eager to roam along high school corridors.

1985... Absorbed by...

Held fast by poetry and Beaudelaire   
in a pencil skirt  worn on Sunday rare   
she enrolls and returns to school again 
hoping for a chance of way back when   
with solemn vow she pivots towards light  ...

Precocious boy, yon ere the age of twelve,
Parades vast knowledge, complexity swelled,
Our simplistic share was well understood,
Kept back of minds, preserves naive childhood.

Green imparts years cherished adolescence,
Bottled, we heed, coupled coalescence,
Errant appendages spark normal steps,
Blessed gifted faculties, fellow class frets. 

Removed and placed amongst the...

Execution

In the absence of complication,
intricacies of wayward living,
matters emphatically mitigated,
compelling conclusions, well-received,
extenuating circumstance accomplishes,
impressive consequences, be enduring,
proffers a conciliatory concession, 
for toward said conclusion, we pray that all our
trials and tribulations become distant memories.

Above sapphire skies delight sanguine eyes -
amidst the enshrined immersed in the...

V vaunts verbiage vociferously.
Visage viewed very vacuous                            			
Vacillates varyingly,
Venting valentine versus violence

Vast, versatile, variant,
Vehement vituperations volunteered: 
Voices voice...

I reflect on what you look like now!
You were beauteous when I saw you last.
What precious gifts did time endow?
All those years of tranquil absence
As you slumbered away the time somehow.

I wonder if your eyes remain bright,
They always looked at me kindly.
I think that, if...

Victory neared but I had all but given up
Memory had slowly begun to abandon me,
Ivory towers no longer satisfied my needs
Trajectory found me kneeling on bended knee.

History had not been particularly kind to me
Contradictory rumors cast blots on my life,
Sophistry invaded my one sphere of...

Liberated and confident she stood there,
    Embracing the moonlight and fresh air.
    Tears softly running down her cheeks.

    Usually anxiously, waiting for his text,
    Standing here, let her feel relax.

   Spontaneously...

She is insatiable;predatory
In business always valedictory
Sees no conflict of interest in her position
Spurns financial disclosure requisition

She strides like a colossus, speedily
Eating smaller fry greedily
Using as an opportunity every disrupter
Allowing nothing or nobody to be an interrupter...
