Best Vernacular Poems


Audonus Taylor's a Cliche Oddysey In Hip Hop Vernacular
Through the shades of pain, 
Eyes can only read rage and madness,
Encumbered tenants of the 
residence where crack lives,
He wants to travel but cannot 
afford an atlas,
Dope game forced on him with 
no time to practice,
Tries to force himself to sleep 
through all the sadness,
Breathing...

My Vernacular
Check your cheques
You must realise or recognise
Quarrelling analysing skillfully
Without criticism centre or colour
Judgement no theatre of grey of arguement
Like a boats draft determined by draughtsman
Curbing ones thoughts like avoiding a roads kerbs
An encyclopaedic almost an un-parallelled programme 
A marvellous jewellery there not of aluminium but...

Love In the Vernacular
You say you've loved with all your heart
Dug down deep and pulled out a plumb

Reached levels of ecstasy with numbing toes
Except the ones that went to market

And still, there is hurt in your eyes
That can never be repaired by Botox

With every action, there is a...

Breaking From Vernacular 2
Breaking from Vernacular 2  [ edit ]

The truth neglected
A different outcome expected
Never was life so splendid
Happy now even if it ended
Taking time to ease the mind
The less I think the more I find
Change seems more than spectacular
To truly break from the vernacular...

Breaking From Vernacular
On the outside the world is spectacular
Taking a break from the vernacular
Speaking out of sophistication
With no effort or dedication
Taking the time to abscond 
Wondering of the things that lye beyond
Alone in the night left with abstraction
Left alone with my ego
My fatal attraction...

Vernacular
whatcha mean it's not spec-tac-u-lar,
it's not the king's spoken command
the way I mean to say ver-nac-u-lar
it's just my talkin' outta hand

don't cha know how folks here talk
syntax of emotion, of little import
music to some ears, others can balk
when e-nun-ci-a-ting an angry retort

it's jus' the way...

Premium Member The Vernacular
The vernacular language that I use
Slips into my writing also and can confuse
Those from other countries and regions 
Sometimes my language is macabre 

For I slaughter the English language
From the teachings of my upbringings;
And also from the family and associations
My language patterns have taken form.

I...

Premium Member The Unspectacular
not a  collection of life’s greatest hits
more the matter of odd pieces and bits
most aspects of existence left to chance
not always leading to rapid advance
jumbled together through disjointed time
risky, no reason, hardly a rhyme

lots of narrative describing mundane
trivial matters of somebody's reign
not every one...

Premium Member Recite Me a Poem In An Unknown Patois
I love; I really love your voice and your diction
Recite me a poem in an unknown language
I don't give a darn about the pronunciation
Undress the words; I love them when they're naked.

Take your time; be loud, louder, harder, and then softer
Do not stop when you...

Posture and Promise
THEY THOUGHT IT WAS SOUND BUSINESS
THEY CONDUCTED THESE DOINGS UNDER 
THE CLOAK OF EAGERNESS
READY AND WILLING TO TAKE PART IN SOMETHING
SPECIAL AND SOMETHING SO FUTURISTIC
THAT IT WAS KEPT SECRET TO SHIELD A WORLD AGAINST
IT'S UNREADINESS.
IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING THAT ONLY THE VERY
 SMART AND EFFLUENT...
