Best Vetting Poems


Premium Member Hypocrisy Democracy and the Seven Day Weekend

We have fences around homes...
locks on doors
bars across windows
video cameras-
motion detectors
and panic rooms.
To protect the only sanctuary that we have.
Even heaven has a vetting gate to keep evil at bay.
but they call trump a heartless, racist...
for protecting the only sanctuary that we have...

We kill a half a million babies a year.
Then riot over the inhuman treatment of a chicken
that we are about to devour.

Tens of thousands of homeless, hungry Americans w/o healthcare.
My illegal alien neighbor gets everything for free.
Sports around in a Cadillac escalade (though used) 
and has a seven-day weekend.

Premium Member My Poetry Muse

You lift me from mundane reality,
     with wondrous flights to lands of poetry,
          where there, my simple visions come to be
               expressed with chosen words of imagery.
                    Implanted in the heart and soul of me,
your brilliant gems become the words I see.

My clouded concepts there to you transferred
     to be refined through vetting of each word;
         to shape so artfully my thoughts conferred
               that mirror passions of my heart incurred...
reanimated with your words preferred.

No turning back once our sojourn begins;
     surrendering...the only choice that wins.
          The hunter and the hunted, we like twins,
bind close together through the thick and thins

as words and thoughts unite in final goal...
          all fragments melded to create a whole
and we together merge in heart and soul.

You soon present your gift of polished thought;
          each word alive, well-chosen, sorely sought...

so bittersweet...my muse...poetic art. 

My poem shines in your finality;
     a diamond, honed from visions undeterred.
          Through mazes, it encountered many spins
               composing imagery through word control, 
                   until your tranquil spirit knew you caught
that inner feeling deep within my heart.

Premium Member Being Taciturn

Being Taciturn
(TASS-uh-tern)
By: Miracle Man
8/29/2018

She’s often outwardly taciturn in a group setting,
Opting to be inconspicuous, “Like a fly on the wall.”
Being attentive to others while mentally vetting,
Often, her shorthand is chosen method of scrawl.

Twas the Night Before the Wedding

Twas the night before my cousin's 
wedding
He reluctantly gave in to the 
bachelor party vetting
A burlesque, tawdry strip club was 
the setting
Unbeknownst to him, the bridesmaid 
was his appetite whetting
With gratuitous lap dance, began 
the ribald feting
In drunken stupor, the enamored 
groom his fealty forgetting
Released his inhibitions all of his 
clingy garments shedding
Strode platform, in sync with 
bridesmaids erotic moves duetting
In tantric rhapsody, she released 
pheromones his testosterone 
subletting
Enraptured with his riposte jaunts, 
her matrimonial bond shredding
The enamored bridesmaid with lust 
his bare essentials began petting
His betrothed parts to her 
dominatrix will indebting
As the groom climaxed, his phallus 
got entangled in her fish netting
Two truant souls now writhing; 
spent body parts bloodletting
Dislodging their carnal chains, into 
frothy night jetting
To hotel that lodged devoted bride; 
their remaining passions bedding
 Lurid, tawdry tryst not regretting; 
but o'er bawdy exhibition sweating

Citizen Spy

It's scary dangerous out there,
     this world sure feels so unsafe
There's constant conflict, uprisings and strife
Got me beefing up home security,
     increasing my life insurance annuity
Me even had to start extreme vetting my wife

It's uber hazardous out there,
     this country sure seems like a lawless place
There's constant violence, protests and soft ad targeting
Had to buy me a high-caliber gun,
     added lots more cyber protection
Even started questioning the affiliations of close friends

It is what it is,
     I'm learning to adapt
Be more wary, keep a watchful eye
My government needs me
     to fill the intelligence gap
Guess you can call me a citizen spy

It's double red alert out there,
     local communities with hidden enemies to trace
There's constant warfare of a multi-facet kind
Got bio, got religious
Got economic --- they're all insidious
I collected every conspiracy theory I could find

I'll be doing my part,
     'cause threats are everywhere
Presume you're guilty in the blink of an eye
Just a patriot at heart,
     will make you vanish into thin air
Unless you pledge to become a citizen spy

It is what it is,
     you better learn to adapt
Become more skillful at knowing how to pry
Your government wants you,
     so contact the authorities ASAP
Get recruited and become a good citizen spy

When I Closed My Eyes

And I ask you again
Though you never listen
Not to ask me again
To close my eyes, darling and wait
Because I lose you, and I ache or burn or both or not!
I do not know, my love, but gasp in the rib
For that moment, I’m lost
And when I open my eyes
To find you splashing your smile
Stunned, I start too far
To nudge you and urge you
To search me and touch me
Like I started, when we started
That beginning of ours
A fresh love and you’re too new
I fought you with desperate eyes
I fought my tears but not my fears
I fought my peers, for you my dear
I fought. FOUGHT .  F-O-U-G-H-T with my teeth
To keep you, but more to have you
And I swore, I swear
To keep my eye open, to keep you 

Ask me not, to close my eyes, my love
You are too new, when I open them
If you knew the torture, if only, my dove
You’d perch on me and peck my eye
Grain after grain, again and again
But not that I close them, honey

I don’t want again, to start seeking
And chasing you and guessing when we rest, 
Panting, Skirting around – 
The hips of our your collage
Vetting your kisses and teasing 
To swallow your tongue

When I look your way
You look that new
Afresh I have to renew the vow
Deep in my blood and I smell your heart 
And I want you again to be mine, and I wonder
Where were you, honey
When I closed my eyes
And waited?

Premium Member Vetting

Politics in the USA on a downward spiral
Overworked anthems saturated with denial
 Contemplating this stalling and lobbying
 Makes me wonder why things are happening
 All we have left is a vote counted right
 Constituents unite to kindle their light
 Learn about who is the correct candidate
 Those making every choice for each state

Vetting Refugees

Our President assured us
that "they", will all be cleared
"You're safe here in America
there's nothing to be feared"

Vetting may not help us much
Where, were the Passports made?
Did they buy them on the street?
Or, from someone in the shade?

Takes an Expert with a "sense"
to spot the "Real McCoy"
Those that land here, and are passed
won't make you "jump for joy"

Just one, out of one thousand
that's all they really need
To recruit "those with bitterness"
that's how they'll plant the "seed"

Then, one after another
they're sure to slowly grow
And take in "those without a life"
when it's "too late", you'll know

With no ID to start with
how have they all been cleared?
Our President assured us
there's nothing to be feared.....

A Little Phone Call Malcolm and Donald
   by Bob Moore

Hello Donald
That Afro-American President,  lived there just before you
agreed to take these Middle Eastern fellers from Naru
they are a bloody handful, getting worser every day
when you gonna send a boat, and take them all away

A deals a deal out here in Oz, even if its dumb
hope you will not renege, we’re still your bestest chum
here in the Southern Hemisphere, and maybe in the world
we help to fight in all your wars, so don’t act like a girl
--
Hello Malcom
I heard about that stupid deal, you did before he left
a swap for some Columbians, you both must be bereft
not sure which of them is worse, but one thing that I know
there’ll be some heavy vetting, before you let them go

Out here we have our own problems, don’t know if you’ve heard
eight years of Pres, Obama, but now the people stirred
they want to make America, the way it used to be
no matter where you come from, settle in, and you’ll be free

So nobody can tell me, what is best for me to do
friendship, begging, threatening, its not all about you
I have a land of willing soles, and if they work with me
we will make America, great again, you’ll see. 
Goodbye

Chicken Lessons

My Uncle Ben brought us a hen
He named Alice, one afternoon
He said, "She's sitting on some eggs,"
"That will start to hatch very soon "

Alice hatched Tiny and Thumper
They were hens and we were so proud
Then roosters Blackie and Lucky hatched
They turned out to be very loud

Once a dog got into the pen
But ran when we started to yell
Feathers and chicks flew everywhere
The damage at first hard to tell

We found that Thumper lost an eye
When we posed a careful vetting
Uncle Ben called her "bugger eye"
Which to us was highly upsetting!

We learned that hens can lay eggs
But they couldn't learn any tricks
And we learned that roosters crow
And that chickens and dogs don't mix!

Yule Tide Pageant Merry Go Round First Spin

Panoply of mystical elements of holly day style 
breathe prez sense frostily exaled aired

furrowed stern brow of forehead

eclectic December twenty fifth 
encompassing tens of thousands previous generations
bred despacito fixtures via paganism, 
Manicheaism, Jainism, et cetera
ancient brutish credos, ethos, faiths 

brewed nebulous concoction
within mindset of early mankind 
loose confection, confederation, conglomeration
indiscriminately torquing, vetting, whetting 
disparate constituent beliefs

contagion wrought spirit paradigm 
inculcating oral tradition Madonna and child 
occupying high chair
whereat superstitions birthed patchwork 
comprising divergent ensemble heralding

Premium Member He's angry and hurt

President Biden is angry and hurt
as the press and his party 
devalue his worth.
He's disrespected and told he's too old,
while his challenger spews untruths
yet gains in the polls and
Project 2025 slowly unfolds..
Americans want Trump so
that's what their getting,
regardless of our President
with so much more vetting.
Read Project 2025, it's
extremely upsetting..

Premium Member My Latest Home Town Kansas City

Kansas City. Barbeque beef. Black power and white power working alongside Power and Light.
Sprint Center, Royals Stadium, many small towns, Crown Center, Fritz train deliveries, a real delight.
Aquarium, Union Station, Lego-land, fountains too beautiful to see all at one setting.
Street car, Steamboat Museum, culture as far as the eyes care to see, a real vetting.
Moving here?  Come visit first.  Sample our cuisine and head toward First Friday in the bottoms.
If we are not friendly something is wrong, visit summer, spring, or come experience our autumns.
A small town feeling in most of our suburbs, and an eclectic mix of personalities,
We are tearing it up, a mess in a good way, and open to new foreign ideas, so come if you please.

The Best of Jazz

He hit the downbeat, found the blues,
Not to mention having no clues.
The jazz man could improvise and drag,
'Bad Penny Blues' an infamous rag. 

Slurring between riffs with such ease,
Trumpet proud he stood out from the sleaze.
Vamp chords repeated for our delight,
dissonance of students in bars each night. 

Jazz club hero Humph always will be,
Jam sessions when all tried to follow thee. 
And though no fun for your vetting,
His music alone was knicker-wetting!
