Best Vibes Poems
Oh! how gracefully the trees, flaunting splendor lilt
Swaying autumn’s palettes in rhythms of winds ruby
As the sun is setting, flaming glow of gamboge skies
Amber breeze is blushing rosy glimmer of eventide
And robins are excavating pecking on decaying lawn
Where ducks are ambling, ogling seductive bond
Amid people strolling, pausing to gaze at opaline arc
Floating crimson filaments on tinted purple canvas
Enhanced by falling colors whirling mellowed vibes
In twilight’s golden ambiance alluring romantic eyes
Gleam of eve’s fading, ceding reign to peeking moon
As scent of you appeals, quiescently enveloping me
Enchanting where I sit, under twinkling stellar magic
Enticed by euphony of mockingbird’s sensuous song
Articulating for me eloquently, love is never too far
When autumn blazes passions titillating lovers’ hearts

Placed 1st: Let’s Mix It Up Poetry Contest
Sponsor: Constance La France
Theme: Nature
Unrhymed couplet/Unrhymed imagism/Free verse
“A flower of strange beauty, growing in a desolate spot, and blossoming in the wind.”
— Nathaniel Hawthorne
Blooming zinnias, swaying in the breeze,
Elegance attracting
cute little hummingbirds with ease,
Hues impacting;
Lemon yellow butterflies flit around,
Collecting sweet nectar,
Zinnias stand tall in the ground,
Sole protector;
Hearts flutter at the sight of these flowers,
Cheerfully spread good vibes,
Small, yet potent, they have powers
no tongue describes.

For Constance La France's "Writing challenge - Zip, Zig, Zag, Zing" contest
o what emotions stirred
the colours and hues
the contrasts and textures
the splashes and strokes
artists expressing it all
serenity and madness
gentleness and vulnerability
passion and violence
letting it surface
like a bubbling stew
for the sake
of communicating
and contributing
unique perspectives
leaving their mark
on life’s journey

You bring your own tribe
Of negative vibes
You make that dumb face
That cuts like knives
It’s passive aggressive
And too excessive
The littlest thing
Your manic depressive
Your anger is stout
And when it’s let out
Everyone’s affected
By the words you shout
You couldn’t care less
You’re truly, a mess
But we all keep quiet
Or no one will rest
Smile.
Laugh.
Meditate,
Take deep breaths.
Clear your conscience,
Of all negative thoughts.
Wish away negative thought forms,
From other people.
Avoid people who belittle you
Or always criticise negatively;
Including friends, neighbours,
colleagues
And family.
Eat well.
Dress well.
Listen to good music.
Read good books.
Avoid drugs.
Know when to fight,
And when to flee.
Do what you love.
Believe in abundance.
Surround yourself with people with
similar ambitions.
Avoid trying too hard to please,
Impress or fit in.
Believe in love.
Love yourself;
Love those who love you.
Avoid being affiliated to groups full
of negativity
They will pollute your conscience.
Avoid horrifying news in the media,
Bad politics and programmes that
seek to
Control your choices.
Appreciate more, complain less.
Be slow to anger.
Learn to be patient.
Learn to see "setbacks" as
experiences.
Worry less about age, death and
money
And how you look like.
Avoid blaming parents, the
government and employers
For every "problem" in your life.
Whatever teachers, parents and
preachers say
Doesn't really define you.
Be open to change.
Believe that nothing lasts;
Including pain and pleasure.
Learn to doubt everything;
Including this poem.
You are now free.
Live your life.
Dawn song / sweet trills / thin flute roused
Splayed light / warm vibe / worn slats doused
Dream haunts / harsh cough / plumb tears smart
Heart touched / mixed thoughts / frail past frouse

Jueju is a curtailed verse of Chinese origin that grew popular amongst Chinese poets during the Tang Dynasty. Some of the formal rules of the regulated verse forms were applied in the case of the jueju curtailed verse, these rules as applied to the jueju include regular line length (either 5 or 7 monosyllables per line in each quatrain), the use of a single rhyme in even-numbered verses (lines), strict patterning of tonal alternations (see the updated definition of Jueju here at PS), use of a major caesura before the last three syllables, optional parallelism and grammaticality of each line as a sentence. Each couplet generally forms a distinct unit, and the third line generally introduces some turn of thought or direction within the poem. The final line ponders the meaning and draws the parts together. The English form was first taught by Dr Jonathan Stalling at UC Berkeley in 1997 who introduced the rhyme scheme aaba (mimicking the Rubaiyat), and a dictionary of monosyllable words to be used in the phrases.

You’re my only one…. You say im youre only one too….. The vibe im getting is saying you got a ton….. And im
just added to the crew…. I wanna see us going some where….. You say you think we gone go far…… The vibe im
getting is saying my heart is just going to tear…… And your not evening going to get a scar….. I see myself
giving you a house key….. You say you see me having yo babies…. The vibe im getting is saying you using me
as a trophie….. And looks is all you want from me….
So im getting these bad vibes……. You tell me I shouldn’t let me cry… And they mean nothing… But I think they
mean something…. Saying you have something to hide….. So as my heart is beating… this text you reading….
Do you want to be wit me honestly…. Cause theses tears is making what I see kind of blurry…. I cant see what
the truth holds…. Ima try to be brave yeah a lil bold..... I might get hurt….. At least ill be alert….. To this cruel
thing called young love…… That has me feeling like crud..…

Truly truly high in the sky
These bars written softly
Flow smooth like a lulaby
On the wings of a dove float on by.
Born with a metalic shield
The heart is the weapon but I didnt wield
Keepin it in my chest each day concealed
Negativity smashed straight to the backfield.
See I dont lie those doubters sigh
Its my style makes their heads fry.
Compelling me to cry with laughter
That im still saying this years and years after.
I first stood on stage the crowd roared my name
I'm who they love king of the rap game.
This years no better my bars still tight
I sell out venues night after night.
Social media I'm immune to your kryptonite
Like Sheen in Platoon I fire dynamite.
Truly truly high in the sky
These bars written are so fly
Flow so smooth like a lulaby
On the wings of a dove float on by
This is where i belong all along
Sing along to the chorus of my song.
Dancin with Bacardi till the nights done
So fun m'lady bathing in the summer sun.
Times i thought I should quit
5 million euoros yes I paid for it.
These dollar bills they give me the thrills
Little-big house on the prairie in the Hills.
These dollar bills no they aint concealed
In front ya'll naysayers ya I wield.
Pics on walls Picasso painted
Now truffle on my plate golden tainted.
Truly truly high in the sky
These bars written are so fly
Flow so smooth like a lulaby
On the wings of a dove float on by.
Cup my breast,
with a gentle glide,
of your hands,
seductively kiss,
my neck down,
to the inner,
of my thigh,
breathing
Heavily ponders,
as my...heartbeat skips,
all because,
you take,
my breath away,
every time you touch me,
with passionate vibes, which
soothes my soul in a calming
heaven,,,
Reflections on Windows
Conversations with depth
Well defined shadows
Sunset silhouettes
Tangible textures
At the core of my home
Reward for my efforts
Time spent alone
Flying on planes
Unfamiliar faces
No need to explain
How crucial my space is
A crisp hotel bed
In a place, far away
Time, in my head
Before words I say
Unique ways of living
To excite a routine
The feeling of winning
Support from a team
A life I can trust
No, hard hitting twists
Events, pre-discussed
Checking off lists
A mild, solo stroll
Beneath leaves, falling
To pamper my soul
And ponder my calling
The cloud blinks yellow
ripples of waves dance on sea
the cool breeze lingers...
hawk shines at its blaze...
branches of trees move slowly
along the sea coast.
Vibes
Stay positive n spread good vibes
Dnt get involve in wrng paths n bribes
Be around people havin sense of humour
Never get into wrng support instead be your armour
Oh child! Its a tiny place wid huge mass
Be on your toes n choose d ethical class
No sorcerer was required for human creation
Bt it needed a wizard to understand the speciation
Outside apearence of one can be redeeming
Bt what if the inner soul is always demanding
The races the castes the gripes
And still we belong to same tribe
To live a life...just be in d good vibes...
Love vibes
Up rush inner-strength, peace sublime, glee ,when
dab of love by darling buds
taste the tender tendrils

Sleep Vibes.
As a child,I talked in sleep about my dolls,
Cadbury houses,nursery books and what not,
Why did Lara figit with my colourful balls,
Scream at my friend who snatched my pot.
Talking in sleep is a common factor,
I yell in sleep targeting those stronger than me,
To my family members,at times I seem to be an actor,
Mind swirls around the dream that wants to be free.
I saw a movie late night and slept,
In sleep I happen to meet the protagonist,
Happiness knew no bounds,on my bed I leapt,
Rejoiced and told about it to my panellist.
This went on till Mom shook me on my bed,
Still I coudnt break off my sleep,
Mom in tension went all over red,
In senses,all vanished and I saw her stress drip.
P.S Quatrain of rhyme scheme abab.

On either side
We try to strive
And live our lives
In the same or different tribes
Below or in the skies
Near and far from the tides
Seeing things with our own eyes
Among animals and human kind
In close proximities or areas that are open wide
Positive no negative vibes
As the sun shines
And darkness arrives
We all take dives
But what matters is if you rise
And continue to climb
Regardless of if you fall behind
At times
The stars and planets align
Or become trine
Events and occurrences coincide as well as occasionally intertwine
For some they may be difficult to describe
Still to this day and age are homicides
And crimes
As well as hostility causing people to divide
Realize the answer can be hard to find
Even when all efforts are applied
In the end the result just may leave you disatisfied
