Best Yield Poems
Yield Not, But KnowAsh - grey chemised
she shifts her shape
as silver flakes float coat
stripped naked places,
sheath curves and angled spaces
Angry glitter tingle stings
thick earth skin with prickly flames
and rumble rise regurgitates
shimmy - shake shudders
in magma's deep thrombosis.
Her feather boa plume
tightens hot cloud chokehold,
acrid smoke flung up in...

The YieldNight rewrites day, transforms the blues
with ink-wash, urges me to forget
grapples, tasks, drudgery,
hard surfaces and hardened people as all things
soften, lighten, blur— even gravity pulls less
as if the world’s core has pardoned the hefty afternoon.
Sheets pouch this body,...

YieldYield? Not to you, I certainly won't.
I'll parry on hot coals, I'll lunge to your affront.
Succumb? I'll not breathe your air of lies,
Since no honeyed sweetness makes me compromise.
Supplicate? Then throw down your armor at will.
Once freed from this battle, you will be my...

I That Because of Your Attack, Will Never YieldI That Because Of Your Attack, Will Never Yield.
No single tear given, nor I gift you an open field
so yes, make merry with your hatred and false face
as you pretend to be a true and great religious man,
a fraud, with your camouflage, you are a...

Yield Not To Whims, Nor Be RashLet not rash ejections of the mind
Blind thee of rational occasions
For idleness renders you unhappy
Yield not to whims
Nor be rash
Restrain ridiculous mentality
For it is thee mind
That makes thee truth
Remain or disappear
Yield not to prejudice
Yield not to succumb
Uneasy and insipid constraints
Shall not render me
My...

YieldYearning to be free from sin and self,
I bow before my Savior God and King.
Earnestly I seek Your tender mercies,
Laying down my life an offering.
Dying to my will I live for Yours.

I Refusing To Cry, You To Ever YieldI Refusing To Cry, You To Ever Yield
I never went into your dark room
never saw your silent rage
In my mind your cannons never boom
nor does your face ever age
I never felt your lonely trance
never saw you naked in a...

A Yellow YieldTiredless toils a farmer wields
to overcrowd his fallow fields.
His seeds did snug the ground,
and rodents ran arround;
in harvest came a yellow yield.

Scream Attentions Only To YieldI'm feeling like I've lost my sons for i have failed as a mother-
I'm on the verge of becoming white as snow
for I am trying to pull my life back together
but taking the path to a darkness road, I'm walking slow
I have fail
to not have...

The Heart's YieldShe did not yield to his advances
Playing hard to get, taking chances
He sent her a bouquet of red roses
As his quest for love he poses
Love becomes a game of pursuit
In an attempt to capture her heart
Like a tango in...

When Angels Yield To FateHere below the point where, losing his footing,
he’d tumbled down into the cavity
of what appeared to be a giant cleft
left in the side of this ancient cliff,
He lay, an anomaly
sharing space with two large boulders
which he now was wedged between.
These rocks, which had formed
layer...

Yieldobstinence, disobedience
and uncompromising minds
a few of the traits that the nation of Israel
responded to God's Kind
they were very self-absorbed
and completely unyielding
ungrateful for the blessings
that God Himself was revealing
even after all that He had done
to remove them from Egypt's slavery hold
