Cliches Poems - Poems about Cliches

This poem is a cliché bonanza, practically begging for an AI checker to throw its hands up in frustration. Have fun AI. ROFLMAO Beneath the moon’s soft, silver glow, Where gentle breezes whisper low, The stars, like diamonds, dot the night, As love takes wing in fleeting flight. The roses blush a crimson hue, Their petals kissed by morning dew. A lone...

Honestly. What's the best policy? Honesty? Don't loose lips sink ships? You follow me? "Keep your circle small." "Keep your enemies close." How much is enough, then, to have them by the ropes? "Knowledge is power." "Ignorance is bliss." How does one choose between THAT or THIS? Idioms, cliches, metaphors and more. Life's...

All say avoid cliches Don't call tears, tears I search for alternative All forms of water already used I give up I am writing to pen down my inner most feelings My thoughts come from within Why should I change them? I am not out here to impress others I will not break my head to win a prize My happiness is more important...

Why a 'needle' in a haystack What's it doing there And 'a stitch in time 'saves nine' ~ If nine more stitches, who cares And who ever cries over 'spilled milk' I'm certainly not of that ilk If 'a penny' saved were a MILLION earned Then perhaps I'd dress in silk All I'm saying here,...

Deep in thought I clear my throat When out pops the frog Sometimes I'm so nervous I about pee in my pants Holy Moses: Here come the ants Adjusting my bonnet I feel a sharp needle Yup, there's the bee I can't hold back any longer And much to my chagrin There go my horses And when I inspect ...

Creative Writing was my love, a passion I thought highly of. A freshman, I felt I could shove one course in my school year. Assignment 1 - simple indeed: "Who broke your heart and made it bleed?" I felt I nailed it; Prof agreed (or so it would appear)... I think I wrote convincingly - "Winter is not...

A POEM MADE UP OF CLICHES At Poetry Soup we're admonished Never to use cliches They provide us an extensive list For the error of our ways But one thing you can rely on Is people just don't pay heed Like a dog gnawing a ham bone Poets write stuff unfitten to read Over and over again I traverse the road less traveled No one understands...

Are cucumbers cool As a general rule? How fresh is a daisy? Are loons always crazy? How snug is a bug When he’s not in a rug? How gentle are lambs If not happy as clams? How clever’s a fox That’s as dumb as an ox? How fit is a fiddle Not clean as a whistle? Are doornails most dead, Or are dodos instead? Is it drier than toast To...

Three sheets in the wind And rubbed the wrong way By a fair weather friend You must seize the day Let your hair down And lay down the law Be the talk of the town With your last hurrah With all your high hopes Few and far in between Up against the ropes Taking one for the team Play your cards right No guts no glory Still High...

No Time Like The Present (Cliches Contest) I need to get out of this place! So very tired of everyone's bromidic rhetoric. It's sickening... The continuous chatter of a dramatic existence. It's sickening... Who are these people anyways? Shhhh! I hear my mother whispering some old cliché, so far away, "There is no time like the present", she says, and...
