Common Poems - Poems about Common

Common

From beneath a veil,
A shroud itself hidden,
Anonymity It's masquerade.
Tired secrets languish,
Benighted by nature,
Emerald, to pale green and white, from jade.
A sough in the head,
Of their tepid maker,
Whispers nothing, wholly unaware.
Crafty camouflage,
For the crafter of secrets,
Who never knew they were there.
The irony aroma,
Stagnant blood without pressure,
Metallic, unmoved, unaffected.
Averse to sense,
Illusory marionette's,
Clear strings, turbid skeins undetected.
And the

Draw the heart

I draw the heart alone
on a wall,
I draw the heart on the night.
Wanted to draw my heart
on a heart,
but it always kept itself
out of sight,
never appeared
like the endless common tales
under the sun,
rain or the moonlight.

One Thing in Common

It’s no accident that dentists,
grave diggers and proctologists
all share one thing in common:
filling holes, teeth, and an occasional bottom. 

Your Highness

25.04.08

Can your Highness give more promises?
So much more that they can be broken,
Minute by minute, day after day for decades.

Can your Highness stay away?
So far that I can't see your face,
That will really make my day.

Can your Highness make me blind?
So blind I can not see any lies.

Can your Highness make me deaf?
So deaf I

THE WELL OFF AND THE COMMON

There I stand before you,
And then serve you,
With all my efforts and joy,
Which you do enjoy.

But my works are erased from the pages of history,
Could you tell me the reason for this behavior filled with mystery?
I might not be a CEO or a manager,
But I too am a human with emotions such as joy, grief

She gambled

She gambled on you
She walked a bridge too far  
You didn't feel it true
It was too high a bar

She could have tried talking
That way she would've known
Behind your infatuation
Real affection hadn't grown

She thought there was a bond  
A mystical dream  
But the wizard lost his wand 
You were just a prop in

Common Folk

Wonder how long it will take them to see I am a famous poet.
See it is nice to see what other poets are doing to help others.
If you aren't helping as a community then what are you doing?
The answer is nothing, put the pen down, and go be lazy elsewhere.

If you want proof, tombstone, “Say

Fanfares of the Common Man

At the breakdown of ages man disappears and reappears
In the form of an easy-to-use scheme
Over the last half-century, man has been replaced
By technocratic ideas of what a man is
But the real man can no longer fit into these forms,
which have shrunk like old clothes.
At the breakdown of ages, man is left to himself.
Politicians and their

Oy vey iz mir, one day in the life of a common house broken schmeckle

Oy vey iz mir, one day in the life of a common house broken schmeckle...,

who did pötschke
and squander many an opportunity
to become a mensch
instead he became persona non grata
condemned to a history of misery,
not unlike Doctor Hyde and Mister Jekyll,
where friends, Romans countrymen did heckle.

After all said and done,
I best have stayed
safe and sound in

Common Words

That rainbow, the colors, the shimmer and glow!
But what do I know of light refraction?

This Medical Illustration Man has been drawn
with only nerve and bone.  He's got a lot of nerve!

A dandelion here on the edge of lawn has broken up,
separated herself from the dance troupe, taken a bow.

This gray elephant, ready to stampede

By Now you Know

Clinking, clinking
I heard the clinking in 
repetition
what could
cause
whatever object this is to
make this clinking sound.
Clink!
The loudest sound
yet.
peaking my interest
one's honest admission
dredged from it's
translucence
clear in obvious
objective
gaining my attention
I relaxed towards
it's conclusion
blanketing myself
to warm my now
needing desire

To The Common People

This is to the humble barbers, humble farmers,

average Joannas & Joes

who give their all, day in day out,

but who most will never know

You all deserve recognition,

whether people know you by name or not

Thank you for everything you do,

It really means a lot

Common Vocabulary

I could use common vocabulary,
but to be honest I never liked it;
The dictionary or the library,
a scavenger hunt I’ll gladly commit;

Buried within a myriad of books,
or a placement on some forgotten list;
Oh, the poetry that a word unhooks!
Without that piece it’s so easily missed;

Recalibrating an old phrase with flare,
rearranged letters liven up the line;
Describing the

The tip of the iceberg

I went to see the wounded boy in the hospital bed  
He knew not who had shot him nor why they wished him dead.  
His cousins sat nearby; I asked them for a clue 
They proceeded to tell me all they knew.

"He flew in from Spain, wanted to go to MIT.
First, he seemed

Common Sense Returns

The country spoke in numbers strong
rejecting notions, we knew were wrong.
Porous borders against our laws,
defund police, those thoughts are flawed.

In regards to the letters,
DEI and CRT
return to the alphabet
where you should be.

Retail theft, okay with them
no consequence, they steal again.
Gender care or mutilate,
once its done, it's too late!

Men compete in women's sports,
dashing hopes and wins
