Descriptor Poems | Examples


Dog Lover

People say we 
seem compatible mates,
that’s moronic !...
she HATES DOGS !! 
which
 is pretty ironic
being she’s such a 
constant bitcher,
and that label,
that descriptor,
insofar as it is able,
shows how a
lack of compatibility,
however hard it might be,
is fair for her. 
Au contraire
the canine,
whose character
I would define
and describe
as being
“Loyalty personified”
I prefer.
You see,
DOGS CARE, 
life enriching
presences.
So I won’t be 
hitching up with her.
She thinks that
stroking her back
and doggystyle
I find delightful, 
but that’s
so uninsightful.
She’ll be 
catatonic 
knowing that 
real love for me is
dog platonic

Semantic Intolerance

I remember this word, when it was a veritable curse;
It spoke of  actions, beliefs, feelings and ideas that were
reprehensible and indefensible, only worthy of our condemnation

I remember when it was a vile and shameful descriptor; 
It was synonymous for ignorance, hate, injustice, inhumanity
It was abhorrent, it was unforgivable, it was.....intolerable

Intolerance..... what has become of you?

The Colour Blue

There’s ever so much more to blue
Than just a color
It’s as much an emotion 
As it is a hue

Blue is the tender soul 
Of  sky,  flower and  ocean
And the blessing and bane
Of me and you

Dye of desperation
Paint of despair
Wistful wash of wisdom
And the pale shade of prayer

A name for a pet
A descriptor of sea
Four letter word…Tho’
The best one that could be

It is substance, it has meaning
Is nothing, yet so many things…  
All the while, tis just a color
 Only a color,...yet a color with wings

Probably Not Prophetic

Whispered messages heard only in your mind
do not mean you have received heavenly advice
If you were to have yourself examined you'd find
mental instability to be a descriptor most concise
