Experienced Poems

I EXPERIENCED SOMETHING

Is this a real situation 
Or my imagination 
Maybe it's a dream 
As real as it seems 

As dark as night
I see a bright light 
Drawing my body in
I'm moving but not walking

I feel light as a feather 
Trying to hold it together 
Am I leaving planet Earth 
And all of lifes worth 

I feel a comfortable warmth 
I feel fearless with hope
That to some degree
This is better for me

A voice appears in my head
Startling me they said
You're time is not Today 
Unfortunately you have to stay 

The Drawing force recoiled
I fall back to Earth's soil
As my dream broke
From my coma I woke

Experienced

I've cried in many voices
some happy, some sad.

I've dreamed of many places
some good, some bad.

I've seen the many faces
some evil, some glad.

I've learned so much by living
this life, that I have had!

I experienced a break up and you didn't even love me yet

What you would never, 
and what I won't want to.

tree roots search for nutrients and water
effortlessly sliding around barriers
supporting the tree’s canopy in the best way she can

Premium MemberSands of Time

I started life as a grain of sand,
But knew I’d find a way to expand,
And always being a bit of a rebel,
I joined with others and became a pebble,
And as I grew and then took stock,
I realised that I had become a rock,
And as I become more confident and grow older,
I wonder if I’ll become -
A little boulder?

Premium MemberExperienced In What

What is the criteria to work in this office?
The prim interviewer began rattling off statistics 
About education, degrees, experience.
I looked around at the staff I could see.
Everyone I saw was female, blonde, twenty-two, and 36, 24, 36.
They dressed in short skirts, wore high heels and their nails were points.
Not a few of them. 
All of them.
Experienced in what? I wondered.
Knowing I would not make the cut.
Of course as you may have guessed, I didn’t.

Premium MemberExperienced Female Mechanic Goes On a Man Hunt

I'm searching for a new man.
			(My lemon quit on me.)
			I'm a discerning seeker.
			(The smallest dent, I'll see!)

			I want a younger fellow;
			(Low mileage is a must.)
			Required is great get-up-and-go
			(an engine with no rust).

			He should desire me in his lap.
			(Seat warmers feel so good.)
			He's gotta be in tiptop shape.
			(I'll know what's under the hood!)

			Low-maintenance, I value.
			(oil changes quarterly)
			He must look good and make me proud.
			(Buffed shine, I love to see.)
					
			Trustworthiness, I so desire.
			(Don't like those tow truck calls!)
			He must always keep pace with me.
			(Don't want a thing that stalls.)

Premium MemberExperienced Articulated Structured Prose

While life was in its spring, a stream
in full spate down memory lane from
a bygone time and place that experience
articulated into voices of poetry.
Love and desire,whose shadow ripple on
rich in melody, a poesie of flowers
floating on summer air and yet..
such conceits can be but a bitterbsweet
fancy  'twixt verse and poetry.

Experienced Lady

Innocence so was allured
                                             she a baby for a chocolate 
                                             captivated with the illusion
                                     thought life's it's own beautiful reason

                                       From straight to bend of back bone
                                          for charade of life no solution 
                                           carnal damage still  going on
                                        now suffering from agoraphobia

                                           Sense of cerebellum sinking
                                         no strength to go for a combat
                                      oh! her sacrificed heart is crushed
                                         cries again but with only vision

Drugs Should Be Experienced, But Sobriety Should Be Most Glorified

Eat shrooms til everythings pretty, pop molls til your caring and witty.
Smoke trees til your chill as the breeze, and drink to forget what you need.
Do all the trippys to think like the hippie, make sure your an expert and not be so picky.
Just let me know when your drug trip is over, so I can tell you how you are when your sober

The First Shower I Experienced This Year

Could feel the smiling and risen sun all gleeful and gay,
It had ushered  in me a beam of energy earlier today.

Could sense now at twilight it chuckle at the rising milky white moon,
And softly in me restore its light to make me excite and swoon.

The virgin cold watery sprays of the falling drops of rains,
Slowly washes  my worries off my face and down the drain.

The fragrance of wet mud and lush sweet garden breeze,
Blows into me, pure strength and happiness in me gradually increase.

As I walk bare feet, wet grassy paths of my garden gently,
My subdued muffed up feelings erupt over my heart’s brim intently…..

I let go of all feelings and experience  inside me a sensation so very light,
 my vision clears and thoughts to me for my life's path ahead  seem so very bright...

Premium MemberExperienced Only

Warehouse workers are needed right away.
Dishwashers are wanted in the kitchen today.
They need laborers who are in a transition.
Openings exist for many a position.

They need someone new to fry chickpeas.
There is an opening in a deli to slice cheese.
More help is needed to bus a table.
Wanted are applicants who are quite able.

New personnel are desired to sweep floors.
There are other openings for manual chores.
These are jobs for workers who are unskilled.
Why are these positions not being filled?
The reason for these vacancies does not make sense.
Employers only want people with experience.

The Worst 2 Days Ever, Experienced Monthly

Emotions scuttle through me
Like clouds across a sky
One minute I feel glee
The next I feel I'll die

My face is red and blotchy
My eyes feverishly bright
I know if I saw clearly
My face would be a fright

My hair feels like a birds nest
My memory's shot to hell
My sleep's when conversation's best
Naught could wake me but a fire bell

Guys say they cannot bear us
That we're snappish and we're rude
I know for sure they'd fuss
If THEY had to deal with these moods

The worst is the pain of the belly
Harmless cramps they say?
My abdomen's turned to jelly
Why should we suffer this way?

What a frustrating time we spend
Before our PMSing ends
