Guideline Poems | Examples

Free will to wield or just chill

Problems when park in,
To some they show a stop sign,
To some a guideline
From a well-wisher genuine--
To follow and feel so fine.

A beautiful girl,
To boy, a beauty to meet,
To wolf, meat to eat,
To sage, one with the same soul,
All three their fond flags unfurl. 

World is a garden
Where whiling time’s no evil,
And God, no warden,
Has bestowed man a free will
To wield, exert or just chill.

Puppets on Strings

Millions of tiny lights,

Sparking intentions.

Exposing dimensions,

Inside my mind.

Leading me to find,

It's complex design.

Millions of pathways,

Patterns and programming,

Stay Running alone.

Hidden beneath Linear Time,

A guideline that wasn't mine.

Like a puppet on strings,

I keep going for things.

Reaching out for something,

I know i Don't need.

Grabbing for a piece,

Holding onto nothing.

Running,

Toward distractions,

My Unconscious reaction.

Why does this happen,

It's Time to take action.

Where does it all begin?

Lights by the millions,

Start digging in,

Traveling,

Unraveling the Chord.

Interrupting the Discord,

Cutting the Strings,

A puppet no more,

I restore the connection,

Section by section.

Co-Create

Reality is your design,
A projection from the mind.
Your eyes the guideline,
For thoughts to find,
Their way into your outline.
Awaiting their time to shine,
As we Co-Create with the Divine.

Premium MemberThe True Meaning of Achieving

The way I see it, everyone is either an achiever or they’re not. There's no spectrum at all to this. Every single person in the world has different degrees, levels, and desires of what they want to achieve in the world and in their life. Some people want to achieve few things, some people want to achieve many things. Some people want to achieve small for the sake of simplicity in life, some people want to achieve high for the sake of success in life. Also, the true form of success in life is happiness. Moreover, nobody can always get what they want. Everybody is too different to the point that forming a general guideline as to what is worth and not worth achieving in life is completely and utterly impossible.

Love in love with love, heeds love’s call
The breeze that grazes one and all
Sublime is God’s embrace divine
Manifesting as a bliss squall

Joy’s enabled when we align
Gathering under God’s love sign
Fear and lust ebb, our false self dies
Whispers of conscience, our guideline

Fears end, we cease to weigh and size
That we’re God’s child, we realise
Remaining still in tranquil calm
Our soul’s light we actualise

Premium MemberPeace For Divine Rest

God grants peace* divine
Bearing heaven’s sign
Gives light
Beyond the sunshine
Vanquishing heart’s whine
To fight
Against distress twine
With Scripture guideline
So right.

Serene prayer flight
Along faith-propped might
Brings zest
To worship delight
Of gratitude height
Heart blest
Stays safe day and night
In the Lord’s clear sight
Not stressed.

Midst refreshing rest
For celestial quest
I’m fine
Nestling in Christ’s breast
Toward service crest
Align 
Striving for the best
While conquering test  
To shine.

*2Thessalonians 3:16 Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.

Beyond Compare

good morning

the entry below is a "goshi" format
before anyone makes a comment on the format
for all of us who have posted on various sites
know each site has their own definition guideline and rule
it should be universal but we all know it isn't
it escapes me from which site I found the format
more than one stanza would make it a goshi suite
just as a tanka suite or haiku and senyru suite

I would further like to say
I'm certain we have all joined in on the format challenges
writing an entry from a to z with every format
the two hardest for me will always be the chant royal and sonnet
for those of you who continuously write in the formats
blessings to you and you have my truest respect and admiration
thank you

with all this being said
here is my "goshi" format
one stanza with rhyming optional
and with no rule of meter or unmeter
I listed my entry under light verse poetry

"beyond compare"

have I told you the worth of your open arms
have I showed you my love and the all of it
not because of your smile or sparkling eyes
and not because we express dress to undress
with illumination you move me beyond compare

Premium MemberI See You My Valentine

Midst orchids, like jasmine vine,
I see you my valentine!
In each nook of my heart's shrine,
I see you my valentine...!

Each time when things go so fine,
I see you my valentine!
Though when things are not in line,
I see you my valentine...!

When in me for me I pine,
I see you my valentine!
Within my skin of new wine,
I see you my valentine...!

When any two things well twine,
I see you my valentine!
When from heavens there's some sign,
I see you my valentine...!

When I, within, well align,
I see you my valentine!
Even when things aren't benign,
I see you my valentine...!

When good and bad well combine, 
I see you my valentine!
When troubles wry webs design,
I see you my valentine...!

When love in me does enshrine,
I see you my valentine!
In each grim code and guideline,
I see you my valentine...!

As the greatest, the divine,
I see you my valentine!
As you’re in heavens so fine,
I see you my valentine...!!!

Dreaming With Eyes Open

(KELOGBs) 

Stop now, the challenge tag. 
Your works are mere living snag 
Bearing the giant cover flag. 

Tracking down chances' wills
Exporting thy Awesome quills 
Into many languages mills... 

Someone using your head;
Imagine you lay your bed, 
Another sleep tight dead. 

In style comfortably-
To dreaming appreciably
Thy weird nights veritably. 

As a smart team leader
Engaging virtual fender
Collate all engender. 

Truly, it should be fine. 
Hearts cheer gladly to assign
Bards' twine for tag's guideline. 

Where all are for the same, 
No one only dares to aim
Achieves without a team. 

May thy labors be vain! 
Who toys others' toils for gain. 
Subscribing not their pains... 

Let their lights become fright! 
That with joy, sadness alight
To dwell faulty delight... 

Design their vision's grave;
Timing piracy they crave... 
Rare languages engrave!

Amen!!!

Premium MemberBack To School

I sit behind the computer
scripting the daily lesson plan, 
while hoping there’s no intruder,
of them I’m not an eager fan.

A guest speaker comes to impart
something in boring monotone.
I hope he imparts something smart
or I’ll be reading on my phone.

A meeting scheduled noon today
is for, I’m not sure what or why!
The dull message makes my mind stray; 
for this once, I wish time would fly!

My pencils are sharpened just so.
The computer is securely encoded.
My thoughts are ready to outflow
and my brain is close to imploded.

My nails are done; my hair is styled;
new shoes I bought last month, or week.
Addled from the hard push so wild, 
the harried week seems rather bleak.

All tasks done as guideline bids.
Today is our convocation. 
I don’t know about all the kids,
But I need a long vacation!

The Cycle of Life and Death

Life is an origin creation 
Death is a final destination. 

Someone says, life depends on humans' fate
But for me, life depends on how you to create. 
Thinking how to against the destiny
But in the end, you'll need to face the reality.

Says, fate believers have faith like an open shrine
Like life as nice as fine, death as a destined sign. 
Fate exists, but it is not indubitable guideline. 

Like some spiritually martial I read and saw
Within the operation of the heavenly devine law
Even the best destiny will have always some flaw.

The world is always moving.
The universe repeatedly rotating. 
Like strength and weakness are hard to separate
Life and death will eventually meet. 

Human is mortal but perpetual
Soul is mystical but eternal. 
Both of them are imperishable
As life and death unceasingly cycle.

It Is Necessary To Accept the Transformations

Our demand  is to accept the novelty,
         we must recognize
         All things in this world
         has expiration date...
         We must disuse matter
         already worn..
         let's live with this guideline,
         this wisdom...
