Illing Poems | Examples

Ink - Poi

Sorrows slowly release
internal inflictions to
form poetic mouthpiece

Revealing what's true
Narrating through verse
Expressing your view

Life can immerse
Killing your peace
Let words disperse

Life

Written: April 22, 2024 For Matt Caliri Acrostic Contest

                  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Life entails success over stress without distress
Inviting the moon, even if missed, leads to stars
Filling a dream, the soul is stronger than all else
Evolving delight and trust provide you the best

Sunflowers

Separated from source, feel incomplete
Until we nestle in tranquil silence 
Noise external fades away at Gods feet
Filling soul with bliss in joyful parlance 
Layered delight, day and night, in vibrant dance
Osmotic love caress in renewal
Wafting fragrance, soft currents toroidal
Envelopes presence in gentle embrace
Rapture unending, as Gods miracle
Suffusing form, as divine bestowed grace

Coming Back Home

Craving to be back where I belong
Only place my heart breaks into song
Memories come flooding through my mind
Imitating days I left behind.
Nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Guess that's why you're always home to me.

Been to many places far and wide
And I've missed your presence by my side.
Catching planes and working till I'm through
Killing time till I get back to you.

Hope it won't be long before we meet
Only you can make my life complete.
Missing you each day that we're apart
Even though you're ever in my heart.


(I had a country-style tune in my head writing this with a pause of 3 extra beats at the end of each line)

Neatness Protocol

N-eatness protocol cleans
I-nvisible dirt of the devil; 
K-illing the pandemic plague
K-eeps one from being
I-ll.

G-et neatness protocol
I-nto the glorious victory; 
O-bliterate the vicious
V-irus of morbid mystery.
A-pply the health standard, 
N-icely use the alcohol; 
N-ew normal now employs
I-ts neatness protocol.

Stop the Rain

E-arly morning sun rises, 
F-illing the day with light; 
R-ed rays from up above
E-liminate the cold
N-ight.

G-lowing gleams and glints
U-nderneath the blue sky
C-ause a thousand thrill, 
I-nclement clime passes by.
L-et eighth December morn
A-llow you to see the lane; 
T-he clouds there get white, 
A-iming to stop the
R-ain.

Or Else the Dog Will Run

M-onday birth celebration 
I-s delightful and grand; 
T-hirtieth of January, 
C-omfort is at 
H-and. 

V-ile weather has turned 
I-nto a warm sunny day; 
L-ight above the horizon 
L-ets the fog fade away. 
A-llow the pet to stay, 
F-illing his tail with fun; 
L-et him feel the love, 
O-r else the dog will 
R-un.

Not Happening: Got Everything

E-njoy success         N-ot happening   S-ee how tough it is
N-oted writer           I-nner peace       E-ver scribe anything wise
L-otsa money           R-eality appears  L-ittle worth in lies
I-nteresting speaker V-ery introspect   F-inding your own value
G-reat thinker          A-ware of self      A-t what point you realize
H-eroic advocate      N-otices feelings  W-here your courage is
T-op player              A-dept listener     A-lways not into winning
E-xpensive car         A-ctually present  K-arma has the keys
N-otable leader        W-illing helper      E-veryone can follow
M-ore attractive        A-bout facades     N-ature's true surprise
E-xpert analyst         I-ntense focus      I-nsight springs within
N-atural champion    T-rue heart          N-oticing other's lives
T-enacious fighter     S-ilent friend       G-ot everything
