Inefficient Poems | Examples


Meat

You crave my honey-glazed legs,
relish my breasts with practiced flair.
You chip my wings mid-conversation,
While dissecting my dressing,
Too raunchy, too clingy
never quite suited to your taste.

You want me plated just right:
thighs weighed in grams,
skin stretched to your appetite,
injected for volume, deboned for ease.
my fear tenderized for flavor.

Still, palate demands more
side dishes to seasoned
to disguise the ravine taste buds.

I am your blistered indulgence,
charred silhouette served hot,
just a piece of meat.

But my journey to the plate
lasted sixty days crammed,
in a A4 sized cage
under heat lamps.
I cried once. But here,
crying is considered inefficient.
They said my flesh would serve a heavenly purpose-
add protein to your ambition.
But even my bones bore devotion
chewed, splintered and sucked clean.

Paraclete

I feel him there all day and night.
In my dreams, he speaks to me and makes my burden light.

His voice is like a soft and beautiful cymbal.
His turn of phrase makes my heart quick and my mind nimble.

His righteous utterance of confidence during the day,(sigh) shows me the way.

In retrospect, he was always there during my jejunity.
My father left me and my mother was not caring enough to love me.

He laid his finger on my heart and I felt his love.
His sweet and indomitable breath guided me to rise above.

I was abused by many antagonists and callous people over the years.
He fed me the fruit of his righteousness and chased away my fears.

He has made my life bountiful.
He has rectified my inefficient life so that I can become skillful.

In my winter solstice, I feel that time is nearing the fall of my withering and fermenting flesh to the earth.
My prayer is that my soul will bloom into immortal mirth.

Supremacy

“their freedom of width, yet not of height 
Descends, through the transpiring fright 
Which enraptured them, in a cage of night 
, never once, I would abide 
Preachings on the repugnant walls 
 That seems to repulse the oppugnant  scales
That never pleased the reluctant deals
 Our seats of blank, yet never brown
 Generalize the glistening rounds 
 Defining their  conditioning bounds
 While they plead their case while it is already found
 Why? Have I not been Forthright?
Or the inhumane seem to be sincere with their smites?
their aggression seems to have been deluded with oppression 
Always retelling their feeble progression 
Yet, their misconceptions dominates their suppression 
As they limit out my gushing faith 
It remarks a cackling date 
Which is what they used, to cover their inefficient wait”

Ready To Hear Mueller Review

Ready To Hear Mueller Review

Hearing Mueller review this is reminiscent,
Being big play boy presume with penchant;
Walks slow;
Laurels low,
And not only that he has been inefficient.

Either Intellectually Deficient Or Inefficient

Eyes see moments of our birth
As little helpless babies with no neck to support our big heads
Which push society around as they grow in girth
When we fuss and kick mom’s in beds  

Where once further physical development occurs
Eyes see us learning to crawl
In tandem with fate that seldom errs
As our fantasy indulges in a brawl

With siblings as eyes see us mumbling a syllable here, another syllable there
All the while driving our moms nuts
When we suckle colostrum and milk from breasts with an air
Of undiminished ubris as moms become butts

Of the unfunny jokes we crack
With unabashed joy, thinking the world a happy
Venue where blues in overdose we pack
To make family members unhappy

When from school moms cry
Despairing that we can’t construct a simple sentence in correct English
At the same time as in Arithmetic we try
Harder our sums and triangle perimeter calculations on time to finish

Prompting moms to wonder if their superior genes
Live in our mediocre intelligence quotient
Whose needles and pins
Portray a number of us either as intellectually deficient or inefficient.

If I Die Now

Now-a-days
I feel like passing on,
My heart is dripping down.
Being faded, inefficient, 
Blood booms back to my feeling.
However I live, live always with 
All my dreams, decorum, disabilities
And with the divergences I hold.  
If I die now, a kingdom will fall,
Fall it silently, likely leaving nobody liberated.
Hence I'm without charge, in passing away
Setting for nothing, because I am dying.

Bicycle and Man's Ignorance

bicycle shows ignorance of man
it summarizes man’s limited status
the most inefficient machine made
tires burst as often as possible
spokes break with no warning
frictions are all over the joints
chain breaks and breaks and breaks
very unstable two-wheeled machine
humans have fallen and broken limps
but man still uses the bicycle
as one of best machines invented
and walks with nose in the air!

Premium MemberThis Lighthouse Is Blind

A lighthouse essential unattended
Seems only yesterday unaffected 
Stood crucial organized significant
Now unkept completely inefficient.

Vines climbing assuming occupation
by onslaught internal saturation
A beacon important enlightening
Blind wanting forever agonizing.

Spite

Just a little word with
So many guises 

Incoherent inefficient ineffective reaction
Inconsistent blame 
Vengeful malaise
Conscious disregard 
Blameless resolve
Sanctimonious irksome indifference
Creative revenge 
Wreckage for sport 
Intensive bigotry
Hyperbolic generalisation
Disinterestedness
Complacent autocratic dogma
Crass philistine opportunism
Nimble forgetfulness
Vigorous ignorant diatribe
Impotent nostalgia

All in a day’s work for those
Whose envy knows no bound

Age and Experience

Catharsis
By Carolyn Devonshire

heart
wisdom
comes with age
experience
so many emotions and events stored
flushed quickly from memory to my page
release, let go
catharsis
gives me
peace

Age and Experience

Carolyn's poem Catharsis had special meaning to me because we grew to be friends.
Two souls sharing emotions freely has broadened my eternal perspective. 
Encouragements Carolyn has given helped me believe in myself.
I am very grateful for her step-by-step guidance to publishing.
Self-respect reflected upon an inefficient past until her.
Looking deeper into myself and caring, we realized a unique closeness.
Friendship is a two way street, where love meets in the middle.
Carolyn has been a loved and special friend of mine for several years.
I hope to have been of value to her in my own way as she has also been -
Wisdom gained through sharing experiences...and peace.

The American In Me

Inside me I see
Nothing perfect, nothing great
Just a cog set in place 
To turn at will and make haste

Influenced by the noisy machines 
That shine a light glisten and gleam 
They make us into zombie cats.
We sit complacent on their laps

All the while buying more
Lost without the Wal-Mart store
Telling us they are the best
Making us spend our checks 

Just to crawl back 
The next day
To our cog spots
Put in place

Turing again for the machine 
Until it wakes and realizes 
It doesn’t need 
Something so low tech and inefficient 
And so we are tossed…

Believe What You Want.....

Here...hear,

We'll just stick to the simple stuff
the harmless,disstressful,and not so rough

Fore whom in this Zoo has broadened views
getting screwed and retooled by inefficient schools

Distraught thoughts in anger are wrought
by those who bought and got took by the onslaught

Some poets try to hide behind their words
revealing their nature and how deeply scared
they are,and by far,the worst is yet to come
to some,without gumption and neurotic presumptions
don't mince words,then wince like a worm
you may not survive this ungodly term

So....the Bell has rung on a scottish rite
distastefully displaying a ringing fight

But...even the liberty bell got cracked
a reminder of growing pains so we don't lack......
