Les Poems - Poems about Les

A double murderer Shot before a firing squad Justice or revenge? An eye for an eye So, the old law book conveys Punishment for sin Society’s way To rid town square of wrongs Yet, death row awaits The hangman stands by The masses don’t know his name Pulls the trap door latch The cycle repeats With no real decrease in crime No one ever wins Justice will make...

Les Miserable I walked and walked down a steep ravine and came across a village has forgotten by time by a road that evaded dwellings A track not trodden among boulders and roofs made of canes. skinny women with empty breasts sat on the bough of trees waiting for someone to enter their loss of love While telling their idiot...

Les Braves (Iambic Pentameter) Tan sands conceal deep furrows of their pain, As churned emotions scream on the light breeze. The rushing lather bubbles with red stain, While mortar clouds suppress the dying wheeze, That madly dared to reach the cliffs in vain. The hostile bluff still taunts a flying skein, Where warriors bravely tried to scale the crest. The rock secretes long tales...

I have such a miserable face, Grimacing and frowning, a disgrace, I am a disgrace to the human race Who suffers by looking at this sad face. Why do I always wear a frown? What right have I to feel so down, I am as fortunate as can be, Living in a free country. There are countries, far and wide, Where they sadly have...

Sous les doux rayons du soleil j’apprécie ce paysage si pur, ces clochettes de l’espoir éveillent la somnolence de la nature. 28.03.2022...

Les vieux poèmes sont comme de vieilles chaussures Que nous refusons de jeter au fond des fissures Comme les vieilles pensées que nous ne pouvons pas ignorer Ou les vieilles routes que nous aimons naviguer. Les vieux poèmes sont maintenant très renommés Comme de vieilles pantoufles confortables Des témoins de nombreuses histoires autour de la table Où grand-mère s'est assise autrefois avec...

Late, the morning glories rise passionate, royal, magenta blooms trumpeting, helloes and goodbyes; novice neophytes falling into lavender blush dream states succumbing to a mellowed change in weather cooler days awakened by pale aging sunlight soft, restless breezes in the trees shedding leaves; twilight for the foliage a lurid golden year half-light dulcet dawns, scarlet carmine sunsets,...
