Long Naughts Poems

HEROES

Near somber guards, units of children heap 
dead leaves, naive to any else fallen.
Friend, you chuckle, but your posture speaks
of duty on this day of contradictions.

Firefighters bow heads in silent paean, 
while polished trucks stand...

History talks about the Seven Wonders?
But look around what do you see
Our Seven Wonders of Modern times
Are all there for thee.

Many have been here for thousands of years
Given many a thought, many a fear
They are...

White powdered pill, help me stop the way I feel
Give me the will, show me something real 

Take a pile let's sleep a little while
My head on the kitchen tile, if only I went the...

She's not breathing,
I Hope she does in a matter of time,
Right now she's seething,
From all the pain she holds inside,
And now I'm grieving,
For the loss of another beautiful mind,
But reminds me we can all fall...

Blinkered

Out amongst the milky way
Where the planets walk in silence
There does start a brand new day
It’s an every day occurrence

Blinkered we are by the science
Nothing lives out there they say
Have to listen be compliant
Or get...

A pale moment to reflect everything...
Any recess in our past lifetime
~~A memory is creating ~~
preserved in a bottle with sweet sublime

Any recess in our past lifetime
and beauty from hereafter was
preserved in a bottle with sweet...

Without fiery passion, 
there is no poetry – Oh,
there are jingles of sorts!
jingles of naughts – 
Limericks so on, and on 
and on – Rhymes two
three and four, or as many
more; but, for a lyric...

I’m sure you have a hobby,
A passion of some sort,
Some people might like biking,
Others might like naughts.

Although some people might think,
Gardening is the best,
For me I think chess is solely the best,
To the point where...

FASTER THAN NIGHT
In seeking ways to beat the speed of light,
what folly might be there, to let it be,

to never realize a dream the warp can see.

All over the world there's political races
All over the world there is trouble and tyranny
All over the worrld I see gruesome anarchy

Heavy eyes too tired for dreaming
and right now, even for sleeping.

Hand wanting to write but thoughts
and inspirations are at naughts.

No energy to do anything except blink.
Brains been on overdrive this week at work I think.

Us
The poets on this site
All individuals we are
Some, even neighbours, but many from afar
We look through different eyes
Our brains have different thoughts
But we all endeavour and shine
What we write are never naughts.
 
We come from...

Seeds, they sprout
Sprouts they grow
To the image
Copied below

Descendants rise 
Far above
The quagmire
Of our love

Arise and be
All you can
Be inspired
Be a man

Hesitation
Reflects doubt
Direction
Down the spout

Deliberation
Reflects thought
Lead beyond
Needless naughts

Arise and be
All you can
Be desired
Be woman

Descendants rise
From the...
