Mediocrity Poems

Mediocrity

Write a poem
show poetic flare!
But not too deep
not too bright
surface is easier
to share – you can
take a reader to water...
but, Lord!~ you can make
one drink – too complicated
will just make a lazy
eye blink….

MORE MEDIOCRITY

MORE MEDIOCRITY

Targets can be quantitative
But then, enough may be enough
Despite one being creative
Targets can be quantitative
What happened to qualitative
There’s plenty of adequate stuff
Targets can be quantitative
But then, enough may be enough

Spurning Mediocrity

Competition ...
what keeps us alive
Sharpening our edges
fueling our drive

Setting new benchmarks
pushing the bar
Forever defining
— just who we are

(Dreamsleep: December, 2024)

mediocrity is accepted

is appearing as doing the right thing
                            at the  
expense of those that do the right thing

has the point been reached 
     

Poetic Mediocrity

I wish I was a Poet,
but my tools are far and few,
if you could just read them,
you would know its true.

My rhymes they don't flow easy,
my rhythms sometimes flat,
I am not a poet,
its as simple as that.

I read from other poets,
the answer's plain to see,
my mediocre talents,
are not real poetry.

I try my best to hide

Mediocrity

I'm an ordinary sort...
Nothing much to see.
No shining star to mark my space...
No glory there to be.

I've lived my life as best I could
With few laurels to provide.
Just one who walks in whispers
With mediocrity as my guide.

But times they are a changing
As normality bids adieu.
There are malcontents who flourish...
What's a common man to do?

With a

Dreams

Dreams.
I want to stand out
To be looked up to
Revered and praised
I want my live to live on
Be a member of history
Do something memorable
Achieve a mythical goal
Invent the saviour of man
Fly faster - go deeper
Reach the centre of the earth
Go into outer space
Land and colonise planets
Be the real Captain Kirk
Write the perfect song
Act; a tear jerking

Mediocrity

I ask thee, the one in heavens,
Why you peek,
Through the golden cracks of the sky,
As I flow, like a vagabond river,
To vanish into the sea of death,
As I live and fall, like jasmines,
Forever lost in tombs of dust.

I ask thee and thy silence,
Why you peek,
Through the stars in the darkest nights,
As I stand, an insignificant

Pulling others down is implied admission of mediocrity

A Poet Needs Compatriots

There is magic in life, but you must let go of anyone,out to destroy your soul.
Of these there are a plethora. 
Are they descendants of Sodom and Gemmorah ?

These poets…simply cannot let you joyfully be!
Unless, your ideas match theirs in tandem, in modern poetry, do you see?
Dare you be different, they turn against you, indeed,

The Creatures of Splendid Mediocrity

Can we admit to failure?
Are you capable of accepting defeat?
Everything works out in the long run,
So its fate that brought you where you are.
A series of mishaps,
Fumbling around in the dark,
Every unfinished sentence,
It all leads to you.
Convinced by the nature of existence,
You believe it to have been a design.
After all you are alive,
Are you not?
And

They Also Ran

Ever since the world began
there were those who 'also ran.'
Not for them the highest grades,
not for them great accolades.
Mediocrity rarely shatter.
That they ran is what most matters.

Mediocrity

Blended belongings
Show your Light shining through
How do fools survive?

'excellence' That's Mediocrity

We all pay for dumbing down
  educational standards all around
from thriving metropolis to sleepy small town

Incompetency reigns throughout customer service
  Doctors' inaccurate diagnoses make patients nervous
Corporation mission statements, worthless lip service

It starts in the classroom, where teachers won't demand
  if you want to say something, first raise your hand
Then later on, when

Rushing Toward Mediocrity

Let’s all just be average,
no rich and no poor

Excuses our quotient,
single digits the score

Masquerading as fairness,
our heritage veiled

In lock step we march,
voices mute—nothing hailed
