Mockery Poems | Examples

Politically Speaking

A word or two about my view of the politicians
we presumably put in positions of power
hobbyists bought and paid for under the table
catering to manipulating lobbyists by the hour
where saying nothing yet flapping their gums
offending no one when sitting on the fence
doing naught but wagging their tongues
and all the while protesting their innocence
dodging the bullet by ducking the question 
avoiding the topic with digression
self-serving landing votes with glad-handing
fingers firmly crossed behind the back
conscience-free they sleep well at night
there's nothing (short of gun) can be done to keep them on track
those more than a few who are quite literally
caught red-handed with their pants down
making a mockery of you and me
should be tarred feathered and run out of town

Premium Member The Mockery Garden

The girl, new, fresh;
         wandered innocently 
   through the mockery;
             the type the English 
      are so fond of building.
Fronds of false friendship 
brushed against her virgin skin
        leaving seeds of doubt 
  within her delicate folds,
        to be harvested;
                in time.
She was tempted
       by the alluring,
            plump, red fruit;
  whose juices now mingled
           with her blood
       upon the thousand
                tiny cuts
     their barbs had made.
And as she walked
            the brambles
      rustling whispers
                       of deceit 
 followed in her shadow.
She quickly turned around
            to find
         a glorious array
               of Gladioli
      their bright colors 
    embroidered by the sun;
                   in the breeze
bobbing their approval.

Personal Profundity

Three men sit in a room.

One is incredibly smart.

Another has common sense.

The third has only a pen, a mirror, and the irksome desire to be profound.

He, I am sure, is the poet.


Premium Member Making a Mockery

Less than flattering waistline
    mocks ever-thinning hairline

  Disappearing gray matter
    makes head look even fatter

A Surgeon and a Church Fight

Over square miles a unique surgeon
In the West African sub-region:
Clearly,the tower in their region;
Names of the other knives in dungeon...

"Daddy,will I ever be like John
Now and again in Germany's Bonn ?"
But surgeon is facing religion
And religion: "I'll defeat you, John:
For you,surely,coming with legion,
Which shall never fail to you bludgeon"
It's surgery for delivery 
To The Church's Christ's needless mockery.

Boniface With a Bony Face

I saw Bill Boniface
With a matching bony face
That could make one do a race
To disappear without trace!

Boniface womanizer:
Vocation, vulcanizer …
And women check profession!
Against future Recession;
Also, Facial Appearance
For Bed-Time Love Surveillance …

So, Boniface, where are we?
Whatever I say agree:
Faultless Plastic Surgery
To contain The Mockery …

And Goodbye to god Vulcan,
Because you know that you can!


Mockery

Tongue is sharpened by stiff disdain;
using insult that causes pain.
Like a dagger that cuts the vein
which victim’s heart cannot contain
for ridicule and scorn remain.

Damn Those Boys

Damn those boys, those idiots, who,
with psychedelic lights flashing on blank faces
nurse their drinks, slowly caress glasses,
joke crudely with their friends —
while I yearn.

Damn you, you cowards, who,
refuse to develop contact
who hide in dark corners
who sit on high bar stools
who tear out my heart —
without knowing.

Divorce

The biggest mockery of what  couples have one other told,
Impressing a play acting, very bold
To conceal some sure, future bickering
From a supportive solemn gathering.

Spouses once dying to see each other’s nudity
Now abhor each other’s faces,
The other one an outright  oddity
That looks a bit tolerable behind laces…

A time Satan proves himself more profound
Than his shallow critics could ever imagine,
Himself taking as duty-bound
To install between partners the widest margin.

It’s an interrupted journey on the marital highway,
A keeping of a connubial affair at bay:
A once blossoming cooperation
Giving way to life-long separation.

Divorce, the fullest licence gives to either party
To openly crush one’s  lips against a new Sweetie’s,
Even with one’s  Ex  embarrassingly nearby;
An asking of “Hot Tears” to stand by.

A Well Engineered Poem

See the crying of the poet,
I think he's angry at the mowatt.

He finds it hard to see the troll,
Overshadowed by the tiny sausage roll.

Who is that hating near the Trump?
I think she'd like to eat the diffusion pump.

She is but a yellow abbess,
Admired as she sits upon a labus.

Her cold car is just a snot,
It needs no gas, it runs on lot.

She's not alone she brings a Bible,
a pet snake, and lots of geibel.

The snake likes to chase a God,
Especially one that's in the assad.

The poet shudders at the painful catholic
He want to leave but she wants the non-catholic.

Fire Out of the Rock

They stumble and fell,
Before a mighty wind.
The whole realm of hell 
Came down from heaven.

In a blinding moment
of unity, the world ignites.
The force of discouragement
Surface with human rights.

The bitter spark we attract   
Flames ablaze set alight.  
Holy Fire out of the rock 
Angels and demons’ delight.

When we stumble and fall
Into snares of mockery traps.
The temptation is a rallying call
To see believers’ collapse.

Shame is more potent
Then the battle of the mind,
Losing ground before penitent
Takes a firmer stand.

Better Enemy

There is no better enemy than ones’ loving family and friends
For it is they who know all the ifs' and where your troubles begin
No need to look outward but to only look within
The company of those that surprisingly come to mind
They who come around you either often or all the time
They say they’ll support and stand by You _ thick or thin
Truth is they’re only present _ to glorify your end
How else will they assure you’ll see their smirky sideways grin.

You’re prepared for your foes to come from where __ who really knows?
You know only heaven can tell what evils can compel
The force of ill-fate for you to partake
From their greed, jealousy, and hate
They’re astounded by your struggles, your turmoil, and your woes.
All the pleasure earned and reaped by no better foes

Strange isn’t it that when you crawl out from under your bed
No voices of cheers but sneers and jeers heard in its’ stead
Ridicule and mockery, should haves and could haves ...
If I’d known better; I surely would have _
Not confide in most of those around me.
For the last thing, I need _ is a better enemy.

Premium Member Repeated Mockery

Have mercy oh! priest 
To God through Mary let my plea 
Seven times more my sins 
I fear I must do it again. 

I sinned again o priest,
And must to this alter pray 
in your ears all my vile secrets  
Forgive me and through Mary to the lord. 

I lied o priest, 
I crawled in the dark to the red zones
I covet a neighbour’s good also, 
as I have done in the past 
If you would, oh! Priest
Send my confession to Mary again
Tell all, that hides within. 

Take this confession for today, 
and all ills before the next, 
Let me from this alter depart  
To new woes as I this bondage demands. 

This is my prayer 
To Hail Mary, parcelled by the priest.

Hillary

Hillary 
Mean, cold hearted, and calculating.
A socialist, self-serving wannabe.
Bill thinks she is emasculating
And to the office she is mockery.

Liar, liar, her pants on fire,
Corrupt and above the law.
I think she’s in it for the power
From her ticket she should withdraw.

Opponents question her credibility
And think she is a pathetic demon wench
She would just screw up our economy
And her lust for power would not be quenched.

Premium Member Horrible Dream

When a kiss puts out the sun.
There is nothing left but the so called fun.
I want to run, I want to hide, I just want to die.
All the relentless nights provide a longing for home.
There is no way back I'm always alone.
My purity is gone, I'm on my own
searching for some kind of home.
Emotionlessly, I'm waiting for dawn.
What last night just went on.
No one will know, no one will tell.
Is this just a living hell.
Making it fast making it slow.
I'm spent but know nobody knows.
How sad it seems when holding hands
and I'm alone in this here land.
I want to shout, I want to scream.
What a mockery of love it does seem.
I can't see you, you can't see me.
No in between is sought or seen.
I can't look back what a horrible dream.
