Periscopes Poems | Examples


Tears of a Valiant Soldier

She wept for this cause, 
They couldn’t see beyond the present,
They didn’t deem it an urgent course,
While few are willing to listen, the majority choose to resent.

They say that how could a child’s eye see beyond the wall,
They are also not without their periscopes,
She can envisage their fall,
It’s like viewing falling meteorites through telescopes.
 
A doomsday disaster,
All-inclusive none the master.

Scientists peer in telescopes
  microscopes, periscopes
It's a marvel what they see

I've no need of their equipment
  Au Natural's enough for me

Premium MemberOcean Dream

from the sandy bottom
up periscopes 
from depths,
hidden in the sea 
of thoughts,
through an ocean 
of memories

scanning the distant horizon,
in vision 
my rising sun
as my waters swell
a saviour,
my soul motions

drifting a wave,
dreaming 
beautiful sunshine
drop anchor,
paradise with palm trees,

the ocean calls
touching beautiful colour
handing out 
mother pearl,
this treasure 
from deep

my mutiny 
abandon ship,
lost 
on this island,
alone with you

upon the rocks
on this sandy shore
I sit 
holding hands

in the spray
of beauty
like a rainbow
colour of light
you

to romance
the very stones
on the rocks 
that you sit
merman
calling to you

My Anna Pavlova With Love

Resonating magnificent resplendencies in such rhapsodies..
Resonant amid her beauty's glowing renaissance as resurrection ?
Lost opaque dreams awakening to find these vibrant colours as if van Gogh 
Himself had been summoned through this periscopes visions ? Brilliant brushings 
Aside passions poured about viles of a rebirths casting; callings transposed from atop 
Vestiges love laced canvas ? Splashing's, spheres now captured within a concerto's reprise.

Self-Esteem (Free Verse Improv)

At first, you compare, like side-by-side 
metronome tick and tock from (not) you to you and back.

At second tick, brick-by-brick are towers built in defense
against non-existent foes.  A miner's diligence, it takes
to dig beneath in roundabout ways; to catch off guard, 
defenses down.

At third tock, through periscopes you peer
submerged in oceans never mapped, gone
off to uninvited parties on battleboats in sailor 
hats, avoiding uncalled, unreal, unpassable 
muster.

At last (finè) alarm clock sounds
and wakes you up to morning self-esteem -
not generically from factory but naturally old-fashion
style with farmer's soil plus rain and sun,
with omega-3.
