Proportional Poems | Examples

Our One Time Rosy

She arrived at 3pm on the dot
coming anywhere other than Greater Manchester
her northern accent was hard to decipher
She could recognise a meter oak
but had no time for Robinas
She enquired why guys were into figures
after i mentioned my SL120 record player

She was fiercely Red/ Green
believing in mandated proportional representation
She had a German Granny
and could understand, but not speak Deutsch
She could only thank me for a chat
not wishing for a relationship
my efforts thwarted
no green shoots

Polo Neck

I got a polo neck jumper.
She said they were in.
Pep wears one.
He hasn’t manboobs.
Ribbed, dark grey.
Tighter than it should of been.
With a vintage leather, black jacket.
Sophisticated,continental, 
so I bought a pain au chocolate.
From Greggs.
I think he thought I was francais as
I ordered and added si vous plait.
Then blew it by being unable to resist a sausage roll.
Which later I found out to be rouleau de saucisse, not un sausage roll, si vous plait.

“What the bollocks do you look like?”
“Where’s the Milk tray?”
were the first comments at the pub.
But their jealousy was obvious and measurable, being directly proportional to the amount of beer spat out as I walked in.
I ordered a Pernod chaser with my pint of pale ale, small steps.

To Mommee To Be Ias

Ensure that you should not lose thy glamour
Among thy colleagues full of honour

For long term image is proportional direct
To one’s investment in present

Better focus on the noblest goal
Let me out this advice dole

Want you occupy throne supreme
Thus making thee reach position extreme

Being thy teacher it’s my role
No matter what you feel about Amol

Come on be just up-to-second
Prepare for IAS being fecund

Today’s toil is thy fortune
Of course in future you attune..!!

Premium MemberTwas the Night Before Christmas Stumbling Fallen Santa-

Twas the night before Christmas;
As Mrs. Klaus was washing dinner dishes;
Santa is at the workshop;
He’s got a cold, sucking on cough-drop;

While walking through the snow;
Frozen his left foot pinky-toe;
Had too much cough syrup;
Was so dizzy leaving fell on reindeer stirrups?

Up see, daisy Santa what process ya…
To be stumble fall Newton’s second law (ha ha);
Swollen, fatten solid mass net force fallen;
Proportional to a Mack-truck oops Reindeer runnin;

Twas the night before Christmas;
The phone rings an Elf has called her;
As Mrs. Klaus was drying those dishes;
Toymaker say’s Santa’s out he’s trip and fallen;

Like a drunken man who’s no longer standing?
Broken hand, bruised leg blacken eye ,
            --oops! guess wasn’t a happy landing;

Women ,The Real Warriors

Being a Woman,is always a feel of pride!
As i write this statement too,,, It’s a goose bump moment !!
Despite all the challenges,trauma, that she faces in the current society, she still remains strong and heads held high !!
Not being biased here,but women are born with more inner strength,wisdom and they are naturally way ahead !
They have this natural trait to bring in logic in any field they are into !
From space science to home science we find women ruling the world,
In the current era, there is no such field where women is not an achiever !
To put in a nutshell, wen empowerment is proportional to the growth of the Nation and hence the World,

Let's take a moment to applaud the goddess shakthi (Indian lady God) alive in every lady !

Premium MemberInebriate

Insanity constantly enslaves and mocks
No break, no pause, the appetite always knocks
Enough, never registers, his life, it sucks
Beer and gin, in his long gut line up and flock
Rich pockets, poor soul, behind the prison’s lock
Inversely proportional life, on the pluck
Always emptying bottles all round the clock
Time is in motion but his, suffers a block
End of this story is bottom of the rock

Premium MemberThe Debtor Card

those in charge hope,
plan for a cashless society
that they may more easily mold
their consumers variety

nations of debtors
card holders
vying and crying
for possessions

taxes and prices sliding
proportional to income
with no way out
then things fixed

the cashshelless society
no cash savings
no piggy bank
just card-dollar stores

what ! (excuse my language)

Premium MemberImagination

I know I often rail against science--
but, actually, I love it!
Started with science,
the grasp was easier
and the tangible truth
pleasant when sweet
like the bitter/sour
proportional to 
my elicited response--

and science lead me to spirit;
to a driving force
without boundaries--
memories spanning generations:

In the animal
we call them instinct;

in the human,
we call them
religion and god--

My preference is
to speak to them direct,
a rapport 
exceeding 
the universe….

Hope Against Hope

I yield to unknown sound
Rhythm that blossom my heart 
Swing arm with tangle legs
Accelerating directly proportional to the echo
My head ache as it beat twice as rock tempo
I perceived peril ahead
Roaring of lion nature in humanity
Seeking for whom to devour
I am a prey without rescuer
Fears grab me as the thought of u-turn occupied my heart
Standing at Y junction
To my right a kingdom await me yet the road is daredevil
 My Left preaches infatuation
I devour all obstacles at the right to visit the kingdom
I hope against hope as I journey through
Behold the torment vanish quickly
My eyes behold beauty this kingdom in extraordinary manner
 Finally I saw Him seating on thrown and my love seating at His right hand
'Welcome to come' He said
I sang praises unto my love
Finally I am home

Premium MemberThe Size of My Ears

it appears
with the passing 
of the years 
that the pouring out 
of my tears 
seems to grow 
in proportion 
to the size 
and hair of my ears

it appears
with the passing 
of the years 
that the size 
and hair of my ears
seems to grow 
in proportion 
to the increases
in my fears

It also appears
with the passing 
of the years 
that the increase 
in my fears 
is proportional to the increases
in my tears  
the size and hair of
the ears
and in reverse proportion
to what I hear

Kindness Is Bliss

Kindness is bliss.

Compassion spontaneously is innate,
Though difficult to imbibe,
Bet me ,it is simplest to realize.
Today morning,I made an orphan smile,
Believe me,the pleasure I felt was inexpressible,
My mom offered clothes to a beggar in rags,
The mirthful beggar left happily,
Mom in return felt happy too,
Why not out of courtesy try cheering a sad  friend
I'm sure,you will feel at peace,
Kindness is directly proportional to happiness, 
You practise  it  and your happiness  will be tenfold,
Kindness is a great virtue that vibrates positive energy.
Benefaction done selflessly  has greater impact,
It takes more muscles to frown than smile,
Smile to old people,it creates a good stimulus,
It never goes futile,
Feed stray animals..results are so automatic.
If you show kindness to plants,
They grow larger and bear more fruits,
Randomn acts of kindness  cause,
a series of emotions for good.


Contest- Randomn acts of kindness.

Proportionality


Was I projected when you inversed my motion?
Like gravity you pulled me down to earth
I became relative to your perspective
Prevented denial of my proportional thoughts
Internally bleeding directly from the source 
Proportion of blood to water I was saturated

Procrastination decreased my functionality
Proportional to thee
Thy remained stationery like Newton the first
I repelled electrostatic forces
living in denial like Inertia
As generators,the rotation is alternating

The relationship reversed like AC current
The direct proportionality is somehow altered 
Anti nor cyclonic the Coriolis forces deflects
Proportionally direct will reach the destination
For bipedalism sapiens composition
Mass reduces motion

Life On Mars

Scientists have found water
  creates new life through
They have found lands to live
  share lives together
Increased day length of 24 hrs 37 mins
  acquire plenty of time 
Length of the year is 687 earth days
   twice as long as Earth
Two beautiful moons, Phobos and Deibos
   beauty at its peak
We would weigh less on mars
   Indirectly proportional to the chocolates I eat
What else I need?
Yet there is something missing
It's my Mother Earth
How could I leave her?
Its time to keep her happy
