Reedited Poems | Examples

Ageing means no turning back the clock
 And the road ahead is an uncertain path
Upside is you can drive a chair that rock
Shriek streak freak rambling psychopath

HELPLESS

               Honored moral values to support and guide.
               Earnest reverence showed way on prediction.
               Lost being encompassed by malice, enmity and greed.
               Perturbed in dismay, but had to proceed under consternation.
               Locked in deep apathy to compromise or embrace.
               Emotion in unearthliness sighed to seek solace.
               Sinking in disappointment and despondence
               Strong sense of hopelessness hankering for a solution.

BEAUTY IN BLUE

                     Blue Lagoon merging in green ocean,
                         Azure sky with horizon entwined.
                     Glow of your blue eyes met my vision,
                        Blue print of your glance pasted in mind.

                         I put blue sapphire on your finger,
                           You blushed crimson: My blue blood bubbling,
                        I told ‘Will you marry me, My Dear?’
                             Your peacock blue eyelashes twinkling.

                            Blue bell sparkled on your glossy hair 
                               That eve, blue band of rainbow most bright.
                          Periwinkle stars  twinkled in glare.
                              Blue Moon witnessed both of us at night.

Then, was a lot less adversity
 Then, you just can't compare
 Then, was common courtesy 
 Then, people they did so care

 Then, there were less prudes
 Then, people got on together 
 Then, a different set of attitudes                                         
 Then, we'd never say never

Then, was more fashionable
Then, seemed more classic                                                                                            
Then, was more memorable                                                                            
Then, I think was just fantastic

Then, time's were more sleek                                                                              
Then, was just way more cool
Then, I would say was unique                                                                               
Then, though now is oldskool!
