Rotes Poems | Examples


The Elite

At the front row gain a flag off,
as compared to them in the back.

So the life underdogged,
starting by the rulers.

Zig zagging through a bulk of them,
maneuvered without wings.

I’m gonna bonk at 15 miles.
So life is bonked, trying suck all of the drops.
Gotta slow down as life rotes.

The pace slaps in head, hallucinate the finish line.
As life dreams of the dead, when the gold is ironed.

Rich rapture reaps
Taste timely trip


Readings rouse room
Bright blessings bloom


Tale trumpets trace
Seek sanguine space


Faith frames fine face
Ponder prompt pace


Wonder works write
Cheer channels cite


Claim clever cheer
Seek sublime seer


Notice new notes
Route richer rotes


Buoyant brew bites
Work well wise writes


Readings reach right
Scan superb sights

Proof plants pure poise
Charm creams clear choice


Books bears bright blooms
Glimpse good grace groom


Treat tasty thrill
Forge feisty feel


Meet mellow mimes
Treasure true times


Nurture new notes
Reach richer rotes


Pain pleasures prime
Ripe ripples rhyme


Gripe grapples greed
Nuisance names need


Use unfurls urge
Meet myriad merge


Taste touching tales
Bear brilliant bales


Seek sparkling sights
Linger last light


Stillness speaks sound
Gain glorious grounds


End echoes etch
Sense sensuous stretch


Love lives lost lines
Play peachy pint


Touch tints tasty
Zeal zooms zesty


Words work wit well
Dance dreamy dwell


Bright blessings boom
Rich rapture rooms


Next naughty night
See superb sights


Heed hazy hurls
See sensuous swirls


Toss troubling times
Ride roaring rhymes


Write words within
Soul stays sweet scenes

With Hands That Weep

It was a liquid wall – a wave so exceptionally massive
Foreboding and catching unawares, tossing into passive
Submission of bodily functions violently shaken
White noise crashing through sandy pores
Tearing fingers along broken bottles to
Billions of bubbles bursting between salty motes
Sucking hideous gulps of brine in lung full rotes

Where serenity hides amongst coral flutes
To seek you out and shove you deep
As a soul is crossed and taken by reap
With hands that weep
Across a soundless plain
Devoid of pleasure, yet not of pain

A journey through light, a glittering void
Filled with those seeking past and present
Where worlds collide to anoint a soul
Before the hands of time; and
Commit to dust, a body belonging
To the ordinary world

Where loved ones drip upon a wasted shore
To hunch and punch
A chest that’s cold to disbelief at
Eyes that speak through windowless souls
Of a place that’s reached beyond
The hands that scream and weep

Over a body that belonged to the ordinary world
