My Leader Is Bodmas

Brackets wealth 
Of people milked
Divides innocent hearts
Multiplies mass sorrows
Adds incurable pains
Subtracts all hopes
Form: Acrostic


Coloured (Yet(More(Brackets)

Black sky. Brown trees. Orange leaves.
Red blood. Blue sea. Green sleeves.
Yellow sun. Grey roads. White moon.
Golden sand. Purple rain. Silver spoons.
Form: Rhyme

(parenthesis)

Repeating doubts
Squashed between
Brackets in my 
Head; they clog
The free-flow!

Freedom to let
My mind wander
To and fro,
Like it does
When I'm happy!

March Madness

March Madness is here
college fans and beer

they’re at the sport bars
watching future stars

they got their brackets
hold Easter Baskets

basketball is loved by some
than others just think it’s dumb
Form: Couplet

Brackets

follow the bouncing ball
slapped around by the tall

through the hoop it will go
never a one man show

up and down the court
drank Gatorade by quart

March Madness is here
loud cheers soon I'll hear
Form: Couplet


Tooth Cheese

Braces make brushing difficult
Be warned!! don't regale others
With tooth cheese --yuck!
Brush veraciously, two minutes or more
Two or three times a day
clean around those brackets
Or your teeth will crumble!

Here a Brisket and There a Bracket

Here A Brisket And There A Bracket

Briskets and brackets  can be high or low;
Or else you may either win, place or show;
In a contest,
To be best,
And do better higher  and faster must go.

Weak audible creaks from a faded pub sign
Preludes a visual crash, combed by critical eyes
Though the structure was sound
The worn brackets were faint
Flaking words curled and dropped
With the tired peeling paint.
Form: Couplet

Romani Flies

Clean and minty
Plump pink or receding
Capped, implanted, or real
A whistle through gaps
Metal brackets and stretchy rubber bands
Drool on a white cotton pillow case in the dead of night
Twitchy lies and storied gossip, save, 
For a fly does not enter a closed mouth.

A Punctuated Life

walking most of life
within brackets
a comma always in front of my steps
if in the right mood
an accent over my head
but those moments dwindle
nobody notices my question marks
or speech marks it seems
often then exclamation
fearing as we all do
the full stop

THE QUESTION MARK


Our life-
A question mark it is-
Struggling 
Into an exclamation point
To turn
But
After numerous battles against
A series of: 
Commas 
Semicolons
Colons
Brackets and
Dashes,
Exhausted;
Ends up-
In most cases-
A…period "." to 
Be.

Death Comes

Death
will come
to all who
pay their taxes.
The love of money
only creates
a deadly
fiscal
drag.


Fiscal drag in economics is the process by which, during inflation, rising incomes draw people into higher tax brackets, so that their real incomes may fall; this acts as restraint  (death) to the expansion of the economy.

Premium Member Ode To An Oldie

There once was a bucket from Nantucket
[Trump*]'s aides must make time to lug it
While running for office
His sh!t from each orifice
Needs giant commodes just to flush it

*In order to promote fairness, the reader can insert any selfish politician, CEO, or other name in the brackets. Sadly, there's no shortage of good choices.

Premium Member The Solution

(UR)=2(love)=2(any)=2(all) > 1(trauma) + 1(mistake) + 1(failure). 

Apply to problem for resolution, repeat as necessary, show your work....

Will this be on the test?

I assure you... this is the test and most people aren't prepared for it. 

I don't get it...

You will, after the brackets are filled in.

When you've solved the problem... help the next person....

Prayerless

My hands ~

Like brackets of identity ~ e're naught

My feet ~

Like  portals of iniquity ~ there caught

My faith ~

Like vestige' continuity ~ all bought

My grace ~

Like Godliness' annuity ~ still sought

My gifts ~

Like treasures weight in view of thee ~ untaught

Thy promise ~

The road determined not as free ~ yet fought!


.  .  .  .  stay in prayer!

The Bodmas of life

Life is like MATH:  
With quality friends, you ADD,  
Enemies of success, you SUBTRACT,  
Misfortunes you DIVIDE,  
Through hard work, your success MULTIPLIES.  

It is a trap, yet you can escape,  
By putting pleasures in BRACKETS—  
Saving the sweetest for tomorrow.  

Of all things, trust in God,  
Who grants the power  
To bypass obstacles  
And solve the equation of success.

Smiling Belly Dancer

Smiling Belly Dancer ……..by Peter Onyancha

Belly dancer
You are another one!
Where do you mine your smile?
Beaming brackets, my my!
This is it, my spirit, speak it
Or belie – are you sly?
The tune is gone – but the charm!
The eyes grow with them and glow
You Smile and I blush – 
How simply, you truly pinch me 
Somewhere deep in the rib!
Look away, from my way
You bully belly dancer

Clue

Clue

see the truth 
have a clue
reuse fuse the manger
recreated by a stranger
tame the shame
claim the brackets
rackets
eye glasses
tassels times of hassles
shackleton historian
explorer
arctic circle
turn cold
frost bighting nails
numb with firing guns
stunned with bees
flea infested turmoil
scratch the catch
sprayed with chemicals
to pleat our existence

Apostrophe

You are my life's apostrophe
The part that has always been missing in me
You're right where the hyphen used to be-
You are my life's apostrophe

Once a question mark was all I had? 
And commas dominated my soul, 
Semicolons; separated my dreams
And the ellipse was firmly in control...

Then you placed your brackets around my [heart]
Your braces around my {soul}
Your parentheses surround my (dreams) 
You're the exclamation mark in my life so droll!
