This is what we should say.
"God bless Negative Normans today,
Bless them on their way."
Far better than catty cliches!
Love’s infinite cliches glue me to this earth.
In the end, we are, yet, nothing but dirt.
For what it’s worth,
Entropic defiance is life’s tender hurt.
“Forever and a day” is surely a cliché
It flows so trippingly, by the way,
The older I get the more I realize
Not many phrases left to utilize.

She deals In electronic advice
With HI-def wifi dreams
And shares some simple prose
On death or love, cliches
And Once in a while,
she'll show off her smile
But not without someone to see
i took that step forward
my eyes closed
and fist clenched
you leaned in
and our lips touched
no fireworks
no butterfly's
no cliches
there was just me and you
and a million feelings i cant put into words
I've got butterflies in my stomach,
A frog in my throat,
Cat's got my tongue,
And someone's got my goat.
I'm as sly as a fox,
But as blind as a bat.
I'm as silly as a goose.
Now what do you think of that?
When you are hell-bent
to fold your tents
That's when your ship comes in
heaven-sent
They say things are darkest
before the dawn breaks
worse than rhyming cliches
for goodness' sakes
It’s my time to shine.
It’s my time to break out into the world.
It’s my time to make mistakes.
It’s my time to fly.
It’s my time to fall.
It’s my time to make it or break it.
It’s my time to fulfill cliches.
You talk, but all I hear is you have nothing to say.
I'm just trying to make myself into a person I don't hate.
Fumbling for a character when all the world's a stage.
Shrieking at an audience deafened by cliches.
He claimed to be wise beyond measure, ancient and archaic.
Told me countless cliches like, "Life is what you make it!".
So I beat him senseless with his cane,
picking up his shattered remains,
and made from him the most beautiful mosaic.
Testing the waters
of this undeserved fame.
As this life as we know it,
really isn't much more than a game.
Theres nothing left to lose.
No more to soon gain.
What you bring to the table,
isn't much to many.
And if silence is as good as gold.
Look forword to what your future can hold.
An effervescent sizzling rain
falls outside my window panes
dreary, stay home day
A day for brewing pekoe tea
not one for walking by the sea
an early spring cliche

*The form definition says a
rhyming couplet of NORMALLY
meaning NOT ALWAYS 8 syllables
and a shorter 3rd line
I hate when that's all I can think of to say
Some kind of stupid cliche
Words that have been said or written before
Words that have become such a bore
Over and over we hear them again
Maybe by the lips or the pen
I hate it when I have nothing original to say
I hate all those damn cliches
He's so nice being vicious
He's surprising using cliches
He's so tender being tough
Independer needing love
Though loves me and I am really sure of that
Speaks to me no word for two months now somewhat
He just fits to this contest name folks--
He's full moron weird one ox
Oxymoron contest

relish those moments
cause you'll never have them again
embarrassment was invented just to cause nervousness within
clouds cover the sun just to make rain
there you are
right on time
smiling again
yeah it hurts sometimes
so I don' t take these situations for granted
the never ending cliches in life
I just can' t take it
the best way to revitalize cliches?
that is easy
give the start of them to a classroom of second graders
quiet as as…..
they will never say mouse
they will say wall, window, tree
happy as a….
Lark and clam will not come up.
They will say puppy, balloon, clown
they will do this for free
without pay or candy bar expectations
I need a cliche like a hole in the head
Hackneyed comments make me wish I was dead
I hang onto sanity by a mere thread
If I hear one more I’ll go off my head.
It would be better to say nothing at all
People’s trite comments never fail to appall
Go on use a cliche if you have the gall
But say one near me and I’ll have your balls.
motifs benday
pinpointed
raster dots
enlarged cliches
cartooned nuanced
in new dimensions
the familiar
fantasized
stylised
reorientations
in overlapped
matrix fields
of the moment
of thoughts
quickened
by inspiration.
Metaphors are poetry's loaded guns
I held the metaphor against her head and pulled
The trigger
Some time later she
Felt the pain
As cliche's spent shells
Rolled off down the pavement
I challenge you whoever you are
Your 50 cliches to my single metaphor
Heaven or hell
Different places
Or simply different points on the same continuim
Word out at the coral ok?
"What I Accomplished Today"
I finished my new poem book today.
A real kicker of a book.
By Jimmy Boo Semtex.
So do beware when you read these pages.
You may just go book.
My new book is called Picnic.
And is a bit mad.
Satire delight world leader cliches.
Making love.
We've all been there.
So go get my book and read this poem.
It's NOT in my book!
I'll read your funk,
your epileptic word-purge junk,
your chasm magic sceptic tank
of old cliches that happen to make you smile,
or cry.
We can be each others brutal-theraputic,
we'd be like Greeks;
we'd lose all Christian values,
we'd become in Time and Space
a dust arranged against infinity;
a slow heat death,
all the same.
But better in Becoming.
Three sheets in the wind
And rubbed the wrong way
By a fair weather friend
You must seize the day
Let your hair down
And lay down the law
Be the talk of the town
With your last hurrah
With all your high hopes
Few and far in between
Up against the ropes
Taking one for the team
Play your cards right
No guts no glory
Still High as a kite
The same old story
first " there's not time like the present" then they say "haste makes waste"
then "don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today"
"the more things change the more they stay the same" some say
and in the next breath"tomorrows another day"
they say "if it don't happen naturally then leave it"
then "if at first you don't succeed try try again "can you believe it?
Form:
Red roses
Boxes of chocolates
A diamond ring
All cliches` you sent to me
I sigh and roll my eyes
Then set them on the table
I pluck the roses bare
And toss the chocolates in the trash
But I put the ring you sent to me
On my left hand finger
Not because it's valuable
Not because it's shiny
I put the promise on my finger
Because I love you
And the cliche` you sent to me
No refuge here
Just bitter cheer
Search now in vain
Kind words said plain
Cliques and cliches
Odd word croquet
Islands of stress
A savvy mess
Not much for laughs
Broken mad stuff
Loss that now pokes
Sad burden yokes
Once a big tribe
Scattered once ripe
Not much to say
A wind-blown way
