blustering with sins,

Nothing more than memory

But I’ll keep praying for a miracle...

The golden star, silver moon
To work on the ruby senses
Harbor no lost lies
Keeping no cynical shine
Opening rain box

after the romance
came boredom and arguments
then divorce papers

Love is cruel
But do not be shy
Lift your hands up to the sky
Love will come if you wait 
Just be patient do not buy
It will come, the care you seek 
So bide your time to meet your true love’s fate...

Have you found the rarest of four-leaf clovers
Or bent down to pick up a shiny lucky penny
Maybe you thought of those who may not have any
Or did you just look for the tarnish on the coin you turned over...

Diminish decay torrid in bane, finish this 
horrid image astray. 
My sequel pain is unique, in vain I’m not 
what these people think. 
Although visible In Cynical Sorrow, I still 
feel miserable tomorrow....

You're a beacon of love 
in this cynical place
You bring peace and contentment 
with beauty and grace
In a world filled with heartbreak 
and sorrow, my love
You're the one thing that's constant 
to all else above...

The 'crucial' material, superficial and trivial,
Affects subjects in context of perfected defects,
Venial miracles, remedials for the cynical,
Introspect. Project and infect, this selected side-effect.

Call me cynical
Has anyone else noticed …….
All of a sudden
The price of flowers and chocolates
Rockets skywards high towards heaven

Oh silly me its nearly Valentines Day!

yes babe i have lived through it all,
and hope not to be cynical,
but it produces poetry,
the taste of gall,
emotively,
the all:)

boris broke the rules
attending garden parties
whilst WE stayed at home

He covers his back
rules are now to be relaxed
voters are not fools!

I am cynical
of politicians actions
If the truth be told

Emerald eyes staring at me
Staring at my floppy flabs
Staring at my rounded face
Staring at my too-small eyes,
Staring at flat nose,
Staring at my fat limbs,
Staring at my thin lips.
Jaded eyes all around me,
Cynical with tedious envy....

D~ormant this volcano was; a rock face,
E~ver cynical and mute, gaunt and cold
S~now covers the peak and the hollow place
I~nside a burning heart is kept on hold.
R~esistance fails; love like lava's trace
E~ruptions of emotion, rare as gold....

Senryu 
 A cynical person
Protects his soppy heart
From mawkishness

 Senryu
A lurid nightmare
Is an extension of a day
That went ing bad 


Senryu
                      They say he is rude
When objecting against old age
They expect poise...

Julia Ward free verse contest: Polly in politics

I'm Cynical of Polly

They say she's pretty, Polly,
even though she shits on the media,
content to repeat 
whatever her keepers teach for a bit of golden carrot.
Yes --
she's a real polly-tician!...

Point Predicteded To Be Pinnacle

Medically care for it which was hygienical,
And then when they had become cynical;
Then did annoint,
With pinnacle point;
Could not wear cover when being rabbinical.

Head came to a point and IQ was very
limited....

It's hard not to expect the worst from someone.
When others have made your soul come undone.
You seem to always see lies in the truth.
You want to give up cause you feel it's no use.
Somehow your mind stays stuck in the past.
Cynical if this will even last........

My heart is a charcoal gray
With silver specks in the sun
Tomorrow is New Year's Day
And this old year, my dear, is done

A bit of moss on the north knoll
The hills of my heart burrowed through
And I'm cramming hope in the holes
Just like the woodpeckers do....

With a mentality as cold as an
          Up high,
          Sky spy,
          Fly by,
          Watch die,
          Vulture ...

I just cannot abide 
          This blame,
          Then claim,
          No shame,
          Blame game,
