Limerick : Once a Cadre in a Revolution

Once a Cadre in a Revolution
Took strict lessons in elocution
Saw himself on podium
Safe from opprobrium
Ai ! Missed lessons in execution !

Political Postmortem
How fickle the electoral wind!
only yesterday a sure winner
but now a picture of despair.

Experience means nothing,
rhetorical prowess is best,
more like elocution contest.

Lack of substance is alright,
just talk and you are made
or end up politically dead....

Bubble of illusion
Is confusion with a T
A troubling contusion
On a master memory

A faster elocution
Is a feature for a crowd
The most annoying creature
Has a gift for being loud.

The Orator
I had three poems
- Short ones-
And was told where to stand
To read them
My time was limited
Only time to read the bare words
No time for introductions,
Side stories,
Or explanations

“Just read the poems”

So I did
My elocution was perfect:
Clear, and to the point
I left the stage
To a silent reception

Because no one knows
Who I am...

Pedis Oralis
Poker face attempted
pretense at being calm
Speech also pre-empted -
stuttering with aplomb.

What I should have said was...
I mean, I really meant...
You see, I didn't see...
Who'd have thought that she was

Classic diagnosis
it's foot-in-mouth disease
a verbal sclerosis
sometimes called, greenhorn-ese

There is no known antidote
no medical solution.
Bandage which has my vote -
lessons in elocution.

Premium Member The Drifter
Sifting through the sands of time

Drifting through the lands of rhyme

A humble poet bound for glory

They rumble thus around for story

When all prose of past recalled

Then all those at last enthralled

Guilty of floral attitudes

Innocent of moral platitudes

Elocution flows from his tongue

Each line glows as if it were sung

Eyes bleary still he tries his best

Till weary words he lies to rest...
