Premium Member Poetry Turned Inward

figuratively speaking...
clearing the mind
accommodates new thoughts...

poetry then is as...
a reality turned inward
and outward

a conch shell time sphere...
from which to watch the wilds
with your own po at tree

Premium Member Figuratively Speaking

Unmotivated,
I’d dropped my creative side
on the kickoff line
until I picked it up at halftime.

Fumbling,
I now use things I know little about
to explain things I know even less 
about life.

Touchdown when I get it right!

Presence (Septet)

Silhouette
               Shadow on my wall
      I am called by your presence
   I’m summoned by your very spirit
         You touch me as no other
                     Figuratively
                     Holding me


Septet syllable count is 3,5,7,9,7,5,3, unrhymed

Christmas Perfection

I found the perfect Christmas gift
And that’s what I’m unwrapping 
She’s five foot two, eyes of blue
Slender, tender, figuratively cracking

So it’s a happy Christmas to me
For a very obvious reason
I’ve found myself the perfect gift
That I will enjoy all of the season

Tempus Fugit L (Time Flies) Written: by Tom Wright 4/15/2018 When faced with a project that I’m eschewing, The time seems prolonged and I speculate why. But undertaking assignments that I enjoy doing, Time escapes, and figuratively speaking, does fly.

Premium Member Jubilation and Joy

Upward through a soft patch of early Spring
    If green plants and petals could only sing

  Jubilation and Joy would ring out
    Fleeing wintry straightjackets
  
  I'd wave to them; they'd wave to me
    We'd weep together, figuratively
      Two old friends united again ~ restoratively

It's So Quiet In Here

It’s so quiet in here
And the only sounds I hear 
Come from fingers, moving wildly
Telling stories behind backs
Literally, Figuratively
Breaking hearts and bonds
Secrets spreading silently
In a tangled web
Of words and whispers
Created by humming hands
And, I think we have forgotten
Our once vocal voices
For I don’t remember how to say
I’m Sorry

Premium Member My Poetic Ambition In Sonnet Form

I recite and read aloud,
wander, lonely as a cloud,
then emulate and create
as memory stimulates;
Swim against poetry's tide
therein,an enigma hide,
perhaps,a step too far,with
Tennyson,crossing the bar;
I dream on Will's sonnet verse,
figuratively,sweet and terse,
lazing life away,with songs
compared to a summer's day.

To conjure an opening line
ever,remembered,as mine.

Be Leaving of Age

How old you turn isn’t the age you are, but the age you are is how old you turn
Lessons only 9,131 days under the Sun could burn
The only degree is learned or unlearned
No first, second, or third
Today is my day whether or not it’s conferred
When it’s over I’ll still attack the world bravely
That doesn’t mean that failures are unchained to me
I thank God for letting me live both figuratively and literally

Life Saving Rope

I wish we all could dream
I wish we all could win
I wish we all could sing
Maybe life would be much easier
Or worse, boring

If only I were a soldier
Fighting for love and the flag
And you were my country
My Essence and Pride...
Only will you let me pour out my heart to you

Figuratively speaking
We mostly say what we really mean
As your eyes reveal your heart
So does this poem
Undresses my heart before you

Observation 3 Lost Souls

They front for public perception
Campaign like it's an election
Make people sick figuratively, like an infection
Just for attention
Monetize in ah dimension
Where money's good suspension
Evil gets the most attention & good needs ah petition
Dealing with the agenda & nobody listen
People full of **** but everyone pissing
Constipated not obligated
To no-one but themselves
Crab in the barrel pulling down everyone but yourself

Forty Days In Her Wilderness

This life for the most since these eyes can remember 
Her light of day has seemed no less, a tortures chamber
Psychologically, mauled in maimed ? Everyday awakening 
Unto their very same chains his scenes, round about; within 
What always was; is ? A #ucked up world filled, with #ucked up 
Things and no wonder, figuratively speaking that, Heaven's Messiah.... 
Did so tell Lucifer that he could shove this place tightly, up his literals ass.

Placed

Literally placed bush flowers in his hair,
He figuratively placed flowers in my hair.
Methodical giggles all around;
Whilst shaking prized petals down.

Downwards spiralling to the ground
Now sediments of floral mound
The clock it ceased forevermore
When love was such and sin was spore.

Braving and craving hence with wreath
All those flowers from beneath
Literally placed a wreath on his head
For such a king I breathed to bed.

Premium Member The Colour of Black

The black colour
Though a shadow of fear
An eclipse of the sun or the moon
A darkness of unknown and waiting danger
A mourning  atmosphere
As bad luck as the crow
Figuratively they are and of no choice 
But dresses in black may look tidy and fresh 
Classy and elegant 
Documents in black and white 
May be a credential to dignity 
And a contribution to its innocence and pride
And thus it goes
To every cloud there is a silver lining

Forty Days In the Wilderness

This life for the most since these eyes can remember 
Her light of day has seemed no less, a tortures chamber
Psychologically, mauled in maimed ? Everyday awakening 
Unto their very same chains his scenes, round about; within
