I’ll watch you dying
Till last word coming from you
I’m deaf to your words
Deserve your sad fate thru me
I’m celebrating your death

pressed beyond the point of break, with no known destination, the last word left the station, trailing silence in its wake…

Dickie Bird

There once was an umpire called Bird
Who always had the last word
He never had to second guess
The abominable DRS
Nowadays it’s all become rather absurd.

Premium Member she gets the last word

She’ll scream like hell I’m your mother!
And introject There’s no other!
But your disrespect
Means all must expect
We’re nature’s target to smother

Diamonds and Dross

Was it about you
or were they talking
of me
not looking flash
on a diamond encrusted bike
let us both
fulmigate
against the tide
of perception
and then maybe
we'll earn the last word.


Premium Member Mom Has the Last Word

Rainbow hair is in the teens say,
A Mohawk please, I told Miss Bee.
That would truly make my day
My mother heard these words you see.
Conservative cut is staying,
A smart choice, as she is paying.

Words, words and more words

A chaotic battle of words

Wanting to be heard

Trying to out-word

Having the last word

Too many words

And all that is heard

               IS

BLAH, BLAH, BLAH

The Last Word

Steaming fire and ice      
Glomming armour and vice
A royal defence force
A charging horse

He’s sire
Knighted Sir.
A messiah
My hero

A skilled warlord
Conqueror of worlds
His regal sword
The last word

Premium Member dont be rude

Grandma Moses was delivered by pterodactyl today
We saw her arrive, and we grandkids all yelled hooray
Thought you were extinct! We yelled up at the bird.
Don’t be rude, said the pterodactyl. So he had the last word.
Form: Couplet

Premium Member Life - a Nonet

Life might be compared to a Nonet; if words be deeds, how we flourish in the first several lines! But the lines, like time, start to dwindle midway. Last word; last line - Too fast we meet the end.

Premium Member Found Poem

Then one day...
in the dark,  in the dark
in the deep,  deep dark 
a bright speck floated,  invisible as dreams,  special as Love. 

The last word was only a 
whisper, 
barely understood, and then
there was no more.

Premium Member Dialog with Fate

He trekked life's seemingly endless slog, 
and engaged cruel fate in a dialog.
He would measure and evaluate,
and conclude his luck was not so great,
until a raven, crow, or other bird,
said fate had the very last word.

Premium Member Where Does a Poem Live

A poem lives and it breathes
  in the now, in the present

But its home spans the past
  and the future, omnipresent  


  
   ~ with a special Thank-you! to 
       Swetha Vangaveti for the 
        last word of the poem :)

Dreams To Live On

Nature speaks,
  in the quietude of dawn

A rapture complete,
  last word to your song

Her message repeats,
  till daylight is gone

With night bringing sleep,
  —and dreams to live on

(White Mountains New Hampshire: May, 2017)

Wings of a Prayer

A song more than a verse,
  thoughts more than they say

A wish lost in the fall,
  recaptured in May

Love more than a feeling,
  all heaven to share

Last word redelivered,
 —on wings of a prayer

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)

Go

There we basked in Eden all aglow,

         With no cares or worries and Eve in tow,

     But the serpent spoke to her in his slithery way,

         We ate the apple, so we could not stay,

     The Lord spoke only one last word to us..."GO"!

Premium Member Epitaph a Last Word

re-post inspired by Constance contest

He
laughed much,
won respect,
and love of his
kin
He
endured
betrayal
in false friends,with
peace
still
sought out
beauty ,in 
others found the
best;
On
earth he
lived and left
it a better
place.

Earth's Tranquilities

On three levels, the last word
On tranquility.
Earth-world. Ballooning.
Biking, boating through.

And is there none, life-burdened
Who suffers for it!
Live on, be pitied.
If neither lightness of being
For the soul's healing
Will be sought of you.

Lines Impearled

Is a poem ever really done,
can the last word not begin

The Angels voting lines impearled
each phrase into a hymn

Is a poem ever given back,
to whom the words behold

Each letter turned into a string
—a harp of heaven’s gold 

(Dreamsleep: March, 2020)

Today

today, I cried
today, I had to decide
today, I lost my pride 

today, something sturred
today, I was unheard
today, I said my last word

today, I lost
today, I saw the cost
today, I was crossed

today, I screamed
today, I dreamed
that someday I would be redeemed
Form: Rhyme

Done

Done

I am done
I am finished
I haven’t won
As if I fished
And didn’t catch
Anything at all
But with this batch,
I am off call
I don’t want to,
Forever nevermore
Nothing to do
Nothing to live for
So I cut the cord
With this last word

Premium Member For the World

I wrote alit from the mine
the turkey not a mind
of digging the best out of a hole
to get the liver the heart and the neck
and stuffing you must be out of your mind
thank you did it all thank you my last word
a tralala give me a party only me invited
at your no sense know a full moon

Premium Member Liquid Souls

one last Look as I reflect in your eyes
one last Smile of the happiness we share
one last Caress, so warm, so gentle, so you
one last Embrace where two became one
one last Word unsaid in understanding
one last Kiss before lying--may our lips meet an
Afterlife of unbridled togetherness.

This, Too, Forgets

Passed the setting sun, 
is the inevitable — 
The unknown, 
The necessity, 
The silence, 
after the last word spoken,
The way the room forgets 
your laughter, 
your pain — 
Over time, the door closes 
and the walls exhale your name, 
Collecting dust, 
to settle in your place.
