My poems are mediocre,
I no longer have the time.
No longer will I express my self,
With another silly rhyme.
People are making
movies, music-
They are living
their fullest lives,
living a dream.
I am ruining mine
to write
mediocre poetry
Hate tapioca?
Me too. Vile yellow-ochre.
At best, it’s mediocre.
I’m no-one’s joker -
an even-handed broker –
but Monday? What a choker!
my alligator loves to play poker,
he's a lot of fun and quite a joker,
because of that sly grin,
he always wins,
and my card play is just mediocre.
Cozy Courage
Ok Hard
Mediocre Alive
Fine Learning
Old Level up
Regular Energy
Tame New
Acceptable Growth
Boring Expansive
Lazy
Easy
There once was a man that was lackluster
Who's life was one giant cluster
Writes a suicide note
He slits his throat
Blank stares are all his family can muster
Words that do not speak to me
Fine poetry may very well be
My taste, middling mediocre
No literary bona fides
~ This wild card's a joker
My love is greater
Than her petty attitude
On mediocre

There once was a young lady
I tell you she was somewhat shady
She played some strip poker
With brother's friends mediocre
In walked her mother quite shaky
Who sets the standard?
Who accepts this? We all do.
What is good enough?
My 'good' is your 'bad'
My best is 'mediocre'.
What is good enough?
What is good enough,
Is your best, your very best.
That is good enough
God forbid that I should offer a word of advice
On how one might make a mediocre poem sublime
Or to suggest that fewer words might as well suffice
Tell me once and you’ve no need to tell me twice.

Mediocre
fly through
all dimensions,
the scale
is broken.
mediocre is lost
in corner.
my name,
is the only
constant.
vital is mind,
a game of hide
and seek.
seek until find,
art is a chime,
blow and you shall
hear the resonance
of
time
I did not hear her bullying voice any more
Her words of meanness I deplore
for she has no power, she does not soar
Mediocre and dull, blah sameness
is what she applauds and adores
I am glad to let you know,
I do not hear mother any more
Silent confessions
of things we don’t mention;
my emotions run wild.
Mediocre possessions
with damning silent confessions;
his emotions ran wild.
Is it mere reflections
of the things we never mentioned?
Our emotions are running wild.

Wind within their fur
In jungles, Savannah’s, nowhere mediocre
Lazy they are not, for sure
Dragons of their own right
Cats crave the WildThing fight
At night these angels hardly sleep
Tread during day, the feline will creep
Such is the WildCat a’neat.
The day that Armageddon came,
he thought the entire thing was kind of lame.
Nothing but the noise and smoke of a fiery battle,
and people, left and right, bloodily slaughtered like cattle ~
not much different really from any other mediocre computerized game.
No wonder you're all sad.
They've stolen your childhood and replaced it
With homework and grades. They don't
Let you dream any more, they crush it
With the pressures to be mediocre yet
Pretend they want greatness from you.
That is wrong.
That is so wrong.
A heart too gentle
A mind too deep
A beautiful soul
Forever asleep
Eyes full of sparkle
A heart full of love
Now shining brightly
From heaven above
Always too beautiful
for a world so mediocre
Your peace brings us comfort
But without you
We’re broken
Why all these games?
Lame excuses
from a mediocre dame!
Okay!!
We can play,
I've won this contest before,
you attention whore!
Score!!
Despite hesitation she's at my door,
at four, in risque lingerie.
I'll feed into this charade!
well played!!

Amateur writers, they languish in bookshelves,
their mediocre musings dull, tawdry, and lacklustre,
garish fare inviting foot press dust bin or giant skip,
infused with cliché-ridden dumbstruck cant so trite,
I “CANT” grasp why such writers are that brazen,
“Amateur Writer” is not the word!
The timid
find courage
in the well

Poly-Ticks is Greek for " Plays with Dicks",
Whilst all carries on as before,
Stop! A moment please, I insist,
Name me one worthwhile person in that whole crowd,
Cite a single act of which they can be proud,
They're mediocre, half wits who haven't a clue,
But do you know what's worse? They rule me and you.

Perfect is a distant goal
Perfection exists,
We realize it very distant ...
Better than we conform
in being apprentices,
Improving the imperfect ...
We are still very mediocre ...
We will be more mature, better,
When we accept it
No despair ...!
