Angry, vilest moniker
Defeater of peace
Harbinger of repression
Men assume what they don’t know
It holds me back from entering the sacred realm
Calm awareness...

This lass with a scent as sweet as a rose
Not such a hard task
He just had to ask
So the answer was right under his nose!...

Although we’ve hardly even met
Your moniker I just don’t get
Truly I have no clue 
Poet Destroyer, what’s with that?
I would not hang that on my cat!
I’m breaking up with you....

They play their home games
in the nation's capital.
The team has no name.

They were the "Redskins".
For Native Americans,
the team dropped their moniker.

All along I thought Mo's new moniker
Was “Pigeon Toed” from the “Feathered Chronicle”
But I just realized
“Tart” was more idealized
Hope you'll forgive me my happy frolicker...

My brand new moniker is Santa Jack
Had it a while but now I'm officially on track
To send you good wishes
Along with mushy kisses
Hope you don't think of me as a bit of a quack

It's my handle my moniker it's the name that you use. 
I'm a villain an angel or someone to abuse.
A friend or a lover or just a wild child on the loose 
A guy out of a western, the man the no name 
Or I'm a poet from England, playing silent ones game.

Who remembers the Yardbirds
and their moniker Monkey business

seeking people through the world of time
through to Renaissance
and all the falling angels...

Total surrender, breath by breath
Watching reflex instinct
Desires rise, then swoon into death
Save bliss throbs, with love inked

In the divine wicker
Pure heart our moniker
Love flame does not flicker

Soft prayers render
Total surrender

I share my first name with six kings,
   Three presidents, and  England's patron saint.
   With my middle name, as Finbar,
   If Irish, which i ain't
   My surname's used by kings with rings,
   To put their stamp on wax.
   Also an aquatic mammal
   Or in fact it can fill cracks.

The energy conduit
Transmuted by soma 
Holds form bliss route 
To our mind an enigma

Bliss currents steady
Flame does not flicker
Signalling we’re ready
Luminosity our moniker

All in-form pores doors
Celebrating divine union
Cascading bliss in-pours
Timeless is this meditation

M-ine of gold where 
I-  ndigenous people dwell-
N- atives of the far mountainous lands with 
D- ivine forest and mountain ranges, 
O -ffering mineral-rich soil and emerald vegetation 
R- anging from lappaceum to lansium, 
O- ver which the pristine rivers flow. 


The name was from old Spanish moniker "mina de Oro" ("mine of gold")

Rudolph's name is really Adolf
But was coined for he was thought rude
Assumed to be full of himself
As leader of the reindeer brood

His red nose stayed up in the air
That part of the story is right
But he only kept it that way
To see around the blinding light

About that "rude olf" moniker
He would always spread the word
To please only call him Adolf
Ironically that was preferred!...

Here’s my comment on comments – 
Acknowledgement’s nice.
Support with a shout-out
Will more than suffice.

I don’t want corrections,
Though typos are fine.
The words with my moniker
Need to be mine.

A comment on content
Of course is okay,
As long as no nastiness
Comes into play.

In short, with a comment
I know someone’s reading.
As long as I’m posting,
That’s knowledge I’m needing....

Listen to poem:

The Solitude of the Candle
David J Walker

The sweet smell of spiced  
paraffin and flame

the solitude of darkness
		I am the name

I am the sound 
of the moniker 
and bound

To hold the meaninglessness 
 of a darkness 

in a
		Darkened  frame

In a dark space
		In a dark place

Just beyond 
		The Candles claim 

And will be remembered
		So long lives

		The candle's flame...

Cardinal is my moniker
I care not
Words are nothing
My tweet is pleasant.
Fresh birdseed in the feeder.
Succulent worms came out last night
I got them quickly 
Slurped them up next to the marigolds
Night crawlers are so tasty
I preen as the dark ones come near
Looking for my mate 
The hunt delicious
This is enough to satisfy me

Got an amazing friend from across the sea
His moniker is SO which stands for Silent One
A unique bard who hasn't been recognized apart from this site
I am blessed to be a small part of his extraordinary life
Loved and respected by many
Admired for his creative pen and brilliant mind
If I haven't expressed my admiration well enough
It's enough to say I'm honoured to be a part of his world!...

Too tan Tess was what they called her
But not for the reason you think
But of a misplaced "two" decal
Stuck to her, after too much to drink

Her moniker came hard for her
With an untanned two on her head
She said, "Well, I'll just keep tanning,"
"Till it's gone, this two that I dread!"

She tanned more to cover it up
After each time, just on the brink
They all still call her too tan Tess
But now, for the reason you think!...

Dear ‘Prudence’
would have been my fate 
after the song
if he had his way
luckily that night in June
not a moment too late
nineteen eighty-six
my mother crowned me Kate
although…
thirty-seven years since
my name, as he knows
just some blue eyed stranger.

‘Annie’ is the girl dad made
watched her grow
not me
just another moniker
for him alone
only now did I discover 
was after his bloody beloved
childhood cat.

Figures…

Sparring With Pain
Written: by Tom Wright
10-21-2016

Entering each day’s fight I’ve total disdain,
The fighter I face uses the moniker, pain,
I hook and jab endeavoring to stay on top.
His presence I may slow but rarely can stop.

I’ve tried to drug him but that didn’t work,
So I’ve reached a conclusion that’s quite sage.
It hasn’t been ring savvy, grit, or footwork,
Pain unmasked revealed my true foe was Age.

Excuse my moniker. You gave it to me.
Another tag to show who all abuse my sanity.

Ignore my piercing tone. You made it very clear.
Whatever said is lost in the void between your ears.

How much is said, not done? What can man do under one day's sun?
Could it be a mere excuse, with most light used on the weak and abused?

I conclude and it does not pain. You remain as a wicked bane.
You embark on tall, empty lies and with them flies, the mark of one insane....

Many human beings consider me an animal that’s beautiful.
I am one of those mammals classified as a marsupial.
Some people call me an “Australian teddy bear”.
However, “koala” is the proper moniker I wear.
This continent down under is my native home.
To other places in the world I do not want to roam.
All of you zookeepers, please don’t take me away.
Here in this land you call “Australia” is where I want to stay.
