You Are a Stencil

I am a pencil,
in this day and age,
computer rage,
I am a pencil,
unused, 
but you chew on me for inspiration,
I am a pencil.

Poetry Escapes Me

Don't tease me with words,
they fly away uncaged birds
and none fill the lines
except the ink flow unused 
as it waits release to speak.

Premium Member I'm an expert word inventor

Why does English have so many words
that have two or more meanings attached

There's many unused letter combos
(which my "invalid" Scrabble words hatched!)

Premium Member Pink Fancy Soap

Pink fancy soap often left an unused scent sensation,
More or less aesthetic used only as a pink decoration
Upon the left back corner of the vanity mirror and sink.

Cloud of apricot bloom weary and drowsy whenever our gazes collide Your harbor has dark and dawn rhyme in an ether-like cadence

Politians promise you the earth just for voting for me   
Its election day but my vote will stay unused its apathy
You owe your country and your family  love use your x

Premium Member UNUSED MISTLETOE

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sniffles invade cheer~ Tinsel bright, throat very tight. Unused mistletoe, kisses taste like grape cough drops. Snowflakes dance; I ache in bed.

Unused Sizes

Look at size,
From the atom,
To mountains,
To planets,
To galaxies,
We are aware,
Of a lot of spectrum,
But how much of it,
We can move and use,
Only a little,
Most of it is beyond,
And on a natural “refuse”.

Premium Member Poppin

           Fireworks 
    dance in my eyes,
    you’re my January;
An unused breed of attitude;
             Poppin’
 in with an aphrodisiac;
My virtue is gift wrapped,
    will you break me 
            tonight?

Premium Member office space that has never sold

A spacious office was big and bold
Now it is an unused space, painted bold
There is a hut-like cubbyhole with mold
To get in there, your legs have to fold
The air is on high, so this space is cold
Hoarder-messy, it has never sold

Premium Member Trivial Pursuit

Listen to poem:
Beyond
These trivial pursuits
The day looms long,
Largely unused, unplanned,
Promising unimportant
Activities.
Anticipating alternatives,
Inertly I idle,
Mind meandering meaninglessly,
Mildly morose,
Diffident, diffuse,
And aimless.

An Unused Life

I want a life with no regrets 
one shiny, bright, and new
bereft of stains and rips and tears
untarnished and unused.

No dents or dings, not slightly worn
refurbished just won't do
I want a life with no regrets
and I want it minus you.

The Red of Anger

Armed with the proper medicine

To face the awakening Armageddon

Tap into a berserker's adrenaline

Hurricane apocalypse gasoline felon

My brain food is the unused mind

I eat from your split melon

I hope now I got your full attention

Premium Member Conclusions

Don't let anyone 
with bad eyebrows give you life
advice - it ends badly.

I don't mind seeing my ex with
someone else - I usually donate
unused things to the less fortunate.

I wonder how many
calories I burn jumping
to wrong conclusions.
Form: Senryu

Hit and Miss

I don't breathe,
The air only escapes,
Out of holes in my neck,
Dripping words down onto my hands,
After applying exasperated ink,
The exhausted paper drapes,
As the second joker in a deck,
Unused in games of sport and unwanted by popular demand.

Rusty

Hello again my old old friends
It's time to sing along again
 
A sweet song of long harsh cues
And war between a lovely two

Here I am rusty yet bright
New colors and an unused light

Hello again my old old friends
Hello 
Hello
I'm Back... 
Again... 
Again.

Four weak tools
unused by confidence
Four weak tools
unused by positive people living their bliss

Those who have
Not discovered their own
Brilliance or Creativity yet

Vicious Cycle

You cannot choose not to think 
And hope for a change 

Think out of the box
If you must leave the cycle 
In life, it goes to return 

You are blessed with a brain for a reason
Ignoring it is inviting doom
If you leave it unused
Many are ready to control you

Premium Member Ultimate Poem On My Mind

Brilliant unused ideas hard to find
Some flit by but are any of them whole?
Fantastical theories parade in my mind
But I want the ones that entice my soul
To write ultimate poem is my goal
Frown upon finish for this not the one
Forgetting today that writing is fun

Puzzle

The pieces fit together-
I know they do.

I just can’t find the right pieces-
I can’t figure this puzzle out.

The pieces: all a scattered mess.
How do I string them together?

Piles upon piles- 
Abandoned.
Unused.

But they have to have a use-
I know they do.

Premium Member Abandoned In Synonyms

once impulsive        now

deserted   forsaken
                  cast aside
jilted
stranded
              rejected
dumped
ditched
                 unused

neglected
             idle
                unoccupied
uninhabited

I stand empty

      words fail me
Form: Verse

Empty Stares

empty stares 
glazed over 
gazes spread 
across their 
faces
empty mental space
is never able to be filled
there exists to much 
unused mental real estate 
within their empty heads 
unfathomable stupidity 
goes far beyond what the 
mind is able to ever fully 
comprehend
Form: Lyric

Premium Member Nostalgia In the Haze

intimate season abode
snow gateway
towel
sands at sundown
veranda
keep an eye out
in the roadways

I bore a portrait
because it ne'er was

keep it veiled
in the cloud
from my musings
only this
Wandering verdict
echo
unused passion
