Short Well Versed Poems

well   you got me beat

                                         the wrong end

                                      of the meter stick

Romantic poetry, 
Once translated into:
Caresses, 
Affection and 
Kisses 
Easily understood is, 
Even 
By a not well-versed  
Heart!

Versed in minor poems
Until I came to thee
Doors then opened
That were closed

Exposing delight 
For me to see
Your countenance
Enthralled me

The many poems
Of many races
The poems 
Of many hues

Oh the joy of reading
All well versed
Of Mother Earth
Through Poetry Soup...

Cloth of gold circled her feet
Sitting at her tapestry kindly smile
Dear, you love me do you not?
With all my heart Sweetest !
She clapped her hands twice
Banquet  table , minstrels , ice 
Bright  eyes blue loved to stress
Well versed charms all impressed
Sat down in ceremony served a treat...

What are heartfelt emotions without words to caress them?
What are well-versed phrases without actions to address them?
What are thoughtful beliefs without truths to express them?
What are feelings, flattery, faith without proof to refresh them?

Pots of gold at the ends of a sky full of ribbons
Upon boxes of beautifully wrapped gifts never given....

The volume of all of life's channels is turned up
loud, but not loud enough.
The actors are in the ever present
but the viewers watch in fast forward

complaining all the while 
      that the characters act like the children they are 
but they grow up too fast.
      that she doesn't know what's behind the door
and yet mourn when she's all too well-versed....

David seems to have the knack
Although he thinks he’s cursed
With the gift of tongues
He is exceedingly well versed

No language is a hurdle
To this fellows conversation
He can get his point across
To any man from any nation

But when it comes to ladies
Words are gibberish and random
He is tongue tied and he’s speechless
‘cause he just can’t understand ‘em...

Many of the greats in poetry are said to be eloquent beings,
Well-versed in language as well as the human mind, soul, and heart.
Their legacy of distinct impressions;
Such aureate diction surely leaves the world a more vibrant, colorful place,
But at times I wonder: Do THEY leave this world more vibrant?...

To those who remind me of the boy in the back
Your intelligence is spellbinding
And I am entranced entirely
Your heart is as smart as your mind
Oh, you are seamless
But to those who remind me of the boy in the back
You are not that shadowy figure
Sitting behind the girls in the front
You are not well-versed in philosophical problems
You are not the boy in the back
Though you cast that image...

Dream Dates are never dreamy, because of their perfection,

Not dreamy from strict parenting, or Natural Selection;

Quite simply Dream Dates are so, because they put us first,

It’s selfless consideration—in which Dream Dates are well-versed;

Next chance—be someone’s Dream Date, make a genuine connection!

I'm an angry, hateful, spiteful, dangerous person well versed in the art of lying! The cause of many lost souls who lay dying. You try to wipe the tears, but your eyes they're never drying. I stay high on your low; you try to step away but I make sure you have no where to go! With me you will learn a lesson; don't think of it as a curse take it as a blessing; one day you'll see that the person you hate isn't really me its you!...

Dorian Grey
has lost all trace of his self-image.
Like many elderly male models,
there are now no mirrors in his mind.
Musty images of his centenarius youth
are hid in crusty shoeboxes.

Like many, he collects his social security,
munches slowly on a daily bowl of Cheerios,
then entertains himself
by watching cat videos on YouTube.

Sometimes, he pens the odd melancholy muse
as do many another, well versed
senior citizen....

Saying there is a rock bottom 
Absurd to me 
One well versed being in pits
I never felt rocks  beneath 
Hitting rock bottom 
Different for each
You might sink down 
To a sandy beach.
But that would be 
To easy a fate
To be in a pit of hell 
And only scathed 
On the way down 
Rocks of hate
Ripping the soul
Self inflicted as you know
But the sandy  bottom 
Please don't tell.
It's my secret, I only attest
That it is cold....

Well versed are traversed
.....the fully immersed,
versatile thru the turnstiles
left behind are footprints
that go on for miles....

Magnetic is the wheel
that you constantly feel
circadian is the rhythm
....souls migratory zeal,
compasses direction
.......in chaotic spin,
intoxication is the motion
unknowing whereupon to begin....

The flow of the energy,
eventually pulls....
unified synergy,
lifting heads above in lull.........

Well versed person in never enamored,
As Mithya consorts to transcend to childhood,
Youth or the aged physical consciousness;
Neither affected by good or bad in life.

Joys and sorrow like cold and hot weather,
Touch not creative or destructive senses, 
Residing as unique undefined being,
Within our soul we garner to suffer.

Atma plays with Maya in novel rebirths,
Dons different wombs to one's salvation?

She was well-versed in writing,
With words which touches the heart more than the pierce of a nose ring,
Her characters are bold,
With a nature both haughty and cold.

Elizabeth did find her Darcy at last,
Though she did not explore him much,
Like finding a piece of creamy cake after hours of fast,
And finding someone who is one such!

She wrote at a time when much women could not,
Thirsty for expressing - like the oozing blood from a cut without getting clot....

Flow of pleasant wind
With slow flow say something
Someone understood well the flow
And try to well versed 
Magical magic of the nature
Every moment creating new tune
Fall of rain fragrance of earthen
Slow flow of river Ganga
Spread only love 
Make its reach to each heart
Beauty of your is work of nature
And innocent like Ganga River
Like the melodies sound of Ganga waves
Your lips also spread melody
You are both called heavenly art
You are both creation of god...

Indubitably, you're a writer like me
But your world is drenched in apathy
You're plodding through with lethargy
To write words so unclear.

Introvert, you're unrehearsed
Yet so well versed
In lines that hurt
And tear apart the things that I hold dear.

My love for you
It still holds true
You're begging me to notice you
But I sense that you're a person of regret.

In stanzas and soliloquy
The daggers you choose carefully
Are aimed to say
"I'll criticize you yet"....

Well versed
    rehearsed
    Best man
    began
    He joked
    provoked
    Each word
    was slurred
    Blah blah
    faux pas
    Defamed
    and shamed
    The bride
    soon cried
    Now crushed
    she blushed
    Red faced
    disgraced
    Without
    a doubt
    He put 
    his foot
    Inside
    his snide
    Wide scouth
    loud mouth
    Not quite 
    contrite
    Ashamed
    he blamed
    His botch
    on Scotch.

She protruded from a background well-versed in mythology
Riddled in metaphors
Steeped in false parameters
Yet gifted in iambic pentametre
She coughed a bloodied bee onto her lap
and let the sparks fly.

She married a beekeeper in two syllables
And bit her tongue
Whilst the lines absolved her dichotomy of life
She tripped over her song's rhyme
She whistled a white-hole onto the page
And dropped herself inside.

Her jar will always be half-empty, with complete thoughts....

The shower is where we go to get dirty 
A domain of filthy activity & debauchery 
Together, we defile the sanctity of a shared space 
An exercise for the well versed 
Maneuvers that would make an acrobat blush 
Water droplets mark the beginning of sensual hurricane 
Swirled strokes to shake up the epicenter 
Gripping the handles to hold onto dignity 
Inhibitions tackled and thrown down the drain 
Cleanliness, no longer lives between us 
The shower, a whirlpool of emotions...

A lot can be said, on the subject of future events
Stock market numbers measured against

Viable companies, yield plentiful profits
CEOs heels grind into the shoulders of giants

Progress is steady. According to plan
No matter the outcomes for creatures or man

All that we see has been staged and well versed
Politicians demanding answers in rhetoric,  rehearsed 

Much can be changed in the way we perceive
In a world forcing science, as a means to believe 

Happy New Year!
