Speaking Poems | Examples

Premium Member physically speaking

I have had a physical but I have never met one.

Premium Member Commenting

say it your way but be positive with whatever you have to say

Premium Member Speaking The Truth

Like the nectar of a ripe peach taste,
is the outcome of a word well placed.
For truth as it begins to unfold,
is understood only if correctly told.


Premium Member Caveman Speaking

You ask me why I live in cave
Caveman not want to be a slave
I take a chance and look around
I see that people act like clown

Your little ones you not take care
You always running here and there
You drop them off at crazy school
No discipline when they break rule

They spend their time in front of screen
You wonder why they act so mean
They don’t know sex or what is real
By age of ten know how to kill

Government tells you what to do
You give up trying to be you
Purpose of life, make more money
Hate is growing it not funny

I choose a life here in my cave
Not make a choice to be a slave
I took the chance to look around
No way I’d choose to live in town

Premium Member collaterally speaking

collaterally speaking...

war is like plowing...
don't like peace...hell!...bomb-plow it:

Politically Speaking

A word or two about my view of the politicians
we presumably put in positions of power
hobbyists bought and paid for under the table
catering to manipulating lobbyists by the hour
where saying nothing yet flapping their gums
offending no one when sitting on the fence
doing naught but wagging their tongues
and all the while protesting their innocence
dodging the bullet by ducking the question 
avoiding the topic with digression
self-serving landing votes with glad-handing
fingers firmly crossed behind the back
conscience-free they sleep well at night
there's nothing (short of gun) can be done to keep them on track
those more than a few who are quite literally
caught red-handed with their pants down
making a mockery of you and me
should be tarred feathered and run out of town


Premium Member Cobblestone Are You Talking?

each Cobblestone makes up the road
ouch from your very sharp high heel shoes

Speaking love

Speaking love
By Reggie
As I think of you, my mind begins to unbind,
and my nerves start to level and calm.
As you come to grasp my heart, and as soon as I feel your touch,
The beats begin to play a loving tune as we head toward the room,
to be alone.
I can tell you my real tone and feel it in my bones
As I explain my love to your understanding and show you what you do to me.
As I tell you seriously, there is nobody else for me—
I am yours for eternity, and that is something my family believes.
I feel so secure at your side, though it’s funny, I know,
But I will stand ready to cover your back and not rely on you for protection—
So I do not lose any ground in life,
As attempts try to destroy my living, my love, my stride.
But these are not just words to me; they are vows of loyalty,
to be fulfilled and promised,
And I hope this is comforting for your knowing,
for it is nothing but my true reality—
Of my feelings and love toward you

Premium Member Speaking of 'The End'

         Horse Pills, Tablets, Liquid Drops
         He’s overmedicated 
         Super-aggravated

         When will all of this stop ~
           when his ‘back-door-trucks’ pop



            ‘You asked for it!’
               ~ You got it!

Premium Member Speaking a Foreign Language

   When I speak a foreign language
       I cross my eyes and dot my teas

   Little wonder I substitute ~
                  ‘Thank you’ for ‘Please’

Speaking to God about it the first time

She kissed me 
She kissed me 
And I tripped over a vine in winter 
The blizzard 
That came stayed warm 
And she became my norm 
Days turned to bliss 
And nights held kiss after kiss
Wish after wish came 
And I saw her forever with the same last name  
And in the beginning I tripped over a vine in winter

Premium Member this thing we call a voice

…And so we write; 

Recognizing ourselves within her various forms.
As she takes the shape of cloud or leaf;
Or the movement of sea or storms.

We leave behind us trails of words, struck in sharp relief;
Fingers touching pen or keys probing joy or grief;
Searching for hope, seeking relevant whispers;
Pleading seminal scope for God or kittens’ whiskers.

We turn ourselves, inside to out, through purge; 
Searching for the ultimate shape, absolute size, 
And perfect cadence of urge,

To capture the Hallelujah Shout
Of our birth, 

Here, 
In this place we call the Earth.
Where we do not have a choice;
Given by our destiny;

This thing: we call a Voice.

THE SPEAKING OF THE TONGUES

Sweeter are the words
That cannot be said
It is so sweet 
Sour are the words
That can be expressed 
It is wonderful thou
A human being,

A voice can modify 
Various languages 
As we speak
And words can be spoken 
In different tongues 
As we roll the tongue 
The tongues have spoken,

Sweeter are the words
That can be spoken 
It is so amazing 
Sour are the words
That can be omitted 
The truth is a wonderful thing
A human being

Speaking Your Mind

Speaking Your Mind

Every time you 
don’t speak your 
mind these things happen:
snails do 
aerobics, flamingos update their 
details on
important apps, palm trees spill 
out Amish hats, combs beg to 
eat 
lemon pie, stools memorise 
flame thrower literature, and
gravy animals, who live in 
the clouds, help out 
swamped midwives.

Premium Member Honestly Speaking Part 2

Honestly Speaking
Familiar faces turn their backs 
They come and go for unknown
Reasons throughout the seasons.
Honestly Speaking 

Maybe the Universe has other
Plans, Let's wait for time for
Truth reveals.  Honestly Speaking
