Task Poems - Poems about Task

TO THE TASK AHEAD FOR OUR WRITERS No one can write our story but us; His story merely footnotes us:- In the culture of the penned word, We must personally ink ourstory; Footnoting history’s keloid pains:- In doing so, the rules must be ours As opposed to those of anglophobia:- In our midst, do we not have Our own Prophets, Scribes, and Seers? Do we...

Mary Lou Sims was young and enterprising, like stars routing dark; Or mauve dawn on the verge of discovery, awaiting time's remarks. Mary Lou's best friend was Cora Mann, ever since sweet childhood; When they'd sat in zesty school together, in the town of 'Wildwood.'

Oh, what fun it is to pray For lunch to save the day—HEY! Single spells, single...

We always work together side by side. Even when it means we make the path real wide. My archangel please tell...

The jury’s duty is impossible. They have to decide who is lying. The defendant says he is innocent. Police say he is guilty. Defense lawyer says he was falsely accused. Points out his ex-wife works for the lab and wants him imprisoned. Police detectives are leaning on the DNA blood evidence. Who is lying and how many of them? It is a...

If a task is difficult, tough, laborious and hard. Give it to a singer, a dancer, a poet, a bard. Let them change it from troublesome to something fun. Before you know it, you will be dancing, and the task will be done....

This is the sole source of my peace; For every smile and confidence, every piece; You may not agree with me...

Please persist With poetry, Though you stand accused Of wasting precious time On the silly art of rhyme. You have a task, You poets. Of re-presenting life, The essence to attain Thus making real again. You live for others, Via poetry. Watching with all senses, Hearing with emotions And feeling through expressions. You forge a link, Through poems. With lilting turn of phrase And silky sequinned word You make your reason heard. You sow a...
