Uncommon Poems - Poems about Uncommon

Uncommon Ancestor

I am wearing heavy feathers
with the gaze of the day lit to my backside.
A rotisserie routine,
hot with punishment and prayer.
Prayer for punishment,
punishment for prayer.

Answers from a sky beaded in blue birds,
upon gods’ supposed pretty blue fabric.
Crowned crows and drowned geese
barking their bird songs—
like god’s dog, a dog’s god.

Feedback fed back to my waterproof back.
Backed by

Uncommon Repose

I hope you find yourself calm; next to me, in uncommon, repose
Like a peony, your beauty willingly unfolds so naturally plain
I found myself undeniably happy in the feelings to you; I expose

You heal my wounds; the ones that no one else knows 
Written for you with hearts; bright red as blood in a vein 
I

Van Gogh: Uncommon Valor

#1: The Cravings Cull

the cravings have come back ...
and, they are so more restless ...
at my finger's edge ...
they cull at you--an easy picking, know they their victim's all ...
but their unrest is incomplete ...
in me ...
they never rest ...
like now ...
constantly, the cravings are insatiable
and the only way I knew, was to fight and

Uncommon Sense

I wish I were an educated woman
But sadly, I am not.
I have to rely on common sense
As much as I have got
You don't have to write a thesis
Or a Shakespeare play
You have to think carefully
And be straightforward with what you say.
Some educated scholars,
Are a credit to their craft
Unfortunately, others lack common sense,
They're daft.
It is essential

Uncommon Sense

Our physical world that we travel upon,
    Showers our senses with volumes to understand.
        Yet there's a wide range of comprehension,
            That often tests realities hand.

For example, our tactile sense, that we 
 

Uncommon Sense

It's no longer common
unlike years ago
What once was sound judgment
today no one knows

Selfish and addled
and atrophied minds
are prone to suggestions
with evil designs

And scarce is discernment
it's known by but few
who march to their own beat
so simple, yet true

Away from the darkness
straight into the light
Their path may be lonely
but at least it is right

While staring at cell

Uncommon Sight

To see the world, all the good 
as a child at a seasonal faire  
counting months in inches grown
and inherited faint-colored hairs. 
 
All days number 
three hundred and sixty five
so glad they still are.. 
same as the nights,
in eternity of a young life  
under crackling camp fires
and countless unnamed stars. 

We survivors,

Uncommon Courage

When does one rash courage summon
To do a thing quite uncommon
Like king David's son, Amon:
The negatively uncommon
One wouldn't link with Solomon
Nor with the Quite Normal Human
With no business  with Mammon ?
Carthage's Hannibal against Rome,
When snow should have kept him at home?
The courage one would never kill,
Until one has climbed Begging Hill;
While one won't want

Uncommon Pleasure

From the blood 
Of false conscience
A sweet nectar is distilled
Drank by those immersed 
In the pleasure of virtue

Uncommon

we soared over clouds
didn't dare look below
capricious emotions
could wither or grow

you played your guitar
i liked what i heard
but to finish your song
you needed my word

   i'm low man on the totem pole
   and you're my belle of rock and roll
   "now play that song with twice the soul -

Uncommon Desire

Assimilated hope was slowly dying,
it was a famine time of charity — 
A moral plague that persisted four centuries
The stench of hatred hung heavy
in the unforgiving air,
as the spittle of anger reigned
over barren hearts

Letting stunted promises drench hollow souls,
whose thirsty craniums
were filled with epidermal fear toxicity
Iron sky yield ... putrid harvest 
of melting pot hope

Uncommon Courtesy

The bookstore door

startles open with

a man's hearty hand

and sincere smile 

landing upon

this skirted lady, 

bashful to be 

coddled, but

undoubtedly 

wanting it.

Mirrored cheeks widen  

like the open door

with hearts extending.

Thanks is verbalized

and humbly

appreciated.

He tilts his top hat

and I am flattered

by the flirt

of uncommon

courtesy.

An Uncommon Prayer

Beloved
You know we are beyond imagination
for are you not!

Right hand and left
we hold together all possibilities.

Teach us how to be human,
teach us to be humble
yet only as humble 
as the brightest star.

Humble the ego,
it is a clever snake,
but still only a snake, 
not holy, not real, but even ego
can be a light if it loves

An Uncommon Sanctuary

My sanctuary is a common place
I keep it devoid of the human race

A little paint on the glass makes a sign
"Through these doors lies a solution Divine"

"The value of 'x' is to be made clear
As you, too, will hold algebra dear"

Though years have passed and science has been cheered
Algebra alone is hated and feared

A perfect

Uncommon Audacity

she's claustrophobic,
yet faces her fear head on
she goes spelunking.
