Premium MemberSurgical Words

May my words cut deeply into thy soul as a sharpened sword
Loosening the impediments of fear and hate causing your discord
May they like the shinning surgical blade make their incisions
Removing all delusion and indecision

Yet, also let them be as precise as a master surgeons work
Clearing even those hidden elements as they lie in lurk
Waiting to surprise and cause great demise
With full effect causing great pain and loud cries

But let my closing bring healing and peace
As the comforting sigh you now release
Let my words, now new seeds be
For you to use eternally

Let them nurture and encourage your life
Helping to endure and overcome strife
Knowing my love will always endure
And always be there for you, for sure

Words may be sharp, but be used to be kind
It’s just a matter of which ones you find
Every word I say traveling to thee
Is meant to bring love and comfort from me

Premium MemberTime's Happiness Rhyme

    O, Happy Day!
        Now just a minute here
     A day is a Biblical construct of time
 
        Attribute its ‘happiness’ 
            ~ to old-fashioned rhyme

Premium MemberWords of Encouragement

Words of Encouragement

Sometimes you need this from the ones you admire most
The best compliments are from those who are close
High fives can't be given by someone with a closed fist
Commending others isn't something you should resist
Receiving it is like that boost of energy that keep you going
Its a warm sweater when winds of discouragement start blowing
We would never know what a couple of words can do
One day you might need those same words to be used on you
Motivation gives everyone a reason to strive harder or start new
So always give others that extra push with a few lines or two

Premium MemberA Gentleman Left This World Two Days Ago

      A gentleman I know
        who’s held in high esteem
      left this world two days ago 
        smiling softly in a dream

      His tombstone bore the words below:
       ‘Ended life as he began
      Never uttered an unkind word
        about his fellow man’

Premium MemberWords Cut Deep

I realize that I cut you deep
With this awful words I said
Those words now permanent
Living forever in your head

If you happen to forgive me
Those words stuck in your brain 
Will forever be playing over
As they continue causing pain

No matter how much I try
Those words will not erase 
You'll be reminded with pain
Every time you see my face 

How can you ever love me
After everything that i said 
We are victims of my words
And our love is now dead


Verbal Saint-Gaudens

It only takes one
as words rise together
It only takes one
new phrases release

It only takes one
to carve out a memory
It only takes one
— your words in relief

(Dreamsleep: September, 2025)

Writing Poetry

Writing poetry is never easy.
Starting has always been hard.
Ideas rarely flow smoothly
Distractions leave the paper marred.

Thoughts confuse the writing
And never let me think.
Contradictions result from this
And drive me to the brink.

Meter and tone must be perfectly right
And rhyme must be even better.
“Proper Form” should be used,
On down to every letter.

The most difficult part of all
As some may quickly see,
Comes when trying to finish.
It is to end my poetry.

Premium MemberListen to the Wind


I listen to the wind as it dries my tears 
     because its flowing current is wiser than all my years.
                                            ~ Quote by poet

Wind is never silent, echoing its cries 
   Sings in the night to stars in celestial skies 
Stories are told upon the rushing wind 
   but in the telling, never does it feel chagrined. 
Quicker than a heartbeat, it errantly flies. 

Across mountain peaks its music is heard. 
   In harmony, I listen to every word. 
I feel the cold of its temperate sting 
   and along with its beckoning lyrics, I sing. 
When its message touches me, I am stirred.   

In a gentle voice through meadows, it talks 
   Capturing my attention on morning walks 
Inviting me along with flowers to take flight  
   to soar to the moon. I'd accept the invite 
if I had pinion wings like eagles and hawks. 

I listen to the wind as it howls without grace, 
blows briny waves of saltwater in my face. 
It speaks of love in such a solemn breath 
In its stillness, sometimes I hear it mourning death.

Premium MemberPoetic Ballet

As if by magic the words appear
like gentle whispers that I hear
they blend together like perfect paint
sometimes whispering ever so faint.

With each brush stroke or tip of pen
the magic flows like peaceful Zen
ink pirouettes upon my page
like a Prima ballerina upon her stage.

Stanzas created as words come to play
forming together like poetic ballet
sometimes moving with beautiful grace
sometimes running to another place.

Words dance and slowly unfold
like a ballet story that needs to be told
starting with a Plie, done with ease
Poems form and aim to please.

There may be days you want to stop
just like The Nutcracker was once a flop
but now it’s famous, shared worldwide
so keep on writing, chasse or glide.

Let words appear without the strain
gently does it, you don’t want pain
Choreography & dance all take time
never rush performance or rhyme.

Premium MemberProstitutes and Lovers

I. Prostitutes 
Poets words are prostitutes,
Used for any writer’s pleasure,
‘Love’ and ‘death,’ ‘light’ and ‘dark,’
Among my worst offenders.

Unlike a painting’s virgin virtue,
With shapes like never seen before,
In colours just that very shade,
Unique in each of form.

Love and death are my whores too,
Whose rates are precious pain,
Never free the words we use,
Piercing time and time again.

II. Lovers
My words are tender lovers,
Whom I touch upon with care,
Flitting beauties, feathered wonders,
Whose dressing music I can wear.

My should I hold the music captive,
Arrangement words of note,
With power to soothe a race vindictive,
Make heard the quiet, give them hope.

As a stave holds finite lines,
Our language but some words,
But in those happy few we find,
Potential for new patterns, 
Hitherto unheard.

One Time Only

Waiting
for the
audience
to come to him ...
He refused
to go to them

Shunning
those ears
that hide
from the truth ...
Like a rose
without its stem

Working
in concert
with Muses
above ...
What’s sacred 
to remain

Each word
and its
treasure
a gift given once ...
Their measure
— to proclaim

(Dreamsleep: August, 2025)

Premium MemberAnother Beckoning Contest Deserving Effort

Fascinated, Gainfully Harnessed, Impishly Joyful
Again, a contest I can't deny.
There's someone though, who makes me grateful
While I sit and ponder, knowing my.
 
Kind, Loyal, Muse, Nicely Observes
My constant request for her inspiration.
By finding words this poem deserves
Through her obliging communication.

Perusing Quests Requires Studious Time
To edit, correct, some lines rearrange.
Ensuring then my end words all rhyme
Therefore, deliberate lines to exchange.

Unquestioned Victory, With Xenial Yes!
Together my muse and I agree.
These words are ours, but now confess
My secret muse is really like me!

The Blank Page

The sheet is blank, and so's the mind
It's hard to think it so unkind
That friend that's been with you so long
Declining now to come along
It was not always thus, and so
At times so willingly to go
It led some place you'd rather not
Wondering just how you got
From here to there and back again
But still you treat it like a friend
Sometimes one that's led astray
Sometimes the one you hope will stay
For friends are dear, we know that now
Another hand upon the plow
Another shoulder in the trace
Which pulls its weight in that hard place
Aligns us there within the race
Drops us right into that place
Where furrowed brow relaxes now
And finds the rest none can efface

Waxing Poetic

A quick study
fast learner
knowledge gainer
page-turner
info. retainer
midnight lube burner
all at sea
in a world of turmoil
choosing my words carefully
pouring oil on turbulent waters
a salve to soothe the sorry soul
picking only those
which carry weight
reset the balance
and the sentiment I wish to state
losing myself in the still point
of my poetry
it's there where I find
sweet sanctuary

Premium MemberOozing Words TSF

Written: August 21, 2025, for contest by Charles Messina

          **********

Drum beat
soft rays
moon slip
words ooze
eyes shut
winds rose
night sweet

Dark thread
tears swell
hands shake
dreams lull
skies fall
birds cry
heart treat

Stone mute
veins bloom
grief hums
hope falls
time bends
light goals
dust rush

Mind stays
truth leans
steps slow
thoughts brew
stars gleam
fears shaft
voice hush
