Writing Poems | Examples of Writing Poetry

Speak your melodies and I'll dream of harmonies that will someday be befitting of your artistry Similarly Voice your euphony and I'll dream of poetry that will someday be worthy of your flattery, and lure you into rhapsody - pure ecstasy with each word that breathes between the pages from beneath those eyes that never cease to critique, and a breath that reeks of deceit and deserted...

Caustic memories dissolve on my tongue Lingering tastes of battery acid and nicotine Cause me to choke on putrid saliva. Staring at melting walls, clocks tick in unison. Distorted birdsong hums outside of jagged windows Under the warped sun, an unrepentant landscape blurs. Freshly budding peonies liquefy; Veils thin, evaporating the...

To hands that toil from dawn till night, In sun's harsh blaze or fading light, You build the world we proudly see, With silent strength and dignity. You mend the roads, you sow the land, With weathered skin and calloused hands. Your sweat is ink on history's page, Your spirit—brave, no gilded cage. No marble hall, no silver throne, Can stand without the stone...

Mountains made of waves tore the flesh from Mother Earth — flayed and flooding. The mud grieves beneath her, clogged with stagnant saline. She used to breathe — rivers ran wild and free, forests stood tall and proud. For she was once lush — verdant skin stretched over a trembling core, veins of sapphire seas pulsing with breath. But we carved into her with teeth...

I won’t ever bank on trendy, I am here striving for timeless. That crowd with a vision of me when they see a little black dress. Hair and nails display the finesse that translates to each pretty word. Simple clean lines but nonetheless cursive’s curled drama is inferred....

I slipped through reality, In a threadbare dreamscape, stitched with denial. Just when I thought, I was over it It came back to haunt to show me how I cannot escape if my mind doesn't They say faded memories don't taunt you. But when they do I leave everything behind Even my conscience to- Run away to hide in...

Don’t feel like writin’ today Y’know, kinda like I could find fault with a sunrise My head feels like it’s full Of little dust bunnies Y’know Those under the bed Tumbleweeds I watched the NFL DRAFT And got a crick in my neck Saw two mice stagger into a cat house To watch a possum pole dance At my age I get nervous When I see a SELF CHECK-OUT...

When my heart sings, I write it down. When pain brings me to tears, when my soul cries out for release, I write my hopes and fears. Maybe its bad, maybe its profound; it doesn't matter to me. It matters just to write it here; to make what isn't, be. Is it more true on this...

I loved you with both hands broken, offered you oceans cupped in cracked palms, watched it leak, leak, leak, through fingers too battered to hold a tide. I made myself a museum of becoming, stitched old prayers into the walls, hung portraits of the selves I killed to be loved, polished my ribs until they gleamed like pearls, sewed silk into my voice, laced...

As a poet, I never claimed to be any good. If you think I did, you've misunderstood. I only said that between me and Shakespeare, there's only one winner-take-all there. And I left it up to you to guess who....
