Youthfully Poems | Examples

Next Generation

Alas! Alas!
Season near past…
Age all but gone,
youth comes waddling
on our heels along: new lingo, with
movements, though awkward
youthfully strong – Alas! Alas!
Fogies must step aside~

gracefully-move-on….

Time

Would we could turn back the hours;
transport rearward that small hand,
take back a few we wasted,
perhaps youthfully misused.

Yet, if it was made be so,
of which past hours to erase?
For each led to another,
an autumn leaf on river.

Lee Retiree, 66 Remix

Lee Retiree, 66 Remix
Never one to be lazy,
Lee’s energy astonishes,
Clarity hallmark avoids the hazy,
Kristie et. al. he garnishes,
Materials investigator a la Dick Tracy,
Friends, Lee never tarnishes,
Quick stick moves as a Blue Jay,
Loyalty, he harnesses,
Learned from all at Poly,
Save the nobility (Kedusha),
Of the morning (Youthfully),
For some, retiree harshness,
An evening, but we wish Lee’s a dawning Be!

A Sullen Silken Star

Stiffly staring
from a faded
frightened far
is a sullen
silken star.
Scornfully
scattered behind
it’s skittish
skin of scolded
scowling scars.
Youthfully
yearning
for a life
contentedly
cleansed in
candlelight.

I Did

I did

I 
Apparently 
Blindly 
Cautiously 
Delicately
Enthusiastically 
Falteringly 
Gracefully
Haphazardly 
Innocently 
Jokingly 
Kaleidoscopically
Lamentably 
mostly Masterfully 
not Necessarily 
Obviously Ostentatiously
Playfully but Practically 
Questionably
Readily 
Silently 
Thankfully 
Unusually 
Vivaciously
Wickedly  
eXcellently
Youthfully
Zestfully 
Changed my mind.

Dark Glasses

Memories sweet or pity
May be seen through dark glasses
I cherished the memories of the time we once spent together
When we are young
The scenery shimmered through the morning haze
The blue sky looked soft and low 
The mountains looked youthfully green
The waves of the sea danced sentimentally
Soft inquisitive voices of the sea murmured like the tick-tock of a clock
The sceneries are still lingering on my dark glasses
Whenever I put it on nowadays
And so dark glasses is believed to be
The camera film of the memories of 
The unforgetable past

The Good Old Days

my Father’s smile is a memory dear to me
              smelling freshly made bread and seeing frost on the trees
                       playing outside and feeling youthfully free
                   enjoying a family campfire in the evening breeze

                        I remember bicycle rides on country roads
                       my mother working hard to lessen our load
                    life in my youth before those dreaded crossroads
                       we played without internet and no download

                           we swung on ropes and climbed up hills
                     we dealt with our problems without taking a pill
                     I used my imagination for adventures and thrills
                          kisses on my cheek when I was feeling ill.

              we danced in the rain and smelled the fresh flowers in May
                      I remember enjoying life in many different ways
                              we rode horses and cut our own hay
                        these are my memories of the good old days

Poem Speech- Yyyummmahhh

yyyummmahhh

yyy u mmm ahhh

you understand meaning as historical.......
yet...unless memory agrees...helpfull
years underlying millennial ages hopefully
yelp until mind accepts handiwork
yielding unfailing machineries attached heredetarily...
youthfully unbelievable metamorphical advantages........heterogeneously
yaughting undercurrents...managably articulating halting
yardsticks...unavoidable misgivens always happen

Age

When one reaches a certain age
it is difficult to move far from
death – I mean, to counter, such
negativity, I make it a point
to see every sunrise as my best – 
making, luscious, painted vases 
out of cloud-forms; filling them 
to overflowing with fancy roses 
despite the obvious chill in the air 
and my double knit sweater. 

I guess, what I’m trying to
to say is, while still having 
my senses, and somewhat pain
free, I will dream youthfully – 
and who is really, definitively
to say, where one
life ends 
and another 
                              begins….

Fatally Written

All is not fatally written;
though no one leaves
the positive alive – I mean, 
ink dries and paper becomes
wrinkled and brittle...as those relationships
we wish to youthfully revive – but we are born dying –

let’s face it…

                        and despite the fact
that earth’s seasons wither then
restore, there is an under-toe
drawing us toward the sun...

the flip-side of awakening. 

One consolation is, I have been drenched
by Divine Light – far more brilliant
and powerful than any Hydrogen Furnace – 

yet, there was no pain and suffering –

only profound, comforting love….

My Inspiring Brother Vijay Kumar

Vijay you are such an
Inspiring character possessing extreme                          
                            talents and capable of:
Jovially handling sensitive people,
Aiding weak souls 
Youthfully —which is truly good.

Keep going little chap
Understanding you to the core is
Mesmerizing, enriching and pleasing and
                                 i am
Awe-struck at your sense of humour that
                        you seamlessly flourish,also
Radiantly spreading smile everywhere.

Generations

Eager, hungry eyes
At any moment
Ready to push another down 
All for the promise of a couple inches of ground
Closer to the door
Closed behind another door 
Already locked
Packed tight into a room 
Already sealed off from the rest of the world
Grouped together in small packs
All vaulting together 
Like a group of intricate locks
Visions of success
With eccentric keys to open the doors
Always searching for the next score
A youthfully ardent thirst for more
Always searching for the next score
Going insane as I sit by the shore
Seeming to always look down upon the poor
Realizing that we are all equally the same
Gradually docking my hefty boat at bay
Wasting away until I decay
Sometimes I wish I could just float away
