Beggar | Lucia Daramus - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

Beggar | Lucia Daramus

I am alone. Alone. Alone!
I’m crying in the middle of the street
and my howl is green
the madness which I am growing is black
my father kept my hand
and he said me
you will eat a bread from the place
where is your soul !
How truth and how untruth
I’m hungry
truly hungry
my soul is in poetry
the poetry fill the brain and heart
I’m writing poetry from my dark loneliness
I’m writing with blood and
and –
with my horses herd from my mind
waiting the death
as a blue- red pillar of fair
and over these the white bird
from my soul
but I am a beggar, a poet- beggar

Secret Cemented Underworld | Rising of the Sun - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

Secret Cemented Underworld | Rising of the Sun

Our existence had been an escape.
Sefless and innocent we were.
We knew nothing but yawn .
Searching for suck to pin-point.
When we grew up.
We knew their had been a secret,
hidden from our prescence.
Maybe heavy for us to carry.
Engulfed with devil’s blood.
The tales from devil’s world.
There had been a secret before we was.
Secret of our generation.
The one as a master key to our future.
How to get to underworld?
With confusion bloodshot.
We haven’t unlock any.
Many journey to embark.
Many keys to open.
Many throb enstrangled.
Inside underworld lain black blood.
The race is tough but never be scared to hold to the end.
Our secrets was tied innocently in unknown far place.
No light for action.
No source of animal reaction.
Clumsy thoughts that play violently on our cloud.
Our minds emptied with free-fall erosion.
Awake, my soul!
Empty heart, rise to your feet to.
There is more in the cloud to see.

The Pumpkins | Angel Edwards - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

The Pumpkins | Angel Edwards

The pumpkins are a family
just as it sounds
a fun family of pumpkins
a four piece family
Mom Pumpkin
Dad Pumpkin
and their children
Jolly Pumpkin
Grinn Pumpkin
identical twins

They all liked
to wear a fancy hat
but their heads
were too round
to keep a hat on

Green stems and roots
served as shoes and boots
steadily on the ground
the pumpkins got around

There was a lot to be seen
in Pumpkin Town
circus of flowers
a merry go round

They took turns
carving each other’s faces

Mrs.Pumpkin carved
Mr. Pumpkins face
into a worried frown
Mr. Pumpkin didn’t like this
He screamed the place down

Jolly came to the rescue
made it into a smile
Mr Pumpkin’s mouth
stretching for a mile

Twinkling Lights | Ian Lewis Copestick - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

Twinkling Lights | Ian Lewis Copestick

The sky is dark purple
And I can’t see a single star
The only things twinkling
Are faraway orange streetlights
On the horizon
It still looks pretty good though
Even if they are man made
And not the type of things
That people usually get
Romantic about
A twinkling light is a twinkling light
At the end of the day
Living in a run down environment
You have to take your romance
Wherever you can get it

No Retreats | Jonathan Abayo - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

No Retreats | Jonathan Abayo

I sat beside
The quite stream
Tortoising and calm
Thrilled in mind
Aha! I heard a tune
A baby on mummy’s laps
Such was a giant spirit
No longer utter
Should I!
Would I!
Could I!
State of winning composure
Overwhelmed with failures
And discouraged with petty gains
I’m an ant, I’ll move on
I’m a lion so aggressive
My attitudes Leopard to sober
Hare in decision
I see future like giraffe
Tougher elephant
I don’t wanna be a Buffalo
Conscious antelope
I’m Kilimanjaro
I’m Everest
Call me Amazon
I’m Ngorongoro
My name is Atlantic
Call me Indian
Label me Pacific
Place my world Africa
My feet on America
My walks on Europe
Asia shout me universe
No limit on Earth,
Jupiter, Mars, shoot up Pluto
State of mind humour
Tragedy my experience
No regrets Sun
You have morning
You have afternoon
Let the night awhile
And shine your smile
Like Savanna blossoms
Bliss and twinkle
Everyday is tomorrow

The Thing Is… | Stan Morrison - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

The Thing Is… | Stan Morrison

i checked the hall to see what was happenin
i only saw myself reflected in the hall mirror
i’m the only one who knows the real deal
i’m the only one who sees what’s goin on
look at yourself in a full-length mirror
just be careful no one else is watching
I see no need for everyone to catch on
if they knew, they’d know, it’d be th’end
stay alert, do nothing stupid or careless
remember, i’ll be watching every move
