Who Am I? | Apeksh Mahakalkar

I wonder who am I,
For what I’m here,
What is sake of my life,
For what I’m taking this time,

I work for my,
Wherever I’m there,
I’m here to thrive,
Away from luxury & lime,

People may think me a loser,
Because I can’t please them,
I work for my choice,
Who cares for such people,

I’m made winner,
Because my work is not same,
By doing that I always rejoice,
Loving to do it ample,

Who am I?
I’m a champion,
A champion of myself,
Who lives always selfless.

A La Recherche Des Choses Extraordinaires | Stan Morrison - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

A La Recherche Des Choses Extraordinaires | Stan Morrison

seeking to amass only the rare
one-of-a-kind, museum-worthy
as in “better homes than yours”

shunning the average stuff
dreading the label “ordinary”
defining one’s self-esteem

a lifetime of chasing the latest
purely deserving admiration
worries over what others say

self-imposed no mercy mission
endless ennui with le dernier cri
don’t you see it matters not to me

That Girl | Bonnie Burka Shannon - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

That Girl | Bonnie Burka Shannon

You know the type
She wears her heart
On her sleeve
Feigning enjoyment
As she assumes
The interests
And activities
Of the man
Of the moment
She falls in love
Too fast
Too impulsively
Seeming astounded
When she is ghosted
Or betrayed
By the guys
Who ditch
Once again
She remains
The queen
Of diminished self-esteem
And foolish yearnings
Disappointment lingers
As her middle name
Depression her
Pervasive wardrobe
To relieve her discontent
She writes
A guest column
About her
Love life
For the LA Times
Astounding herself
By its reception
She gets
Multiple hits
On the web
She will
Never learn
However
Doomed to repeat
The errors of
Her ways
She remains
That girl
