Best Clever Poems

The joy of birth, the growing up,
leads us to adore our lovely babies.
But not, alas, without the toils of life.
Because we experience a lack of sleep,
contend with baby vomit,
or idiotically putting on his boxer shorts
completely the wrong way around.
 
Yet all is part of being...

In shadows deep where truth does weep, There lies a figure, veiled, asleep. A hypocrite, with words so sweet, Yet actions cold, deceit complete.

With lips that part in righteous guise, They weave a web of clever lies. Their tongue a blade, sharp and keen, But...

A foxy dame passed through a diner
with auburn locks bouncing here and there.
    Dude sighed, “ take the best wine
    but tonight you’re all mine;
chimed she,” hike off; I’m this bar’s owner.”

If I were a clever man,
who knew the ways of all,
it might help me along the way,
and save me from a fall.

If really clever, I would be
perfect in every way,
I wouldn’t have to take advice,
from others every day.

I‘d be the very, very best.
my knowledge would...

The gypsy lady told me:
Lay your money down right here.
My crystal ball reveals all
and it never lies.

A smart doctor you will find
who doesn’t need M R I’s
to guide all his decisions.
One like Dr. House!

Health care and your living costs
will become affordable.
Then with a smile, she...

Life is a learning process
         Each day a useful test
    But some people, you’ll agree
     They are born with a degree

It’s another day, yes, another day
Another day to watch my cronies wandering around
meandering around aimlessly, flippantly like
they have no care…no care in the world
and just like that…bludgeoned by a badly worn cowboy boot!
Guts all over!

One time I dated one of those giddy ones
and I tried...

“I Can Hear You Sin.”

I can smell our lust in the dark air above our bed,
You lay beside me, in your perfect ruthless beauty,
If only you knew what I really am, I hope you never see inside my clever dreams.

You don’t really know me, your...

Such a clever thing

The spider crawls
Along the line
To spin a web
It’s silk 
Woven like magic
Spreading wide
High up in the air
The glass like yarn
Stretching out
To the fence
Just how 
Can a small thing
Take its formation
From hedge
To window to flower
Balancing on silk
So strong
The morning sun
Shining upon the thread...

Reducing sauces is a clever act that is not predetermined

Swimming in tepid waters often relieves tensions but a moose with a migraine prefers an ice cold bath. Bathing rituals signify statuses and this is referred to 'Tatankinatta' in the elusive world. Exclusively it is the...

Not because he was a cheating swine.
His lack of height, set a low punchline....

He has created a clever robot
He orders it and it responds

“Write for me a poem”, it does
“Compose for me love letter”, it does
“Scribble for me an abuse”, it does

Clever and obedient the robot is
But one thing it cannot do
Feel emotions as human beings

The clever robot...

She's had enough of my clever lines
Thinking back on all those times
When my dreams were just a story 
She... wonders if anything's real 
Does he just write or can he feel
And care for anything more than glory

Oh.. Time and time again
You bought in to what...

The consumate sleuth Sherlock Holmes
Hardly lacking the wit chromosomes
With the faintest of clues
To bemuse and confuse
Cracked crimes in the Welsh catacombs
