Best Parallel Poems

(PoetrySoup Format)


Predictable, practical pose
as a simple sentence suggests,
accepting how the story goes,
while syllables shape silhouettes.

~ Simple scribbles serenade me ~

Paragraphs, hold poise and power
while illuminating passion,
and thoughts anticipate the hour,
forms flow in a feathered fashion.

~ Sonnets and sweet simplicity  ~

Playful, parallel poetry

Parallel

Evening arrived scattering snowflakes,
I sought a solitary
Path
Through winter’s barren woods
Made magical this night
With glittering snow
Gracing every empty branch
Each twig
In the muffled silence of a downy dusk
And, thinking that I walked
Enfolded in the snowy twilight,
Only with myself,
I overlooked the footprints
Slowly walking 
Side by side
With my own...

PARALLEL AUTUMN SURPRISES


A ferris wheel of no return, she stood with rosy cheeks so fair; both day and night just wide rocky bridges of light and dark. All she needed was bulb of fresh start.. Three months pass after the love explosion happened, her pillar...

In a parallel universe
Is there another me? 
Somewhere in a parallel universe
Quite near, yet very far
In a magical world
Where I have long white wings
I wave them upon mighty Oceans
Against the ferocious storms
Rest them on crowded offshoots of dark jungles
And return back at night to the...

Enchanting
Is beauty of your love
Fragrant, colorful, blossoms of spring

Delighting
Robins on willow trees
To woo your summers in playful hints

Riveting
Your passions marigold
In musings gamboge of autumn's leaves

Fulfilling
Desires of snow white dreams
Kissing you as snowflakes are falling

What flickers of kindred spirit shone through,
To illuminate the caves of my mind?
What common tortures was I sure I’d find?
Which were the words that echoed such a clue,
That my dark demons were the same you knew?
Does fate hold purpose for these ties that bind?
I know...

discovery of discoveries 
brittle chrysalis
upside down, branching
breathing, pulsing
I pause and
inspect the
pupa’s fortress
tight and hard as 
childhood memories of
milkweed pods 
splaying, splitting, dropping
fragments into the
pungent soil beneath

My birth sac
splits apart
Baptismal waters
run down my legs

Two soul bound shackled hearts 
Whispered echos so devoted 
What we share remains forever 
Every love poem that is quoted 

Not even in death shall we part 
Living infinity in the multiverse 
Together we remain parallel 
Loving energy to never disperse 

Legendary of all romances...

Imagine if there was a parallel universe
Somewhere out there in space
Other humans exactly like us
Living in the same time and place

This might spook a whole lot of people
Not me, I think it'd be great
To meet my alter ego in person
To ask questions of my parallel...

My first love - when we ended,
They told me to pray to God,
And that he would make time,
My new best friend.
And with the love I had for you,
The despair I would fall out of.
My second love - when we ended,
They did not tell me anything,
For...

From afar I watch the sun 
That's setting in your eyes..
Shades of green melt into tangerine..
But I'm just a different hue 
From violet to pink and blue
We may never be intertwined..
For we are parallel dimensions 
Of the mind
But if I may say 
The vibrance in...

What if there actually was a parallel universe

And we were given the option when we pass on

To cross over and start all over again

We could keep on flipping back and forth

Forever and ever and ever, for eternity

Uhhh... the jury's out on this one

Would we really...

Lying in my bed one night ,
I hear the quiet,
It does not feel at all right,
Something is about to take place,
In this disunited human race,
And then, the world that I knew,
Its comforts, my family, my dog,
My little pet frog,
My bicycle that took me
To school, No...

I will begin my story with this concise summary,
Of the amazing things that have happened to me;

After I had lost a home, where I'd lived my life long,
So they could build a highway, for the busy throng!

The city had emminent domain, and so it was...
