Best Persona Poems

I am nothing

pariah     outcast    a worm

I have nothing to offer, nothing of value

except these words

for when I see the sunlight reflect

in your chocolate brown eyes I envision 

paradise

eden   before the fall

and when you smile you 

radiate

The Tramp Persona
Who was this boy, a pauper born?
Existing in despair and continual forlorn
Scandalized, accused of communist sympathies
Encompassing both adulation, and social controversies
Charlie Chaplin how can I take you seriously?
Chucklesome slapstick injecting tragedy
Awkward, little mime tugging at the heartstrings
A cathodic empathy he brings
of all those...

Tho’ the soft voice has an aristocratic tone,
the haughty attitude ain’t no street gutter different:
Being rude ... dropping shade

Dark keystroke mood, 
shallow indigo indifference shown
Another bad online day made

Royal pain of a social media princess
giving good grief
With a sunny disposition staged

That same persona
is acting out...

Unity colors rainbow, apt in the world to glow
Apt Love of many to show, in a world expo...

Was once a display
The sudden eye ambition 
Trusty appendage 

The hind to the heel 
Broken in to much appeal 
A preferable feel 


Inspired by Raul Moreno’s “still life” contest!...

Extraordinaire, he raised the ice.
He told me this when I was a child.
He said he heard his neck pop.
He laughed and said, “That stopped my dare devil’s persona.
As you see, I am short.
I liked to participate in a dare devil’s sport when I was young”.
He...

A man of free will
A visionary soul
Gulps down the misery of discrimination
Climbs a great hill with compassion
Breathes over hurdles

Uses time wisely
Don’t wish but go get
Don’t only dream but pursue
Money won’t create success
Freedom will

It doesn't matter where one is from
A heart matters
Unite to create establishments
Because there...

If you shine a shoe you get a tip,
If you brush it well,
You get even a bigger tip,
If you denounce yourself,
And renounce your roots,
You get a reward...you get a nip,
Of the welfare and the system that keep,
Watching you and your progress in deep,
That you may...

  The Poetry of Persona 

   In the shadow of persona where individuals care
Your thoughts and expectations’ abundantly declare,
Riding on infinity perplexed on colours wait
Rendering your persona on life, inevitable debate!
Richness follows...

Beware!  in our own confines - a predator
hiding without so much as a warm hello,
Persona non grata veils its character.
It’s green with greed and  jealously pale yellow;
our words give vent to this parasite-fellow.
A proud remnant perhaps of a life once led,
it bleeds blue...

Who are you to judge 
what i have become
when your denying
who you really are 
Day after day 
you morph into 
something your not 
Loosing  sight  of  
who you one were
slowly becoming
a abomination.
You tell me 
God is Watching
So why don't
you make the change...

well darlin', all i can say
is we're fallin' behind
far behind
bills are due
and we're broke
broker than broke
we're below broke
we're diggin' a hole
and a big hole
bigger than a grave
a grave more than 100 feet deep
ewe need a way out
a ladder or some steps
we need to save
our money,...

Echo world behind the glass,
I make the same faces I did at twelve.
The grinning Cheshire Cat 
with teeth like piano keys,
mendacious and coy
because viewing my portrait with sobriety
forces me to march with familiar frailties.
I’m certain my gravitas is a forgery.
I am sure my laments and...

We are always in a pack,
looking out for each other's back.
In harmony nothing we lack;
we are each other's luck....
