Best Uncharacteristic Poems

Driving home one day after hours of monotonous office work,
Saw a man sitting by the road; looked as one down on his luck.
Paid small notice to the figure; my lonely life was in a rut.
He was just another beggar, holding out a shiny tin cup.

But...

Art rejoices through my special handy exhibition
but a parent’s call for a prestigious profession makes me freeze.
I’m simple with a mind so soft and a hand so helpful
siblings dive into the pool with liberty to put my charity to a tease.

My happiness, my pride, my...

Beauty for ashes
You heard that before
When do you ever see beauty?
In the magazine, right?
Or is it here in you?
You have the beauty within 
And you have beauty with out
Your outward appearance
Can't put less emphasis on that
And your inward appearance
The one you are to God
God sees...

Why are thee as cold as a winter’s day?
Thy resounding radiance of thy love
Hath fallen like snow in this month of May.
This is so uncharacteristic of
Thy character that hath always been hot
For me.  Thy soul seems tempered, tired and 
Bitter cold, causing thy warm...

If these thoughts are real
then they must be
uncharacteristic
of normal...

A balance of abnormal
that is both astringent
and self absorbing.

In abstinence they 
become relentless
in their pursuit 
(until)
the remaining raw edges
of hope surrenders
to un-forgiveness.

Crying for tears,
an emollient for despair.


ps: not so sure just where this came from of if...

Fi,fy,foe,fum. I smell the blood. Sweet nectar of fools. Stamp them down. Stamp it all out. Back and forth like the swing of a fairground hammer.

Adjust the ride. Inject the senses. Bathed in a misty surround of vibrant blue striped with lashings of orange.

Moving to...

now we come to the taboo part of our presentation
in which the secret of all time will be revealed
to those who wish to understand understanding
characters arranged in uncharacteristic sequence
a nice little codification on toasted bagel
hitched to the static measurement wagon
so many pretty numbers so subdivisable
into...

*** ENDURING ***

(A Part Two about my recent illness, following “Lunacy Loo Flies.”

Fear
Stepped into the holes of my weakness
To impede my pace to recovery, 
Absorbing the basic radiant light —

My going forth walk had previously always carried
Since early childhood when chronic illness first struck, but
Good...

I was sober when I was feeble.
I had flaws and knew it too.

A taste of higher ranks was enchanting to me.
The glamour, the pride was just so cool

In reality, I looked grounded
When a whiff of success touched me low.

I tried to be the same old...

Two years after the birth of my daughter a son was born to me. Three years had also gone 
since my daughter's warts had vanished when my son turned five years of age and warts 
began to spread all over his hands.  I tried...

Out with his boys drinking, feeling rowdy
Special occasion
Rolling the way they do
His lover is not with them
She stayed in for the night
He misses her company
But enjoys his time with the guys
He'll swing by later

A local city bar
Not anything special
Just talking trash like they talk
Cheap drinks
Fun

The...

My humble tribute to a great personality:

When India won freedom, he did not attend the celebration, rather he was on road helping all, trying to end communal violence. He said how can I celebrate when so many are in distress.

When one tiny atomised shrimp meets a third of a Christmas pudding it is known as a classic meeting of minds. But not if the meeting takes place in an office or a chamber. That is just quite uncharacteristic and unchartered for the chatting chin...

Confused
Written: by Tom Wright

Recently, I experienced Sudden Cardiac Arrest,
Doctors said any hope of my living looked grim.
But to the power of prayer I can readily attest,
And prayer warriors had placed all faith in Him.

On the first day of January I was clinically dead,
And seven times...
