Deriving Poems | Examples

Premium Member No gods need apply

Tending to be creatures of whimsy, spirit and superstition
Deriving power from unsteady voices
Unsure of the implications of undefined “truths”
Pandering to the belief that “they” are the only “one”
Would we bow before an icon, an idol, a statue
Blindly serve a heaven-sent huckster

Or maybe…someday…become more than an echo
Become a voice, an action, a thought
That alters the arc of inanimate action
Challenging the reign of the Butterflies wings

Premium Member NIGHT MOON

Visualizing the Moon from Earth
Seeing the reflecting skies having entertainment of its own
The Moon craters are like being in a trap
Stuck with no way to get out
Distance beyond
Horizon showing preserver years away
Heart of appreciation
Wonders through the skies of sensation
One’s life, fate and realities
Capturing the moment
The how, when and beyond
Scientist often the universe doubt
But have they truly worked it out
The Universe strong in galaxy
Focus and vision aligning itself
Thinking like a Night star in twinkle
One wish at a time
Stars are the aspiration
My eyes attract
All in an instance
Days and nights deriving from past to present
Directing the target arrow of one’s inner thought
Research of some sought
Until tomorrow
Earth will always remember
The moment to sleep and slumber

Premium Member Keep Away

For some there always has to be an issue

A drama of some sort

Always looking for or creating a problem

To inject their voice and thoughts


Seeming to thrive on conflict

Inserting their need for power and control

Deriving pleasure from others discomfort

Relishing in other individuals anguish to feed their souls!


Premium Member Zen mode

as the membrane of space 
thins and thickens
we notice 
it so gently breathing
with all forms within its womb

acknowledging thus what is as is
we are here both this and that
or more accurately neither
since space too is but an entity
deriving its power from heart of God

the mind endlessly questions
but spiritual heart knows
yet cannot transmit
the wisdom so garnered 
to those dwelling in body-mind

Expression

bloodshot deriving out of wide eyes conformed to the ceiling 
ruby red polish accompany the nail
spritz of fragrance leaving behind an illusion of professionalism 
receiving roses to give glad hand towards beauty 

why is my allurement the focal point of my pitiful existence? 

the roses molded
	the incense faded
		the varnish chipped away
				the lids have found one another once again
awaken once more only to find that expression

Premium Member Dick the Coward

I’ve written about “Dick The Bully”
“Dick The Ignorant” also
This poem is about “Dick The Coward”
Who is one of the lowest of low

“Dick The Coward” you are gutless
You follow and persecute in a pack
You ride on the coat tails of other bullies
Then cowardly and viciously attack

Afraid to voice your vile comments
Unless the other Dicks are there
You are spineless and despicable
Finding delight in others pain and despair 

Forthright without a face, from behind a screen
Being supported by the other Dicks
Belittling and damaging good people
Deriving pleasure from the cruelty you inflict 

Dick ,are you so inadequate 
That it fulfils you spewing heartless remarks
“Can you please stop doing handstands Dick”
“And  talking out of your ar**e!!”


Live, the Best You Give

Do you want peace of mind?
Rescue from God who is kind?
Due reward, do you want to find?
You pray deeply for mankind!

Agony may be very often arriving,
Thorny mood, you may be deriving,
Destiny may be very badly driving,
Many troubles may hinder surviving

Lose not your hope and confidence,
Choose to believe in the Providence,
Use prayer for with God an alliance,
Muse calmly with great intelligence

Face any task with deep calm,
Chase goals and hope you form,
Trace peace that falls in your palm,
Prays every soul as prayer is a balm

Outcome of toil is sure success,
Become great via your prowess,
Income is hope that you possess,
Welcome toil to become a genius

Broad mind must be always had,
Hard-work makes victory glad,
God is noble and is never bad,
Rod of God makes us never sad

Stay confidently and play your life-game,
Way is shown by God for name and fame,
Obey not defeats as they bring only shame,
Pay respects to God and chant His name!

Premium Member Rise Over Run

There once was a mathematician named Swope
Who said,” In calculus, while I’m deriving, I hope
To find an function so perfect
No tangent could touch it
Lest I fall on a slippery slope"

Premium Member Coffee and Toddlers and Tennis

Tennis on the television.
Heinous sneezes from my toddler.
Lettuce bits sprayed across our laps.
Menace to society's Joe the Waddler,

Arriving at the war zone toy room,
Deriving future campaigns in his mind.
Writhing within the haze of colored plastic he's
Diving into Roman ruins, covered in shiny blocks, laying supine.

In walks the 5-year-old
And our most decorated of soldiers.
Endowed with the wisdom to sleep in, she's now
Entwined with Daddy, smelling of warm bed and Folgers.

Inside a heart bleeds
lifted by fire tornado turns

Premium Member Diving In

where the heart leads
adventures follow
daring hearts
geared up to go
enthusiasm soaring
anticipating the challenge
forging ahead with confidence
thriving on the lust for conquest
lay groundwork for elation
swooping in wholeheartedly

eager to launch each escapade
lunge and pounce with conviction
high on the taste of freedom
riding the waves of time
deriving satisfaction
biting into life
measure man against himself
alone in the universe
master of his destiny
owning his achievements
implode with passion

Rendition of Trail Rhyming

By Parizo Van Thulare 

It keeps me writing 
I'm not scared of rhyming
On that blank page is where I'm deriving 
In Between love and life is where I'm sailing 
I catch joy when this pen starts dancing
I feel the warmth of life when this paper is beeping 
I climb mountains when my fingers are shivering 
I smell the healing breeze when My feelings are echoing 
That is then that i know the train of words is coming 
That sooner this palace will be raining
Those that  are sad will start smiling 
Those who are broken will reclaim what was taken and stop weeping 
They will find what is missing 
Forever they will keep on  thriving

A Half Crown Is a Semi Dormant Loaf

Left over overspills are a typewritten error and a grammatical code of which there is no collision of nouns, verbs or adjectives. Descent described design deriving dug dirt. And a soil no shine. A voided coloured counting ball is many balls on cruises to oil lakes. Found in farm grounds. Sluice then slice slice slice. But thrice times an angle in a wailing tree is nit a crystallized orb nor is it a hyperlink or a cycle of cubic measurement. Mature mo frozen italic of thought to a paper in the mind. And gathering although hazardous is another feat to match the toes of soul. Anatomical wisdom rattle. Shake shake shake. And a smiley snake grimaces at very tight reeds to pass to get the kill. Good. Greedy goblins grabbing gestational genital garments giving going gravitationally. And in addition to this a wide mouthed toad sits on that cake over there. Good. Fake that freezer pop. Z augments Z pathologically Z

Knitting Needle Versus Irons

A vibrancy on a washing line is often likened to a knitting needle in a hailstorm. Fold away the parachutes of umbrella and kneel down on a thistle. It is rather comfortable when it is in flower. Dashing darting deriving daffodil draperies. And a large hairy dog playing with a hula hoop. Whirling. Good. Woof woof then. Over nineteen thousand feet the parasol leans into the wind. Ornately dressed in flowery patterns and sheets of ancient chiffon. Curvaceous corrosive callings of a breeze. And a wide angled bucket in a yard pondering the sky. Question not the arrival. Question only the departure. And such is the word of the thesaurus on a train. Hahahaha now go and eat the high tea. Hahahaha flimsy wheeled and heeled skirts and blouses. Crusty blooms. Goods granting gables. And a wand from a stone. Fabled frog frivolities. Haha xx xx number of peas over there chanting pod pod pod. Lovely
 enchanting. Xxxxx gastronomically z
