Fireflys
Like two fireflys in the night
These two lovers spark in delight.
To be so near, so close, so dear
To hold each other till daylight.
In their mind, they fly so high
Touching ceiling on the sky
That they may love each other alone,
Until the peaceful night is gone.
Pulsing, whipping, their wings flap
They as one together wrapped
In solo flight above the world
As their world dies....
Enraptured, they embrace...
One last smile upon her face...

DSG and Og....NICE work, guys! Very well written indeed!
DSG: The second one you posted is my favorite. The third employs great use of symbolism. All of the poems you posted are very nice reads, and I appreciate you sharing!
Og: To me, the work you posted evokes a feeling of a dream...the kind of dream where you KNOW you're dreaming but you still question yourself because it's so real. Very nicely done!
Let's see some more, guys!

Thanks, dude. I've been working on this series since 2009. It's a tad bit refreshing to escape reality for a while, at least. Creating your own little world - it keeps me sane in this one! Looking for a literary agent/publisher. Again, I appreciate the encouragement. The way you interpreted my words was exactly what was happening. Motivates me to continue writing! - Og

Ode To A Flat Tire
O' flat tire, flat tire
Why are you so flat?
Your three breathren await to continue their steadfast journey
Yet you remain flacid so
Must I summon your brother, the spare,
neglected neigh these many years, psi unchecked?
Limited Use Only, though he may be
And shall your cousin Jack be arosed from his rusty grave this day?
Or shall I cry out to triple A?
It is my curse to be poet fair,
without mechanics skill or dare
And yet you still have three sides good
Perhaps to continue is what I should
Thou my destination's too far to see
ah what the hell, it works for me
O' flat tire, flat tire
Why are you so flat?
Your three breathren await to continue their steadfast journey
Yet you remain flacid so
Must I summon your brother, the spare,
neglected neigh these many years, psi unchecked?
Limited Use Only, though he may be
And shall your cousin Jack be arosed from his rusty grave this day?
Or shall I cry out to triple A?
It is my curse to be poet fair,
without mechanics skill or dare
And yet you still have three sides good
Perhaps to continue is what I should
Thou my destination's too far to see
ah what the hell, it works for me

Another cheery masterpiece from The Master himself! I think everyone has someone in mind while reading this one:
Ode to a Failure
==========
Years are spent
Gaining post-count
Licking the right boots
Watering the right roots
Gathering Groupies
Unwitting Acolytes
Blinded to the bigotry
Ignorant of the hypocrisy
Self-Righteous core
Narcissism rampant
Frothing fanaticism
Blatant favouritism
Beacon of Bigotry
Competence-free
Microscopic in scrutiny
Micromanager, certainly
Relying on Wiki
To appear less half-witted
The work of drones
Calling his own
Self-proclaimed Gearhead
Gearbox in truth
Imagined Composer
In truth but a Poser
Embarrassment? Aye
Liability looms
Fallen from grace
A total disgrace
Maskirovka in place
But protected, protected
Forgotton! the call,
But, not by all.

A couple more gems from The Master!
Exhaust Folly
=========
Suck, Bang, Blow
Combustion, you know
These urgent gases
Needs swift passage
Pundits, Noobs, Experts
Welders in thick skirts
THEY know what's best
And Screw all the rest
Alloy, Steel, Rust
No one can you trust
No one school of thought
With risk it is fraught
Pipes, Baffles, Bends
Lemmings and trends
I want it Loud!
Stand out from the crowd
Fart, Crackle, Pop
Oh, make it Stop!
The music you sought?
Cacophony you bought
Pissed, Mad, Distraught
All effort for naught
Around you is laughter
A Fartmaster Disaster!
Live, learn, Abide
Or, run and hide
Magnaflow Rules!
The rest are for Tools.
.................................................. ......
Those Crazy Brits
===========
Those Crazy Brits
Obese, lewd twits
Arrogant, rash
Opiniated, brash.
Consumers of ale
Chasers of tail
Beers by the flagon
Bellies a'saggin'.
Bangers and mash
Corned beef and hash
Fish & chips
Oh what sheep dip!
Overcooked roast
Yorkshire is toast
Culinary disasters
Just dying faster.
Doctors dismay
Cholesterol in play
Ticking time bombs
Walking on tombs
Royals are useless
To Commoners penniless
Haves and have nots
Mews and Ascot
Had once a Navy
Vast, underway
No longer a Dynasty
Now just a travesty
Rulers of earth?
Now just of Firth
Mired in the past
No Empire did last.
There persists for naught
Delusional thought
The everlasting folly
We remain just a Colony

The Scourge Among Us
The Scourge Among Us
===============
There has never been
A Generation so bereft
Self-absorbed, 'special'
No real respect
Coddled, shielded
From birth raised
Prince and Princess
Incessently praised
The parents at fault
For beggeting this ruse
These vessels are empty
Exceedingly Obtuse
The workforce they enter
Skillsets in tow
Clueless and wide-eyed
To them one must bow
Smartphones plastered
To oblivious skulls
Wandering aimleassly
About the halls
Tripping and falling
Colliding with others
No apologies given
Blame their mothers!
Sitting in meetings
Tweeting away
All focus lost
On business all day
Two weeks go by
They sit there aghast
They're NOT VP's yet?
Frustration, so vast!!!
Scourge, this be
A price ALL will pay
Millenials forsake
The Generation away

Found this today, in case anyone would like to improve themselves as a writer. A very interesting course, to say the least...
