#wordage poems on Hello Poetry

Poetic T Dec 2018

If I could repeat a
                 moment,
it would be the victory sign
                              I gave you.

The sign of ******* used in
                           singular usage.
those of an educated and memorable
                                      use of wordage.

One meaning I'm free of the shackles,
                   and that I'm no longer
beneath you.

Instead it meant in an aspect of freedom,
         but then I got real turning it
                                                     on its head.

And to others that saw it meant what it said,

                          *******....

I'm no longer yours, I'm free of you...
                     and my life is mine  from this day...

Mine to live,
no longer shacked
                      by others
                      weak bonds that I'm  free of.

Rivers of Babylon

of times long
ago
Persian poets did write
along the Euphrates River
flow
where a shimmering sun
put atop its waters
a glimmering
glow

since these ancient
days
many a poet has scribe verse
beside other river
lays
Shakespeare thinking of an Avon love
who caught his thoughts
in such deeply abiding
ways

Boney M's lyrical
composition
by the Rivers of Babylon
is a modern
adaptation
of the writers eternal feel
for a river streaming
wordage of
inspiration
