Popular Fame Poems
Zenith
by Evelyn Judy Buehler

Far above skies,
Destined never to plummet,
Leaving earth's ties,
You've reached your summit.

As surely as I see you there,
You kept alive the flame;
Now in its sudden glare-
The whole world knows your name.

Marilyn
by Lee-Ann Azzopardi

I don't know If she did
I just know she's dead
Long time ago
There's a lot of conspiracies about it
Saying she knew a lot of state secrets
And was sleeping with the Kennedy brothers
It never revealed if she did
That's the CIA doing
Then the brother were assassinated
All of them still alive

The House of Fame
by Richard Randolph

I waited outside the House of Fame
as there was nothing else to do.
Then, when nearly all hope seemed lost,
an important woman noticed me there.
She took my hand and said I had promise
before disappearing into a well-lit hall.
Soon afterward, the large doors closed
and it was very dark, and I was cold.
But I could still hear the music playing
and see people dancing on a moonlit balcony.

Glamourous Life
by Lee-Ann Azzopardi

I hunger for a poetic power
Though, time is running out
I wanted to be well known
There's would've been biographies
My books would be discussed in colleges
Or be banned in the South
I would win several prizes
And recite my words all over the world
Protecting the bomb, destruction of the environment
And censorship

Waltz Among the Flowers
by Evelyn Judy Buehler

whirling rose petals
as they move to dream music
sunflower acclaim

dips in dahlias
orange yellow cream and red
spins past snapdragons

four o'clock fragrance
and flourishes near fuchsias

Bad Reputation
by Fidelis Peter Olowu

A bad reputation is raw eggs,
cracked, spilled,
splattered across a soul.
Its stench lingers,
thickens,
fouls the air as days unfold.

A bad reputation is a garment —
an appalling apparel,
clinging to the wayward.

In This Hall of Fame
by Christen Kuikoua

Oh name
a field of endless contest,
where men trade peace for position
and exhaust their breath to remain above.

Pressed by hunger,
ruled by desire,
they push beyond their portion
for applause,
for approval,

Exploiting Life
by Saleh Ben Saleh

Don't waste your time on play and fun,
if yourself you want to carry.
To wealth and fame you should make a run,
before you are to marry.

In younger days you have a chance to make your life succeed,
but if you wait there will come a day from work you shall retreat.

For precious time is gliding by in Winter, Spring and Fall,
in Summer time you should relax as time does bind us all.
