Write a Spontaneous Poem - Page 26

Oh Dana, that so resonates!
It does tie in with something I was thinking of last week.

My attempt to capture the feeling. Influenced by losing Dylan:

The world is full and fertile.
Trees swell and burst into green fireworks of froth.
Shower and heat and heat and growth,
I can see the threshing world recreate.

And I mostly issue sweat.
Tears run from me polluting the rain.
I salt the earth for miles around,
Making barren all that touches me.

Nature has left me behind
Creating its own reward to those who will.
I will suffer through this burgeoning,
And love/ dread many more.

great reads Dana C and SG!

There is something familiar here, sipping
bourbon while almost alone in front
of a television gone unwatched, but listened
too for a reminder that I am still connected
somehow, but not completely.
A mental astronaut, outside the everyday, but still
recognized and thought about by people outside vision.
Where to go from here I do not know, but somehow
I am still drawn to imaginary fires and signals sent
from somewher in the past where I left
my youth and belief in something better.

im tired but i keep floating on cloud nine
hoping that tomorrow i straighten up like a line

live it up bein with the people i care for
ride the waves as life keeps showing me more and more

do it to it
keep it real
tryin to show the world how i truly feel

about school, work, friends and fam
puttin it all together, making it all cram

stayin true to who i am
puttin the world on my shoulders
my path i am the only holder

do it to it
to dream is to fly
gotta remember
in my end there is only i

and what i did and what i have left to do
be sure to stay true to me, and to you

Twirling, flying, floating high
Fire soaring towards the sky
Crackling, sizzling sparking logs
Dance around the fire bright
many hours into the night.

Nice imagery all three of you!

my betrothed
half disrobed
hood of my car

down the road

engines wide open
tingle my scrotum
subwoofers thump

roadkill hump

body tossed
into the dump
drowned in diesel
pound my weasel

raging necrophiliac-sturbation staging mental patient

Flint · 06-24-2008, 04:03 PM

What, nobody else ever writes Rob Zombie lyrics?

I should have said "flaming necrophiliasturbation-staging mental patient" ...

Fred, Fred Grimes
gloating Nyad
May keep her yet,
Still feed her slow.

Said, Said Shine
It saw lump or two
All I can duel I've won
Hung many show
Hung many who show

Sundae · 06-25-2008, 07:28 PM

Another birthday stumbles round.
Another year I didn't get rich,
Didn't fall in love.
Didn't change the world.

And the world is still turning,
And I've turned my life around.
Did the things I most feared.
Did change things for the better.

work to the sleep to the work to the sleep
food to the sheep to the sheep to the sheep
drink to the sleep to the sheep to the sleep
dance to the pants to the pants to the dance

Flint · 06-27-2008, 10:03 PM

when I'm yakkin'
and come off as attackin'
don't let your delicate sensibilities
be an intermediary between you and me

I'm sporting an outrageous sleep deficit
prerequisite for a raging lack of ettiquette
playing Devil's Advocate for the sake of staying awake at my desk

DanaC · 06-28-2008, 05:54 AM

They were great! I especially liked yours, Sundae.

Ibby · 07-02-2008, 12:40 AM

i have decided
(and now declared)
at the urging of clod
to start, for a while
(at least while i am over here,
for i am in the states, you see)
to try my very hardest to post
entirely in some sort of verse
free as it may be
i will try and see
(if i still give a fuck)
if i can make my point
in the form of a poem
(wish me luck!)
