When I'm down Feels like, Like any moment I could die. When I'm up Feels like I am Going to live Eternal. I have to, Have to keep reality In mind. I have to, right? But then, I have to ask, What is so special? What has reality Ever done For me? #poetry #poem

Existence is On our heels With understanding, Knitted in bronze, Beyond our sight. #poem #poetry

Great news for people who have always wanted to be victimized in an especially oafish bit of GoFundMe fraud but never got the chance because they didn't live in the tri-state area. Help is on the way!

Oh, how these shortening days, confetti of leaves, and gentle, chill caress of breeze replenish my energy and never fail to bring me home to myself. #vss365 #poetryprompt #energy #dailyhaikuprompt #blueskypoetry #poetrycommunity #micropoem #autumndays www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aQd...

For no reason, no reason at all, I’m sharing Zoe Leonard’s poem “I want a dyke for president. I want a person with aids for president & I want a fag for vice president and I want someone with no health insurance & I want someone who grew up in a place where the earth is so saturated with toxic waste

People can be so Shallow, They'll treat you By how You look to them, And then you'll Start acting By how They treat you For fear Of being Alone. It sucks, Being alone. #poetry #poem

Somewhere Out there On the opposite shore, Odd socks, Rusty padlocks, A squeaky old door, Loose change, Paper aeroplanes, Dancers on the floor, Somewhere Out there They're ready For more. And then there's The laces On your shoes, Somewhere Not there This heart And its velcro sinews. #poem #poetry

Pent through aggression, Under blown ambition, This tackle was given Without instruction On how to live then. This world can hit All at the same And all at none. Pennies stacked On one eye, The done thing to do Would then be To open the other. #poem #poetry

What's it, What's it we do? Up, down, left or right, We crunch the vibe Spite the void And grump over the view. Nut, bolt, drain, block, Save it for good luck, Open it, open it wide, Too dumb for discourse, Too strange For suicide. #poetry #poem

Feeling so sweet, Open and free, Belts of time Fastened on joy alive. But The blade, Necks exposed. The child, Liberty, Flies Beyond. From a world below, A daemon's second go. Pity lost Beneath the frost, A perverted soul That conquers home, Kills its own, Sits on a lonely throne. #poem #poetry

The Mount, To us a slide. Up we'd scramble On all fours, Down On our backsides. But, also, It was your grave. You, oh mighty Saxon duke, Eyes stained by battle, Heart encased in mud. We rode our bikes Over it and beyond. Your ancient sigh, Our, "Wee!" #poetry #poem

Your light Made heat For my soil. These fruits, Your mind To be born. These breaths All breathless In you. But this earth twirls, Too fast, too fast For your warmth To remain. And although written It's September, In wind, in rain, My heart is stuck on summer For you, For you. #poetry #poem

All of existence A parched tongue That begs for more. Fifty percent Of us beast Tunnels through The earth, Order, Obey. The second, Glory in dirt, Holds, Hopes, Dear to the strike Of its eye Against gold. #poetry #poem

Laws not defended By the citizenry Cannot work, Citizens not defended By their laws Refuse to. #poetry #poem

This sea exists only As atomic agents When dissected from the Position of nowhere. But these eyes They demand dream, The pattern of waves, Blocs against our shore And with one will they intend To whip us off our feet. #poetry #poem

An organism Isn't capable Of mastering Its game and Seeing it For what It is. #poem #poetry

Architectonic symmetry, First out the airlock century. Dressed In market red, Pearls scattered On your chest, Many made for one And scraps for the rest. Max insecurity penitentiary, Time teetering on the fence, Proud inmate of the frail blue ovary Checks his wrist, Nothing yet. #poem #poetry

Ask not the way A crooked tree grows, Ask the way The wind blows. #poem #poetry

Christ you can do anything But hold water in your hands, And the rain soaked through Till it couldn't be ignored. God is not dead, He transitioned to it, Its Universe still spins, Its star still burns. Citizen consumer, It's inside of you. Human defiler, It won't ever let you go. #poem #poetry

Sitting at a desk, Voice surrendered To the word. A quick break By the window, Parents watch Children at play In the park, A butterfly escapes the green. With no warning an explosion Vaporizes this world. A bloodied hijab flutters Through the deformed face Of a structure imposed. #poem #poetry

A race to the atom, The self a flooded land, Rushing from this chasm Love as flounders to sand. But water stays Like virulent gaze, Concrete till more Voluptuous it saw. And where will you be seen When the gulf denudes, And the action you've been Is collected by changing attitudes? #poetry #poem

Tossed seeds Fall stricken Crumb for confusion On future isolation. Queries devoured Under The hyper-fiction reality, Pills completed, The course set For anywhere. Got my thumb out, It's ready, But nobody else Got this ride on repeat. #poetry #poem

A castrated man skips off the last vestiges of his people through a tale. The tale is a warning to them who took his nads and his culture and it's a warning to their forebears, me and, possibly, you. #writingcommunity #writer #author

Plastic spherical Orange float Filled with air Stuck in the chop Of the tide, If only you could Change your nature And sink like a rock, You would be forgiven All of this turmoil. #poetry #poem #poetsofbluesky

Truth, invisible asteroid, The wisdom devoted Categorise the void To witness The wandering Diamond. But to others It's a meteorite That struck their mind And disintegrated. Unfazed by the risk Of forging word to arsenic They try to make a semblance Of the crater In their soul. #poetry #poem

Seminal embrace, School sweater of grace, In sensory haste I chase the same taste. But I could not find The click In this sweater Of mine. Only now, Decades late, Can I process how Fabric cannot produce, It was always The person inside. #poetry #poem

Blossom white Noise Dance on asphalt. Wind, the performance Perfection, Show Your face. Here is my heart And its jar, Its brine could be your Favourite soup. Notify me With your tiny numbers, No sequence repeated, A one that's fit for all. #poetry #poem #writingcommunity

A bubble forms, The vast ocean Pressing on it From every side. Of the rocks It collects Fall to dream In their bed. Of monsters Cutting dread Only threat Others scared. It will find its voice, It had no choice, Because it is the air, It is propelled there. #poetry #poem #writingcommunity

Mistress Mary, bight contrary, How does your garden grow? With gutted hospitals, and guided shells, And party-sized body bags all in a row. #poetry #poem #writingcommunity

Storm The Gates.. #poetry #poem #writing #writingcommunity #resist

A sky full of falling petals and a ground full of sand #poetry

It's about time we get eternity moving. I, like the Universe, Begin before I've Even ended. Stuck in The same Old stuff. You, like life, Bounce by breath. Hands will go up, Answers can't stay down. We bear impermanence, We let the latch from this loop. #poetry #poem #writingcommunity

This life branches, Leaves and seed, This mind the roots. Action cultivates The Fire and air, Spirit forges blood From water, Dreams from the Earth. On a trunk sits me, Tough to the touch, Naked its guts. The bridge That battles A chasm. #poetry #poem #writingcommunity

Poetry Far from being Made with language Is its vaccine. Where words divide, As they do dull Reality, It wades into the fray And lights even as lie. With bronze plate And gold helm It shows the Everything Inside everything. #poetry #poem #writingcommunity

Cell wall Elam. Seabirds hop Light on light, Might they meet the World on way. Life can't care All butter finds bread. Spite the Alkaline siege, Saunter through flame, Toss it when you are done, 's gon' be pristine, Nobody else knows, 'll see it the Exact way. #poetry #poem #writingcommunity

The finely curated side Of our mighty media eye Works so very hard to tarry About the lack of decorum In the varnish interregnum. Terror inflicted On this planet's poor, Dead children, Elicits nothing But a careless fart In their laundered briefs. #signalgate #poetry #poem #writingcommunity

At the corner Belief is straightened, Radicals converge Emboldened by cessation. You pick your grapes, Smash them extra fine, Pour them now their cups Of wasted human potential. Truth a raven's flight, Beauty its direction. Left for good The corpse of perfection. #poem #poetry #writingcommunity

North island flowers, Irresistible petals, Amazon rigid tongues. South island fruits, Communicable seeds, Lust the bellyful. A stride too shallow To step on both dunes. Engulfed by the sea We're prey to Neptune's Forceful pregnancy. #poem #writingcommunity #poetry

Economics in the weeds, Science lost to trees, Culture on mescaline. Paper bleed my tongue, Rock blunt my soul, Scissors absurd my will. Can't tell you which move Vae victis spurts out from, All I can figure, for sure, Is that if I kill myself It wins. #poetry #writingcommunity #poem

I can pay rent For where I live And what I eat. Can pay a toll On where I move, On my vexed libido. But I won't pay a fee For this heart inside of me, It will witness its liberation In every person of every nation. #poetry #writingcommunity #poem #poem

Three man line, Side by side, Against a ditch. I'm third, The first Off he goes To the hole. Straight ahead, Blinks forward, Close second. Glance down, He's in the soil Like a hose. Not worth thinking, About to grow Above my grave. Butterfly wings, I think of home. #poetry #poem #writingcommunity

It is an objective truth The data serves proof, You are all free, As you can see, To arrive At the same Conclusion As us. Truth is not An RPG For us. Objectivity is not An aspiration we Set to chase Away what repulses us, Away what refuses to bend a knee. #poetry #poem #writingcommunity #poet

A golden rule To show and not tell, Make me believe This phantasm's real. Mate goes out Snatches the world From three little girls, Showing the horror in his soul. Acts Can't Take Back. Fuck the show, Learn to tell. And you, Ignorance takes two, Faucet And plug. #writingcommunity #poetry #poem
