Short poems.
    #5414289 - 03/17/06 07:02 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

please post original SHORT poems. No "Howls" allowed, lets keep it under 12 lines.

Here's one I wrote:

Capitalist Whore

I met a man in a nice suit
He kept looking at his watch (I think it was Swiss) as he drove 85 on the highway
And turned his car into a flaming metallic coffin
And no one cried at his funeral

-12/26/04

"But for the sake of some little mouthful of flesh we deprive a soul of the sun and light, and of that proportion of life and time it had been born into the world to enjoy."

I posted this a couple weeks ago:  http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/5350043/an/0/page/2

Here's one I wrote sitting in a desk (you know the ones where the chair is attached to the desktop :smile:) when I was still in high school, no title
-------------------
Papers, pens and pencils
scatterd on my desk
Like one-thousand kids before me
this seat I do detest
But the desk cannot but sit here
and I but sit on it
And one-thousand more will sit here waiting
for the end of it
-------------------

:thumbup: Your poem is pretty cool!

:mushroom2: :peace:

We waste our time with these blindfolds.
Folded up neat, keeps us tucked inside...
protection from life and the brightest light;
We never take the time to breathe.

We play the role of 'Forgetful':
a human who was not prepared for life.
Twenty go by, as I blink my eyes.
I never took the time to breathe...

it's time to break the leash.

I wish I could rely upon my eyes.
See a certain sight and sacrifice.
I'm willing to secede that we may write
but not ahead of time without a right.

I see that we agree, and every time...
I try to let it be, I leave my guns.
Set it out of key, and with my release...
I let it out alive, I let it run.

God's in his heaven
I'm in my hell
The world is lovely
Everone's swell

The bees go by
The fish swim past
The lucid surface
Of the looking glass

The other side
The other mind
Is part of me
One of a kind

I'm in my heaven
God's in his hell
The lovely is world
Before it fell

A swirly eyed man lay rest to the abandoned.
So powerful, others could not fathom.
His lofty breath dense with terror.
All based on human error.

Brashing seas cause panic to the masses.
While a gusty breeze pays havoc to the grasses.
A land once quiet and calm, now cryptic.
If one blinks their eyes, they may miss it.

A punishing strike to our mother.
Leaving all forms of life to depend on their brother.
A conspicuous glare through an opaque sky,
Sitting, waiting.
Knowing I will die.

:tongue:

1st draft of some poems I wrote during class today. I should of been paying attention, but meh. Also, these are a bit longer than 12 lines, but no howls either :smile:

#1 - Filter of Sanity
----------------------
What!
---- I cut you
the ideas
racing ideas
the mental check
the switch to sanity
mental check to
my own sanity
filters are failing
filters between sanity
------- between insanity
the filter that controls
the switch to my sanity
the urge to throw
urge to throw the bottle
urge to smash and scream and
cry and and and and
The filter works. This time.


#2 - Growth (note: I fear this poem may be falling into some cliche teenage-angst type bullshit of which I am trying to avoid... but here it is anyways)
------------------------
I hate you hate the world
hate life hate ideas hate hate
hate myself the most
rip me open, pour me
out - insides black
hate, hate painted the
path to my own inner destruction
hate, hate painted the
path to my own inner exploration
the exploration of my self
destruction, hate fueling the vehicle
the vehicle to my own demise
despise the path to exploration
the hate planted the seeds
planted seeds in the destination
destination of inner exploration
the seeds of hate grew
the ugly trees climbed and rose
climbed the trees of my self destruction
i rose to the top of hate
and found light.


.. The above poem is a bit of a relization of a self-destructive path I was going down for a while, and even though it may not of been the best path, or the funnest - I learned alot about myself in it, and came out for the better because of it.

and now, for a poem that doesnt sound like a drug-addicts confession :P

Missing Winter
--------------
My guard set, and my vulnerabilities rose. Laying in bed next to you, feeling alone. The sorrows of years past came to surface. Letting something out: to let something in. The taste of spring on a winters breeze, the scent of coffee sweeping into the rolled down car window. Sitting in the coffee shop ? the wide-eyed grandson sitting across from a proud grandfather. One dunked their donut into hot chocolate, the other into black, no, sweetened? No .. Coffee. Into their coffee. The car ride home, the long way around, the coffee shop, what was its name? With the white stucco and the details that don?t matter? it faded into the distance. My hand would catch at the air with the window rolled down. The same hand that would catch the Frisbee, it was made from a lid, from a coffee jar or margarine container. I?d catch it, before it glided over the couch. The smell of tobacco puffed from a pipe, the smell of Nivea on fresh shaven skin. The clock ticks in the background, the clock ticks. Laying in bed, strining popcorn on Christmas decorations, the phone rings, the news .. the heart sinks ? the memory fades. I tell you this, you crack a joke. I let something out, to let something in ? I wasn?t expecting hurt.

And then, I suppose you could argue 'is this a poem or not'. But, whatever.

Unknown
---------
I feel like crawling into a cave and dying.
Remains only to be found when a new suburban condo is to be built,
and the hopeful investors will wonder - who was this man?
Then unknown, I will be remembered.


*note: I am not a big fan on 'traditional' poem format alot of the time, nor am I a big fan of rhyming. If it happens naturally - so be it, but not going to force a rhyme into a poem just to make it rhyme :P

Well, trying to re-work the poem to be a little less 'MySpace emo-teenage angst' (I hate stuff like that, and it was really bugging me in the one poem)

a minor re-write/edit, but still a work in progress. But, I think getting rid of all the 'hate' stuff, and finding other words to use in place of hate as helped.
---
painted the path to my own
inner destruction

the exploration of my self
destruction, abhorrence fueling the vehicle
the vehicle to my own demise
despise the path to exploration
the revulsion planted the seeds
planted seeds in the destination
destination of inner exploration
the seeds of revulsion grew
the ugly trees climbed and rose
climbed the trees of my self destruction
i rose to the top of my own destruction

Here are a few of mine. The first one is about mushrooms. I posted a few more here.

We is Key

In this bag I keep a key.
This key unlocks a part of me
that, if you're lucky, I'll let you see.

This part is like the dark of space,
but filled with light - a wondrous place -
to see the look upon your face!

Within this portal you will find
whatever notions come to mind,
what beautiful things I hide inside.

It might seem small, but it only seems -
dimensions here encompass dreams,
from dragons eyes to crystal streams.

If you want to see my secret
I'll take my key and open it,
but once you've seen you can't forget.

My only rule is that you must
fall into me, commit your trust
and keep this secret between us.



Let the truth be told
that futures cannot hold.
You contemplate, but I?ll show you how
the future is just tomorrow?s now.
The past is just the present, gone.
The future is just the present, done.
So if you find you?re looking past
the present, you move on too fast.
The future always moves away ?
The present ? it is here to stay.

I forget where I did this

Over twelve lines but oh well

The God, The Daughter, The Holy Motorcycle

The man strode across the limbo fields
Stopping to admire his lovely work.
Dark rays the dying sun did yield
Across the conceptual laughing Earth.
He birthed his creation on his mind the brim
(Or perhaps his creation birthed him)

One day, per chance, on his descendant path
He came across a girl, naked and free.
Her body was innocent, like a child?s laugh.
Like a midnight fall, her hair fell in streams.
Her eyes glittered mad, blue sinful crimes
(Or perhaps she was simply a mortal divine)

?Good time, my child,? he greeted in pomp
His power dripping likes a bursting dam.
?I see you?ve decided to lovely a romp?
Milk the grandeur, this place is grand!?
She stared at him a while, her sapphires ablaze
Their perfect complexion was not to be amazed.

?Sir, not to be rude, but know this well
I know not this place, nor you nor me
I?ve collapsed heaven and burned down hell
My desired self is one to be free.?
Her fingers to lips, the birth of man.
A lovely dead whistle burned through the land.

Apocalyptic dust settled ahead
Missing toward them, destination cruel.
Time was rejected; the two soon would be dead.
It stopped with a halt, and from the earthen mist came a jewel.
A beastly machine, of power and wheels.
A controlled Horseman, sans emotion to feel.

She jumped on the thing, a dainty tap of her feet.
It growled a message, egged by her hand.
?Sir, I feel that I must go and beseech
My fate, should I control it bland.?
She roared away, the dragoness flying
Across lushing plants of a world dying

The man stared across, awe mist in his eyes.
The man stared across, the moon greeting him with white kisses.
The man stared across, belief ready to die.
The man stared across, his perfect shot full of misses.
For what we may think is ours and proud
Can be one other?s, rejecting us loud.

Inside mediocrity
a spark waits to ignite.
Within my head lie grounded dreams
wanting to take flight.
And in my heart a crimson stream
pumped upwards to my brain.
My brain makes little use of it -
my heart - it pumps in vain.

Write My Wrongs

In this tree I sit,
contemplating broken glass,
shards of myself trying to find each other.
When they meet, will they know the other??
Will they sing that song that I hear so often??
My signature, my song, my heartbeat,
a sadness, a longing for tranquility.
I sit and wait for calm - the eye, in which,
I can write my wrongs.

Castigate

My energy pulls as this man walks by
My wonder ceases as he is as banal as i believe
He made his hunting grounds the top of deadly towers
And worshiped his god from the alter at his wrist
his family was fed to the brim
his compassion new no bounds
though his children were bound to his will
his wife was bound to his dick
the coffin clicked
his family cried
for his provide


--------------------
Men look at themselves and they see flawed humans, we look at women and we see perfect
GODDESSES
Women look at themselves and they seem utterly human, when looking at men they see proud
GODS.

The Lord, the Sun, and Whole Wheat Toast
___________________________________________

Upon his thrown, Jesus did sit
It seems he never bothered to give a shit
The third world always in desperate need
Gangs, and guns, and bombs make our planet bleed
But oh, our dear lord, he did just SPIT
The spot all this horror, death, and sadness did hit
He had already planted religions seed
But on these bibles, children can not feed
They dare not plead
Sending missionaries to foreign lands
To tell these people of God's plan
They give into these religious lies, without having to think
They'll believe anything as long as you give them water to drink
And the lord did rejoice at this exploitation
For he knew, it meant more donations
Take the non-believers into incarceration

Psyku

Kill the women and
Spare the children so that they
May see mother's blood

Kill the men and spare
The women so that they see
Pleasure well destroyed

Kill the children and
Spare the men so they see the
Futility of loins

Kill them all, leave none
Undead so that all may see
Their mortality

Murder's at the door -
so sorry I can't let you in
feel the cold seep through the seams
you won't bury me,
I won't slip beneath.
The fatal knock grows loud -
it echoes through my empty space
resist it - seal the door
if I fail, intentions stain the floor
I once was just a boy who wondered things,
chased my dreams, kept searching.
now my dreams like clouds high over me,
hold the key...
still knocking.

I forget when I did this

Much less why

A storm of red
A flash of silk
Swift feet bring death on highest heels
An angry love she can no longer feel

I do not know Mora,
My Dear Sweet Lenora

Claws of the Lioness
A striking of nail
Passionate hate fueling her lustful drives
Of sexual fear, her good hand hives

She meant nothing to me, that Cora
My Dear Sweet Lenora

A pail stream on a riverbed smooth
A piercing shriek, like harpy?s song
Betrayal comes in the most beautiful forms
God has competition, from a lover scorned

Who is this Flora,
My Dear Sweet Lenora

Gentle breakings of spectacular muscles
A softly ephemeral eternal embrace
Tears congregate, smiles hide
Love is reborn, from hatred died

You are my one, my only
My Dear Sweet Lenora

A couple new pieces:

--

Opportunity, abashed with selfish silence,
dwindles in the air I've disturbed with my breath.
I celebrate a fickle friend's arrival.

This fluidity, this certain sense of compliance,
which kindles through the depths I've disturbed in my mind,
allows me opportunity to reflect.

--

I keep my hold,
but without a center on it.
I pray I'm whole,
but it all falls down again.

I stray, I'm bold,
but without a center conflict.
I take it on,
there's no where left to swim.

Sign in, then hold.
Offer your compliance.
You're red, I know.
But the line is growing thin.

I scream, "I know,
that I depend on failing promise..."
I pray, humbled.
Recognize, and start again.

Childish, but I like it

A flurry of feathers!
A flurry of night!
The Crow is in another fight!

A beak like a knife!
Like a killer’s friend!
The Crow is brave he likes to pretend!

He blocks the light!
He blocks the breeze!
Damn The Crow with the happy disease!

He flies over your head!
He flies under your soul!
The Crow always skims the moral toll!

He caws with glee!
He caws with me!
He caws when the pleasant times must flee!

Bless The Crow!
And his feathery shame!
The Crow has accepted your contended game!

He will bargain the stars!
He will plead with the moon!
He will ensure your suspected doom!

There he is now!
That avian whore!
The one who spies outside your door!

The one who taunts!
The one who saves!
The one who will guard your ephemeral grave!

Look at The Crow!
Look at him sing!
Of death and misery and other such things!

Will he tell of his life?
Will his lies be true?
It's up to The Crow, and not to you!

New material... un-named thus far:

--

Please disregard my offenses. I did not intend to rain.
My second hand revolves, but I cannot find my refrain.
Steps ahead of trying, I recall reliance ending.
But sending out the violence has retrieved me only pain.

I search for a second's silence, silent voices must remain;
in lieu of realization, it is "search" I must abstain.
I try to find my silence; try to reach past love and pain.
But try, it starts to tangle. It’s much too tight in it's restraint.

The distance reaches deeper, so much deeper I must race.
I see you standing strong, an inspiration in my gaze.
I feel my balance trembling; I detect my fate impending.
I heard there's a secret ending... one my mind cannot appraise.

I was skeptical at first, but now I'm starting to adhere
to all that mumbo psychic freaks insist on whisper'n in my ear.
I'm high above the ocean now. I'm starting to see clear.
I found the road again, somehow. And now I must adhere.

on the dark side of the
divine light, automatons
materialize within the
devil's kingdom

never to know

Pure, free, flow, just be
Slide into nature
Don't question, just be

Silence the society
Free your mind
Open to all, just be

"People living deeply have no fear of death."
"Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love."
"Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings."

Why I Hate Poetry: the poem

Shakespear replaced by Shatner
Abounding Ignorance of Iambic Pentameter
everyone..
thinks....
theyareapoet

Vague, ambiguous, and incomplete
liberally studded with "You", "I" and "Me"
you....
mustletgo....
cause I.....
can't say no.....

Your poetry sucks, but excuse your chagrin
because Sandburg was horrible, and so was Whitman
It doesnt get any worse reading Leaves of Grass
until having to read some Ogden Nash

A small incision at the base of your spine and I'm fucking your brain stem
A semino-spinal slurry sublime
A gnosis in the end

Strange and Cryptic Poetry
--------------------------

If I had my way, we'd be...
set free.
Like the leaves of the sassafras trees.

But I sing just out of key--
and believe me--
it's the norm; and I naturally...

freeze.
Like a deer--
in a halogen halo.

This one belongs on myspace and the fact I don't even have a myspace, this poem shames me

The Flaw

Stab my heart
See it bleed
Mix the crimson
With my seed
Plant the seed
Make sure it grows
Feed its flower
My bridal clothes
Burn my clothes
Eat the ash
Put the rest
Into the sash
Take the sash
Go to the pier
Hurl the sash
And drown your fear
Stare at your fear
Look the eyes
Face the colors
That made you cry
Go home and cry
For another day
Laugh at the moon
So pale and gay
Tale that gay
And shoot it down
Watch the smiles
Devolve to frowns
Take those frowns
And strangle them
Use your hands
And force the end
Now write the end
Dip your quill
Into your veins
And begin the thrill


--------------------
There is no valid reason you should be reading this

Walking the streets, pondering serial numbers and codes,
Alone with too much noise and casual interference,
finding not enough sunlight in my obscure corner,
as rationed by monoliths of steel and glass and too much paper,
Leaning in to constrict and belittle.
Like shoulder pads, as shown by the teller at the bank,
Where the long metal handrails clink down the staircase
And send their song spiraling down towards the lobby
Or out towards the daylight and casual interference.

one more
relfecting through a foggy mirror
recipient of anonymous threats
wondering lost in hollow gloaming
marveling high in lonely desert
at heavenly bodies cast unsung
unlike heroes named in neon arenas
where mass's excess leaves a stain
to cover up with threadbare carpet
or scrub out with noxious cleansing
It runs in the gutters after raining
clandestine color, shapeless fluid
to kill a songbird, make blind a child
to cast precious stones into crucible glowing
undoing nature's conquered will
to make false scenes of human progress
by choosing a facet of sideways sunlight
as reflected through a broken mirror


--------------------
FREEDOM ACROSS THE UNIVERSE!!!

I wrote this really quickly for an AIM away message. (sleeping)

My eyes have closed away the day
And opened up the night
Silent, still, alone I lay
Engulfed in mental sight

Traveling through an endless plane
I remember all I see
Locked inside my active brain
In a new reality

Time inside does not exist
Nor does wrong or right
When I leave I won't be missed
Events won't be as bright

If you wish to see me now
As hard as it may seem
Lay your tired body down
And join me in my dream.

Almond fingers wrest the pen
They scrawl away the dready hours
He writes it like he sees it, yeah
He writes it like he sees it
Then he never quite believes it
Till he sits inside his den again

let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love
