Challenge: The Perfect Ten (v2.0)

[vampiredust]

Mercury nets
of rain catch
leaves & zen

 

[DeepGreenEyes]

telephone pole

1,000 rusting staples
crumbling creosote synapses
struggle against failing memory.

 

[Vampiric_Mirage]

Crooked smile
Averted face
Cascading hair hiding secrets
Forever gone...

 

[DeepGreenEyes]

Elevators

Elevator shafts rise
from a brokenhearted field
Persephone needs transport.

 

[Vampiric_Mirage]

Persephone
didn't you know
tasting heaven
sends you to hell?...

 

[Vampiric_Mirage]

Forbidden fruit
drips from crimson lips
was it worth it?...

 

[vampiredust]

Poem

A crooked sky
corrects itself
in the smashed
moon's face.

 

[vampiredust]

...And The Stars Moved So Gently

Silent women
tread on carpets
of black and blue.

 

[PandoraGlitters]

Messengers of spring
ride droplet stallions
across the thinning ice.

 

[vampiredust]

Night (2)

Crow trains
carry our freight
of dreams
to ink factories.

 

[vampiredust]

Gone Fishin'

We empty
our mouths
of salt
and bones.

 

[PandoraGlitters]

Lacquer stiffens
her spine, shines
nails. On Fridays,
she drinks toluene.

 

[PandoraGlitters]

rake fingers
on my scalp
tresses sectioned
in your wake

 

[vampiredust]

.22 Fuck

Mascara drips
from some
forgotten moon.
Pavements lick
her sex.

 

[PandoraGlitters]

Long Distance

arms call arms
like magnets
cross planet

we almost touch

 

[DeepGreenEyes]

Praise

Blood pounds the roof
I lay in bed
oddly comforted.

 

[RhymeFairy]

hands tucked. fingers
fondling. wishing for
more. come, cum on .....



did I say that outloud? lol ~~

 

[Yoron]

Acid dreams
flowers my imagination
you
tears in the night

 

[Yoron]

and

Above you a red eye
behind you a dream
echo's

 

[PandoraGlitters]

Your last word
remains.

My words begin
again elsewhere
instead.

 

[Yoron]

The spring comes early
wind leaping leafs
I love it

 

[DeepGreenEyes]

Promises

Oatmeal sky
can't remember
to do its chores
oatmeal sky.

 

[vampiredust]

Movement

Rain splits afternoon
like a caesura.
Poems enjamb over
me.

 

[Angeline]

Movement

Rain splits afternoon
like a caesura.
Poems enjamb over
me.

Cold, sunny day wrapped
in poetry worn like a quilt.

 

[RhymeFairy]

...And The Stars Moved So Gently

Silent women
tread on carpets
of black and blue.

This is quiet
beautiful ......
