Challenge: The perfect ten.

[Angeline]

Out from
under the bed
Given wings
flying instead

 

[denis hale]

Um...

Octave leap
in a liturgy

Icharus shooting
star of urgency

and an avid
Vic Morrow Rocket Man
splattered on the ceiling fan

but happy.

 

[Linbido]

Out from
under the bed
Given wings
flying instead

Underneath only
dust bunnies dwell
Given wings...
oh, bloody hell!

Edited bust to dust...freudian slip?

 

[Guest]

I'm sending out an A.P.B.
Where's
O.T?

sky blue
why
Dad?

you will know
as you grow.

 

[Guest]

Help! I can't stop!

The poet searched
Everywhere.
Never
To find
Ecstasy or
Nirvana.


The
electric
night
throbbed with
every
note.

Three wishes
Eleventh hour
Nine holes
Two eyes
Eight…….
….nudes

In the graveyard
Under the blood red moon
Kissing you

Silver clouds
Your tears
Radiant rainbow
My pot of gold

[ExistentialLuv]

Succulent rose
Dripping with dew
Screams eat me

Thank you for commenting on the poem
Have not had much feedback on any of my poetry so I decided I should start posting some on the board for it. There will be many more to come. Again, Thanx

shorebirds
poised at the
gates of dawn

the dark ocean.

 

[Angeline]

morning beach
dawns
cold sandsquish
wave-crashed shore
day begun

 

[Angeline]

ooops wait.
no more beach
bookstore
opened early.

 

[Rybka]

Bookstore
no more
Amazon
at my door

 

[eagleyez]

treasures from your soul
where i live now

jewel house.

 

[lickmyboot]

desert moon
my flower wild
your snake
out of place

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Other mothers pass
fulfilled with secret knowledge
my womb lies empty.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

All cans in one bag
too heavy--they fall on my foot
oh, when will they learn.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Skin mountains, flesh hills
the palest of pale pink peaks
squeezed into my bra

(this one's for my pic on my profile page)

sentimentals-

Blood flows.
Thoughts flow.
When they pool,
We die.


Who put these petals on my pillow?
Let them grow.


Why write so little
To say so much
in silence?

pretentiousness-

When they find
These words
They will pretend to care.


truth-


The simian's apposable thumb
Does little good up his bum.

 

[Linbido]

The simian's apposable thumb
Does little good up his bum.

Rather keep head in the clouds,
than up your ass.

lap full of cat
cup full of tea
sun spill.


road works ahead
change lanes now
bumps for five miles.


skeleton tree
masking before
now lets me see
the seashore.

[eagleyez]

naked willow
once roundish
cackling witch fingers
curl and point.

(loves deciduous tress)

 

[Linbido]

Not for the kids...

see spot run
spot runs fast
over a cliff

Winnie the Pooh
must have
really shitty teeth
by now...


*dreaming Dr Zeuss*
How the Grinch stole
my virg...
whatever.

Why is your
homework
assignment
my personal
hell?

*****
You've known
for two weeks,
and you're starting
tonight?

*****

Why
would I hide
index cards
from you?

*****
I do NOT
like the dog

(OK,
sometimes
I do.)

*****
Stop
saying
Talk to
the hand.
You know
she hates that.

*****

Stop
calling him
"Pinky Boy"
You know
he hates that.
