Magnetic Lustfulness

Intoxicated by your lust,

In momentum I gave my trust,

Time honored traditions,

Not mine, but yours,

Spontaneous reasoning, beloved

Polluted Kisses & A Shadow's Path (2 poems posted to Twitter)

Polluted Kisses,

Purging Smog,

A luster lathering,

Atop-         

-                                  Within

A shadow’s shadow crossed us by,

Opacity engulfed you and I,

Reflected in such a time, a lapse revealed,

That the startled shadow withdrew,

Leaving only me and you

Prose Poem

I went for a walk. Clarity was the aim.  Distraction is to blame. Without focus, we’re left watching squirrels in trees.

Micropoetry

Chartreuse mist of meaning

Governed by a twisting vein

Alarms and developments

Events that spawn,

Persist through dawn

As the rooster woos the day

The Deceiver

Wrapping coils, to unsuspecting kin

Begs spurred from hunger

It spies an otter wading

As parricide appears

Devalued Glimmer

Stripes of outer pulse

Glorious repercussion

Demystification of golden halls

I wander

Through them all

As the macabre raps

At a window by the bed

Best leave curiosity for dream

Only God knows what’s behind the pane

Cats in a window

Observing other cats

They see them as free

They want that so badly too

But cats can’t understand

The woes of parenthood

Gems washed with care

Bubbling brilliance everywhere

A prism of hope for all to share

A gentle gliding

Dreaming in

Lyrically unwind

Blight or chorded delight

Sustain-Refrain-Rhyme

When lost for words

In music, something you’ll always find

Haikus

Fumbling out

Enclosed mental pen

Secrets roam

Portobello, yum

Savoring the taste to tongue

A La Deriva

Spiny reaches out

Ossein dreams converted

Exoskeleton

Gogyohka

Body

Armor 

Guards blood  

stained interior

Six Word Lines

Feline Shaman purrrify all their litter

InfanTILE, applied with paste, new foundations

Communal Poem

A small group of poets, myself included, got together on Twitter this past week.  @moltoassai,@akischilz, @gustavojmata,@poeticalpsyche (me), and @isabelmbush.  These are our handles on twitter, feel free to follow us for our own unique blend of poetical musings.  This is also the order for this first #Communalpoem, the hashtag where you can see how the process evolved, every line, inspiration and bump of it.

This first Communal Poem is a ten line piece.  Lines 1-5 are composed in the order listed above. Lines 6-10 are in reverse order.  Snake-like winding for any of those familiar with Fantasy Sports drafting.  Each of the lines in this poem also serve as a portal to the website of the poet who composed that line.

The Green leaves tremble feeling shy
Until shivering their blossom into flight
On a magic mushroom the grasshopper chants
Lines of wisdom, lines of rhyme, lines over ten-thousand times
He continues his solemn chant, until the moon rises and casts its light over the misty river

Hearing the call, the giant white eagle wakes, from his decade long slumber
Wings expand, tufts breathe, talons release its dreamtime grasp

Anaba sweeps the Hogan floor-Manaba whisper "Our time is come"

The eagle knows; wings fan a moon into the eyes of the grasshopper at Manaba's feet

Sweet sounded words the poet's glory; that was our little springtime story


Please check out each of the links and enjoy the contributing poets personal sites.  I'm sure there will be plenty for you to enjoy.

Finally, if you're on twitter, grab some friends and compose a communalpoem of your own.  Feel free to save all your project posts to #communalpoem so the world can watch your creativity unfold.  All I ask is that if you see a current communalpoem in progress you watch as it unfolds before starting your own, just to cut down on any confusion.

Thanks and hope you all enjoyed.

Twitter Variety Pack 2

Lunes

Crimson, ruby lips

Painted agents for camouflage

True identity revealed

Legend falls hard

As rings distribute for warmth

Disregard for nature

Gogyohka

Within the lotus dream

Time will stop

And it will go

Away

From dream state

Peacefully breaking

Into

A never-ending sleep

Haiku

Pestilence and pride

Ruiner of body and mind

Until the soil stirs

Tanka

Pestilence and pride

Ruiner of body and mind

Until the soil stirs

Acutely conditioning

Withering from selfishness

Micro-Poetry

Jealousy, it’s not for me,

Yet it does creep impatiently,

In my thoughts and within

Unconscious looks I give,

What’s been said, and what’s been heard,

A path toward interment laced with words

To silence the jaded voice,

I found self respect as my only choice

Twitter Variety Pack

Micro-poetry

Every Facet

All Around

Competing for attention

Jumping out of skin

To make a crack begin

Before the frown freezes in

Trinkets in grass

The mouse stored

To and From

Scampering ground

Circling above

A vulture roams

Gogyohkas

Two boulders rest by Giant’s form

A shadow of past

Awaits the awakening of future’s door

Within

A trance of hope

A walk through

A glow beneath

Pleasant yet frightening

Noises from inside

Looking back I swear to see

The marble, move as well

Crickets sing

Beneath billowed brush

Eavesdropping

Upon familiar conversation

While stirring tea with a child’s spoon

War-Torn

Been a long time

“saw you just the other…”

Yet we didn’t speak

A glimpse

Longer for me, than for you

Framework of…poetry

Senryus

Kettle barrel deep

Tympanic resolutions

Attuned beyond sound

Mindful confidence

For departed rattling chains

Unbound voyaging

Goldfish swimming laps

Waiting for the hawk to clear

Surfacing, Koi-ly

3 Senryu's posted to Twitter

A blanket of white

A spectacle unrehearsed

Softly consuming

To see, to soar

To peak before

It takes time

For wings and legs to find

Altitude, aptitude

Crawl before skall

Lest you may

Tumble or fall

Two Twitter Micro-poems

 A chapel, in the sky

Cumulus puffs

Touching the tips of apse

Stained, but not the glass

No hope for love that’s cirrus thin

On utopian dreams

Discourse finds

Your dreams will not be yours alone

Warehouse, on a shelf

They are stored

You, wanting more

Ego Bowling

Bowling with my ego

Hands tied, headless

Gutters’ all Id see

Pinned down, reminded

I get two chances to knock ‘em down

2 Gogyohka poems posted on Twitter

Time

Spent

Like Money

Bartering sense

Less, a minute

Passing through

The hours in

My pocket

His Tree

Gone-Buried-Forgotten

How it grew into

A composite

Of stateliness and shade

Various poems Tweeted

Dangerous surroundings

Scabbard’s Empty

Prayer unsheathed

Couplet

Another barriers exists between us too,

Only one loves us, while we both love you

Saharan mirrors crawl

Parchment paper on wounds to mend

Tall drink of lemonade

Siren song dwindling

In the veil

Alternating Language

Te quiero asi,

Three words that move my soul;

Until you deviate into;

Pero no como tu me quieres

Even so, Aun teamo

Vacate the presence,

Before it grows,

Silence the tenets,

Before they know,

Vanquish and Vanish,

Before hope erodes

5 Twitter Poems from 5-10-11, Timeless, The Crowd(from Mywordwizard prompt), Labeled, A question of and Stone Face

A haggard wisdom

Coveting

From hairline to chin

Like rings on a tree

Timelessness betrayed by time

The crowd would not disconnect

A mass of wires firmly stitched

Absorbing the messages affixed

From these words,

Each understood,

United, they must persevere

In unity, they would survive

How do you label me!

Claiming an evil tongue I used

Without questioning your own ears

Perhaps you lost your way

Due to a lifetime of coddling blame

Just because I speak a language you cannot know

Even though your spirit is not your own

You have no right, to disassemble mine

Face of Stone

Deploring home

Neighborhood children have their lore

Crocodile tears and Cheshire grins

Erode the best parts of him

Glossy and Gilded Two Micro-Poems

Glossy lair,

Byzantine

Reflecting crime I know too well

Oval interludes escapes the thrill

Madagascar crawling over lens until

A gilded mind,

The guilty find,

Amongst the ashes left behind

Behemoth

The behemoth cried a river’s flow,

Good intentions hold no weight

When cast against the results in plain sight,

Pensively the beast did sit

Above the arch, looking over this,

Hands to face, wiping eyes

This was the day it realized,

Hands create, yet these same hands can also destroy

5 O'Clock (expanded from Word Wizard prompt)

Each day at five o’clock

We sat just beyond,

The fields of corn,

Watching the break of dawn

This day was different, or so it should be

After what transpired,

Just the night before

I was surprised, shocked and stunned,

Each of those, wrapped into one

How quickly God can forgive,

How swiftly he could forget every piece of it
