Thaw Out

An egotistical lingering ice storm overhead
a flirt with abnormally high temperatures
temporary abduction of winter’s bitter cold
fluttering of branches as leaves shed weight
discarded snowballs the size of a coconut
the frozen winter treat liquefied rapidly
icicles melt and splinter while falling
dripping nebular water like dirty cream
scalable runoff racing in conspiracy
the road transfigured into tablature
sophisticated furor over the timing
a quandary over the cleanup ensues
kids mumble over returning to school
a ski franchise braces for a dive
as everything starts to thaw out

The Spoon

The Spoon
Whether icy cold or blisteringly hot
You are plunged into clear or murky depths
You are spun wildly your gleaming leg above the surface
Slowly tapered you drink and come afloat
Holding what you have tasted, you are summoned to me
Your prize then is siphoned, and you are cast again
Reeling in the liquid time and time again
Until satiation is reached, then you are released
Only to be called again.

The Fork

Misc Poems

The Fork
How the light gleams off that metal skin,
Your sharp tips ready to dive into flesh,
Even as you taste the meat you’re moving,
Slowly and steadily pulling your victim to me,
You are under my control your victim taken,
And as I feast upon what you have staked,
You are forced to seek another morsel,
This pattern repeats, for you time is endless.
But once I am done you are cast away,
Ready to be used another day.

twitter poems
05 Feb 2010

Royal Ball was a poem about a grand feast and ball and was inspired by so many french related words and terms played today, Voltaire, cotillion, duck all brought a Parisian theme into my head. This poem was inspired by the 15 random words (in blue) provided by the following twitter followers:
@GeB0i (threnody), @filigreegirl (Voltaire), @santasdevil (reunion), @manitisle (duck), @stevejclark (cotillion), @drdon911 (eviscerate), @A_Lan (trajectory), @Williamm49 (emphasize), @dereksemmler (Tantalizing), @fragileheart (confusion), @RalphCarlson (acid), @IdeaOffer (partnering), @anefallarme (sage), @poetisk (intergalactic), @Jemfyr (deadline)

Royal Ball

Spirits soar on high trajectory
cotillion with the finest in life
mild confusion, dancing deadline reached
as evening dish is served in full
a tantalizing intergalactic flavor
intricate enough to impress Voltaire
a partnering of duck and sage spices
the slightest tang of a citrus acid
butter to emphasize the richness further
reunion of tongue and fork repeating
magical taste that would eviscerate
the most melodramatic threnody
enjoyed at the royal ball

New Sunglasses – Random Twitter Poem for Feb 4th

twitter poems
04 Feb 2010

New Sunglasses is a comical poem about somebody looking cool in new shades (or at least thinking they do). It was inspired by the 12 random words (in blue) provided by the following twitter followers:
@tweric (wretched), @Ileane (Naysayers), @JeffHicks (scandal), @simetra7 (recombinant), @anahbird (cold), @Jan_Geronimo (renegade), @barbehr (waiting), @stevejclark (morass), @HarleyQuinnAA (garage), @Williamm49 (respectful), @ptaylor98 (whimsical), @drdon911 (eclectic)

New Sunglasses

Commanding respectful greetings from naysayers
like a cold renegade invoking a wretched scandal
a whimsical eclectic fantasy dreamt quickly
when you see them waiting in the garage
begging to be removed from the morass
and feeling recombinant, a lost memory regained
as you slide them over your eyes slowly
vision dimmed, confidence brightening
you hastily exit the door strutting
in your slick new wholesale sunglasses

-Poem by Dragon Blogger

Ever know somebody who had an object or belonging that made them think they were cool or on top of the world, what item was it?  I know many people who have talked about their sunglasses being “designer brand” or  walked around showing off a purse…etc.
