twitter poems
01 Mar 2010

Manufacturing is a poem that depicts a factory or machine shop late at night where the parts it creates are becoming obsolete. Inspired by the 12 random words (in blue) provided by the following twitter players today:
@GeB0i (equanimity), @Williamm49 (bibliographic), @dreamon51 (glittery), @KathrynVercillo (worthless), @malenko10 (nightshift), @KookiesKrumble (succulent), @blusol (fruition), @anahbird (panda), @filigreegirl (sigh), @stevejclark (scion), @Jemfyr (mousse), @AttilaBS (cantankerous)

Manufacturing

Cantankerous nightshift worker
slopping up succulent dessert mousse
like a panda on bamboo rampage

Machinery groans a sigh of equanimity
as glittery steel and iron toil away
a bibliographic scene of manufacturing

Once the epitome of fruition and wealth
construction now wheezes on nearly worthless parts
scion of technology having outgrown the parent

A bell rings signaling the breaks end
the fatigued man returns to hard labor
wondering how long until he is antiquated

04 Aug 2009

Today’s poem is filled with pain and sorrow about someone alone and in the deep throes of depression. It was inspired by the 15 random words (in blue) provided below by my twitter followers:

@planetjefferson (Natchez), @kcarruthers (precipice), @SurfCityJay (manage), @HollyJahangiri (enervate), @jedibloggers (zabaglione), @KathrynVercillo (returning), @RobinJP (birthday), @franscud (parsimonious), @ryjr (Sorrow), @MrsWomanSays (tremulous), @R_Arblaster (quintessential), @johnjriewe (inveterate), @shemah (adaptation), @SashaSabbeth (Soul Purpose)

Soul Purpose

Quintessential sorrow thick and pasty
like zabaglione welling in your chest
happiness as extinct as the Natchez tribe
life of tremulous parsimonious solemn adaptation
precipice reached on your birthday alone
stress and solitude manage to enervate hope
the last little bits of sanity and sustenance lost
endless inveterate depression latching on
as you try to find your soul purpose

A Moment Spent For Me Alone

Dark Poems
17 May 2009

A Moment Spent For Me Along

Distant dreams upon lightless stars
hope I find, is only met with despair
drinking this last moment in
savoring my one last moment
a moment spent
for me alone

I fly and I knew I would
wind caressing my tightened face
this moment trapped eternally
savoring my one last moment
a moment spent
for me alone

With a flash its all gone
body broken but spirit healed
this moment ended but a new one begins
a moment spent
for me alone
