The Onion

   Posted by: dragonblogger    in Misc Poems

The Onion

I cry clear tears if you cut me
You shall cry too in return
My lines run in circles
My rings too numerous

I can be as sweet as an apple
I can be as potent as a brew
I can enhance flavor
or I can steal it from you

So bite into me
Savor my unique taste
carve me to decorate your plate
serve me as rings or bits

My red skin can garnish
My pulp can satiate
On a hamburger I am divine
I am the onion

Random Twitter Poem For December 1st

   Posted by: dragonblogger    in twitter poems

Today’s random poem came together with a theme about dysfunctional families and six people contributed a total of 8 words which are highlighted in blue (one person submitted 3 words and I decided to use all 3).  Thanks to the following people for providing words today:  @izealove, @wizard1974uk, @jmedvm, @coyotesqrl, @lejonprime, @SurfCityJay

Dysfunctional Family Reunion

A family gathering held but once a year
At a table that serves both chicken and steer

Corpulent people fight over trivial matters
An argument ensue and watermelon splatters

What should be a source of felicity
Instead crumbles to delusional animosity

A shout and a scream as someone pitches a fit
Your mouth filled with water your gurgle and spit

The incumbent member of this household speaks
In an ostentatious display of emotion he shrieks

To some this commotion would draw several tears
But the same gathering occurs year after year

Love them or hate them they are family
And you are a branch that grew onto this tree

-Poem by Dragon Blogger

PS.  If you want to participate, you can Tweet me random words every weekday between 9am and 11am and I will usually be crafting a poem in that general time frame.   Just tweet me @dragonblogger on twitter my friends.

Random Twitter Poem For November 26th

   Posted by: dragonblogger    in twitter poems

I had some new contributors today and had a total of 9 random words provided to me from twitter which was the most number of random words so far in a single poem.  The random words are highlighted in blue, I also tried to accomodate some people suggesting a rain theme, dark theme, light theme and blended it all into one poem.  Thanks to the following people for providing me words:  @bteddern,@craftyGAgal, @summerbreeze80, @wizard1974uk, @SurfCityJay, @coyotesqrl, @lejonprime, @Benjphoto, @IntegralChaotic

Wash Away These Troubles

Don’t discount the act of rain
cleansing the skies and your worries away
the wind spiralling the water around you
cast away your umbrellas and be baptized

If you were angry let it be washed away
If you were sad drown your tears in the downpour
Let purity trickle from your fingers
The water cleanses despair from your body

The rain drops an infinite enumeration
Rectify your woes as the water does drought
So enjoy this tryst in the rain
Let it cleanse the boondocks around you

As your mind clears and your spirits soar
surfing through the sky your imagination lifts
as a digital traveler searching through firefox
you find a destination that untangles this web

You blink and awareness sets back in
drenched from head to toe you feel different
no more heavy heart and no more fears
your world is brought back into symmetry

We Have A Choice

   Posted by: dragonblogger    in Misc Poems

We Have A Choice

We have a choice to end this suffering
We have a choice to heal these wounds
We have a choice to lift up the helpless
We have a choice to feed the hungy

We have a choice to end these wars
We have a choice to fix this world
We have a choice to be more tolerant
We have a choice to learn from the past

We have a choice to build new bridges
We have a choice to right old wrongs
We have a choice to set life free
We have a choice to save our humanity

Random Twitter Poem For November 19th

   Posted by: dragonblogger    in twitter poems

Today’s twitter poem consisted of six words provided by my fellow twitter friends two of whom contributed for the first time.  All random words that were provided are highlighted in blue, thank you to the following people for contributing:  @lejonprime, @SurfCityJay, @coyotesqrl, @uzziemom, @wizard1974uk, @SJohnson85

This poem was very much inspired by the TV Show of the same name.

The Pretender

Who are you my friend and what do you do
Is what I ask to someone who has no name
Someone who has no role yet assumes so many
And lives a life between the shadows

With unpredictable gonzo tendencies
Your paths as multihued as the rainbow
One uniform you may wear today
Only to change into another tomorrow

One day you may work at a deli
packaging and selling salami
another in the hospital wing
assessing a patient for charity

Nobody would think you an impostor
You assume the roles so naturally
Everyone is drawn to your charisma
As the moths are drawn to the light

How can one live when they don’t know who they are
This is a testament to your fortitude
Slow down now and reveal your true self
Stop living the way of The Pretender

Give You The World

   Posted by: dragonblogger    in Love Poems

Give You The World

If only I could wrap you in a cloud
The sky would be yours to soar
If only I could sail you to the sun
The sea would be yours to command

Moving mountains would be at your command
If the strength of gods I should possess
Slay your worries as knights slay dragons
I shall be your one true hero

If only I could provide more than I am able
Would it show just how much I would do
For you are the one I live for
I aspire to give you the world

What Have I Done?

   Posted by: dragonblogger    in Dark Poems

What Have I Done?

Think back to a moment in your life
where you made a choice
one small choice

The effects which had consequences
of which you could not predict
one small choice

At the time it seemed right
didn’t it?
one small choice

You shall pay for that moment
for the rest of your life
one small choice

You think to yourself
was this worth it?
one small choice

That is when it hits you
one small choice and you think
What have I done?

-Poem by Dragon Blogger

Twitter Random Poem For November 10th

   Posted by: dragonblogger    in Love Poems, twitter poems

This poem today was crafted from seven words provided to me by tweeple on twitter. I really enjoy doing this contest where I just ask people to send me random words on twitter and I create a completely original and new poem using the crafted words from scratch. It only takes me about 10 minutes to create a poem once I find a common theme for the words. Let me know what you think of today’s contest poem. (All of the Twitter words provided are highlighted in blue)

Waiting For Your Return

We embraced and said our goodbyes
You would return soon
Time has now slowed to a crawl
As I sit at home thinking of you

Sing me a song in the coldest of winters
Where the wind blows and chill sets in
My sweat will freeze into icicles
My heart will crystallize until it feels your warmth

Love is the only verisimilitude
All I do is lay at night
Waiting to witness your majestic beauty
And this absence leaves me with an excruciating loneliness

So I lay here feeling blue and care to remember
the last time I felt your kiss
our eyes danced with each other
and our hearts beat as one

-Poem By Dragon Blogger

Thank you to the following people for providing me with the random words:  @miriella, @brullig, @reginasuniverse, @lejonprime, @Imantion, @coyotesqrl, @SurfCityJay

Twitter Random Poem For November 7th

   Posted by: dragonblogger    in Misc Poems, twitter poems

Had 6 words tweeted to me for the contest today and this poem just kind of formed itself once I saw all the words on paper. Here is my random poem today crafted from random twitter words: (All of the Twitter words provided are highlighted in blue)

Mystic Fairies

Follow me into the thickening glades
in search of wanderlust and magic
where creatures are found swimming
in the purest pools of creation

Their bodies radiate beauty
but don’t let their forms fool you
bask in their presence but try not to touch
lest you get a petulant reaction from them

If you shower them with praise and affection
they will just think you superb
and fulfill your mortal desires
leaving you wanting for more

More fairies riding on backs of white ponies
ask you to join in their fun and games
get lost in this illusion of happiness
and enter the world of the light

Once you find yourself in this moment
you will never escape nor try
temptation and fantasy are all to infectious
who wants to go back to reality

-Poem by Dragon Blogger

I would like to thank the following tweeple on twitter who gave me random words today:  @elizasea, @brullig, @SurfCityJay, @Crimsong, @RobinJP, @AZRedNeck

Twitter Random Poem for November 4th

   Posted by: dragonblogger    in twitter poems

I periodically ask people on twitter who follow me to randomly submit me a word and I will craft a unique poem involving the words I am given.  Today I received 6 words that all flowed together for me to find a common theme.  Here are my results:  (All of the Twitter words provided are highlighted in blue)

Death Rides In From The Vast Ocean

The poison tide rolls in
acidic fog steals your breath
this is but one sign
of the harbinger known as death

Your fellow man will bootleg your soul
to save his own from this awful fate
So death comes forward in a tidal wave
riding on the back of skeletal hippopotamuses

His scythe in hand your vision grows dark
people scatter before him like ants
you try to run but your knees are wobbly
instead falling to the ground begging for your life

You scream for your life but no words come out
all you taste before the end of the road
is the acrid salty seaweed sliding down your throat
the tide sweeps over you and all is lost

-Poem by Dragon Blogger

Thanks to the following Tweeple who provided the words today:  @cre8nnov8, @coyotesqrl, @jayjo, @TheDailyBlonde, @miriella, @reginasuniverse.

So let me know what you think people, leave a comment or tweet me back on twitter (@dragonblogger).
