I hadn’t done a random twitter poem in about a week and I had to run some errands which prevented me from having the full normal time to do a random twitter poem in one sitting, but I was still able to craft this poem based on seven random words (highlighted in blue) from my followers on twitter who played today.

Thanks to the following people for submitting their words: @SurfCityJay (love), @grumpy79 (euphoria), @izealove (sycophant), @summerbreeze80 (desperation), @WebBetty (fastidious), @SonoranDragon (spizzerinctum), @infohwyman (triumph)

Madness For Love

One is driven to desperation
For the euphoria some call love
Muster up all the spizzerinctum you have
Love need not be a fastidious game

Love ebbs and flows like the tide
It is there without realizing it
It is found without searching for it
Flowing around you like the ocean

A sycophant has no chance of finding it
Nor one whose greed see’s no good
A lonely heart may not even notice it
As a careless one could easily lose it

Finding love is one’s ultimate triumph
Sustaining it is an even bigger accomplishment
All find hope in this ocean of fish
Where the water itself is what you sought all along

A Stolen Moment

Splashing from a tub of water
Playful gestures invite passion
Entering ones arms to play
Sweat and water mix
The sweet taste of a passionate kiss
Waves of water like a rolling sea
Splashing the floors around you and me
Dare we stop, of course we don’t
Passion lies with each fleeting moment
To have and hold one’s breath and love
Grasping each others bodies one explodes
Wrapped in tender, wrapped in water
Wrapped in the bodies of each other
A moment stolen, This is our time
Times are never forgotten
A moment is never wasted
Love is never dull

-Poem by Dragon Blogger

Martian Man

Who is this Martian man
Head shaped like a little tin can
body green with torso small
Eyes so large like a ball

Who is this Martian man
Skin so pale he has no tan
Arms so thin and legs too short
He sure is an odd little sort

Who is this Martian man
When he showed up the people ran
He seems quite nice to me
He just wants to be free

-Poem by Dragon Blogger

The Weeping Willow

See how the willows weeps
Streams of leaves falling like tears
From a face that never sleeps
Reaching for a sky that can never be obtained
The clouds above provide the only shade
For a willow that stands alone

You stand before this mighty tree
Simple plant of leaf and branch
Yet somehow you cannot see but feel
That the tree is whispering at you
Not just whispering but weeping openly
What is it you wonder, why so gloom?

I have seen a world and cannot stop
A world where villages burn down
People scorn each other and far worse still
Innocence is lost in children and more
The horrors that I cannot unsee
I am stuck here with this misery

So I weep for my children who are here
The animals and the plants, all that you see
I weep to stop living and seeing this hate
For all people are nothing but equals to me
What good does it do who is wrong or who is right
You are human as is she and those who came before

I am only a lone plant and can’t take anymore
Chop down my trunk and make this go away
So many people that lack purpose and harmony
If you were all plants you would be called weeds
For weeds overgrow and care not what else
Trample abroad to spread only oneself

One day will come when people wake up
All stand together, drink from the same cup
But I cannot wait and see any longer
I wish I could but I am not getting stronger
The feelings of hate leave me famished and weak
Harmony is almost gone and chaos at its peak

Today’s twitter poem had consisted of 11 random words provided by twitter followers, if you would like to play the game contact me @dragonblogger and send me random words weekday mornings.  I accept one word per person.

The twitter words are highlighed in blue, and someone requested to see who submitted what word so I am laying out the contributors and the words they submitted here:

@summerbreeze80 (conclave), @SurfCityJay (chaos), @queenoftheclick (frigid), @coyotesqrl (grazing), @lejonprime (borborygmous), @izealove (Amish), @elizasea (scrumptious), @jlp4u3 (galaxy), @cheth (breathless), @or1gb1u3 (impact), @blm03 (arrested

The Simple Life

Ban this technology for a simpler life
A life spent against the frigid earth
Time spent tending a herd of sheep grazing
And hearing the occasional borborygmous

Amish have chosen this life of peace
Closer to nature is closer to god
Some would find this way too rough
Too much chaos and too much work

In a conclave the people come together
Celebrating their way of life
Over scrumptious food barely seasoned
Fresher than any ever had before

Speech temporarily arrested for silent prayers
Thankful for all the earth provides
The toils of the people who bring this to us
Harmony achieved within this community

The view of the sky would leave you breathless
No light from the earth to drown out the stars
You feel a part of this universe on which you impact
While eating under the stars of a watchful galaxy

You cannot help but think about the simple life
Where a cubicle and and office phone do not exist
You build your own life with your own hands
Community has a truer meaning

My Possession

With this possession I profess
It gives me great pleasure and I digress
A ring on my finger which means much to me
As a bee is to honey and a leaf to a tree

It pains me to part with it for this short while
I miss the intricate carving and gold style
All for a purpose and goal I say to myself
And my possession sits alone tucked in my shelf

So now I am thinking was it wrong or right
That I deprive myself of this both day and night
I feel I am unworthy of what it represents
This has a meaning and I hope it prevents

What occurs all too frequent and causes lament
The harm that I have caused was never meant
I must stop doing this and fully repent
I must give it my all, 100% percent

Today I was late collecting random words and even later putting the poem together, but I still managed to complete a random poem today.  Today’s poem included 9 random words that were submitted by the following people on twitter:  @summerbreeze80, @craftyGAgal, @sheakoshan, @clowerpower, @doctor_s, @coyotesqrl, @izealove, @doctor_s, @wizard1974uk

A Misunderstanding

A casual conversation turned awry
One misstep in a verbal articulation
Confusion sets in followed by anger

A snippy remark is then cast next
I was Left scrambling unsure how to proceed
Were you being haughty, joking or derisive

You cracked a smile with beguiling intent
A smile that made me feel both alive and dead
An almost vicious grin spanning ear to ear

Were you just playing with my head
Some kind of game with a slip of the tongue
Or is there a meaning behind it all

With an obsequious gesture of good faith
I delivered an apologetic elocution
And expressing how much I appreciate

All of the things you say and do
So let us walk along the waterfront
holding hands and shoulder to shoulder

And put this misunderstanding
To bed forever where it belongs
For love is above such verbal mishaps

-Poem by Dragon Blogger

The Rescuer

Shadows fall in the valley of the past
Music blowing on a howling wind
The peak of a cliff under your feet
Spelunking for days seeking your target

The cavern lies before you
Ten fortnights journey to arrive
Madness to try you were told
Here you stand at the gaping mouth

Muscles torn and weary from climbing
Harness and gear still in tow
You enter the cavern and the unknown
Wondering if you will meet friend or foe

You ignite your lantern and illuminate
Countless stalagmites fill the chamber like teeth
You see what you hoped to find
A small boy wrapped in a sleeping bag

You rush over to assist and care for his wounds
The boy startles awake and surprised
You came for me he cries with glee
I didn’t think you would even try

You whisk the boy up and bring him to safety
Rejoining the rest of his family this time
A successful rescue from a hike gone awry
This is your job and what you do

The Creature

This beast covered in fur walks like a Sasquatch
It’s appearance brings forth jeers and derision
Farmers and villagers pitch tomatoes, potatoes and peppers
Pelting this beast whom they try to drive off

Some oil soaked torches a spark of flint and steel
combustion occurs, fire to burn the beast
A pitchfork is thrown with spot on accuracy
It pierces the monsters atrial septum

The creature is not harmed but smiling instead
Removing the weapon from its chest it cries out
The wound closes with supernatural regeneration
The monster stares at the crowd with unknown intent

The creature then draws a sudden intake of breath
Out is exhaled a putrid green noxious cloud
That rolls over the farmers like a great morning fog
They realize too late the cloud is an anesthetic

Falling to the ground unaware of their fate
Their limbs and consciousness melt like margarine
Some wonder if they will ever awake again
Then the last man falls and the story might end

Instead eyes open many hours later
People wake up groggy unsure of what happened
The creature harmed nobody it would seem
So maybe the monster was not a monster after all
