Rampage

Life spent in dour beaten seclusion
ignorant lack of understanding
and freezing unrequited pity
catalyst for my bitter volatile rage
on an escalator to insanity with no escape
a clown performing its final act
no warranty to protect you now
I follow no guidelines or mandamus
vertiginous confusion spreads like fire
blood spills on this verdant campus
as I start a murderous nightmare rampage

Final Plea – Random Twitter Poem for Jan 12th

twitter poems
12 Jan 2010

The poem Final Plea depicts a killer in remorse, drinking tequila to wash away his guilt before he either takes his own life or maybe is on death row about to be silenced by lethal injection. This poem was inspired by the 15 random words provided (in blue) by the following twitter followers:
@drdon911 (anaphylaxis), @Chrissyisms (eclosion), @Oneunder2001 (humble), @KathrynVercillo (punctilious), @SurfCityJay (external), @filigreegirl (puzzlement), @RemBeatZ (Tequila), @delomos (quo), @hammyhavoc (concupiscent), @jmbuckingham (Nourishing), @AttilaBS (Casting), @dreamon51 (angioplasty), @Ileane (Volunteering), @TrinaMb (guilty), @HarleyQuinnAA (Prison)

Final Plea

Potent tequila nourishing guilty feelings
throat seizing as if undergoing anaphylaxis
some vulgar witch casting a damnation curse
a single concupiscent evening gone horribly awry
murder bursting forth unrestrained like an eclosion
just another puzzlement in this jagged humble prison
where mind and heart are torn by punctilious pain
no emotional angioplasty found to fix the damage
external consequences, unending bitter reminders
volunteering for an end to this status quo
a plea that ends with a merciful injection
