The World at Nightmare’s End
What a little oddity
An object that is no commodity
An object in a place
With a person who has no faceSimple tests over endless time
Without reason and without rhyme
Ghosts in past there is our futures
Frozen rivers with frozen featuresFormless mouths speak wordless words
Beasts swarm in uneven herds
Screams and shouts in empty caves
Beasts of burden treated like slavesAll this creation lies given birth
Scattered about upon this earth
Swallow dreams and spit out fortune
The Bitter aftertaste of ones misfortuneThe trouble is that there is no end
Messages are written with nowhere to send
Boys chase girls and girls are strong
Nobody knows which is right or wrongUpside down this life it seems
Will be answered in ones dreams
One finds his own great power
When he reaches his final hour-Poem by Dragon Blogger

19 Dec 2008
With the words I was provided today my mind went immediately to thinking about a Pizza party. Today’s poem was based off of 9 random words (highlighted in blue) and provided to me by followers on twitter who play my random poem game every weekday.
Thanks to the following people and their words:
@wizard1974uk (marathon), @SurfCityJay (ethics), @lejonprime (kazoo),@azredneck (pizza), @peteej (spatula), @jlp4u3 (prozac), @izealove (kerfuffle), @kcarruthers (verdant), @summerbreeze80 (saliva)I still need your vote on BlogNetAwards, if you like my poetry or you play my poem game, consider voting me Best Poetry Blog.
The Pizza Shop
Kids are excited by the Pizza Man
Uniform on and a hat on his head
Shoes on his feet, a spatula in his hand
Dough prepared but not to make breadA kerfuffle unsettles the cheese
Due to Pepperoni stacked on top
Kids imploring “More toppings please”
The oven door closes with a plopThe party a cure for a mood that is blue
More potent than any prozac
One child runs amuck, another plays a kazoo
One applause standing next to JackThe golden brown pie emerges from the oven
Saliva runs freely as we watch this display
Our tummies are ready for some lovin’
Kids enjoying this most wonderful dayVibrant verdant peppers adorning the tops
Tables are set and pies lay face up
Gooey Cheese bubbles, sizzles then pops
Each plate adorned with a fork and a cupA marathon ensues, who can eat the most food
Rushing over dodging kids with a shuffle
The last piece remains drawing a feud
Parents use ethics to solve this scuffleThe shortest straw shall win the last piece
A winner is chosen the rest stand in awe
The slice is lifted and dripping with grease
Last bite is gone when it enters the kids jaw-Poem by Dragon Blogger

Bounty On Her Heart
Princes and Kings have tried and failed
To win this free woman’s heart for them
She cannot be won some say she is a restless spirit
A soul with no mate a heart with no shapeSome have offered her silver and gold
Others castles, kingdoms and pieces of land
Her loves cost cannot be summed with calculator
She takes offense to those who tryInfantile men wounded by rejection
Are driven into flashing fits of rage
Threats against her friends and relatives
Are something she sometimes enduresWhat is it about her some would say
That instills a propensity to fall in love
If you are clever enough to make her smile
You would be blessed to feel so copeseticHer incandescent beauty radiates bright
Drawn from the energy of a thousands suns
Some would consider her seduction burlesque
Most however find the flavor deliciousA touch by her hand can induce a catatonic state
Lets you have the fortitude to withstand
Something unnatural and ageless about this girl
Which is why the world wants her hand with no exemptionSpitting image of a goddess turned mortal
Flowers grow wherever she walks
Feel her presence and you will understand
Why there is a bounty on her heart-Poem by Dragon Blogger

Random Twitter Poem For December 3rd

04 Dec 2008
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 angerA snippy remark is then cast next
I was Left scrambling unsure how to proceed
Were you being haughty, joking or derisiveYou cracked a smile with beguiling intent
A smile that made me feel both alive and dead
An almost vicious grin spanning ear to earWere you just playing with my head
Some kind of game with a slip of the tongue
Or is there a meaning behind it allWith an obsequious gesture of good faith
I delivered an apologetic elocution
And expressing how much I appreciateAll of the things you say and do
So let us walk along the waterfront
holding hands and shoulder to shoulderAnd put this misunderstanding
To bed forever where it belongs
For love is above such verbal mishaps-Poem by Dragon Blogger

01 Dec 2008
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 steerCorpulent people fight over trivial matters
An argument ensue and watermelon splattersWhat should be a source of felicity
Instead crumbles to delusional animosityA shout and a scream as someone pitches a fit
Your mouth filled with water your gurgle and spitThe incumbent member of this household speaks
In an ostentatious display of emotion he shrieksTo some this commotion would draw several tears
But the same gathering occurs year after yearLove 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.
