This poem was inspired by the 12 random words (in blue) submitted today by the following twitter people:
@KathrynVercillo (sleepiness), @simetra7 (extravagant), @filigreegirl (nebbish), @robertbravery (frustrated), @jodapoet (paresthesia), @Piratelover22 (radially), @anefallarme (exhausted), @azredneck (margin), @CommentLuv (screen), @RemBeatZ (brewing), @hammyhavoc (nidificate), @wishinghearts (editorial)

To help you interpret the poem, I will include meanings/definations of the 3 words I had to look up today:

nidificate = desire to build a nest / building a nest
paresthesia = unexplained numbness or tingling in the skin or body
nebbish = fool, idiot, someone with bad luck

Slave in Service

extravagant activities tiring
frustrated sleepiness brewing
poor exhausted nebbish collapsing
thinking only to nidificate quickly
overworked limbs suffering paresthesia
screen of health reveals the obvious
knowing the conclusion you push yourself
running radially with last ounces of energy
yet you collapse at the encampment margin
final words and thoughts silenced quickly
no editorial or notice of your passing
just another used up slave in service

Shattered Morning

Sunshine flooded through broken glass
pattern of fleeting quirky shadows mocking
a philanthropic flirt of his lunar mistress
flabbergast on being entangled in this quandary
magnanimous fash crashed like climategate scandal
wave of neophobia and a now unstable future sickening
envy turning into regret over one bovine evening
a shattered morning from a terminal mistake

Cowardly

Feckless humility and regret from Friday’s nightly stroll
a chillax serendipitous park travel migrated too rapidly
decent into an intricate disaster in mere moments it seemed
shadows fell around your footsteps with ominous intent
devoid of any heroic artifice, you scuttled and hid
like an ambiguous incognito tarantula from a dragon
fire of courage was nothing but a flickering candle
an attacker that may have not even existed that night
an action that speaks for your character forever
cowardly

This poem included the 12 random words (in blue) provided by the following twitter players:
@KathrynVercillo (putrid), @rmilana (Butterfly), @blusol (demonstrate), @purple_froggy (overdrawn), @shonie1966 (analyze), @filigreegirl (logic), @TrinaMb (Charlie Brown), @Zorlone (drunk), @babyfuzz (dodge), @Jemfyr (radiant), @or1gb1u3 (headphones)
@LangleyCornwell (Cataclysmic)

Sonic Mishap

You were supposed to only analyze
demonstrate these new headphones work
an overdrawn putrid feedback mishap
a cataclysmic butterfly effect
luck fit for Charlie Brown himself
as you reel back attempting to dodge
logic failing as radiant circuits pop
systems screaming as if drunk with power
a plume of smoke as all hisses in silence
how are you going to explain this mishap?

Android Bazaar

Contrived courteous bargaining begins
dark isle of androids and hex gadgets purveyed
callous verbal bartering attenuated by a discount
seething imagery more vivid than any Rilke verse
a new domestic model makes its debut today
fatal bidding wars leave more than scars
all this and more can be found here daily
at the place known as the android bazaar

It showcases such a person at a party or event with the only intention of gaining some lead. Poem was inspired by the 13 random words (in blue) submitted today by the following twitter friends:
@buddawiggi (fish), @HollyJahangiri (diatribe), @geb0i (linoleum), @ryjr (resignedly), @Wwm_Shakespeare (curtsy), @blusol (consumption), @inab2 (sardonic), @Sakariwrites (chocolate), @AnnEvanston (champagne), @MetallmanX (jargon), @mikki_fit (outlet), @cooliphoneapps1 (maneuver), @wishinghearts (ligament)

Corruption of Power

A false curtsy and sardonic smile
people toast over chocolate and champagne
jargon of conversations a networking outlet
intentions to maneuver as plain and hard
as the linoleum floor you are standing on
those who would curse you a diatribe
a rotten fish floating in a putrid lake
resignedly realize power comes at a price
the consumption of values and ethics
a ligament that go connects the two
as power breeds corruption

[powerpress image="http://www.wandererthoughts.com/images/wandererthoughts300.jpg"]

Disagreements

Cantankerous ambiguous symbiont of despair
slurry of bristle words flying like an egret
bouncing off sanity and reason like a handball
eureka discovered when you finally accede
fantastic frustration found in ohana
a commitment of which bound by blood line
which has a majestically strong resilience
when faced with disagreements

Silent Kiss

You don’t cringe at the emerging sensation
a fortuitous obsequious paradox confusion
lethargic enigma of a drowning maple craving
like some assiduous chocolate lust
phased zoological impulses driving
you grab her by the hair playfully
an embrace to shake the pixel stars
passion flowing through mouths scupper
gratitude etched on silent faces

[powerpress image="http://www.wandererthoughts.com/images/wandererthoughts300.jpg"]

Appetizers

The beauty in this fine food
puts you into a peculiar mood

Jovial taste buds buzzing in delight
lips rhythmical in a smacking fight

The last bite has you reminiscing
taste you have always been missing

Like a chemical flavor enhancer
one that doesn’t cause cancer

A little sick twisted depravity
a trajectory involving simple gravity

Catching the piece in your mouth
it could have missed and went south

One tender morsel is all that is left
you would unfriend whomever commits this theft

The final piece ingested by you
meal consumed you then bid adieu

Last Great Battle

The great equalizer of Ragnarok
valor tested of unicorns and men alike
demons of greed and destruction besieging
blood stains grass like spilled coffee
screams twitter a harmonious intonation
exhausted as battle fatigue sets in
another ally tossed like a tumbleweed
captivated horror as his body crumbles
agog free spirits die this day
heavens reentry a last reward
at the last great battle
