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

Twitter Random Poem Contest For November 13th

   Posted by: dragonblogger    in Dark Poems

Today people submitted me six words and voted for a dark poem to be written. I compiled the following poem fitting together a theme from the words provided which are highlighted in blue. Let me know what you all think.

The Final Dream

Shake me from this unending dream
The voices of death echoing in my head
This turbulent sleep will cause my mind to become unscrewed
As the most dreaded of nightmares this one takes my mortality

My dream speaks of how my life will end
But is told in an obscure and circumlocutory way
I stand catering to a crowd which gazes up at me
As a mariachi who plays for an audience

Hang him they yell, crucify him they say
I cannot fathom which deed I have done
My hands our bound and my mouth is roped shut
Blades are unveiled and I will soon be cut

Give me a moment to say a quick prayer
then the heat of the knife as it singes my hair
my skin tears right open and my blood begins to spill
the crowd cheers teasingly amidst my own screams

Show him mercy they jest and I know its a lie
They throw stones and sharp glass and I lose my right eye
so I start to fall but the ropes hold me tight
this is how my life ends on this terrible night

-Poem by Dragon Blogger

Thanks to the following people for providing me the random words: @Imantion, @crimsong, @siteminder, @SurfCityJay, @Coyotesqrl, @mebanded
