Parenting Troubles is a poem about a parent who was resting or meditating only to be disturbed by children fighting and punishing the kids. This poem was inspired by my own life (joking, I think) and by the 17 random words (in blue) provided below:
@Piratelover22 (meditation), @blusol (grounded), @anefallarme (frustrated), @Zorlone (pandemonium), @TrinaMb (finally), @miriella (ecstatic), @jmbuckingham (longing), @JessicaGottlieb (shot), @Karee13 (vestal), @inab2 (dialectic), @shonie1966 (fallen), @AnnEvanston (disruptive), @purple_froggy (cast), @mikki_fit (theocracy), @KathrynVercillo (returning), @RemBeatZ (conjugated), @Jemfyr (bergamot)

Parenting Troubles

Frustrated, longing for peace and quiet
disruptive pandemonium draining sanity
ecstatic play turning into a raging battle
dialectic questioning spurs only retaliatory remarks
no vestal theocracy could decipher who started it
a sharp vicious glance shot, silencing the shouting
fallen behavior not tolerated, justice is metered
conjugated punishments cast, children are grounded
you then enter your bergamot oil scented chamber
finally returning to a state of meditation

03 Nov 2009

Reunited is a poem about losing a loved one and having memories to hold onto until you can be reunited. This poem was inpired by the 9 words provided (in blue) by the following twitter followers:
@LangleyCornwell (pesky), @ryjr (ullage), @shonie1966 (Orion), @mcaliban (resurrect), @daNanner (late), @MzFuller8 (bacon), @filigreegirl (Lavaliere), @IntegralChaotic (sublimate), @coffeetablepoet (hierarchy)

Reunited

Just another late star next to pesky Orion
to resurrect love and faith, to guide me
hierarchy of the heavens beyond my reach
my near hollow soul a wasting ullage
this lavaliere, a last cherished gift
small token to sublimate my dark thoughts
tears well in my eyes thick and greasy
like bacon grease clinging to a drain
when will we be reunited at last?

twitter poems
02 Nov 2009

Today’s poem is about a performer, I was imagining a Juggler who was maybe juggling vials of toxic mercury or some other chemical only to have a mishap. It was inspired by the 10 random words (in blue) provided by the following twitter followers:
@WorkingLori (austere), @mcaliban (enhance), @mikki_fit (ardent), @writingnag (gaudy), @JenaIsle (chelation), @Piratelover22 (Faith), @Zorlone (error), @purple_froggy (hospital), @rockalong (zenith), @wwwPoet (ambidextrous)

In Recovery

It was only faith guiding me now
ardent fear and dread present
a gaudy hospital bed my own

An error in judgment perhaps?
a performer who reached my zenith
just trying to enhance my show

Austere ambidextrous trick gone wrong
chelation my only reward
lying here in recovery

a scorpion come to sting us all
as we watch the fatal eclipse

Trick or Treat

A happy goblin with a sausage nose
haunted pirates putting on clever shows

Compilation of costumed kids lurking about
looting candy and money on a neighborhood route

A scientist who might study nephelometry
an acumen trickster stops, giggling with glee

A ghost who is no illusion this night
spinning and whirling out in plain sight

A superhero whose eye rays can split deuterium
or a Hulk who can punch through solid titanium

A girl collects another handful of bubble gum
Holiday euphoria and both kids and adults succumb

Every last fragment of candy scoured at last
another Halloween night has finally passed
