Thanks to my 9 twitter followers who submitted the words (in blue) today:

@SurfCityJay (cold), @coyotesqrl (scripture), @coach_gold (treasure), @jollything (owner), @Miragi (serendipity), @Heleanora (masticate), @StarMars (lost), @mebanded (Marigold), @jamiain (windy)

Owner Of Souls

There he sits, the owner of souls
Surrounded by flames with a heart so cold
The scripture warns of his great tricks
No treasure found could be worth such a price

Yet serendipity shall never be his
Torment found always in his shame
Peace for his heart may be all he seeks
For his predicament, only he is to blame

Blood colored marigolds grow in fields of fire
Smoke and spirits wander in despair
Souls who have lost their way
Fly through the windy hellish planes

The owner of souls shall masticate on your dreams
For if he shall have none, why should you?
Many more have tried before you
To escape this hellish destiny

His patience is eternal
And so he waits….

@DavidMercury (frustrated), @BlazingMinds (accident), @SurfCityJay (bubbly), @wizzardsblog (exfoliation), @coyotesqrl (growled), @azredneck (globel), @SJohnson85 (Organizational)

The Fallen Company

A bubbly moment popped by accident they say
Exfoliation of my happiness
I growled, frustrated and angry
Bitterness filled my heart

Organizational skills were not enough
Stocks tumbling around us
Worth millions yesterday
Pennies mere hours later

Go global they said
Extend shares they said
Risky investments they said
Piss on them, now my head hangs

I sit here on top
A fallen company crumbles beneath me
Honor found in silence
My final act of Seppuku

@MalindaBlue (gratitude), @Sweetnote (renaissance), @jamiain (whiny), @jollything (biscuit), @Miragi (sapphire), @coyotesqrl (survive), @benjphoto (paraclete), @BlazingMinds (hippo), @chercroppin23 (please), @wizzardsblog (bimbling), @lejonprime (cryptic), @SurfCityJay (blue)

This poem is about magic and entertainment as an illusionist wows the audience, the word renaissance really triggered the theme for this poem for me. What do you all think of today’s random twitter poem?

The Illusionist

Wearing deep sapphire robes with emerald trim
A man straight from the renaissance stands tall
His elegance and appearance all neat and prim
Flowing over his right shoulder a cryptic golden shawl

“Silence please” he calls to his fans
Young whiny kids all hush down
Amazing dexterity as he moves his hands
Pulling flowers from air, amazing the town

A biscuit turned into an apple, a magical feat
A trick so spectacular did, it invoke the paraclete?
No bimbling performance given this night
As the next trick was quite an amazing sight

Did we just see a table transfigured into a hippo
And blue fire spouting from fingertips as if from a zippo
Locked in chains and held in water trying to wrestle free
How he managed to survive and escape just baffles me

Amazing was that one final act designed to entertain
Some would have considered the illusionist insane
The illusionists gratitude to the people is clear
As the audience stands up casting shouts and cheer

@Sweetnote (penance), @lejonprime (Victuals), @azredneck (blender), @DavidMercury (windmill), @infohwyman (formulate), @chercroppin23 (friendship), @WebBetty (blustery), @jollything (scream), @darksaturn7 (bambi), @wizzardsblog (statistical), @SurfCityJay (project)

The Fallen Windmill

Scream of the wind howling in your ears
A friendship forged between cloud and sky
The windmill stands, a blender of air
Sensing something dangerous about to occur
Trying to formulate conclusions on what happens next

Suddenly struck with a brilliant flash
As if it were victuals for the energy beast
Blustery sound deafening for miles
Stone and steel buckle and fall
Penance paid for stirring the sky

Lightning strikes, it is a statistical fact
Yet as the crumbled ruined structure falls
A deer resembling Bambi scurries away from falling rock
An ancient construction project comes to an end
A sigh escapes your lips as you just watch

I started to see the words fit into the poem to describe kids at play and I just started writing. This poem is the result. Thanks to the following twitter friends who send me the random words (in blue):

@WebBetty (reprehensible), @DavidMercury (flourish), @wizzardsblog (merlot), @coyotesqrl (luxuriate), @Jan_Geronimo (sandbox), @MesaAzHomes (plethora), @kar314 (snowflake), @Miragi (orgasmic), @or1gb1u3 (monkey), @Dr_Dalek (eviscerate), @blm03 (excited), @SurfCityJay (usability), @darksaturn7 (parachute)

Winter Child’s Play

Playground seeming magical and enchanting to all
Excited kids luxuriate in this constant snowfall

A snowflake falling and caught by a tongue
Orgasmic screams heard, from children so young

Merlot colored truck burrowing through snow
Aura of laughter creating a surreal glow

Sandbox covered in powdered white stars
Glove wearing hands swinging from monkey bars

A fake sword from its scabbard released
To eviscerate some unseen imaginary beast

A plethora of games and creative creations
The wonder of many children’s imaginations

A frozen swing whose usability should be in question
Kids jumping off with their comical parachute impressions

The only reprehensible act an occasional snow ball
Nothing mean enough that would lead to a brawl

Laughter will flourish for many more hours
Then all will go home and take nice hot showers

@reginasuniverse (defiance), @wkossen (Wacko), @SurfCityJay (resume), @coyotesqrl (deviant), @jamiain (pickled), @uzziemom (sad), @Jan_Geronimo (thighs), @VOTS_Roads (spring), @BlazingMinds (inbox), @wizzardsblog (miniscule)

Prisoner

The unfathomable sad and simple truth
Held in containment like a pickled egg
Against your will shackled to a bed
Torture only to resume time and time again
By a twisted deviant wacko with a sadistic game
Scars marking your thighs like vicious trophies

Rising in defiance for the last time
You spring into action against this monster
Elbow striking your assailants throat
Knee finding a home in its belly
Your onslaught unrelenting your intent is clear
Kill or be forced to endure this endless cycle

Striking your fists more times than spam in an email inbox
Miniscule droplets of blood splattering the wall and floor
Your attackers face an unrecognizable pulp in moments
Your fingers wrap around its throat in one final gesture
A lifeless struggle and your heart lifts
Keys found and chains drop to the ground

You have fought and become free

@coyotesqrl (valley), @Dr_Dalek (lattice), @lejonprime (churn), @azredneck (deer), @Jan_Geronimo (butcher), @reginasuniverse (optimistic), @jamiain (annoying), @howelegant (Pontification), @Miragi (vapid)

The Butcher And The Baker

Carving meat from a fresh caught deer
A simple butcher who lives quite near

To a beautiful baker down the street
Whom he has always wanted to meet

Feeling optimistic that today is his day
Over to her bakery he decides to make his way

He steps through the door, feeling very shy
While she works finishing lattice topping on a pie

It starts with a greeting followed by small talk
Then later that evening the take a brisk walk

At first he thought she might find him annoying
But his company he learned, she was enjoying

Soon dividing his time between his butcher shop
And taking time to help her churn butter on top

Some people gossip about them with pontification
Others look upon the new couple with simple adoration

He brought forth all the courage he can muster
Now his life no longer vapid and lacking luster

In this valley town now, just down this simple street
Happiness is theirs both and their lives feel complete

@coyotesqrl (quandry), @NetNutt (kangaroo), @KcWebGeeks (snarfblat), @SurfCityJay (relief), @lejonprime (retrospective), @BlazingMinds (collections), @azredneck (black), @Yochanan (master), @bingkaycoy (unequivocal)

Heart Of A Hero

Walking down the busy city streets late one summer night
A woman wearing black heels in a dress of pure white

I bore witness to something so startling and vile
A situation ensued one that was most hostile

A man attacks her in front of me, barely thirty yards away
A knife in his left hand the blade flashes gray

The quandry before me leaves me little time to act
A weapon to harass or defend myself, I sorely lacked

In my head the sharp trumpeting sound of a little snarfblat
Mind screaming DO SOMETHING, oh how I wished for a bat

My heart pounding like a kangaroo jumping in my chest
I had to do something, I had never felt more stressed

Lunging at the assailant my briefcase as my shield
The knife lodges and sticks, my attacker reeled

With the skill and grace of a boxing master
I struck blow after blow faster and faster

My nerves were shot and my body shaking
Stomach queasy and my knuckles were aching

Relief filled her eyes, her expression told all
No need for thanks I blurt out as I leaned on a wall

Accepting no collections for my assistance
I refused any payment despite her insistence

She stood by my side, the police came shortly thereafter
I explained the situation followed up with some nervous laughter

In retrospective thought there was an unequivocal truth
I had the heart of a hero and this was my proof

@coyotesqrl (kilt), @BlazingMinds (visa), @summerbreeze80 (salutations), @rockalong (stellar), @wizzardsblog (embrocation), @Miragi (inebriated), @SurfCityJay (production), @antiago (stygian), @reluctantaqua (running), @danielklotz (press), @billnega (rotund), @blm03 (pray), @azredneck (wonderful)

Cruise Past The Past

Off to an ancient and mythical land
Luggage in tow, carrying visa in hand
Mountainous scapes and lush green valleys
Boarding the ship you head straight to the galleys

Intentions are clear and your mood is stellar
First to get inebriated with wine from the cellar
As if healing past stress via embrocation
Looking forward to this great vacation

The engines startup, are off and running
Looking out the balcony the view is stunning
The ship leaves the harbor, crew at their stations
Crew members providing their last salutations

Hours pass as the waves press by
An ocean so blue it mirrors the sky
Quite the production; A rotund fish swimming in a school
A sight of living art that leaves you speechless, just too cool

Ireland a place of majesty and grace
No Stygian waters in this wonderful place
Where men don’t have to feel any guilt
About wearing a skirt they call a kilt

You pray that this trip doesn’t end too fast
A blessed trip one to help heal the past
This was just what you needed, it seems so clear
You think to yourself as you wipe away a tear

Todays twitter poem came together quite unexpectedly and turned into a creative poem about a person whose job is to track sharks.  I was thinking of Discovery Channel and Shark Hunters when I wrote the poem which consisted of 10 random words (in blue) from the following followers:

@coyotesqrl (ferocious), @SurfCityJay (job), @danielklotz (cable), @blm03 (cold), @wizzardsblog (yoda), @BlazingMinds (industry), @shaboom (plums), @Dr_Dalek (wasteland), @rockalong (zeal), @summerbreeze80 (expropriator)

Tagging The Shark

Diving off the ship with nerves of steel
His task at hand and done with zeal
The ocean water he was about to feel

The vast blue sea so very grand
The furthest thing from a wasteland
There he spotted his target just as planned

Still holding the cable line
A cold chill running up his spine
Just when he thought he would be fine

A ferocious beast of fin and teeth
That swam under him, just beneath
Chum floating around him like a wreath

Simply a job, just tag and run
Terror swept over him as he aimed his gun
Icy cold waters, his nerves nearly undone

This industry is like no other you would concur
Hoping for calm like Yoda the Jedi master
To avoid what could be a huge disaster

Little darts shot through the dark
Finding the path to their mark
The dorsal fin of the great white shark

They were amazingly accurate shots
Hitting exactly the right spots
The color of plums little rubber dots

As if the monster were an expropriator
His life almost taken for being an invader
He would board the ship sooner or later

Tagging sharks is scary and dangerous work
He tugs on the cable then with a jerk
But the scenery and wonder is quite a perk
