Centuries of creations,
a bravura of celestial fireworks,
masterstrokes exploited,
tides of events vying between
gelid cold or searing hot.
Mountains grew, valleys sunk
oceans divided and storms struck.
Dust, sand, dunes, soil, decomposition.
Then came life!
All was controlled and peaceful,
for God created all things good.
Alas, it was the calm before the storm,
for after man was born
all hell broke loose
And deadly fireworks never ceased.
Kinda lost it today, so the truth be out
Totally love you, of that there's no doubt
Passion overtook me, my emotions broke free
Out came my craving my craving for thee
It tests my restrain for ultimate endurance
Was doing quite well till this recent occurrence
All hell broke loose, and I lost my composure
Feelings took over showing total exposure
Can't live without you, I'm yours heart and soul
I submit to your charms, I've lost all control
Until that moment my restraint must remain
Although I will suffer this unbearable pain
Well worth the wait, of that there's no doubt
Until it happens my poor heart will pout
Have always been able to show great restraint
But my craving belies this sweet picture I paint
So when somebody asks me if I'm feeling okay
I'll pretend things are normal but long for that day
All hell broke loose, when Jerry ran into John at the Paradise Pizza Shoppe
She was a strong women,
she could bench press 200 Ibs.
We drifted apart
I heard she got into female sumo wrestling,
that should have been a red flag.
We still corresponded on Facebook.
When she changed her name to Butch,
and her preferred pro-noun to Z.
I thought it may have been just me
she was pranking.
Then one night we met by chance
in the same pub.
Tats, nose bolt and red crew-cut,
her I mean, not I.
All hell broke loose
when a tough looking drunk
wolf whistled her.
Fists flew, bloody mayhem erupted.
The guy has since transgendered -
They are now dating.
An Angel's Face
There she was, lost between starched white sheets
feeding tubes inserted heart monitors in place
The family was outside in the hallway praying
while mom held her hand and sang to her
Then in the softness of a whispered prayerful hour
the machine began to beep and all hell broke loose
Doctors and nurses rushed to her side, stark sober
as a dying child left, mom staggered a cry "please "
Paddles were set in place as everyone prayed
not a sound was uttered from our lips as we waited
Meanwhile in heaven the peek of an angel's face
brought down a house of angels as the heart stopped
There she lay tangled up between life and death
one filament chord detached and up she went
When she saw her mother's tears , she returned
with all the courage one could muster,
She squeezed back into her broken body,
and lived....
I liked her; she was a strong women,
she could bench press 200 Ibs.
We drifted apart
I heard she got into female sumo wrestling,
I guess that should have been a red flag.
We still corresponded on Facebook.
When she changed her name to Butch
and her preferred pro-noun to Z,
I thought it may have been just me
she was pranking.
Then one night we met by chance
In the same pub.
Tats, nose bolt and red crew-cut,
her I, mean not I.
All hell broke loose
when a tough looking drunk
wolf whistled her.
Fists flew and bloody mayhem erupted.
The guy has since transgendered -
he’s now a right pussy
and their dating.
programmed my 3d printer to build a cosmos ~ then all hell broke loose
by David Kavanagh
He was off again managing
Someone else’s chaos
when she stood looking up
at impossible elegance,
rounded into ruby perfection,
dangling from the twisted branches.
There’s a pull from the forbidden
that’s hard to deny.
She knew the moment he
told her “No,” she wouldn’t listen.
Her entire existence was mysterious,
vague, and purposeless--
fashioned from leftovers.
What’s she here for anyway?
To clean up after him?
Fix their dinner? Wash the dishes?
He is off conquering beasts,
like some god.
She remains an accessory.
Nothing stirs up rebellion
quite like the feeling
of being powerless.
That’s when another guy came
sliding over to her,
alluring in his phallic majesty,
dark eyes acknowledging her own,
whispering she could be anything.
Seduced by curiosity, she reached up.
This is when all hell broke loose.
Pandora’s box spilled with the juice
dribbling down her chin.
Blood, agony, and death
escorted by knowledge,
potency, and power.
Her defiance would punish
her daughters.
It would also empower them.
Three convenience store employees thought what they did was funny but I think it was cruel.
Those three people said that I won a thirty million dollar lottery and then yelled "April Fool".
They sold me a fake lottery ticket with the winning numbers.
They started laughing and said that a person couldn't be any dumber.
For a few minutes, they tricked me into thinking that I was a rich man.
I thought that I could drive a Rolls Royce and throw away my minivan.
When those idiots yelled "April Fool", all hell broke loose.
They thought it was funny and didn't expect such abuse.
I beat the hell out of all three of them and they made loud thuds when they fell.
I'm as poor as I ever was and now I will be spending the next year or two in jail.
I'm in a lot of trouble, I also broke some other things in addition to breaking the law.
When I repeatedly punched those convenience store clerks, I broke their ribs and jaws.
My obese mother-in-law just yelled "April Fool" after saying that she was going to pay my bail.
I just knocked her on her bloated butt so now I guess I'll be spending even more time in jail.
dreary evening falls on the block
where the careworn gal lies on her couch
in front of a blinking screen she's bored
when a shadow quickly flies outside
first she thought it's nothing special
her eyes so tired, not interested
but second shadow missed the window
and Laura stood in the room in fuss
neighbourhood was quiet and bleak
wind in the streets once strong once weak
when again, right past her window
a shadow of a man flew down
all of a sudden, all hell broke loose
men and women, boys and girls
writhing and kicking through the air
just a few seconds, down to the ground
frail and confused she opened the window
bodies still hitting the dead lawn below
crawled on the windowsill, for a better look
she lost her balance - quick joined the show
The days before Christmas
It was about two days before Christmas.And dad was hanging the lights on the roof.
Things were going just great at the time. When all hell broke loose.
Dad he fell through the roof. And broke both his legs.
The doctor told him it would be six weeks before he could come home.
Mom was at the mall buying last min gifts. When she fell on the ice and broke her arm.
I found myself in the kitchen making pies for Christmas dinner.When the cat jumps on the table.
And ate the pie fillings.
I went to turn on the tree lights. When a light blew out and caught the tree on fire.
And burnt house down.
The neighbors they brought us food to eat. It was pizza and wings.Because the dog took the turkey.
It was all gone.
At the hotel I step out to go to the store. But when I return our gifts was gone.
The police when they left said "Merry Christmas to you have a good night".
My reply to the best I could was Ba humbug to Christmas I believe in the Easter bunny.
Oh I thank heavens they're all gone now
My perfect holiday dinner, yet somehow
I managed to shut my mouth ever tight
When all hell broke loose Christmas night!
"This turkey is tough," I heard them all say
It's important I smile in a ladylike way
"Oh and did you hear that our Laura is gay
and Bonnie announced she's pregnant today!"
"Bill's running around on wife number three
he marries for money but none does he see!"
The kids they keep tossing their toys at the door
and their mother just sits, pretends to ignore.
Like I said they're all gone and I'm grateful indeed
Should you choose to host Christmas beware take heed
You'll not be appreciated not even an ounce
and all the freeloaders upon you will pounce...
But this is my last holiday greeting to host
Of this I am sure and most anxious to boast...
NOW STOP! Who is that? knocking on my door?
No you can't come in! You're placed on ignore!
open up let us in.....
you must be crazy...
get thehelloutta here.....
6/19/15
It was, I really must admit, with quite some trepidation
I braced myself and stepped up to the vacant self-serve station.
Placed my bag in readiness to save having to lift it
but a female robot voice boomed out and made me go and shift it.
After that it beeped and flashed as everything got scanned,
all items being packed away exactly as I'd planned.
Until I moved my shopping bag for another I'd be using
then 'Red Alert!' all hell broke loose,
the staff all stared, accusing.
Enough's enough- abandon ship, why let this thing unnerve me?
I'm off to find a corner shop, and let a human serve me.
llllllllllllllllll
Uncle Peacock was a cock of the walk
Chucked his job to camp in a bivouac
He met Charles Lee Ray
Who sprayed pepper spray
All hell broke loose, Cock, a real out of whack

YOU CAN'T TAKE BLOOD FROM AN ICE CREAM CONE
This morning the sky revealed blood from the sun
and a bandage on the moon
peter the pacifist picked up a gun
and all hell broke loose in the afternoon
this morning a raccoon raced a deer to the trash
the raccoon wily, the deer delicate as a dance
this morning the sky woke up with a rash
and one stubborn star decided to take a chance
it tried to outshine the sun and shine past ten
that obstinate star just wouldn't surrender
it had to dim but no one knew where or when
while a rhododendron had a revelation to render
the bush told of war and how it could end
it knew because it was of a special breed
all the seeds became a beautiful blend
and every human being found out the sun really can bleed
