Premium Member Bright Uproar

en*L*I*G*H*T*ened babbling shocks
burst out of bubbling rocks
bright spots erupt over a smoldering landscape
(hot inflation begets Pomp & Circumlocution)

snowballs explode in a gritty paradise
yellow dust smothers moaning misfits
balloons hover over missing minds
(Look on the BRIGHT side!)

it’s simply a B*r*I*g*H*t uproar
skyscraping warriors lock & load
happily pull heat-seeking triggers
(taking out floating bull's-eyes)

Operation OMG has commenced!
guided by blowback from barreling behemoths
chasing mercurial probes flying with hypersonic ease
(gilded ghosts pierce an overheated stratosphere)

Premium Member Hypersonic Tsunami

I/you
is/am/was
a soldier of 
fortuitous (mis)fortune

a quiet
puddle 
piddling in
southerly sloth

a gnarly ghost 
galloping in 
whirling ~ twirling ~ swirling
electronic sandstorms

!---)))>>>--->>>)))---!

adrift in tortured time
submerged in 
the timeless slime of 
gaslit dumpster fires

a hypersonic tsunami
of repetitive rage
revolting within & against
a cadaverous cage

light is muted
visions are mooted
delusions get uprooted?
an unfortunate creature soldiers on

Premium Member The Wobbling Droplets

The wobbling droplets are quite happy.
Full of joy and not too shabby,
I hear them laugh.
They are promptly quaffed.

:-)~:~:~ooo~:~:~(-:

I give my wobbling droplets a shake,
and laugh until my head breaks.
They happily orbit the Earth,
looking down on us with mirth.

o/o\o|~~?~~|o/o\o

The wobbling droplets are enchanting
but they will not interfere with my ranting.
For I have more poems to eject,
that many will not hesitate to reject.
