Best Absentees Poems

In the end, we were there-not there,
two present absentees 
sharing an apartment vacated by a relationship 
and the worst kind of loneliness -- feeling solitary next to someone --
partners in the crime of abetting mutual misery,
though neither of us can really be linked 
to the...

This is how I see what has happened so far with the election. I will support whoever becomes president until they prove, by their actions, not their comments, that they don't deserve my support. God help us all; however this turns out.

Blake’s world in a grain of sand 
This plastic bottle in my hand 
Welcome to the new Fantasy Island
Of plastic trash, a brave new land

This tropical island, it's perfect for me 
Plastic parts and baggies floating on the sea
Maybe melt it down and build homes...

The Impossible love….
By: Immaculata Ortner

Your love for me is a wonderful experience,
It feels like coming to a peaceful home.
We said a lot of words to each other 
Without exchanging words, but the language of love
We fought and struggled for attention,
Like nature pushing through a dry...

"Pipeline: Hawaii's North Shore where Championship Surfing Meets are held, remains the deadliest since records began in the 60s."

Golden shores surfed duo gift essence new threshold,
History made two by sea,
Footprint holds their granule sunk traces, queues the bold,
Long woods wee came two by sea,
Boarders store...

late spring arthropods
not as things should be
many absentees
-
swallows still absent
butterflies the odd one
today a wood brown
-
azure springtime sky
should be full of life... empty
no i'm going blind
-
house sparrows chirping
heard but cannot be seen
pond water warming
-
the common garden
spider A diadematus absent
could be it is late

Non sense, non sense all non sense
Along the way criticism makes no sense
Psalms of encouraging lights
Perish beliefs across entire sites
Your neglect in tones or silence
Cast the angst onto nirvana ballots
Voodoo statements erasing rational fallacies
Was all I hear from value absentees.
System prisoners shooting silent farts
Request the...

The hazy morning filled up the atmosphere 
With the summer’s air that could not travel far.
Ode to humanity and media, a sign of nature 
Without summer sunny breeze passing there. 
A heat wave goes where the dry dew relent; 
And countless signs for loose showers...

Love Poem, 2011
V. Ortiz Vazquez


I am no slam poetry poet
No love story reside within my pencil
Strawberries, tossed salad has no residency
Smooth skin, deep breath, loud moans
Non existent
Bleeding pen draws away
The thought, idea of love making through ink
Passion flow with no identifiable destination
Taking not borrowing, lines...

When I was a child, I wondered

Was deep sleep, death?

Was every morning a new life, a new incarnation?

Waking up, I found the people around me were the same

I was the same too, nothing changed

This cannot be death I rationalized

When I came of age, I wondered

Is...

I'm raised in SoCal, calm weather agrees,
and you, from Boston, know weather, severe.
Our states of mind match these climates I fear.
Like Winter sadness, leaves fall from your trees, 
and then I'm missing those green absentees.
Like Summer, a hot flare up may appear.
The reasons are celestially...

In today’s world it’s easy to lose track of time
& otherwise get caught up in what’s going on.
So many families split up, so many loved ones
Lose track of who they are. Why they came together.
Divorcing a memory they can never truly run away from.
In today’s...
