Best Adrip Poems


Premium Member Love, the Hard Conqueror

These darts of love fly from our eyes
Adrip with passion's poisons clear and sweet,
Our aim that of another heart's defeat,
Its mute enslavement to our sighs.

Love blasts holes of unexpected size
In our defense; no wall will be respected.
The briarbarbed fence of self-content
Is breached, and trampled, with perspective.

Passion paints its fell directives
To our sniper's scoping of the front,
That field of victims fair,
To take down and devour in the hunt.

The wounds of pride will bear the brunt
Of soft assault upon stern self-control;
Desire stabs the shuddering soul
Until its thirsting edge grows blunt.

Thus we conspire to murder our sleep
While surrendering self-rule
To serve another's purpose
As captives of the deep

Dungeons of our needs, and keep
The key clutched tightly in our hand,
Afraid to lose the sweet ache of love,
Loath to let complacency sweep

Devotion from the stage, and weep
The loss of desperate, mutual need
That grows within, that intoxicant weed
Of victorious love we rush to reap.

Cowl Lix Aged Language Lover

please lemme know and honestly profess
if profusion of words create a lingual Loch Ness
(when hens canst come home to roost
   especially, encountering 
   the following conglomeration
   in matthew scott harris patois).

He readily admits writing inventive
   attempts usually ten tubby a literary mess,
thus finding innocent cyber cruisers
   Angle fishing for Saxony fundamental fluidity
   courtesy of Freudian stream of consciousness,
   gabbling gibberish, muck not done on purpose
   and certainly less
to impress.

Gnome hatter intent toward 
   cogency, fancy ingenuity,
   levity, the inevitable 
   resultant wrought gobbledygook
   fascination for Lingua Franca
   feeble endeavor splutters, splinters,
   and splatters Asia Yukon guess.

Paramour status analogous with twenty six letters,
   sans En gull Lush Mother tongue confluence
   finds me submerged (as an Arctic Monkey)
   swimmingly enervated 
   via erotic laced sentiments
   perhaps finds bravely daring soul madly
   hollering, gesticulating floundering,
   (in close proximity to Davey Jones's locker)
   to avoid drowning at sea
   perchance comprehending passionate influence.

   Upon espying a signature poem of mine
   forces one pre ponder ring lurking predilection
   tib hush anonymous re:
   dears (dares) adventuresome mettle
   taking him/her to the brainy 
   (briny) deep brink
   Icon fess

this (NON FAKE) pretense, why
   aye metaphorically express
(via medium of ordinary Anglophile
   alphabetic wanton soup,
   or figurative egg drop bub
   bling broth (el) doth brew)

   pronouns Sibyl affectation 
   affliction sans plethora,
   where each ladle full adrip with
   richly flavor Verdana Font lee
   and sincerely textured vocabulary.

   Pluperfect mortals beings undoubtedly feel
   (blindsided, how this hunger stricken author
   suffers said sesquipedalian syndrome
   particularly expectorating flashy 

   hoping tum bark on successful literary quest)
   hyper aware aspiring paperback writers wannabe
   might stoop to conquer, cheat, cadge
   vis a vis plagiarize plethora 
  amidst storied plentiful English droppings.

Rather than succumb pretense feigning paucity
   temptation to bask exultantly,
   professed glorious unrequited love
   announcing required sworn vow,
(el lye ding) avowed consonant covenant.

Dead To the World Wide Web

(any resemblance to the following and 
living persons iz purely coincidental)

Family, friends, and
     strangers didst weep
when my brutally
     murdered gagged and
     bound distended corpse
     put to eternal sleep
unbeknownst to homicide deep
pill lore hubble

     killer, said murderer,
     would sow what he did reap
on the deadly war holy jeep
purrs, cow path
     this angry ghost
effortlessly held scented rag
     to choke, a keep
sake squeezing out breath

     from my corporeal flesh
     with maggots didst creep
     still adrip when bled,
to death, now enshrouded
     in black hoodie,
     and scythe leant lee
     cackled with grateful dread
enroute to pay the

     killer man moments ago
     took hoof on
     horse back fled
in hot pursuit destination,
     albeit unknown,
     yet aye twill find
     trumpeting psychopath,
     and quickly dismember

     off with his head,
thus equipped with
     keen bloodhound find
     ding needle in hay
stack instinctive second nature
     vengeance casually,
     I hapt lee ghoul
     lucky did allay

fresh trail scented out lay
boring haphazard way
word ness after gray
beard i.e. yours
     truly he did slay
     no matter wiseacre, may
be goot headstart, said jay
bird haint gonna

     be twittering furlong,
     cuz tell trail (and tail) flay
ming signs, he didst betray
noon the wiser hoo ray
bethought to brush
     meticulously (cover) tracks
     over most likely today
will merely (and merrily delay)

this phantom of neigh (nee)
and dearth all giving away
hideout, now tis
     my turn, I didst inveigh
     asper his final "say"

perhaps with ghost to
     (gusto) hollering as no weigh
to hex press me excitement
     thrusting sword
     into his heart yay!


Wistful Accursed Penniless Fate God Dime Mitt

Wistful Accursed Penniless Fate...God Dime Mitt!
(neither defamation, nor blasphemy meant, sans Title)

Despite ingestion of
     anti anxiety medications
     ferocious hellish onslaught
     pummels me aback
finds resurgence of ghostly
     white implacable terror
inducing panic attack
cogs and wheels

of psyche frenetically
spinning alas and alack
swallowed in the un
avoid doubleheader maw
whale size amberjack
suctioned alive as dead ringer
     human master bait
     (feebly prate who GOD,

     somebody please HELP)
     doomed to die, "eye"
     doth entirely engulf me
     far worse than being slammed
     by malevolent forces
     loosed from hurricane
     classed as Category 5
on Saffir-Simpson Scale

     adrip with horrible gastric,
caustic, and acidic repulsive
bile alcoholic akin to applejack
and more rancid
than Q8 oily arrack
once again oft repeated phrase
     Death be not Proud, viz
     reincarnation of Moby Dick

     (gone terribly awry)
on the attack after ME
with no way back
to house at Pooh Corner
     condemned to spin
willfully intestate,
while steeped in utter black
but....methinks

perhaps fetid blowback
equivalent to volcanic belch, would
     spit out "burnt offerings"
     formerly Matthew Scott Harris,
     whose steaming hot pipe dream
(Ahab) in mind can not
even get "LIVE" feedback,
and definite never

my Stradivarius fiddleback
(I rue...all the money
    momma's and pappa's...
scrimped and saved 
     without giving
this sole sun any flack)...
ha...sardonic humor,
and wistful pointless flashback

equally frivolous hanker
ring for greenback,
legal tender, quid
     pro quo, et cetera,
NOW demise welcomed
     forever free from penury
small potatoes this measly mortal
even at dirt poor cheap

     expense courtesy
     Euthanasia travel agency
manned by HiJack,
where captain! My captain!

     Humungous humpback
clearly presented danger field,
     and only costs this one life
     as lil bitty chewy Whitman snack!

Ma Little Brown Chickadee

(ah miss bing amiss with former mistress)

Oh Glenda (Miz Gee gee) 
     years elapsed since, I didst hawk 
     verboten fruit adrip
from yar verdant bough,  
     thy strong craven raven 
     doth still twitter and flip

sans thy testosterone switch, 
     where woody pecker missus grip

     relationship nixed thee

     service verily org*s mic* lee quip

Egg gad unlike rob bin duck cradle 
yar mature red breast all aswirl

     yar nipples mine gums did ladle.

Only in memory, aye 
hungrily thirst and thirstily hunger 
     fort deux aureole dye 
still affecting this gab 
     bird, who didst deign 
     as milquetoast guy.

Whenever this birdman alone 
his thoughts metaphorically drone 
worm wayward toward 
     pubic thatch, where 

     hello kitty doth purr and groan
of quintessentially 
     kinky coiled hair moan
ning softly as thee 
     bared naked lady lies prone
admiring pinkish puckered 
     def flesh tone.

Consummate Exemplary Graduate Invites Kudos

Nonetheless suicidal ideations severely

ah...that dull cutlery eyed with temptation
one painful thrust hemorrhaging, whereby
carpeting permanently stained blood red,

chickened out imposing eternity of fire and
brimstone self condemnation, denunciation,

delightful, faithful indomitable laudable
achievement starkly aware how bleak and
forlorn hogtied hobbled horrid mine existence

Though Amply Rested, I Still Yawn

And feel energized after

Humbly Intrepid Jedi Leader

I aver, an auspicious dark shadow(s) will zoom
as if birthed, sans starry eyed nebulous debris
across infinite fantastic space/time catacomb
constituting whirled wide web ringing Gaia's in utero
fallopian youtube from out cosmic podcast womb

Egregious Evil Exceeds Means To Cope

bloodied fingers madly claw 
caskets hermetically sealed 
   bullet riddled bodies crazily didst draw
triggered bloodshed tsunami, 

   where logic insists there must be a flaw 
precious priceless proud loved ones demise 
   festers "stunned disbelief" to gnaw
perhaps shell shocked next of kin 

   utter primal wails resemble distorted hee haw
lifeless loved ones alive just moments ago, 
   these special darlings (dozen plus youth) 
   premature death deprived 

   never delight one or more in-law
whereat deceased brides and grooms 
   denied pledging troth 
   from permanently stilled jaw,

while bereaved 
   inconsolably cry deafeningly, drenching 
   cloths cupping raw cheeks, 
   a cruel prank sans burden thrust upon a maw
(whose womb once housed 
   forever lifeless son or daughter),
rigor mortis out buzzfeeds Stihl chain saw 

shrieking, how, 
   this "NON FAKE" living nightmare 
cast an excruciating pall,
   whence diabolic demons lear
into the opened seam, 

   where under a sheltering sky Gaia doth hear
the deafening lament against 
   a cool, calm and collected 
   frenzied maniac whose flare
ring nostrils adrip with rage 

   exchanged slugs of lead for dear
lee departed souls, 
   where dark clouds may never clear
as the living suffer horrendous psychic hemorrhage
   agonizingly bid their own 
   flesh and blood affixed atop a bier.

Hyde Bound Fiend Waged Ominous War

This misanthrope lived
     most all his life alone,
yet upon awakening
     this very early morn,
     mine eyes saw me prone
naked body adrip atop
     blood soaked sheets,
     that glommed to mine

     lacerated flesh and shone
deep red as moonlight seeped
     thru chink in the stone wall,
     nothing else stirred 
     'cept myself abed,
     but sinew and bone
suddenly alarmed
     what demon slashed 

     into red ribbons,
     whence fright suddenly,
     I choked, gasped,
     and loosed a groan
upon e'en the slightest movement
     found me to moan
with excruciating pain,
     while in thine head

     did sinister demon fueled,
     a wounded pained animal groan
maniacal cackling gradually
     increasing to an ear piercing,
     hounding and deafening tone,
whence hands attempted
     to clap away
     evil frightful shrill

     ne'er heard nor known
afore this nightmarish scene
capped when nine inch nails
     caked with thick
     dried blood shown
in the dim light affixed
     to monster sized brown
paws not my own,

yet latched to this
     gruesome near slain
     (bodily heap of mine)
     ogre haunted nemesis over blown
     sanity, and frightfully unknown

as like an accursed beast
     methought hie got catapulted
     to the outer limits
     of the twilight zone.

Premium Member envy her

Early sun
slips her hands through
   the fleeing clouds
as a soggy   wet world
   shakes off  her raindrops
of yesterday.

As I,
adrip  with too many  yesterdays
   of weeping   raindrop tears,
I watch  and I envy her
   she   who be free
of yesterday.  

I do so envy her   
that sun of   emergent day
  always   forgetting 
yesterday’s   storms
  deserted in predawn   dark,
Carrying  no diary
   no history of  days walked
   dropping that load
into each day’s  sunset.

I watch and I envy her.
she  who be free
of yesterday.
