Best Affixing Poems

“Branded”

The world’s smithy’s fire burns hotly
their brand is being fashioned for you to wear,
surely they know all about your “kind” you inside and out
and by affixing that brand to you they’ll swear.

Maybe you’ve come from the wrong side of town
or from parents not too smart...

The serpentine and ageless liquid
   mercurial possessed snake
eternally swallowed 
   since the beginning of time
   one unquenchable thirst to gorge and slake
slurping up an icy cold mountainous pebbly shake
   yet fresh as an irish spring

First a sigh begins the sequence 
Then pain impales my tender heart
My lips kissed with trembles quiver
And teardrops fall for worlds apart

Disenchanted by fallen expectations
A siege estrange's my view
Breached by every implication 
Want replaced substance I once knew

Lamentation's silent scream
Stripped of dignity's stoic face
About the...

When, while a father with two young girls,
ah charming children indeed
both wrapped around mine middle finger,
whose playful rebukes
this papa did heed
(who wished for a son),
he never did breed)
aplomb (fig your at Tivoli) found me

taking their fruitful lead
apple lee going bananas acceptable
mischievous behavior harmless misdeed
from this...

alas not quite my mother's hand
but for its swiftness of foot

that will neither revolutionize whorled wide web,
   nor pollinate like fecund human loam
viz - it mine neurological nuances here
   within Schwenksville, Pennsylvania,

Unsolicited, revered, and praised
potential literary fete,

MY ELEANOR

Darling, yet another day is past gone,

While we rest from the battle; losing not just one.

As the wind of pain blows round our camp,

Affixing to many hearts its bleeding stamp,

I sit, on the warm sand, gazing at the moonlight,

With thoughts glued just on you,...

High athwart global sphere
planet Earth doth app pear
tubby totally tubular as a mere
twinkling gem devoid of lesions from hare
brained schemes to exploit near

ring into all four corners   
   of terrestrial firmae orb *****
hull us wreaking indiscriminate...

Visions of the past , scenes from my boyhood
Flicker in my thoughts.
Buds of sweat drips their cold journey down my spine
As I lay entranced and entrenched upon a hillside
Waiting the timeless wait...

One’s Lesser Twin
                    by Odin Roark

Everyone’s got one
The hand that uses a mitt
To catch the ball
You know
That other fingered appendage
Whose achievements
Claim to fame
Is without celebration
Save the...
