Best Alt Poems


Premium Member Ctrl-Alt-Del

Self-control is the first lesson of life,
when learning to be presentable.

An alternate lifestyle 
will bring you grief,
but you are no different
in that respect.

All grieve.

Delete everything 
you should not have said
	or done.

There is a scream,
then nobody is there.

The machine shuts down
at the end.
Silence is the last friend.

Only heaven fathoms
	a blank screen....

Control, Alt, Delete

Control, Alt, Delete

If I could control life 
from some alternative universe,
I'd delete you out of it.

You try to control and manipulate others
With your alternate version of the truth,
but all you seem to manage is killing--
Killing love, killing hope, killing self-esteem
deleting all the joy that was. 

Control, Alt, Delete
Sorry, you no longer have a valid username...

Ctrl Alt Delete My Life

Shutdown, restart, blink and freeze
Why oh why can’t technology for once be a breeze?
Such simple commands, pressing start or enter
But you would think you were begging for a suntan
In the middle of winter

I rely on this pink box for writing and such
Not trying to command the world
That would be too much
But you would think I...

Premium Member Mary Had a Little Lamb - Alt Version

Mary had a little lamb.
He stepped into some soot,
and everywhere that darn lamb went
his sooty foot he put.

He followed her to school one day,
and this I must confess:
He got into the classroom
and made a dirty mess!...

Premium Member Alt Love

There is only one time when I’ll need you;
Like Ice cream doesn’t need a banana.
So, until I do, or the ice cream does,
I will be on this side of Havana....

Ctrl. Alt. Del.



Catatonic, I lie,
my emotions frozen,

specks of dust swept beyond the 
trails,

of nameless pathways that 
could not be chosen. 



Numbed, I stand,
all feeling shattered,

like dandelion seeds adrift in the 
wind,

shuffling between fragile clouds, 

pieces of my being appear 
carelessly scattered.



Yearning, I wait,
for a new day to dawn,

hustling through crooked bends,

scampering from regret to 
regret,

frantically...

Oh, God that you push Ctrl  Alt Delete
Reboot with a clean startup
New direction unto many feet
Receive living water from your cup
Defragmenting this inside cluster
Causing confusion to run slow
Not to be delayed by filibuster
Scan the files which cause harm
That one might receive their charm
Within becomes a new glow
How shall we reach these youth
Being victims of...

Premium Member Ctrl-Alt-Delete - Wtf, Lmao

When the program isn’t working like it should,
No rabbit’s foot, nor horseshoe’s gonna bring you any luck.
When the techie’s not around to make things good
Ya gotta figure out a way to get yourself unstuck.
All it takes is just three fingers, and you’re sweet:
Ctrl-Alt-Delete.

When the system won’t cooperate, oh dear,
You don’t like what you’re looking at...

That's So Alt

I was smoking 
non-menthol cigarettes 
and tying my 
threadbare new 
balance 
shoelaces 
at the corner deli 
waiting in line 
to buy more non-menthol cigarettes....

In a world of awe-inspiring wonder
We have been programmed to believe
We are the victim of a system
Giving birth to modern disease
This virus can exhaust your mind
Press ctrl alt delete
Get me out of this software

Alt Title: A Wasted 3 Months

I wish I could make you leave as fast as you arrived.
But if I could do that I would not be me.

5 days in and I knew you meant something.
10 days in and you were all that I wanted.
A month and a half in I asked on a whim.
A month and a half out I...

Travelling Alt Earth

We pull into a Winding Station,
Hand the Attendant our key,
Head into the Station Inn
For a snack and Earl Grey Tea.
In less than an hour,
Our machine being oiled
The tension being adjusted
And our spring tightly coiled,

I slip the motor into gear
And we are off on our way
To the next Winding Station
One hundred miles away.
At Fifty miles an...
