Best Bloc Poems


Apples On Our Rock

There once reigned a great king on our Rock
Who dared the West and defied their bloc
Dark shades, face of a frown
Short brute so wanted down
Down, oriental appples on our Rock.

Premium Member I Cannot Indulge the Ignorant

ignoring ignorance annoys the ignorant ~ indulge them?  I can't

same old redundant story ~ on a soap box for an ounce of glory

too much of the same old chatter ~ spewed from the mouth of a Mad Hatter

Alice will gladly pet the Cheshire Cat ~ if it'd make him chase a rat

to all en bloc, don't swallow that drink ~ write your own poetry with ink

Premium Member Dauntless

“Put on the dauntless spirit of resolution”. ~ By William Shakespeare
 
Meet this dweller of the icy continent
Among the few, he is the chief occupant
Out in that territory, it is freezing cold
With nothing but a sea of whiteness to behold
In this far stretching desert of ice
Live the emperor penguins wise
They are birds erect, not designed for flight
Neatly dressed in suits of black and white
They remind us of nuns dressed in white 
With hoods in black and souls contrite

The penguins thrive in snow and sleet
That to them is never an easy feat
 Over the ice they smoothly waddle
And in water with flippers, they paddle

Strangely, it is in the peak of winter they breed
When nature goes scarce with food to feed
After a period of intimate courtship
Into responsible parenthood they slip
The female lays a single egg
Never one more, even if we beg
Right away she goes on a feeding spree
Appointing her husband as designee
To guard over the egg and keep close watch
Until the young one is ripe to hatch

Do you know how it incubates the egg?
He balances it on the feet of his leg

Till the young one is out, he refuses to eat or drink
A rare sacrifice of which we can hardly think
In this period, he thrives solely on body fat
And in course, he loses half his weight
At last, from the egg, when the chick is out
It is not allowed to go to the ice direct
But is locked inside the parent’s brood pouch
Where the little one feels comfy as on a couch
If it ever dares to venture out
It will freeze to death, no doubt

The emperors thus live on the razor edge of life
And their lives with challenges are rife
Yet with dauntless resolution, they face their fate
And against all adversities, their life they celebrate
With their densely packed layers of plumage
They keep their bodies from serious damage
When comes the blasting breath of the blizzards
As a precaution to skim over the hazards,
From their territories, they rally en bloc together 
Huddling tight for warmth in the biting weather

 Don’t you think the penguin is an emperor
 Who subdues his hostile territory with prudent care?
 A longer version of the bird’s dauntless endeavor is our life
 An arduous climb through perils, pain and strife!


As the Vultures Gather To Suck Beautiful Venezuela Dry

now that Chavez is dead,
the american oil companies
chomping at the bit
begin to salivate & lick their lips,
seething
with the foam
of potent country-gutting
rabies---
for while he was alive,
Venezuela was one of the only
countries left, 
who resisted the empire’s attempts to
penetrate it & whore it out to the
highest capitalist bidder---
with Chavez dead,
not only will the oil soon be drained from 
within the borders of beautiful
Venezuela,
but so will die the social programs that Chavez 
instilled,
those that had been used to combat the
extreme poverty which exists in the country,
those that the governments before Chavez did nothing to 
prevent.

so goes Chavez,
so goes a bastion of anti-empire,
so goes a man who pushed Chomsky’s work at the
United Nations,
so goes a man who championed the bloc that
would resist the swallowing up of 
Latin America by the
empire.

yes,
the vultures are hungry,
they are perched & ready---
rather than create green alternatives to the
reliance on oil,
they will suck every last drop &
make the world do their bidding,
creating a negative media firestorm
to shed hate upon a man who can no longer
defend himself,
just as they will the next who steps up to resist.

Winners and Losers

False promises and bold faced lies
			From leaders we call men,
			Too foolish, vain and unwise
			It’s the election blues again.

			Feign to believe the web they weave
			With patient ears we listen,
			Future balanced if they achieve
			From deceitful eyes teeth glisten.

			In principle, fate is our blame
			Yet in our selfish pride,
			Our judgment shadows woeful shame
			Behind scapegoats fail to hide.

			Ballot fiends they all may be
			Watching poll numbers, plus or minus three,
			What will their victory bring to me
			After January twenty-three.
		
			Subsidized youth sports, gun control
			Child care dollars galore,
			A policy a day, and truth be told
			Campaign gifts are a chore.

			What matters East-West-South ‘n North
			Is that we get it right,
			While opponents bicker back and forth
			By cable, bus or flight.

			Success depends on unity
			Without it we’re a wreck,
			While one side suffers mutiny
			The Grits give Tories heck.

			The separatist Bloc` says “Let us go”
			Demanding sovereign freedom,
			White margarine and one-tongued-signs
			Does Canada really need them.

			The answer is, quite simply, oui`
			We cannot tear apart,
			Instead, honor all with dignity
			And make a brand new start.

			While men debate with pointed fingers
			On issues big or small,
			Our neighbor’s fear of terror lingers
			With plans to build a wall.

			Five billion they shall not relinquish
			While bring East to peace,
			Infernal war fires ne’r extinguish
			Diplomacy for lease.

			Denying partnership in war
			To Iraq we didn’t go,
			And up in space where eagles soar
			Again we said “Oh no”.

			Canada is not the States
			Their future is not ours,
			While Bush comments on us, berates
			His future quickly sours.

			When we look back upon these days
			In golden years of life,
			Will mirrored lakes obscure with haze
			Too thick for sharpened knife.

			Or does the future hold great treasure
			For Canadians, one and all,
			With strength and courage beyond measure
			Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall.

			Like years before, each voter chooses
			With hopes and dreams of change and glory,
			But in the end there’s winners and losers
			Different writer, same old story.

October Bliss

I am sick of eating those huge orange gourds cooked in pies -
And my little garden is choc-a-bloc with pumpkins this year;
But when carved out, they are the talk of the whole neighbourhood.

A Puzzling Poetic Tattoo Thanking You Nyla Alisia Ward

Nurturing poets to produce.
My motivational, poetical writing, spoken wordress muse.
In leading me to the speak easy cafe site.
To cause me initiating rites to write.
I am tattooing you.
These lines of poetry view.
Her medicine- just write- she administers like a poetic prescription
A writers treatment for bloc- no pre, nor post, just non existing that's her description
For tempting and hooking me back to my addiction.
Surprise! tattooeterized your name in this rendition.
U indelible watch within the ink.
A grateful gratitude laid you in this piece.
Cocked a pen - sprayed you like i shot a glock.
Your names bleeding- piercing lines-so i unlock this puzzling poetic tattoo thanking you.

COPLA 92 INVOCATION : This Bad Guy World

Is authority an entity
On its own or individual
Spiritual

Or is it en bloc bound by duty
A super individual
With no equal

Or composed of individuals
With their own fates and destinies
Tearing apart

All fed by powered victuals
Serving no higher Almighties :
Ships without port

Sweet Just the Way I Like It

Sweet Just the Way I Like It

you're a genius she moaned
there can only be so much money in circulation
he replied halfheartedly fingering her abacus
the moon arose sharp as a razor
and they set about creating a dynasty
a master race of thumb sucking idiots
that arose from the dead at midnight
with pretensions of divine right
she was a plump desert highway waitress
with a mile of sunny cleavage 
a beckoning oasis of hope 
to every butt sore trucker
he was a cadre from the Cro Magnon bloc
raised by the Sisters of Inchoate Ire
in a constant din of prayer
a model of pedagogical endurance
a time of war ravaged the land
the grip of the Dept. of Antiquities was strong
wizards made the oceans boil
mystics buskered the street corners
will work for the contemplation of food
a few actually knew something
but in practice were a bit too bent 
by the wind blinded by repetition
to be true in the rigorous mortis sense 
nothing to be done except perhaps
another detached from reality ******
now that the past was in hot pursuit
but the leibensborn are clever
and they were smuggled to safety 
in boxes of radio parts
he picked up the Bardic Hour
on the Welsh Luftwaffe Network
she was wired to the 220 dryer circuit
and clicked through the channels
Gamble for Your Soul followed by
Ladies of Leisure followed by
Nearly Inaudible the game show
which asked the same question 
if the picture is perfect is it changeable
this is how they ineluctably became
the enemy of both sides
the rim shots were deafening
but histrionics had worked in the past 
you'd think we were defending against death
rather than a better data set
so it is with surface addiction
a searching modern art piece

The Inception of Love

Remember, centuries ago we met
I'th' glorious garden of a hillock.
Then the morose sun was about to set,
And euphoric birds were flying en bloc.

Yonder the crimson streaks reddened the clime
And thy visage adorned with unfurled love—
Strange and secluded beauty hard to mime
E'en by the variegated sky above.

The red river paled into a black brook
As our silhouettes made love to small stars—
A nonpareil nocturne from warblers’ nook
Let in it our conflux of hearts immerse.

The quaint queen of night made thy meek hair shine,
Till my famished lips coalesced with thine.

Regal In Me

Regal in me

As a puppet strung in a rope
I remained tying with my bloc
Ever since I opened eyes and 
Knew something with laugh
Regality soaked me as a morning loaf

As other I was said to follow with hard
To be gentle boy bearing 5 kilo load
Wept tightly aborting their alert
I remained failed in my regal

Sincere morality duties and obligations 
I cultured lot of bore as herbs in horticulture
Still I bore a lot of pain in my reign
Remembering how to overcome modern regal

Those heavy awful teachings of others 
Always perform to the effect of jet culture
Fly over the sky at tight right
Otherwise fall and sink in sea deep to die

Regal in me awakened more or less in life
Vertical horizontal diagonal fly
A kiss in the dream some time only freed me
I am the monarch in my blew regal

Classical test modernized facial 
Removed hairs from thighs and hide
Very critical to accept with fair darling
In reality I am failure to digest in my regal

Matter of cosmos and let fly thought their 
Sometime geared up high high in the bright sky
Ultimately downfall from there with great havoc to die
I never boarded in super jet fly

I invented a master plan for me to reign
Let standing myself  in the monarch dream
A treat of tasteful opportunity,
If I stood first in the competition to win.

I remember redden face of lass
If she happened to raise rim of frock calf high
These days in my realm I need to bear 
Two parallel mounds attract the eyes.

Stalemate

"Stalemate"



Words mean nothing
to me when the 
sky is sucked out
from the lungs 
of people 
dying daily

where do I 
put my love
when cities 
are dying 
lucid writing disappears
vacant, lost, dead

war orphans 
stolen children
the beautiful 
innocence torn 
to pieces, parents
buried bloody

Stalemate

tear stained 
souls stand up
fierce ghosts 
arms holding guns
praying their 
beautiful poems 

glory 
like a river runs

all my stories
are empty

lines of 
murderous
crows 
black shadows
sentences
locked 

bullets 
shoot the full stops

stalemate

waiting 
in the 
impossible place
another 
Progressive Bloc
manifesting amnesty

watching 
the sky fall
under 
mushroom clouds
on a strange 
new world

standing still
stalling for time 

to kill 
the venomous
monster 
demon tsar 
Voldemort
the devil sits aloof

playing chess 
with his insanity
back to the wall
alone in his 
frozen friendless
Kremlin

he’s a cowboy
when he’s triggered

standing still 
stalling for time 

watching 
the sky fall
under 
mushroom clouds
on a strange 
new world

waiting
for Morning Star
to show his face
in a smoke filled
blue sky haze
riding bareback cavalry

he’s a cowboy
when he’s triggered

Song always made sense to me
Now I find that when I look down
Every page is empty
There is nothing to describe
Except the moon still bright

The Scientist 

His arm pinned up against his briefcase only for one small moment of time he 
almost felt fear but mostly astonishment that it could happen unto him at this 
time it was not fair he screamed inside at the pain of death and then he died 
mostly just unhappy that his work was now unfinished he remembered how he 
struggled with the funding certain now in a dying heart that no one would carry it 
further or study anything already done life is so unfair he screamed inside a 
scientist gone. Certain of the outcome the killer faded back into his limousine 
against the backdrop of the city properly called Green. Here in Green City there is 
lots of towns and villages where killers like to live. They like the atmosphere the 
ambiance. The anonymity of the surrounding foothills nothing further than the 
desert then. He was a Tachycardia specialist specializing in the central neural 
control trying to make sinuses blow. There have been random events coming to 
the scientists' mabe just accidents not a communist plot or a covert spy bloc just 
random hits on. People who concern themselves with death agree it's not a 
purpose thing its free the next scientist that dies will find his specialty has also 
died for who will come and study him to further knowledge on the end of 
specialists comes.
