Best Bolt Out Poems

She sat beside the waterfall
where gushing thoughts cascade,
like tears that flowed along her cheeks,
her heart set to invade.

He left alone for pastures new.
A scribbled note in haste
he wrote then fled, as cowards do,
her heart a barren waste.

A lightning bolt out of the blue
that pierced her...

Buttery Corn Puffs are made up in heaven

Delicious and such melt in your mouth fun

I'm not really addicted I can stop any time

But must be held back at the point of a gun

Each night I bolt out of my bed screaming

“Where did you hide my...

For The Love Of Coffee, I Tarry

Just one more cup of coffee before I have to go,
the weather is bad and the boss will surely know.
If I tarry along and fail to clock in on time,
no mercy there, excuses aren't even worth a dime.

Yes, one...

Take it away
Right now—see here…look here
Run into the light where one shadow casts an intent, lowly eye
Into the very heart of the storm, the words fall with might

You see a word and take sail as doubt and understanding foretell
A heartfelt message meant to destroy all...

Asclepius is staring at the beam of a balance,
heart on pan and gold bars opposite

the heart is pastel gray the gold is glittering 
the heart not beating the gold glaring blinding the eyes

he ponders which one to keep in order to satisfy his desire
as well...

Last night began in a darkened room
filled with forced friendships and opaque smiles.
We ate freshly popped popcorn with real butter,
probably the only real thing in the room, except for
painful memories, lost dreams and misplaced smiles.

We watched Pinocchio.
I realized,
I too want to be a real boy.

You...

Sorry,if I looked ungrateful
And my attitude makes friendship stinks like rotten eggs; 
Sorry if I am afar from our poetic accord,
It is not just me, it is my tutelage.

All a while I am a pupil
In another Land and different tongue
The Land I must know,the tongue...

Calm and collected,
relaxed and non affected,
bang, like a bolt out of the blue,
no, not you??
bellowing,
acid tongue,
for goodness sake,
SHOULD BE HUNG!!!...

So much to say and no one to say it to
Well that’s not entirely true
You just don’t want me to

You have the strength of Hercules
Yet use it to hurt those close to you

You have the judgement of God
yet use it to push people away

Quick to...

Ofttimes yours truly assiduously tries to adlib,
but blubbers like a landlubber
at sea treading water donned with bib
(that doubles as yellow
spongy bobbing life jacket)

furiously doing doggy paddle
riding the next tidal wave
hoop fully washing me ashore to crib
if need be to dig an underwater channel
painstakingly slow drabs...

Buttery Corn Puffs are made up in heaven

Alms! shouted the beggar, 
as the royal carriage went by,
But just then, an arrow flew past,  
piercing the kings eye,
Killing him instantly, 
it penetrated his brain,
Beggar is still mumbling,
“lucky sod felt no pain.”

Perception can be misleading, 
changes all the time,
One second have everything, 
next...

The Persistent Quest

I've been searching and searching
 for something I had lost
 And I vowed to keep on looking,
 regardless of the cost

 I'd climb the highest mountain,
 And I'd sail the ocean blue
 I would roam all through the
 forest, if my dream would...
