Best Bulged Poems

Sparkling snowflakes were falling around
Making a thick blanket on the ground

The lights on the Christmas trees
Twinkling brightly in the breeze

Carol singers sang a Christmas song
People around joined in the throng

Their lanterns casting a golden glow
Their shadows dancing in the snow

Two excited children were ready for...

Into blind rage he flew again
  His neck veins bulged, his fists he closed
His wife could not remember when
  She'd seen her man calm or composed

This time she screamed; she'd yelled out Stop!
  Surprised and stunned, he lost his voice
Tempting fate, she'd...

One character I used to like a  lot
was skinny, bald, and not at all refined.
yet he was superhuman when he fought
and also had a keen detective’s mind.

He had a pipe, and this ingenious bloke
would use it as a torch or periscope.
In fact, he rarely...

My abiding memory of 2015 is of events that are so sad
With my father’s death, it’s the worst year I’ve ever had

It has been the most challenging year for me
But with amazing support I remain pretty happy

I don’t want to dwell on events that have...

Dear swollen-trunk maple, deemed 
diseased by the saw-happy tree guy, 
you who have stood silently, supposedly 
slipping your ailment through your roots 
to the neighboring trees, now fallen 
full blast down, geometrically down, 
right angle, then parallel at last, your flat-
sawn stump blotched with incriminating...

If, entrusted were I, with a magical purse,
one that held what was needed, but not monies curse.
One that neither bulged, nor would ever be empty,
so when I reached down within, there I'd find plenty.

A handful of tolerance, I would pull each day,
to pass out to...

Through my window I watched it float gracefully by
An eloquent specimen, a rare butterfly
Wings painted black and the brightest of green
The most breathtaking creature I ever had seen

It flew to the forest in a zig-zagging line
And landed to rest on the bark of a pine
Flushed...

A gathering of whispers travel from breath to breath,
much like trains picking up chattering gossips along its 
route. With breath held, they stand and wait to join the 
last exhale of the wretch standing on the hanging platform. 

Whilst a judge washes the atrocity from...

POVERTY IN AFRICA
Nzongi N.Mwero
Large population live in slums,
Youth unemployment looms,
Illiteracy looms,
Poor health standards zooms,
In Africa poverty has rooms

A protein starvation diseases on the rise,
Due to a harsh natural environmental and subsistence level,
And semi skilled farming methods,
Many rely mainly on their primitive agriculture to stay alive,
Most...

I solicit, can I be
your man, man of
dreams,
She smiled and
responds with
nihilism,

I startle with
embarrassment,
Nevertheless, she
kept on spiting with
criticism,

I lost and tears
bulged out from the
eyes,
Expel not this time
with pessimism,

In wonder and in
dilemma of bewilder
ness,
Fell down from edge
of optimism,

And truly I can only
yearn and pine,
Can’t I fetch her
with...

Upon the Shelf
by
Kevin L Fairbrother


I spied it sitting on the shelf
A pretty shape and so smooth
It set my pulses racing
And my eyes bulged in my head
…

I picked it up with gentle touch
And caressed the smooth skin
My fingers explored the bottom
Then ran up to the head
…

I...

I'm named Delysia (sic) Patricia. This poem was 
inspired by Chris De Burgh's "Stripper" song.

A buxom beaut
ill of repute
amply endowed with bits to spare
undoubtedly cute
without dispute
had a penchant her wares to lay bare
 
She'd vocationally strip
do the occasional dip
her pockets bulged, much like...

The building is imposing, massive and fearful,
     built in 1862 as a jail and gallows for criminals;
conditions for the inmates were inhumane and appalling,
          the top floor was death row with only...

Alley Cat, Alley cat

Alley cat, alley cat
Can you imagine that?
A black skunk crossed your path,
And that's a fact, is that a flash?
Of another smelly cat, smelly cat
Can you really imagine that?
That smelly cat fought the skunk
Now smelly cat looks like a punk,
The cat's fur is...
