Best Catapulted Poems

Until recently many had never heard of this man's name
But tragic circumstances have catapulted him to fame
A lawyer and a comedian then in two thousand and eighteen
He decided to become involved in the Ukraine's political scene.

In two thousand and ninteen he won the presidency
And vowed...

Remember all the Wise Men on their knees upon your yacht?
With orphans on their backs they’d crawled (with others that they’d brought)
Through rubble on the highway sands and residues of Lot.
They came from severed cities selling postcards of your thoughts,
Though offered for a penny piece,...

You stood in the dock when the guilty verdict was read out …
Just a spotty youth with a cocky look in your eyes
Now sentenced to five years in prison, I hope you rot in hell!

The defence team tried to make out that YOU were the...

"Wondrous" this dynamic group,
That concocts their hearty poetic soup,
Then sit, then wait, always polite,
For comments that the others write.

But lofty are artistic goals,
As we bear our hearts and expose our souls,
And catapulted into heaven,
When we receive that cherished rate of "seven".

A "six" is like a...

A breath of light and suddenly I'm lost.  Catapulted by 
a mesmerizing scene of audacious beauty.
I'm a ringtone of arrival on a magic carpet ride,

My glass life half empty,
Never like you or them,
Catalyzed by forsaken neglect,
Abandoned with the breeze,
Catapulted into your world of torment,
Sparkling spirit lost its glimmer, 
Ebbing amidst flawed philosophies, 
Breathing cynicism into existence.
Save me from this despondency,
And soothe my demons,
Requisitioning the essence of 
My everything,
Pilfering what...

I wandered the vastness of the universe
Just to meet you here
I considered many life times to glimpse
Your adorable essence
I explored the magical land of Atlantis
Even the technological Lemuria
I lived a couple of thousands of years in Sumeria
And learned to spoke magical words
I lived with the...

The myriads of unmarked graves in the cemetery
Presenting miserable image of human heartlessness
Uncared and unsung by near, dear all and sundry
Forsaken and abandoned, victim of unkindness

Which one of them holds my mother’s remains?
My angel, my lover, a philosopher, a friend
A melancholy child riding rough terrains
I...

Roaring in like a speeding train,
it left no time for me to flee.
And my house disintegrated
into pieces all around me.

Catapulted from my spinning bed,
I got tossed around like debris.
And in that whirlwind of darkness,
it was impossible to see.

The air got sucked out of my lungs,
and...
