Best Circumvented Poems
The Markle SparkleThe sweet Megan Markle had that bright sparkle
for she landed herself a true prince
Our dear handsome Harry, was never contrary
But the Queen he had to convince
All Britain is fawning, this is a new dawning
for actress turned royal brings fame
the coffers are filling, and tourism's thrilling

A Gargoyle Tankawater spurting
from a gargoyle spout…
I am drawn to
the gurgling of a baby
in his mother’s arms

Inside the BoxCan I picture being on a plane
Or in a car that’s rented?
Eating indoors in a restaurant,
My fears all circumvented?
Can I see myself discovering
My flight’s been scratched from going,
Just pacing in the airport lounge,
My panic up and growing?
I am stuck inside a Covid box
Despite my three...

An Imbroglio SunsetAN IMBROGLIO SUNSET
The City pits at night.
You can hear the quagmire constantly mobilizing.
The City is in quite a dilemma of all the crime happening that iniquity is a ridiculous system to maintain.
Nevertheless, the monstrous environment remains.
The crisis of revitalization is taking its toll.
The City's imbroglio...

Dramatic Monologue
What Does It Mean To Be a WomanWhat Does it Mean to be a Woman?
What does it mean to be a woman?
What does it mean to suffice?
It means to overcome suppression,
By men as cold as ice.
I suspect you know about the cruelty,
Of history and its legacy,
And that you yourself can...

In the Heat of BattleAmisdt the lull of flying rockets and shells I stare at this photo and feel terribly sad
My Grandfather, cut down in youth; my Dad, bound in a chair, with legs, iron clad
Mom with foresight, had it sealed in plastic, to keep it safe away from...

Happiness In OppressionHappily blinded by oppression
yet oppressed in a happy manner
being unemployed is circumvented
by the heavy consumption of alcohol
I gulp down my sorrows..
Yet I have learned to be joyful
Friday night around brown bottles
ex haling the brightest tomorrows
Talking about sweet nothings
We the slaves of our own minds..
Intoxication sees...

October Thirty FirstOctober Thirty-first
creature after creature
carefully finding their way to your
chaotic world
cyclops and
chimeras
carelessly chasing humans around like toys
camazotzs and
coinchenns
cramming young human and animal flesh into their
considerably terrifying muzzles
creatures creeping around every
corner
caged in the coldest part of hell
circumvented for one day of every year
circumspect the worse for
creatures...

The Night LifeThe nightlife!
Like potent owls of nature
we become vibrant in the night.
Daylight circumvented by sleep.
This nightlife is a buzz..
The streets are flooded
substance abuse increasing drastically.
Morals become looser on hips,
values no longer fit our style.
This nightlife is brutal...
In the mist of tobacco
the burden of reeking beer
I struggle...

Roe Vs WadeThe 70's brought a wake-up call, embracing some needed change.
Some women with unwanted pregnancies were self-mutilating, so insane.
It seems we are now regressing like a patient who's demented.
Why would a women's right to choose now be legally circumvented?
Too many women lost their lives in...

And Huxley Is Giggling In His Grave& huxley is giggling in his grave
if aldous was still alive,
he’d laugh himself to death
when confronted with the new evidence
that Zogenix’s
brand new spanking drug
“Zohydro,”
is yet another installment in mankind’s race
to create “soma,”
the government sponsored drug
he wrote of in Brave New World,
which would send...
