Best Deathblow Poems


Premium Member A Picasso President

I have claimed to be apolitical but there are times 
when the crop is ready for harvesting, so I put fuel 
in the John Deere, ink in my pen and wrote...


He'll get millions of votes for that nicked ear
The vengeful narcissist people should fear
Picasso President
With malicious intent
He should be given the famous Bronx Cheer!

It looks like the graffiti on the wall
Four more years and America will fall
Trump will blow his own horn
Guilty of loving p.o.r.n.
And the rape of all the women he's mauled

There's another Trump, Junior's daughter, Kai
Brought a tear or two to dear grandpa's eye
It was her intention
During the convention
To convince people that he's a good guy

Melania was there but just for show
Since he paid off Stormy... well uh, you know
She has kept her distance
Abhors his existence
She can't be with him since he's had a ho

His Trumpeters may be humbled one day
Those who will vote for him and have their say
Those who are so headstrong
Thinking he's done no wrong
The beast who led America astray

He hasn't made the US great again
He's torn the nation apart... friend from friend
Time will tell the story
But there'll be no glory
Picasso President is no Godsend.

Trump toadies must be in a state of bliss
When his venom spews like a snake, hiss, hiss
They praise the dictator
The alienator
His villainy too baleful to dismiss

I've never liked saying, "I told you so"
But D J Trump is a jerk and a schmo
He's a divisor of men
When he's elected again
His tyranny will reign like a deathblow

I've read a few posts about Trump and yet
Not one comment did I write to upset
Another poet's view
I expect that from you
Without hostility or epithet

Premium Member Indian Giver of Life

.
The Indian Healer gathered willow
Dried medicinal bark like dried tallow
When fever came to the camp
Small dose when with fever damp
Relieves many of tribe from the deathblow

When Chucky Groundhog comes above,
He's looking for a lady love.
If he sees shadow,
It is spring's deathblow.
For six long weeks, winter won't move.


Time Takes What Time Never Gave

Time did as time does and flew on by
It left me with a distant stare wondering, but why?
With brittle bones and shades of grey
All time had in me was just another prey

Its countdown instantaneously set aglow 
Its renewing and degenerating flow a deathblow 
Released from its death grip now taking shape
My heart beats in the wind like a flying cape 

Time dictates as grey cover arrests a bright shiny day 
It flies freely as white clouds along the blue sky
My heart is collecting in the silver ashtray
As I smoke a pack forest fires everyday

I’ve clocked some irrational fears
More than once, sold and bought into pointless ideas
Where did it all go, this time I need to be brave?
Because time takes what time never gave

I Want To Be a Farmer

I want to be a farmer but my soil is oh, so po –
We gathered up some chicken poo and spread it with a hoe.
We plowed the dirt, amended it and straightened every row.
Upon the soil we sowed the seed we bought to sow.

We had the visions in our heads of how the food would grow.
And that we would upon success the bounties bestow.

We planted some tomato plants to use in gumbo.
Too soon, they grew lanky with no fruit, and yellow.
The lettuce germinated but received a quick deathblow.
Beets were dwarfed above the ground no growth below.

Not like the visions in our heads of how the plants would grow.
With twenty beans of bounty eaten, we did not bestow.

I want to be a farmer that can watch her veggies flow.
Fresh food to serve at the table from our garden furrow
So, even though success was slim, I’ll remember my motto.
Try, try, and try again…forgetting disappointment and sorrow.
 
Renewed are visions in my head of how our food will grow.
We’ll pick a spot that has more sun, amend the soil and sow.

Talk Therapy As Fulcrum To Leverage Psychological Ills

Oh...and hello
to you, some hours past, I
returned from counseling,
(hence this boy yent -
     albeit beastie boy 
     figuratively basking
in fading afterglow)
great kickstarter session,

countless moments ago,
sans treatment plan,
she facilitated emotional airflow
i.e. Stephanie Dodds,
(sat straight as an arrow)
whereat this client purged, avow
hid lee, his psycho
logical reflux backflow

(Matthew Scott Harris) did crow
     as said professionally trained
     medicine woman actively listened,
     (no doubt other male patients
     similar to yours truly entertained
     (alignment with see
     thing hormonal concurrence,
where ego super vies iz

     Id dee hot - hook line, and sinker
     attributed to Sigmund Freud,
     who sired, midwifed, and fathered
     psychoanalytic theories)
sexual kindled fantasies,
viz being bedfellow
this soul, hood doth not bellow,
but keeps mum

     (during my allotted time),
yet willingly shares
with utter strangers
intimate gal olive
hunt ting fantasy,
that doth beshadow
obviously no intent to breach
     such prurient thoughts, bestow

foolscap upon mine noggin,
    and most definitely blow
future appointments
with aesthetically pleasing
(tomb maa cryptic) bowwow
wing hot diggity
dog inner primate, perhaps,
and not surprisingly get brow

beaten, where dire
erect tor of facility
    wilt hell me
"go take a hike to
penile solitary bungalow,"
where all manner of
libidinous desires wanna burrow
(where warren peace

     can thrive hare and now),
     on par with rabbit - burr reader,
which confinement would
not principally peter out
till dawning transgression vetted,
     and avered final cockrow
trumpeted, norte - til last cornrow
reaped, hence unable

to thwart counterblow
permanently, doth nada
different she hate
lustful zeal from eye
dims sum – genital fateful dayglow,
thence high lee 
     grant ting deathblow
to testosterone laden satiety,

     randy proclivity, and
     concupiscent adoration from

wet dreams plying fecund,
feminine, and fertile ground

Luna's Lunatic

Holding hands as we walk between headstones
Feeling like a cyclone trapped in a gemstone
Emotions materialize like amber in the concrete
Personified Hellfire and brimstone, turning birthstones to bloodstones

Laughing like a psycho as she leaves me hallow
So I bestow a craked skull to Apollo
I did it just to watch the sun bleed
Luna delivers the deathblow, as I sit on his throne like a pharaoh

Luna's Lunatic, her faithful fanatic
A simple spell, potent potion I become frantic
Kill the light, slay the day, bleed the holy man
A little lunar lust and I become manic

Fighting sanity as the moon begins to rise
A deathly omen of genocidal demise
Howls fill the night, a nocturnal death knell
Last breath, final wish as I gently close your eyes

Premium Member Dill Pickle Hated Blue Cheese

Dill pickle hated him so
Because he stank badly
Dill pickle screamed just go
Blue cheese wept thus sadly
When I leave the fridg, bro
I'll stink ever much mo
Dill pickle grew older
Fermenting like a bozo
Then opening his holder
A stink scent deathblow

My Father the Craftsman Part Ii

Suddenly without bedmate and counterpart 
   one month shy of fifty years, no deity could answer
razor sharp emotional pain cut to the quick 
   recollecting ballroom dancer

himself as a handsome youth so graceful and suave, 
   fast as Bill Haley, or comet 
   and lightly afoot in seventh heaven as a prancer 
oh..and ever the debonair, humorous, and loving romancer
where pixie dust sprinkled via an invisible en trancer.  
 --------------------------------------------------------------------
Uterine/ovarian Cancer metastasized 
   dealing deathblow, and took more than mother away
her rigor mortis terminated love labor lost, 
   whence second love sans father, 
   his hands no longer did oh bay,     

whose once passion to ply his creative handiwork 
   heartfelt interest hardened as sun baked clay
where formerly, he spent energy and time 
drafting designs and building ornate creations 
   most every night and day,

which lifelong penchant to draw 
   (deepseated and etched within his genes) 
   until profound grief did flay   
dealt mortal kombat towards, 
   whence toiling at basement workbench 

   colored his world blackish gray
nor would he respond, and only tearful sorrow
   exuded upon losing the special maiden, whom he lay
down and begot thyself and two sisters, 

   during living years sans lightness of being an a may
 fly expert designer, creator and builder – 
   during me chilhood objects like play  
house and Flintsone car 

   (with license plate to boot), beaming with ray
dee ants at products of imagination got wrought, 
   until grim reaper did slay
purposefulness and will power to remain alive  
   pronounced sadness witness loss of appetite 

   and considerable diminishing beefiness obvious 
  without him getting atop scale for a weigh
but fate smiled upon accursed widowerhood, 
   and now for quite some time, 
   a gal took hull hiking to history 
   and the restaurant at the end 
   of the galaxy they went – yay!

Yesterday's Pains By Ron Porter

Goodbye broken heart,? ?so long sorrow;
my beloved is by my side today,
I won't need yesterday's pains tomorrow

Each failed romance seemed a deathblow
that rendered my world barren and gray.
Goodbye heartbreak,? ?so long sorrow.

Old hatreds and hurts,? ?i used to borrow
as armor, to shield me from the fray.
I won't need yesterday's pains tomorrow!

No more, in morose misery,? ?do i wallow.
Tears and fears can't hang me in their sway.
Goodbye heartbreak,? ?so long sorrow

No longer does self-pity rip and harrow,
Ancient injuries are starting to fade away
I won't? ?need yesterday's pains tomorrow

Each moment once was too bitter to swallow.
Now the savor of your love flavors every day
Goodbye broken heart,? ?so long sorrow;
I won't need yesterday's pains tomorrow.

Requiem of the Rising Sun: April 6

The giant’s eyes have closed.
Guards stand ready to deal the deathblow.
A hush—
            The cheering crowd remembers
It’s not over until the last breath escapes.

Transcendence

The sun is shining, and the sky is blue 
The robin on an olive tree singing; 
Chirp, chirp, chirp until it flew 
I wonder what’s it saying? 

School’s out, and the children are holidaying. 
In an isolated field, the girl walks; 
The paedophile had been watching 
To lure her to his home with sweet talks. 

The apple dropped and fell to the ground 
By my feet, it has been crushed;
How long will it be around
Or from existence, it will be brushed? 

From a distance, the lady arrived at a house, 
With sophisticated clothes and good looks; 
The old man waiting for her like a timid mouse 
Later he paid her and another date he books. 

From yesterday, continued today, also tomorrow, 
Episodes in life pass, and more will be created; 
As for me, I see events becoming deathblow
The thirst for evil it’s unbelievable underrated.

Tsunami

Clinging to a tree my might is numb
Teeth chattering, soaked in seaweed I succumb
to the shores of doom, the tides violent surge
Adrift and marooned all owed to a sudden urge
After the party I woke up on a tropical island 
Wild rainforest and coconut groves, tailor made in Thailand
The Turtle Island, underwaters heaven
We were seven, gone snorkeling the night before
None of which were ones who washed ashore
I heard scrambling voices from below
less those who didn’t survive the deathblow
Lungs spewing up ocean water, not the timeless turquoise,
but the stormy muddled wash, murky, writhing wildly 
sirening a crushing noise
Twigs, glass, and storms debris rips through skin
Blood seeps down red rivers running thin
soaked thoroughly, bringing shivers    
As tidal waves and ruthless rain cease their wells,
instinctively the islanders help each other through 
the fallen landscapes
As the beached turtles struggle in their shells, 
who once glided effortlessly in the sea 
I know what I must do
Keep with the spirit of aloha
and stay until the sky becomes blue 
Then set the turtles free

Perversion By Ron Porter

Perversion.? ?Hidden deep inside
it roils and coils?; ?wrestles and writhes
screams,? ?gnashes,? ?gnaws and cries;
longing to tear the wings from flies

No volition to kill-? ?not the aim.
Rather,? ?to punish,? ?is the game.
Ignore deathblow,? ?purpose to maim;
in the wake,? ?leave broken and lame.

Pain persitent, ?it seeks to bring.
Perversion.! ?Lusts only to inflict suffering;
it insinuates to you?; ?it whispers to me
"make them hurt,? ?then you'll be free".

Premium Member Cyclone

Marvelous Maxine Hunkel, heroine cyclone, 
With her amazing power gets anyone blown...!

Through her abductor scientist Morrow the mad,
With vast violent velocity she got clad...!

Her simple sneeze could destroy her granny’s garage,
She could sleep in tornado as though in mirage...!

She could dare the very Captain America,
As though overpowered by nude nostalgia...!

The offensive whirlwind she could, like wind-gust, strike,
Could be cool like breeze, she could also turn deathlike...!

Noh-Varr, the non-hurt, Cyclone could deadly damage,
Tough turbulently tense tempers she could manage...!

Hulkling, the sovereign of the odd outer space,
Cyclone could hit easily with her ace-pace raze...!

Though operations of Cyclone Cyclops could know,
He could be, yet, shaken by her dazzling deathblow...!

Beast, the monstrously dysderids Dracula dies,
Of Cyclone's torrential terror hits and fast flies...!

Daredevil who could brutally stand all alone,
Could not stand alone against lone flown Cyclone zone...!  

Could Hank Pym defeat Cyclone by his pert power?
Who does cower, dour, glower, shower and tower...???
