Best Detonation Poems
Malevolent imploded uncontrollably,
twisting wildly maniacal posies
amid diabolically toasted brainstem,
angst uncompromisingly yanked tresses
purging stinging speech patterned rhymes
amuck iniquitous poetic verses hung
upside down to tormentingly dry,
facing other inimically knotted borders of
antagonistic galleries in deranged snapshots
razing warped poetical tapestries,
tripping on tunes of whiskey rushes' savoy truffles
and greenish tangerines whilst Led Zeppelin's
Sick Again danced upon reflective ceiling tiles,
time written sideways 'round alleged autonomy
hidden furthermost immune masked mirror images,
debauching Greek braille calligraphy's vindication
on walls of graffito scripted physicality
calling out 'tween hysterical compulsions,
naught one heeded the sounds of synapses
about ill-fated half moon's arresting arc,
synthetic doomsday's clocks aptly chimed
quarter to analytical cuckoo's nest repudiation,
still awaiting on serendipity to surrender
furthermost rabbit hole's curiouser rants,
relinquishing unwell-languaged compilations' sabotage - -
circumventing rhythmically subversive escaped detonation
Watching the Sun breach the horizon through bloodshot eyes.
Heart galloping; mind swelling. I can hear the drums beating.
Another War is coming.
Teeth grind against the storm.
Fingers against the carotid tremble
losing track of time; volatile blood
inside of a breathing mortar shell.
It’s getting warm inside this jacket.
But, I pull it ‘round. Closer.
Craving to be close to- something.
Before I’m shot off into the sky.
Spread into ashes.
Remembered only for the detonation.
-James Kelley 2019
Plunge deeper now, but keep within
the cost of armor for the win,
climb higher, higher ~ own the sky
the pulse of sentry needing . . . . "why!"
Speak lower, hiding your true cause
your neighbor"s vitals, need applause?
Bring forward all complaints that knaw,
or jeopardize with failing's flaw!
The Nation stands and waits in trial,
all motives grand, relate denial ~
it was the other guy's hem-haw,
that kept us in recession's aisle!!
Bring anger to the course, exile
new government must stay remorse,
if challenges resource our file
it's still your check that we endorse!

The explosion was loud,
it rattled panes,
created worried crowds,
darkened clouds,
falling rain,
acid, but rain just the same,
pigeons reeling into the sky,
flying high,
by the millions as they try
to escape the aftermath,
another detonation
could destroy the nation,
God’s creation,
salvation.
tears for the breakfast
music of blood in their vessels
you are an enigmatic
ocean
red fruits on the green trees
grey limps with broken heart
of the bubbling youth
detonation in the field
of love
