Best Diffracted Poems
Almost 8 BillionWe’re the electromagnetic spectrum;
Particles, waves, almost eight billion strong.
To coherent frequencies some belong,
some divided by color through prism.
Varying energies from low to high,
narrowly diffracted photons scatter.
Lacking mass, believing we don’t matter,
Invisible to the unaided eye.
Synchronized, polarized, amplified beams,
collimated waves propagating dreams,
refracted rays bend to reflected...

This Is WarThese are not wars,
These are not soldiers.
These are games,
These are pawns.
Pit against one another by Kings, Queens; their Bishops and their Rooks.
Hiding, yet again, behind what they took.
Look not to the knights in armor,
Which shine with none other than reflection,
Of those faces who grimace and...

FocusIf I was to take a word, say focus,
Stand it on its head,
And ask with growing sense of dread,
Why my friend did you just now,
Fly upon this particular
Moment’s verbal locus?
Torture I might answer, like waterboarding,
Might explain a thing or two.
Indeed the stakes are dear,...

Point of No ReturnPoint Of No Return
Nor here or there we stand before creations
Stardust secretions with loving limitations
Heaven bounded in the lap of lachrymal lure
Multiverse in reverse as we euphorically endure
Immaculate infernal of soul’s conception
Divine destiny draws us to deaths deception
Holographic injections of celestial skies
Soothing stimuli of diffracted...

The Brightest StarTHE BRIGHTEST STAR
To view the brightest violent star,
that glints and glitters from it's scar.
It's life is burning, blurred and far,
we cannot know, just where they are.
The brightest star takes breath and lives,
in sparks and flares, it dusts through sieves....

Lucky CharmBreaks an egg and out comes the sun
Begging for forgiveness
For lighting
Ducks sailing on the spikes
Women watching them trough keyholes,
Light diffracted into Meduses-
My happy face
Circularly deformed-
The brave man behind lens
Is the sunset’s zipper
Of the blue eye spot-
Her face – mechanic eyes
Lied on the floor, naked-
A pomegranate...

Paradox - An Echo PoemBy Darren White of PoetrySoup and Brian Johnston of PoetrySoup and Poemhunter
Where Laughter Lived
Do not come looking for me in
small corners of our house
I am not there
The vast space we occupied
where laughter lived
I left behind
The...

The Mystery of Empty SpaceThe vacuum of space is quite real: it's not nothing!
And Science found proof that there's no ether either
(still air that 'life' moves through at walk and won't notice.)
For Physics, a problem was born that was trouble!
All light gets diffracted (1), refracted (2) (things wave-like)
though waves...

No Shadows After SunsetLong human silhouettes at eventide.
Dry lips, coruscating eyes, hungry souls, a lakefront view.
Water shimmering in the diffracted coral beam; upcoming moonlight.
Pair of warm and cold hands.
Cool evening breeze against golden and olive skin.
Fleeting instants after 6 p.m.;
Perfect moments don't last long,
Seconds of solace,
Concealed is...

The Birth of HopeA photon wave, I lighten the broadest vista,
not a nook that has ever contained me,
unable to choose between two dark eyes
my ripples enter both simultaneously
striking but one heart, I'm free.
One light is all that can exist
and though I am but a fragment
the chance...

Sunset CrystalsSunsets are like gemstones tossed into a lake made of sky,
Skipping amethyst, quartz and cat's eye across the horizon's tide.
Diffracted photons from the sinking sun shoot as though shot from a pistol,
Beams of bullets shatter the chandelier of the scattered incandescent crystals....
