Best Disbanding Poems

Traveling through the jaded discourse
With bartered pen and little remorse
Brandishing sharpened scalpel; tour de force
Unabashedly seeking all texts from lexicon to divorce

Developing underlying themes to alter the broader context
Freely abridging each verse to establish the pretext
Isolating each stanza to create a subtext
Inferring connotations to establish...

Bored with a tawdry sanguine summer
Languidly 
She licks the brilliant summer blue 
            from the sun addicted sky 

Through naughty cloudy lips 
Sucks millenniums of genetic grace from 
Orchestrated flocks of fright
Fleeing down the...

My days in the streets of despair took me from scanty shanties
Intermittent through dreams drinking the syllables of books
Cast before my eyes, I was at the bottom of nooks and crannies
Hiding in barren valleys of bushes, and sometimes cast hooks
Angling the sea for food that...

I did not find myself to be so important
So I ask my friends do I seem distant?
When I ask the question I had received an answer, Yes
So I think that made it clear that I had been not the best
I am a friend of a...

It has been standing here forlorn:
Now a burning house on fire;
None’s here to rush or shout for help:
There’s None for it a crier…

A gloomy place this has been
For past a year and score;
I’ve known this place since kidship days:
It never felt so sore.

What else can...

“ShallowMan, if you’ve conflictions
owing to your mind’s addictions
to subconscious maledictions,
due to doubt in old convictions;
tell me now of your afflictions.”

“FactoidMan, I must confess
I understand you more or less
though subtleties provoke distress,
and even more your fine finesse
inclines to make my mind compress.
Forgive me now my cheekiness

A teacher we know
died suddenly
        or so 
        it seemed
        and
It seemed

March for Our Lives Parade Poem 4 (5,401)

In silence, she was  stoically there standing,
Calmly while all of our attention demanding,
And to mention,
Caught attention;
After all was over they did start disbanding.

Jim Horn

Are completely quiet after you have been born;
Eyes open and breathe when from mother...

Kinship, I need you
   Friendship, I seek you
Suspend common feeling
   Portend a wish come true

Hand grenade carnged torsos
   Standing alone I'm unafraid, but I weep
Disbanding the grotesgue and the gore
   Withstanding strange thoughts in my sleep

Encahnting you...

The Square Root of Beiruit 
 
Ten men bending while theyre pretending to be near the ending
A capitalist nightmare glares like rotten fruit
The squate root of Beiruit
No it isn’t fair, so they’ll start to loot
 
The soldiers are just standing,
Old than the god damn moon landing
The Universe is...

It's inevitable the momentum of the large headed human ego....
has finally put mankind over the brink.
There's no coming back
the clock says 1 second 'til midnight.
The earthworms have shed their glass slippers
Soon they'll be sliding underground...
their prince will not follow. 

They've been tunneling and stockpiling for...

Some find relief in solitary confinement
And others cherish the thought of being alone
I am but a weary soul craving for cessation and realignment
Waiting for greater powers to break this vestigial bone

Some are inclined to love and prosper
Relinquished control begets their duty to forget
I am built...

The headline reads: "This contest is the last;
no longer enter poems to be judged.”
How disappointed we'd all be to close
a special door that leads to writing skills.

Each contest offers reasons to create-
and learn from other poems entered too.
To have a purpose to express our thoughts
