Best Disconcert Poems

A land unto its own as old as dirt
Condemned by voguish northern state of mind
This realm you'd be hard-pressed to disconcert
Though his'try would prefer it be maligned

The secret twisted oak and winding creek
The tapestries of moss that grace the swamp
They whisper in a language few...

When folly leads; to wisdom…
By the way of endless dreams
'Pon a backdrop psycadellic where, 
There's nothing all it seems’

I have struggled with good reason
made forays to shore-less isles
Lived a lifetime in the instant  
Rode the shine of unforced smiles

Finding ever more to disconcert me
Through...

A tornado comes and goes so quick
 Sometimes revisiting on the same day
 Air humid, breathing hard and thick
 Best advice given…get out of its way

 Sounds like freight train bearing down
 Delivers this –Varoommmmmmmmmm
 Next best advice--don’t live in a valley
 Respite from twisters...

As I was sitting on the pot 
I felt a pair of eyes; 
I took a glance out through the slot 
And much to my surprise, 
There was a patch of blue out there 
I'd never seen before. 
I couldn't make out head or hair...

Bodhisattvas turn airflow into flames,
water into Earth
as Jesus turned baptismal waters
into blood red rivers
of warm nutritious wine.

Bodhisattvas,
like Messiah prophets and saints,
long for
belong to
the baptismal political economy
of cooperative ecotherapeutic waters,
as yin flows air MidWay notnot pathological
through Yang's Great Transitional flames
ecstatically leaping,
empowerment "hungry"
for air's co-arising health-optimizing 
embrace

The unusual fragrance looms above my room, 
Its owner not yet known, 
Its purpose still a mystery I assume 
Sweeter than any other fragrance I ever own, 

Its mood is ataraxia, 
Cold soothing scent, texture so smooth, 
Like dying in a peaceful euthanasia, 
I have...

Contemptuous of his home beyond
The village and the village pond,
A large-souled Frog who spurned each byeway,
Hopped along the imperial highway.
Nor grunting pig nor barking dog
Could disconcert so great a frog.
The morning dew was lingering yet
His sides to cool, his tongue to wet;
The night dew when...

HYDROPHOBIA

 Feeling some disconcert
As I saw some dirt upon my shirt,
I rinsed it out, but all in vain,
For one big spot did thus remain.
 Alas, it had been surely smote
By grease from a gravy boat!

I now saw I needed attention.
To a hostile, phobic tension
Between water...

On some days it will rear its ugly head
to disconcert when all around seems fine,
and offer choices different instead
from those I've made to build this life of mine.
It teases in the street, a passing glance,
a burst of laughter, glimpse of sparkling eyes,
two kissing lovers, bathing...

It took me time to embellish 
myself
And long to reach you!

And there I stand confronting 
you and lionise,
Behaving uncontrived and 
candid!

And now you waste golden 
moments talking to my better 
half,
Bereft me and become 
nonpareil!

Your fairer half still sits staid,
Not inveighing our inexorable 
closeness!

Do not...

A Convict on the Loose

By Elton Camp

It was eight o’clock and we’d settled for the night
But little traffic was passing so our street was quiet
One of our favorite movies was just about to begin
When Eye Witness News abruptly came breaking in

“It’s a serious announcement that...

The dots do I join, to rediscover
That which was forgotten, remembered through continuation
Naivety had my youth shown plenty
Lines of love, professed lies
My aspirations stemmed, by a being not noticing. 

Time has it stopped not for my admiration
Its progression I cannot prevent
But my mind's reversion, has...

Maybe I'm committing a social gaffe
but when someone falls, I have to laugh.
For just a moment I feel guilt and disconcert
before rushing over to see if they've been hurt.

Belly laughter is contagious
It tickles my fancy; it's outrageous
how quickly giggles get out of control,
but laughter is...

Everybody’s mishegoss*
Is different from our own.
One person’s crazy fears won’t match
The ones to which we’re prone.

Spending time with others
May surprisingly reveal
Ideas and actions out of sync
With how we live or feel.

For all of us succumb to
Thoughts irrational, which lack
A basis in reality,
Appearing out of whack.

Yet...
