Best Disgust Poems


Premium Member -Joy And Disgust


Humans never fail to shock or surprise me
When l think l have them sussed
Human behaviour at its best or worst
Fills me with both joy and disgust

There is so much goodness in this world
Kindness toward our fellow man
Yet ,incredible selfishness and hate
Impossible to comprehend

I do not view life through rose coloured glasses
I just try to focus on the positives and kind
Not always easy to achieve 
If not …..l would simply lose my mind!

Pretentious Poem 1

Boiling shells crack down hard upon raining rooftops
None doth any apparitional material cover upon her arrogant gift
She hast not laid down upon her last upstanding
Glass convails images of the inconceivable 
Throwing away the Sun in blackened sickness 
No guilt, no shame, 
Unfeeling the inevitable eternal despisement 
Swarms choking the insides with a blanket
They whisper in your ear "I love you"
They grant you no delegable antidote
Pig-wrapped in a wasteful pursuit of carnal futility
Living out the rest of days hollow 
Old and carolled she slips on the filth of plastic suit
No, she won't live that long

Premium Member The Anatomy of Disgust

A stoma and a scar 
like the Grand Canyon
form a conspiracy 
against my body. 
The stoma--raw and 
fleshy--looks like a red 
and beefy barnacle on 
my side that constantly 
oozes and drains feces 
and waste like an 
overflowing, backyard 
cesspool. It sickens me.

Near the red and moist 
stoma lies a huge, 
crooked scar on my 
stomach and abdomen. 
It is like the Grand 
Canyon of Arizona--an 
immense displacement 
of the local landscape, 
only instead of earth 
and rock and soil it is 
my skin and muscle 
and tissue that has been 
gouged away. Like my
stoma, it sickens me as
well. Because of them
both, my body now
seems to me like the 
raw anatomy of 
disgust.


Premium Member I am disgust


I can churn stomachs, with a stench of truth 
An abscess filled with maggots, pus profuse
As I feed off gunk, new nerve ends take root
Raw language in my words, not gross abuse 
Yes! I am disgust, old wounds fear my fruit 


To late for contest

A Very Edgy Poem

(WARNING: very edgy)
(and also a little bit NSFW) 

This TV show is a really good show
It's such a good show that it had me commence the rituals again
The rituals of torment, the rituals of sin
The rituals of no sleep, the rituals of self-death
I am disgusted in myself
But more so I am disgusted in the rest of you
How can you live with yourselves after what you've done?
Probably the same way I live with myself
I hate you all
I want her to slit my throat then suck me off 
as I bleed to death

Once again I descend into depravity
And thus Death.

Premium Member I AM Disgust

How loathsome the murmurs seething around 
Amid the lies I pitch into a city's mind,
That  malicious whispers know my sound
By ruining your name...am I unkind
When friends become bashers, when real truth gets drowned?


Emotion of Disgust

Emotion of Disgust -
by Bob Atkinson


softly settled to my
ears

those words I wished
to hear

brought me to a
higher level

when written well,
so treasured


waiting patiently
among

the throng of
citizens, no guns

a gentle lot of
doers well

those who praise art
and tales


standing up to do
their best

to settle for all
the rest of us

a trumpet sound of
sculpted tones

ones with meaning
held upon


a field of life,
pages open

emotional tags,
sometimes spoken

carry me to advanced
nirvana

please read good
words, not trivia


when they speak
these honored verses

so well received and
prizes awarded

my hand reaches for
the door

so I might escape
these awful chords


no, they don't speak
for me

blank faces in the
audience

form so simply
irrelevant

purpose one's only
good intent

 

when sung accolades
flow quickly

a million sold six
months a pittance

poetry had come of
age

yet nobody knew or
accepted change


Chandos lamented
openly

no quotes from us,
our poetry

were made outside
our borders

were not champions
of language order


thought about this
for a while

remembered friends
in distant lands

who spoke Germanic
languages different

no English were they
aware of meanings


yet sung our tunes
with impassioned
voices

wildly swinging arms
to chorus

the words meant
nothing to their
minds

but beat with
rythyms to their
hearts timed

Premium Member Slum

Slum

Where hard looks and thin soup oppose,
the spider, cockroach, rat, and mouse dispute
in patient litigation or in border raids
our title to this world. 

There is no mystery, it boils down to food.
Our ruined lunches providing theirs
as Roman baths provided stones
for abbeys of a different creed.

They too win converts. With earbite and cold fear,
patient, persistent, numerous, 
their inquisitors huddle together in dim light
to study our disgust.

Greyly, brownly, blackly surpliced
they muse on our improbable millennium.

Beneath Your Disgust

Things of disgust.
Terror in my eyes.
Behold your power.
Your smartass replies.

I'm beneath you.
Look down on me.
I know it free's you.
The power you hold over me.
I'm beneath you.
Talk down to me.
I don't believe this.
The power you had over me.

Things of disgust.
The fear above my head.
Behold your character.
The bringer of dread.

I had blood on my face

I had blood on my face. Dirty. Gracious. And… disgusting. Blood dripping on my face. Didn’t know it. It just smelled bad.

When I looked at my face in the mirror, I thought… that the mirror had the blood.

I kept cleaning it. Cleaning it. Rubbing it. With my arms. With my palms. With my fingertips.

At the fatigue, I could get in my fingertips until that blood dripped from my face onto the mirror.

And now I understand that I had a problem. Who caused problems on both me and the mirror.

Now I can clean the blood on my face. But what about the mirror?

Premium Member Spare Me Your Disgust

I suggest, no, implore, spare me your disgust
When I am being my self … my imperfect self,
For even the finest iron has been known to rust

When exposed to the elements it must adjust
Like the perturbed perfectionist beside himself
I suggest, no, implore, spare me your disgust.

For some elements, unlike iron, will combust,
Perhaps when aggravated, not left on a shelf
For even the finest iron has been known to rust.

Your disgust signifies to me your utter distrust
Like some oft-abused, imaginary, holiday elf
I suggest, no, implore, spare me your disgust.

Is it that you covet some talent? If you must,
I have none … not even a meagre stash of pelf
For even the finest iron has been known to rust.

I feel the anguishing pangs of unrequited lust
While seeking metaphors alone by myself;
I suggest, no, implore, spare me your disgust
For even the finest iron has been known to rust.

Headshaker

No way to explain it
No need to analyze
No rationale, so incredible
And no meaningful prize
No possible motive
Except maximum self
The conscious world ceases
Brains put on the shelf
Bad habits are just that
Unhealthy routines
Crossing borders, explosive
 Loaded, meaningless fiends
And, yes, if G-d let's you
You'll endure this storm too
And the loathing, disgust
Will fade into view
Until the next time
When the devil drops by
Maybe wish him well
As you bid him goodbye.

Filth In Purity, Purity In Filth

I can't live without this
I have found life in death
Healing through sickness
Creation through destruction
Light in darkness
I can't live without this

That which holds me down gives me flight
That which enslaves me, frees me
That which sickens me, heals me
I've found purity in filth
and Filth in purity
Nothing held sacred is sacred

Sickness overcomes me
It lets me soar

Disgust

We've seen unknown faces of friends,
Find it hard to trust innocence...


Try not to think of where we've been,
Though we can't escape our skin...


Disgust wearing disguises...


We all got puke up to our knees
Soon though hunger will settle in


Cuts that can wait on bleeding

Blood stream
Main stream
Blood clot binge

Disgust For Trump

Disgust for Trump

Trump had to do what he must
Which is no one ever trust
Does poor when he gambles
Whole business is in shambles
With him do have much disgust.

I am beginning to believe it.
What next will he select to do?
