Best Experimental Poems


Experimental Life

I'm not sure you can see this
But my life is an experiment
Where I try new things out every day

I wake up in the mornings
Most times without warning
Put my feet on the floor, then on my way

I talk with people I pass
Monitoring if they talk back
If I feel lead I'll even shake hands

With this I check my heart rate
Making sure to keep up the pace
Like a lab rat at sciences demand

I'll visit Delicatessens 
Jotting down lessons
Of what I do and do not like

I do this for science 
Where future generations might find it
Interesting that I always order pie

I've even fallen in love
Believe me science doesn't know enough
And I'm not sure they'll ever find that out with time

But I'll keep on experimenting
My life project I hope soon won't be ending
For the sake of science and all of mankind

Premium Member CHANCE RANDOMNESS in the experimental

randomness in art
essentially 
a one-off experiment to suggest 
a counterintuitive interpretation
In a visual representation
with  the element chance 
to bring spontaneity 

thereby
 liberating creativity from rational thought
 becomes 
full of surprise 
 open to different interpretations

revealing
visually striking
unexpected connections  
 of  meaningful shapes
 in
 chance   
   imaginative conclusions

Repetition - Excerpt From Experimental Novel -

Now transition, a transit repositionment, a white car super-imposed with consumerist propaganda. Long rectangular prism solid moving, propelled by inflatable tubes circular, and the foul engine. A refridgerator that keeps the hole in the ozen fresh and crispy. 
So I'm in this thing... and the seats are filled with characters; your second generation immigrants thankful to afford a spot in the faux refugee parade, an accolade, to the American dream, staged.

And once again the prism, because last night was just too much of a blur to remember- like an unwanted poem:

Repetition,
last day was same,
and how to remember,
Monday from Thursday,
and months
only by the weather
and the multitoned coughs,
of interchanging drivers,
if poetry is false,
then all the world's a liar
a twist and shake with truth,
and the multicolored boots
of attractive women who do 'the eyeroll'-
Wolf don't love, don't care,
they wouldn't survive in the woods out there.


Interludes Experimental

"Interludes Experimental" 

Written in clouds
what eyes miss
patterns repeat
in minds 
like poets speak 

fast and irretrievable
irrelevance misses
the parenthesis
buried in interludes
experimental 

in minds 
like poets speak

(LadyLabyrinth / 2022)

Premium Member Dances of Vibrating Rituals

No Exit
musicians hide behind scarring sounds
beyond madness
beyond folly
beyond Somewhere Everywhere

dance with delirious determination
through fragments of melodious folly

dissonant dulcimers declare 
repetitive chords
within punctuated digital drones

repetitive beyond vibration
vibrating beyond repetition

percussive rituals vibrate 
beyond inflated vaudevillians 
mutating into
mad cacophonous comedic collisions

rituals beyond vibrating cacophony
rituals behind chaotic vibrations

deranged vibraphones 
denounce
fragments of repetitive visions 
mindful of mindless
Exits

Good morning, 
Gibbers And Watts how may I help you today? 
Yes Sir I can help you with that.
Have you had any thoughts on how you would like to be killed? 
Ok yes so like an accident? 
We do have a couple of offers on at the moment.

Premium Member The Wobbling Droplets

The wobbling droplets are quite happy.
Full of joy and not too shabby,
I hear them laugh.
They are promptly quaffed.

:-)~:~:~ooo~:~:~(-:

I give my wobbling droplets a shake,
and laugh until my head breaks.
They happily orbit the Earth,
looking down on us with mirth.

o/o\o|~~?~~|o/o\o

The wobbling droplets are enchanting
but they will not interfere with my ranting.
For I have more poems to eject,
that many will not hesitate to reject.

Premium Member In the Breezy Trees

We are in 
the breeze 
with trees possible 
off the flying lake

look for orange cone
wearing silver mask
in front of the office 
in back of the park

No back-to-back
or front-to-back
conversations
on old rocky route
where roots are not masked

Dogs wearing masks
are welcome
Humans need to be 
on leashes

Rain policy
will be localized
at the park

You can just
show up on 
a deconstructing
road to nowhere

Road to hell does not show
up on Google Maps

Play baseball on the Floating Lake
Give away tickets to hunger games
hike in bathrooms in lake's center

Premium Member Ice Rock Cometh

Behold & beware…
green comet 
sails through
cadaverous darkness
on its journey through 
Sol’s neighborhood

Gaia’s parasites
blink at
the luminous 
icy rock
   (they are
   pummeled by 
   shocking storms
   & plagued with stormy 
   delusions)

It’s official:
humankind is
on the glowing rocks
  (obviously a major malfunction)
dodging more shoes 
 dropping like conspiring flies 
   out of a corrosive sky
caught between interstellar cigars
& hard places
   as the gods play dice 
   with entangled eons

Aargh & Yikes!
rumbles a horrified poet 
seeking & evading
The Good, The Bad &
  The Ultimate
in celestial entrails
  within fields of nightmares
blindsided by
diseased deities
  bearing apocalyptic gifts
blinded by 
tormenting tardigrades 
   waiting for the last laugh

Indeed
it is exhausting
to escape event horizons
& evade Martian ironists 
posing as poisoned 
dust devils
  howling coldly
  growling boldy
  Where No Pen has Gone Before

Premium Member House of Cliches

I rest my case
on a house of cards
(that)
hit the nail on the head
(of) the nail in the coffin
(that)
hit the ground running
where the rubber hits the road
(while)
time flies when you’re having fun
in the nick of time
(and)
all’s well that ends well
all is fair in love and war
(let’s not forget that)
the writing’s on the wall
it could be worse
(as)
the light at the end of the tunnel
is a perfect storm after the calm

Premium Member dark rain

blurred headlights
                whisper along
                     glistening roads
                         in a chilly
                             dark
                                   rain

                                        dark
                                             rain

Thirst

My throat feels sore, 
   A thirst that need to adore;
A needless bore, 
   Amidst the heat within my core.

Happy Ramadhan ...
