Best Gruesomely Poems


Kirsty (One)
Even now I sit, slump, shuddering,
Remembering...
Stale walls echoing lamenting calls,
their house...
A nightmare flickered in the red herring of betrayal.
Stumbling hormones, skinless evil.
it breathed...
Blood red lips snarling, capturing someone else essence, bone dry.
A nightmare...
Deliberately slithering up my calf, I grasped a cube of insanity as a...

Oedipus the King of Thebes, Iii
--Isn’t She a Daughter of Oedipus?--

Isn’t she Antigone? In search of a fallen prince,
who roams in the battlefield where the corpses of 
defeated warriors lie gruesomely in streams of blood.

Isn’t she Antigone? In search of a sibling who was 
rejected by a sightless ruined old...

The Angel of Death
As I walk this earth 
Bare and broken
Blood soaked and driven
My soul in supernova
My mind, frenzied.

My body bruised
My sword well used
Nostalgic, 
Breathing in fresh paint 
From beaten bodies and torn souls 

Sudden movement
A quivering soul
A careless action
My attention
To hold. 

A smile drapes
Bearing into my soul
The...

Saguaro
In the shimmering heat waves under midsummer blazing sun,
for he doesn’t know the meaning of the abundance of waters 
the overflowing river,
quenched his thirst with boiling sand
while looking at the sky to find a tomorrow
in somewhere on the other side of passing cloud.

He was forgotten...

Premium Member I Thought To Write a Poem On a Gristmill
I thought to write a poem on a gristmill.
First I googled it, having never really heard that term before.
The “grist” part had conjured up for me
images of grisly scenes like in a horror movie
in which all that remained of dead bodies
was the ghastly gristle of...

Broken Heart Street
Hopelessly lying, in a dying bed of depression,
miserably crying, while trying your confession.
Blackening walls, and halls of a fading youth,
Gruesomely calls, of gnaws towards the truth.

Fading beauty, so snooty to those content,
wailing a duty, sooty, those content dissent.
Towards a failing, unveiling of bloody torment,
concealing the...

Premium Member Fragment
Lush sultry scents fill my nostrils
spices and exotic flowers blooms
first encounter with dark people 
my, they were scarey like pirates

Armed with enormous panga's
and wickedly nasty looking knives
at almost 8 years old I shook violently
when one looked at me grinning gruesomely

I shrank back against my mother,...

Times Perpetual Troupe
TIMES PERPETUAL TROUPE
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS



Ever wonder, if you are a member of a troupe 
Acting different roles, yet never leave the loop
I often consider it possible, when I have a Deja Vo
Ago, someone else was me, could it have been you ?
Say there’s a thousand...

Premium Member The Troll-Witch
Here’s the story of a witch, good instead of bad.
No matter that she’s ugly as a troll.
She loves children and their innocence.
Protecting children, therefore, is her goal.

Unable to bear children,
the mother of the Troll-witch visited
a witch who gave to her two flowers:
the second one to...

Jinxed Jesting Jejune Junior Jobber
Jinxed jesting jejune junior jobber...
just jabbering gibberish (A - J)

Again, another awkward ambitious
arduous attempt at alphabetically
arranging atrociously ambiguously
absolutely asinine avoidable alliteration.

Because...? Basically bonafide belching,
bobbing, bumbling, bohemian beastie boy,
bereft bummer, bleeds blasé blues, begetting
bloviated boilerplate bildungsroman,
boasting bougainvillea background.

Civil, clever clover chomping, cheap
chipper cool cutthroat clueless clodhopper,
chafed...

As John Doe, killing people guilty of
whichever deadliest of sins is theirs,
I'm crazy, yet my character's in love
with someone new for whom he greatly cares.

My character won't realize that she
was kin to the obese man, victim one,
whom I had murdered very gruesomely.
Two murders left of...

Premium Member Wages of Sin
“The wages of sin is death”* says God’s Word
Showing man’s transgression-caused damnation
Revealing corrupt, carnal, foolish mind
Midst deceitful heart, gruesomely defiled.

I need deliverance from sin’s wages
Only the Sovereign Lord can fulfill
He’s the Saviour, the Way, the Truth, and Life
Rescuing sinners to the uttermost.

Verily falling short of...
