Best Ingrown Poems


Premium Member Lady Legend
A battlefront benefactress,
She has her fortress, a fortified Princess, inside the dungeon of distress,
Tiled with the bone chips of ingratitude colored in pigments of black bright & rugid red,
An arrowhead chandelier illuminated by wicked tears, wet with woe,
Everybody saw her wedding dress, they all knew...

She spoke to me
about the semantics of shame,
the seduction and flame,
the name of the pain,
lunatic loop of lost meaning,
complaining of symptoms remaining
robust and teething
weighing upon me
morning through evening
like a stoney smoke stifling,
misidentifying the madness 
of this sadness as inherent illness
primordial and permanent,
the face of Her...

Unattended
A garden unattended 
is a woman abandoned


Grass growing unruly 
her hair untidy


Petals dried out 
manicure urgently needed 


Dry stems and twigs 
chapped lips and dry skin


Weeds vined and entwined around trees 
ingrown toenails and coarse heels on feet...

With My Respect To Those Who Died
Millions died, they are gone.
War took a lot of lives.
But our faith grew strong,
We are against of guns and knifes.

Millions died. For our souls,
For our happy being,
For realizing our goals,
To be able get new feelings.

Millions died who had no chance.
Every soldier left unknown -
Shame for...

Spring: Mercurial Seed
A treatise on regenerating life
Old Man Winter's residual cultivated by Spring's mid-wife
Into fertile cavity seed with precision did knife
In earth's dark bosom; cauldron of strife
With jolting, painful movements rife
Helios incubated the embryonic pod
Unction sparked from Zeus's rod
Jupiter's vital streams embalmed ingrown clod
With growing pressure swelling...

Sundays
in rains
forgotten odor
and those ingrown dreams
about
her arm

Sundays in rains

like a farewell

Sijo Ballet
Ladies upon a stage which are dressed in feminine style
Gracefully in a row, they flow as a troupe dancing the ballet
I am sure those ladies had many ingrown toenails and cramps....

I'm worried
you have over valued
your favorite deceptively entertaining 
disformed
dis-eased commodity,

DisInformation's strategic value
and disvalue
and misvalue
depreciatively revaluated
against long-term resonant

of USA patriotic empowerment
for resilient health and safety ecosystems

Of WHAT USE ARE FINGERS TO HANDS THAT ONLY UNDERSTAND MITTENS

I have a bunion and an ingrown toe nail;
I’m a blind man wearing glasses and I can’t find them;
My hair is so short that I am bald;
My spine so straight I am tall;
I have a...

The Agony of De Feet
The Agony of de feet

When I am afoot I fear for the fact
That my didgets will fidget
And I must react
My corns are like thorns
When the pressure is great
The bunion’s no funion 
My toenails ingrown
With all this pain I can loudlly state
I must buy large shoes

Keola-Sonnet-Martin Luther King, Jr.

Imagine perched above, you ride THE lofty throne
Peering through pellucid skies to seek our MORAL truth
You yearn to spread what people need; empathy ingrown
To stare into transmutative hearts, from elderly to youth…

Suddenly, your throne volplanes into a graceful ARC
Your view, now curved,...

Butterfly Stickers
Seems like cozy words won't make a fire when it's winter
Neither will my hopes and dreams, though people say I'm a winner
The only one who stood by me has dragged me down again
I'm lying naked on the bed with a parallel universe in my brain

I...

Shock
like pulling teeth
i can't wait to get this thing removed
thought it was an ingrown hair
but apparently the pain shows me where it really hurts

state of shock
phone too expensive
undeliverable mail
line of communication down

beware the water

side effects may include
swelling and shrinkage

waking up more dead everyday
voiceless expressions

no time...

Are You Still a Dreamer
You say you used to dream but now you’re old
and have no more dreams in you?
and you say you have no more gas in the trunk?
that life has not been good to you

That your arthritis is too painful
that you might have the big ‘C’, cancer
and...

Swirled
I put up the barriers and molded the Great White Stone.
I searched all written doctrines that embodied my light.
It was a remarkable journey let me tell you of my flight.
I even went through DNA of every strand of every bone.
 
I matched all the genetic...
