Best Insipid Poems

Insipid Nights  (modern Tanka)


They sleep together
On a four foot bed
Back to back they lie
Facing the wall
Miles apart....

On her front porch, the elderly lady stood
Sending forth a farewell starts with a wave
Wait for the tires to be silent in the woods
The sound faded on the stones of the stave.

She waits for the family car to fade from sight
Clouds of dust gradually drifted...

Opposed within the same genus
A recognition of man's existence
I try to inverse the Truth
Thus the latter becomes defined as oblivion
And shallow existence
Those things that cannot be reversed
A peculiar mark of substance
Perceived with utter perception 
The truth that colludes 
Thought provoking propositions 
And implications of rugged...

Bitter gall upsize
For folly you prize


Native of worry
In your sad story


Plunder with lame vice
In sorry surprise


Lean on naked woes
That cast painful shores


Touch of vile bad luck
Denial feels awestruck


You can do much more
If only you store


Come to terms here friend
Do make impact trend


Rise again and fight

Insipid lifestyle – 
The side effects are horrid
Silence speaks! Shut it!

We are surreptitiously taught

Insidious ways

This system teaches more about war than peace

More about the winners throughout history

It does...

Vacant Perdition


Reeling listless
Empty story
Gazing, endless
Mandatory
Purgatory
Muted motion
Thinking sorely
Null devotion

Sudden urges
Fleeting feelings
Will emerges
Sailing ceilings
Disused dealings
Mislaid purpose
Broken meanings
Without service

It’s insipid
Bouncing bluster
Wisdom wicked
Nothing mustered
Lacking luster
Sempiternal
Filibuster
Silence vernal...

Insipid be the bounty, lain before the masses.
Languishing are those the ravenous harasses.
Mortals just morsels to a hunger never sated.
Fear laden blood keeps who feeds intoxicated.
The crazed stare unphased, their beckoning insidious.
They whom lay slayed, just meat for the carnivorous.
Of men or of babe be...
