Best Jigsaw Poems

Have you ever been insane?
Lost inside your own pain

Just trying hard to figure out
What this life is really about?

There are voices up in my mind
Sometimes sanity is hard to find

Whenever I find myself all alone
I keep knocking but no ones home

I study the lines that...

     The old man's trophy,
        antlers impale my      v i s c e r a l     veins. 
  Love, a moth's wings, ash-dusted, flutters...

Just for a while
Wear a foolish smile;
Why? 

~~~~~~~~~


Words on a page
Now tells on you;
Silly poet

~~~~~~~~~


Cryptic ideas veil
Disrupt the easy;
Confront conflict

~~~~~~~~~


Memory goes back
Loiters on old borders;
Ancient artifacts

~~~~~~~~~


Sad news really
Death at doorstep;
Pit stop grief

~~~~~~~~~


Evening wind chokes
Hazy air smoky;
Faraway peat fires

~~~~~~~~~


Touch of morning
Miniature dog walking;
Owner on a leash

Joy juggles jest
Ink id's ingest
Gloom grows grim grace
Sense spacious space
Aim apt asking
Wise words weaving

Primal plot preys
Use urge ugly
Zeal zooms zesty
Zoo-mates zealous
Lovely lines lay
Each efficacious

Please place puzzle
Lofty little
Ask and answer
Yield yoke younger

One big happy family is an understatement at best
A mother whose devotion has built this frenzied nest
A morbid sense of humor, dedicated to our throne
Without our main piece of this puzzle, our fate would be unknown

Our father he’s a comedian, in every sense of the...

(Manifesto) 

VIII … stop! - Skid! - Shift knobs, slide gears, vomit numbness, fondle!… the music of 
guillotines!… 

VII … unmannered retching! since everything is a percentage of death in motel prayer-nights 
separated from unholy echoes and junkyard dogs yapping the insanity by disdain mating...

Why write poetry?
Someone asked again;
Why breathe?

~~~~~~~~~


Snail sliding slowly
Grass verge camouflage;
Morning psalm

~~~~~~~~~


Morning crowd
Busy feet congregate;
Fiddle with cellphones

~~~~~~~~~


Downtown office complex
Rush hour traffic;
Urgent commotion

~~~~~~~~~


Food court terrestrials
Sea of hungry faces;
No place to sit

~~~~~~~~~


Work day blues
So much for so little;
Make ends meet

~~~~~~~~~


Modern day woes
So little time,
So much to do

~~~~~~~~~


Healthy constellations
Mötley...

Bus stop sensations
Where's the bus?
Tardy connection

~~~~~~~~~


Old contact hearsay
Not much to say;
Silent confrontation

~~~~~~~~~


Frangipani sunrise
Pink, yellow, white --
Magical moments

~~~~~~~~~


Smoky stray wind
Grim echoes;
Stale air descends

~~~~~~~~~


Shoppes in decline
Ancient wares loiter;
No takers

~~~~~~~~~


Evening settles
Noisy commotions fade;
Mahjong excavations!

~~~~~~~~~


By this old quay
Modern face lifts greet;
New watering hole

~~~~~~~~~


New dreams stacked
On old faded sites;
Cool revolution

Reflecting back, on a change of life
a  marriage previous failed
few relationships, not me
love falls in your lap, unexpectidly

One day, a monotonous script
the next, oyster of the world begin
lighting my world,like a full blown moon

that will always be there
We both have trudged murky paths
til fate...

TV sensation
Prime time news;
Wake up call

~~~~~~~~~


Elegant poise on TV
Charming sweet voice;
Brilliant anchor delivery

~~~~~~~~~


Homegrown talent
Sparkle and shine;
New media sensation

~~~~~~~~~


Stock market trends
Upswing and downswing;
Challenging times

~~~~~~~~~


Politics of freedom
Confrontational constituents;
Angry defiance

~~~~~~~~~


Observe the times
Conflicts permutates;
Right and left and wrong

~~~~~~~~~


Losing streak
Gambling losses;
Cut loss and run

~~~~~~~~~


Affairs of the heart
Uneasy showdown;
Bruised egos clash

*It's a duet, much like Westbound Train's "Good News" *

Male:  Oh you, sweet angel you
          You take me to my knees

Female:  Oh you devil you

In the quiet morning light, for the first 
time, I truly gazed into the mirror, 
What I saw was unrecognisable,
I must confess I was  close to it but 
had to draw closer still,
I was surprised to see a jigsaw of 
times past.

Once a canvas,...

"When we feel our lives falling to pieces.
it's best to gather them, place in sunlight...by poet

Pieces of our lives, like jigsaw puzzles,
fitting in places, rejected in some.
If unkind, through those I quickly hustle,
expertly avoiding those with no sun,
selecting those with a long distance run.

Searching for...
