Best Mangling Poems

Demons drown the desire;
proudly persecuting patiently.
Evil erupted entities;
maliciously mangling me.

Satan states the severity;
of corrupting his command.
Ferociously framed in fire;
horrifically at his hands.

Dreams died decades ago.
Slaying sins set out;
to traumatize the innocent,
on a rancid, wretched route.

Blood bath beginning;
Demons delightfully dote.
Abominations are appreciated;
take the knife to her...

It’s Dead! Buried! Murdered! By
Societal  Evolution. Technology has 
Guillotined it, chopped to,
 Shards of quick transference.
Paperless, Ephemeral, Unbounded By
Chemical mixtures, giving  whole
Recognition, permanence. Now
It is whisked away, as Dandelion fluff
In the wind of electrons.
Meaning given by consent of,
Ignorant users, only capable of,
Mangling, what...

The cat and the dog are wrangling
I see a paw hit the canine.
A row and now a tangling.
I put my bet on the feline.
My job is to see no mangling
and not one hit at all is fine.
The cat is now fandangoing
to put the big dog...

Remember the day before you died? Your heart reeked of mania. The way you lied about your whereabouts broke my world into a mangling mess. Who cleaned up my mess? It used to be you. But as I tried to clean your mess, it seemed...

Hashtags polling

virtual war, viral

naija stand by

wait!

Fall they will,

like pack of cards

in the face of cash

Sandcastle disco!

Sing-song voice, rings hello

trained roll of the tongue

cultivated baritone

a pitch here and there, emoting

Back in chains

tongue under this blade lies

cool, feeling cool,

hugging the chains

listening to the Cool FM

What a way...

I knew him before they shackled him to chair
I contend, none knew him better than I
He's tall, charming, quite an elegant air
An athlete lissom, a kite in the sky
What happened you asked, what so deformed him
Crippled his independence, left him ill?
The doctors said osteo-arthritis
But a...

[This poem 'No God Of  Mine' was seemingly confounding readers as
to its meaning. Ordinarily, if I felt a poem wasn't  cutting it, I'd delete
it, but on this occasion, I've been asked to explain it... so here goes.]


By way of prologue, the picture is indicative of a discovered...

It isn’t fear of the unknown
That makes me quiver at dying.
It isn’t for sins I’m due to atone.
And it isn’t for tears and crying.

No, it’s the mind-mangling thought
Of being alone without you—
In dreamless emptiness wrought
It chills me through and through.

“You won’’t know it,” some explain.
And...

“Oh Snowman!” sing the children-birds,
“For what reason are you astray?”
He’d put some care into his words.
Who cares what snowmen have to say?

He’d long been keeping up his trade
Of mangling words where truths apply.
But well he knows in this charade
That half the truth is not a...

the dark raven 
beckons my soul
amidst quaint cackling of
the jackals mangling hisses 
I witnessed flowers bloom
 
as the giant oaks
began to kneel at my feet
I witnessed his face 
why I heard his voice
the mauve sky rumbled 

the clay ground crumbled 
at this beautiful coming
sweet Jerusalem...

Part 2 of 2

.........eclectic mangling with each dextrous touch, fine lines begin to smudge, 


reality blends with fiction, body becomes an instrument, instantly switched on, fingers-the intimate, 


high octave tinkering, pursed lips to the sky-the vocalist singing,


 just how I want her to, sweet like...

His love indescribable
His presence overwhelming
A child longing to meet its father
Its cry so unbearable
Mangling to the heart; melancholy
A bondage unbreakable
Apart from being crestfallen by the cruel world,
the child croons to its father to hear its cries,
to save it from the cruel world and its temptations.
World...

Invoking restitution beyond mundane range,
the clarity beneath grounds to actuality
towards mangling misconceptions and rapid change
against those who tolerate useless leniency

There's a massive holocaust taking stern pleasure,
tried and executed, shots fired in a haywire
Bodies everywhere, graves in its gruesome feature
the world being betrayed by a top-tiered...

Gazing with a distant soft saddened stare,
Locked in a zone and I'm staring out there. 

Trampling emotions are mangling my soul.
A pilot flying solo with no self control. 

Headfirst - a nose dive in progress.
Thinking twice - a complex process. 

Falling aimlessly constant flashbacks in...

Cavewoman, sitting in her cave
Angry as hell: her best spear did stave
Vinny the Caveman is at fault
Eagerly chasing deer, he failed to halt
Witness what happened next
Oh, his mighty muscles did flex
Mangling the staff
And breaking that gaff
Never thinking of Rita's best spear!...
