Best Mutated Poems


Premium Member Autumn On Fire

God’s inspirational napalm set ablaze upon the trees of autumn,
Welcome to the ascension of the fall season, bursting forth onto
The leaves once evergreen.
Colors of crisp snapping, auburn reds, fires aglow oranges, and
Subdued darken browns to contrast the mixtures blending, created
By the masterful hands of a higher powers creativity.
Tender timbers mutated into a glorious display of light and color,
Splashing the palette array of natural beauty.
Blessed in magnificence the lord hushes and stills, the mortal heart,
As inspiration captures the poets ink pen to write,
Upon the empty parchment page.
Strolling lovers huddle together, beneath a wondrous tapestry,
A canopy of leaf petals, that descend as it is caressed
By a chilling fall breeze.
Whispering softly in each others ears tender words
Sweet nothings, youth in utter splendor wrapped
Embraced in loves devotional shawl of emotions.
Behold vows promises of perfection uniting
These spirits of fall, united against the winter
Winds forever more.
Cold and slain lay the roses of summer, yet within
The wild heart of innocence, the flame of desire
Shall not flicker out, nay it lives strong in the young,
A blossom of delicate distention is true loves flower.
Oh in timeless remembrance as years will pass,
And only one shadow remains between these two
Souls united joined in life as one. 
Shall beyond another single silhouette awaits,
Tracing these burnt ambers of autumn from long ago,
 In cascading showers of melted colors of memory.
In angels tears a gentle rain does fall, yet a smile
Crosses the face of this eternal love, a blessings
Promise in one word spoken, always.
God’s inspirational napalm set ablaze upon the trees of autumn,
Welcome to the ascension of the season, bursting forth onto
The leaves of the evergreen.

I’m straying away from the norm

It’s stressing me out to conform

A fave form I must adjust -

The last line’s bitten the dust!



Sweet Nina is causing mischief

I’m sobbing, she’s causing me grief

Limerick’s are divine -

This one’s missing a line!



My chosen form now has mutated

It’s modern, the old ones outdated

Will my new form catch on

Now the last line has gone!




I’ve invented the ‘slimerick’ it’s a traditional limerick form but with the final line missing!

No pagan crown of fossil lairs
Of him I write no verse nor song
T’is not a soup to stir nor share
When lending strength, to something wrong.

Seconds cloned from darkest matter
Mutated minutes dredged by fear
Mind confusion as reason shatters
Innocents lanced by emotion's spears.

Flowers edge the steps and fences
Prayers are uttered near a shrine
Notes of love, as grief commences 
A vigil wrought by hearts sublime.

Picking up the scattered pieces
Light must shine to crack the dawn
Support can smooth the furrowed creases
Only hope can make their spirits strong.

Premium Member Light Shines In Total Darkness

" When one least expects...hope illuminates"                 




                                    Light Shines In Total Darkness


                           A moment in time where love should leave
                           when incompatibility muddy crystal waters
                           dissolves a tie that binds divine connection
                           widens the abyss as dream loudly shatters

                           Down on my knees I begged for a reprieve
                           gazes polarizing for to her nothing matters
                           in locked cages lay vestiges of desperation
                           intimacy now in tatters mutated to cinders

                           Aged moon will not commiserate then give
                           nebulous promises to stop onrushing tears
                           nor rays to light the path toward contrition
                           and turtle doves waving wings that glitters

                           Weary eyes reaching for salvation perceive
                           apparitions raising me up to alleviate fears
                           cleansing this heart throbbing in exultation
                           as grass springs anew...while grief withers.

Next Moment



Gangsta politicians,
falling stars   ...   twinkling
of an eye 
	disappearing

Leper lips
	 halitosis blowing
Got there gun clips
and stacked deck 
	    poker chips ...
Sin City bullets overflowing

Body politic,
staph tongue infection
Still the voters ain’t 
getting sick
	    and tired of the lies
Coming from the mouth of frogs,
whose sticky words
      attract a swarm of flies

Gangsta politicians,
falling stars   ...   Babel Tower wishing
Twitchy finger hearts
	on the nuclear trigger 
Hope got a tarry start
Poof!
The next moment
	  whole cities were disappearing

Spotted skin suits,
so profiteering from the mutated pain
Rotten to the root,
nether mind laws neglect the suffering

You can scream 
up to the top tear of your lungs,
but corporate desert adders can’t hear
Dare to dream,
poll take the right party plunge ...
Now, does that pledge lessen the fear?

Gangsta politicians
demand sycophant loyalty
Falling stars
want your eyes bowed down
before their flag
Begging for a peace of crumb 
on your trembling knees

Can’t you see,
can not you read
the tea leaves?

Future past 
is on a thundercloud roll

Terrifying prophecies
have so long ago foretold
how the end’s gonna be

Gangsta politricians,
Rublecon paws    ...   blood-licking
Houdini toes, 
	the next moment,
without a cash trace  disappearing

Falling stars
want you joined
to their holster hips
Taking a serpentine bullet ride
to the bottomless pit

Premium Member Roll On 2022

So here here it is the new year has begun
And already it hasn't been much fun
Another lockdown
All wearing a frown
And there's no place on earth where we can run...

We were promised a world beating vaccine
And real proof of it has yet to be seen
The virus has mutated
Mankind getting frustrated
And fed up of this enforced quarantine...

Empty promises and false hope are rife
All it brings us is frustration and strife
So roll on next year
Bring much needed cheer
And put normality back into life...

Covid -19 a Silent Messenger of Lucifer

Through the creek of the door there sneaked in a silent messenger of Lucifer,

A breathing man sneezed till the last breath, and was shrouded with chillness,

It was a soothing flame of fire choked the chamber in and out,

Rapidity was a trait of the silent messenger which breathed its force mysteriously,

And there was coughing, sneezing and spitting with rising temperature,

The stigma of Covid-19 had its recycle with its mutated psychology.

The victims succumbed to the predator’s double-bladed scalpel.

The illegitimate entry of Covid -19 into an Oriental province is an infamous history,

The silent messenger then turned to an untamable monster that devoured the ‘innocents’,

Clinical staff ran helter-skelter to fight with the devouring monster,

The malicious hunter with his hunting dog wolfed breath in minutes.

The mammoth giant in miniature form of virus wielded his weapon ‘cross the horizon,

And multiple lives were dragged thro’ the tunnel of darkness,

The malicious organisms with short span of life-expectancy breed countless generations,

And enjoy themselves with the crown of sinister leaves.

Who will chase the messenger of Lucifer and shall redeem the world?

Day in and day out chemicals and antibiotics run under microscopes,

Vaccines are tried in every corner,

But experiments and efforts seem to be a fiasco.

So Who shall chase the messenger of evil from the face of human lives?

There is One Who made man and creations,

So, let’s seek His Providence to walk in His Word,

And Life on earth shall be a way unto the Life of Eternity.

Shall we all….?

Premium Member Indigestion

It started with an apple in paradise or was it a date they consumed

Had they kept their clothes off laundry day would have been easier

	The smell of seduction and no fake news

Honestly who cares whether it was pure sex or sweet requited love

Darwin had his way and they followed a journey to un-heavenly bliss

	Candied peel from a fruit of nibbling temptation

It was a Saturday and procreation their Christian duty to comply

With the rule of nature to mix seeds in fertile pastures of joy

	Russian roulette from a gene pool of ancestral relief

I hear you say its the parents’ fault that happiness mutated

Into a warm gun with too many bullets to the beat of a drum

	Golden delicious pipped kernels for conquest

Peaceniks taken to task for one simple innocent transgression

A nudist colony abandoned in the name of belligerent arrows

	Collateral damage and indiscriminate targets

The story stemmed from every one begetting each other’s brethren

Breathless cohabitation under the watch of place time and poppies

	Fig leaves of duty and denuded trees

Kalashnikovs draped on the snake’s slithering sleaze and corruption

Corporates bonking for virginity and testimony of final selection

	Dripping deceit like custard on rotten flesh

Under a mushroom cloud hell fire dispenses irrefutable evidence

That the emperor’s garments are ragged down to a lice infested core

	Adam and Eve seek asylum in a mental ward

Bedlam bound in shackles to the jester’s snide mocking applause

Psychotropic injections to remedy catatonic results of one violation

	Rape pillage and plunder and Satan as a voyeur

Field brothels and comfort women un-sheath prickly pears in disguise

Persimmon dishes out passion steeled in sharp blades of the paring knife

	And so we choke on what should have been celestial food

Pious and devoted to whipped cream and second helpings of anger

We feed on desolate fields and irrigate fear suffocation and slaughter

	Eves of destruction and her toy boy sheds venom and pain

You are electron microscopic size, but you possess infinitesimal power. Just a single strand of encapsulated RNA, yet you and your brothers SARS and MERS can sicken and kill more complex life.

Covid-19, virion unseen
Bring humans to their knees
Cowering and trembling

You spring up suddenly from nowhere and spread like fire in a parched forest. Devastating stock markets, stopping sports teams, halting concerts and forbidding gatherings over 250 souls. Quarantines of ships and planes. People greedily grasping, fighting and clawing for the important things in life: toilet paper, masks, cleaning supplies, paper towels.

A boon to corporations
Johnson and Johnson, Proctor and Gamble
Secretly happy you are around.




World wide you spread, showing no regard for race, boundaries or politics.



Italians, Iranians, Chinese,
Americans, Norwegians,
Japanese, Brazilians

The world caught unprepared. Scientists scrambling to develop a vaccine. All will breathe a sigh of relief when you cease your rampage.  That is until you return, mutated, the same but different and we start all over again.

Premium Member English Will Never Die

Every day in every country,
Our language is distorted, mutated on planet Earth.
Good words like “drolic” die,
Whilst “wanna ‘ave a go” is given a birth.

In Australia it’s clearly a Mad World with
Slang words destroying our grammar.
“Yeah naah, naah yeah”
Smash literature, smash it with a hammer.

We always modify and contort our words,
“Too right, this arvo, I’m rooted, go crack a fat”.
Aussies go getting’ it written in permanent,
“Good onya” a fair dinkum tat.

When u were left alone, alone to fight,
Fight for survival, u gave it a crack.
But the society of dictionaries, they stood,
Stood up straight, and then they turned their back.

So, traditional writing is dying,
Stuttering, falling, the writing’s on the wall.
See ya later elocution,
Ya didn’t shorten, that’s been ya downfall.

But alas, don’t freak, ur family name is safe,
Since some old words evolve and new are created.
Shakespeare invented and killed off heaps himself,
Arch villain, rant, drugged and assassinated.

Skin I'M In Part Two

Only little black girl at  school and her white friends admired her ‘tan’ 
–“I'm brown all over” she told them, proudly motioning to all her body.  
But skin color can be an issue
 I remember the back of the bus-
although we rarely rode it because of that.  
I remember for colored only water fountains 
segregated schools and lunch counters for whites only.  
I remember the caste system at my high school- black step back, brown stick 
around, white you all right. 
I think Langston Hughes captured the cadence of it.  
Bright skin girls were queens and princesses, beautiful and fair.  
Black girls were well, BLACK and that was supposed to be a negative.  
And then a funny thing happened on the way through the sixties-
BLACK was beautiful and the skin color dynamics began to change.  
It came out of the closet and was addressed by white, black, brown, red and 
yellow people.  
Now skin color is celebrated in all shades and hues although 
I still hear teenagers at my high school (I'm a teacher now) say things like, 
"I'm not sitting out here in no sun, I don't want to get any blacker than I am."  
And of course prejudice has not disappeared it has mutated and we do have 
stronger defenses against it in some cases.  
Interestingly even skin color defines some of my "brown" students.  
They react to the "darkness" of each other and their parents, relatives and 
friends.  
"My mom is real dark, Miss, she don't look nothing like me."  
"Miss, do you think I look like a Mexican?  I don't look nothing like a Mexican."  
"I'm a Latina." 
"There's no such thing as a Chicano, it's something people made up, either 
you're a Mexican or you're not."  
"What does that mean-Hispanic?"  
"I'm Cuban, Puerto Rican, and El Salvadorian, from Belize; Honduran (We got 
black Hondurans, Miss)” That’s the color of skin thing.

Death By Beauty

A smile moves across her lips
She gazes at her crime
A scar across her flesh and soul
To haunt her for all time
She’ll waste away for all she cares
Never stops to use her brain
Doesn’t care about the ones who are close
All she cares about is pain

She wants to be what the others expect of her
Doesn’t care about the self-respect for her
A rose can’t be a forget-me-not
Can’t she see what all she has got
Already?

Never to go back again
She feels the world is at an end
She will never show her grief
Although she’ll cry in empty streetS

She’d sooner live like a desolate mole
Living in fear in an empty hole
Screaming silent wails alone
Content to live in her mental home

A final tear falls from her eye
It hits the ground, it’s followed by
A beautiful body, mutated by hate
A kind word could have stopped it, but it is too late
One two many bricks in the wall in her mind
Molding her demise because her heart was blind
This self conscious being could never have won
For she was destroyed by the beautiful ones

She wouldn’t fight back, wouldn’t respect herself
In the end, she managed only to wreck herself
A rose can’t be a forget-me-not
Little did she know, she had all she had sought
Already

For a National Endowment of the Humanities Project - Social Theological Studies

THEORY
The truth is that we are the people of North America mixed by the blood that existed via the birth of a nation.  We have no biblical presence as given.  We are Social Theological Studies.  No God was there for us.  We became a government formed from earth.  We are generations discovered.  We are the blood matured and mutated from origin, immigration, and enslavement.  We state our allegiance and our beliefs to a greater source.  We are worshipers of The Unknown God.  Although we may use the given epithet by the Hebrews, Jews, and Gentiles - Jehovah God Lord – this, to us, is the unknown God.

Physiology
1.	A political-religious focus delivered through a Humanities model.  
2.	A socio-activist voice that will address the Humanities situation.  
3.	Social Theological Studies searches for a greater way that captivates the   
         mind and embellishes the soul.

Methodology
Through empirical research via a mixed method, Social Theological Studies will investigate our biblical presence as the formation of living via structure.   Poetry and philosophy ethnography of ideals, beliefs, creeds, a family way (ethnomethodology), etc. will be composed through a multidisciplinary model, which involves and is a Humanities approach.

Philosophical Hypothesis
We did not evolve.  We were discovered. 

This is a casual model that represents two variables, which are discovery (to the creation of a nation) and evolution (our time of metaphorical evolution).

Holistic Perspective
As stated, we have no Biblical presence given.  We are committed to this sense-datum of a nation (United States of America) origin and birth because…

Only through iniquitous content does a wrongful world exist or hold capacity. Thus, this hold true to a governess of a country.

Verisimilitude
The credibility and quality of this project are authentic in research via observation, interviews, case studies, etc. that semblance of truth refers to research findings that are consistent with occurrences in the ‘real world.’
