Best Mutating Poems


Premium Member A Lonely Ruin
Etched in my soul
is the peace of a lonely ruin,
an old chapel on the skull
of a hill surrounded by pastureland
and wind-swept trees.
Below a lake stretches into the distance,
its waves lapping the mottled shores,
its waters harboring a variety of fishes,
its surface mutating according to nature's whims.

“we woke up early one morn, ego shorn
it felt as though we were in form reborn
nodes within stirred, boundaries blurred
our head and heart, with love concurred”
(line of inquiry)

Tears fell upon a senseless blank page,
as self-pride suppressed dark vents of rage.
We become silent when words don't engage,
until...

Premium Member White Wolf, I Bleed For You
Once upon a time
Distant memories 
Dawning of morning crystals
Glittering reminder of starlight tears
 
In sunbeam's brilliance
Lighting jewels shine
Songbirds break into chorus
The smallest fragment of a breeze alerts
 
The senses whistling
Melodies explode
Through the branches leaves lament
Observing nature's space hold in colors
 
Fruit of tenderness
Mellow your sunshine
Blossoms...

The tales of a broken lover
I can feel it I can hear it
I can dream it I can see it
day and night, week and week
I drown in this bloody sea
I die in this ocean of tears
I swim in the dead of sorrow
the synchronising melody of death
is like an anthem to...

Premium Member Father Time's Interview
Hi.
We don't have a lot of time,
or, well, I guess you do,
but I don't,
so let's plunge right into the first big question:
Which came first, form or function?

False dichotomy. No such thing as a totally dysfunctional form,
and no such thing as changing function without some form
distinguished...

Alien Invasion
Predator drone recording:- 6.00am
 
The dawn sky dramatic 
Multi-coloured in rainbow array
Mutating flares of crimson reds
One portent Wednesday.

Overhead the predator drone motionless
Metallic silver it's planed wings
and tip pointed nose

Alarming to view it's presence 
Though reassuring to see it remain
As alien activity increases
In newsworthy reports of...

Save the Earth

Fossil fuels burning, ice caps melting 
we are the reason polar bears aren’t surviving    
Nuclear radiation killing, nuclear waste on the river floating, 
we are the reason turtles are mutating

Resquicat In Pace
Meeting you in the court of dawn,
Yes! We played and cried on life’s lawn.

Mutating dreams to reality the task at noon,
Ordering my trembling steps to the moon
Tearing our fate at dusk
Hands of death task
Earth you depart mot my path
Resquicat in pace and in my heart...

Premium Member The End of the World
In this world we seek wealth and that better life 
Finding lies, debt, plague and fear, in this forest of strife 

Spirit weak, hopeless, afraid to answer when any query is raised 
behind apathy and delusion hide, thinking earth will be unfazed 

See the deadly...

Half-Life

Longevity dreamers don’t wanna
deal with me
I’m short straw bad for good health
Liquidators that are paid handsomely
to handle the hazard,
don’t quite make it home safely
after coming in direct contact with me
Material perks comes with a radioactive 
buyers remorse poisoning penalty
Emergency workers sub-contracted to die,
get an all-expenses-paid...

Premium Member Question Without Fear

You silence the noise, from your electric clock 
turn on the lights, shower and your coffee pot 
Do you feel blame for what you have done 
Since, the clock signaled, your day had begun 

Hundreds of simple tasks, that we do everyday 
No qualm of...

Veggie Blunt
My babies loved the cats,

through the ages of the naps,

in the pages,

in the clasp,

on the floor,

atop a mat,

I pull it out and flip a bat-
let a lover free the band,
so I may rebuttal and unleash some wrath...


Because just one tap on the blacks,
leads a lover...

Cockroach
Across the white of table bread and yellow plated cheese
Upon the black fictitious grapes, it wheezes its disease
It crawls, its scrawny legs cluttering the revulsion's sight
Look at this nocturnal insect parading pride in pallid light

And so one, then suddenly a thousand more, and still more
From...

Those of our christian rights drew us a beautiful picture 
perfectly placed within family values

To worship the Child an Infant conceived Sacred
teaching every single one the parables of this life 
with deeply etched principles attached 

To overshadow a mass deception mutating...
