Best Nastiest Poems


Premium Member Just Saying My Piece
When Poetry Soup becomes infested with partisan rubbish, 
It will be difficult for liberal, creative poets, like me to flourish 
Who seek a safe place away from the maddening ignorance 
Of those people who continually despise political difference 
For those who are angry and want...

Is This Me
I don't know what you're really thinking off me.
If this is real thinking I'm not thinking properly.
Everything inside me fights and tries to stop these warnings in mind, was fine and now they got me locked up in my divided mind of  conflict. 
In...

Premium Member True Love Will Endure
Fancy the reasons why love is so elusive
Could be we don’t know what we look for,
Feelings that with love are not conducive
Strange so many do not know the score
Looking for love “in all the wrong places,”
Confusing true love with an infatuation,
Equating it with beautiful or...

Premium Member Orange Is Arrogant and Pompous
Orange steps into view
Demanding her due,
Green plots
Blue demurs
Pink laughs

Grandma rolls her eyes
She has met other oranges
Purple sits tight, not relinquishing the throne.
Grandma mouths ‘sit put’ to Purple

Orange throws the biggest nastiest fit ever seen in the forest.
She wants Purple to give her the respect she...

Premium Member Soup Drama
Last week featured poetic Drama
Like living at home with your momma
Poetic, inspiration
Perhaps taken vacation
So watch your P’s, your Q’s and comma

Jack’s Sprat had the nastiest critic
Mary said, “You just better quit it!”
Jack said, “I may as well split!”
Mary’s mad enough to spit
Soup is family, don’t...

Boogers Doctor Seuss Style
Be it winter or summer more likely than not
my big nose can produce giant globs of green snot.

I use up the tissues a box at a time,
picking and blowing and wiping the slime

that dries in my nostrils like small crusty scabs
and I pull thwem out...

Premium Member Why I Hate Pigeons
They are perched everywhere just waiting. 
If you feed them, they will start defecating. 
Some people consider them rats with wings. 
Pigeons can do some of the nastiest things. 
I went to the car wash to get my car clean. 
What a flock did was...

Puppy Love
Watery eyes pour puppy chow into a bright and shiny new dish.
Tears alone most surely cannot amount to that of wonderful filtered water—this doesn't change the fact that I am outright crying—(please don't tell).

She named her Luna and I fell into puppy love.
This puppy, of...

Premium Member Oh How I Hate Okra
There is a food I hate to eat,
I hate it in my mouth
it taste like slime in my mouth,
the nastiest food on earth!

Oh how I hate okra,
oh how I hate okra,
oh how I hate okra,
the nastiest food on earth!

It has a flower on its top,
and...

Mis-Fit Human
Mis-fit human
Oh we sprung into the Eagles,
cos we could cos we could,
And we altered things too suit us,
cos we could,
We over-took the bodies of Chimps,
enjoyed the physical,
And we slaughtered out the other Chimps,
at this the Chimp does well,
So murder become the pattern,
of our Animal neighbourhood?

Premium Member Mean Jean
Some folks just don't have a life of their own.
Some live on other's problems.
Some live on other's dreams, and hopes for the future.
Some live on just being the antagonist to everyone else;
They are the worst of all.
I once had a neighbor who somehow held title...

Attached To Detachment
leaving here on a midnight run
my energy nervous for no reason
i think about the free breakfast that will probably be the nastiest thing i ever ate
i am walking the floor over the next set of plans
when the next day comes, my eyes are heavier than...

The Private Cellar
I crept through the night just like a creepy crawler.
The smell of dust mixed in the reek of wine.
Lo and behold there was a crack in a mighty fine line.
Dripping and drooling with many more pleasures to be, 
The darn rats were the nastiest gnawers....
