Best Oracle Poems

The heron is the color
of a November morning.
Fog wets the river rocks.
Fossils faintly echo
a grey past.
I shall take one stone 
home,
to look
through its waterworn hole
and perhaps 
see
the future.

We are in our fall before the season comes
Misting eyes and dropping a dandy heart
A sullen silence around the bee hive hums
History has no center left, facts fall apart

I have nothing left for honey but my words
Listening cleanse the eyes to see forever
Soon the sky...

Memory or dream from hell I cannot tell
The vision of stygian forests where harpies dwell
And men from them among men spawned
Greedy gullibles that on pagan mysteries fawned
Evicted from stygian caves to wander bared
Of human comport and yet in human shape
By cultures of war in Cerebus’...

She laced her eyes 
closed with the ties
    of lover's binding vows

     she's flying blind
to prick your mind
    with thoughts 
   she's writing now.

She's gained conclusions
      from her...

I picked up a Rose an emblem of love
Hopeful heart and a rolling tear
He loves me and he loves me not 
One petal at a time with a soft whisper

Each petal of rose a scintilla of hope 
With each pluck rising and sinking
Last petal of...

Oh what fun it is to watch the surreptitious actions
of the globalist  elite,

And the open mouthed innocent ignorance of
their following sheep.

Feeding the pseudo enlightened masses 
An Epulaeryu of lies,

on their table labeled “comfort zone”,
readily digested as alibis,

courses as to why the unethical repetitively 
Nation...

Cracker-Barrel Oracle
                              by Odin Roark

The whittler
Atop the rickety steps,
Shavings piled at ancient feet,
Eyes the blade
Needing attention...

“Patients, carefully wash your hands and mouth
As the spirits are offended by our smells
And get yourself clean of the defilements”
Thus Matho announced the arrival of the **Dakini
To the séance of the Stok Monastery.
Then Dakini donned her ritual costume
Preparing the alter of seven offerings of
Water, flowers,...

A cosmic clash of epic force
Split Tiamet like brittle thread
Nibiru hugged its distant course
Propelling moons to gnaw and shred

Kingu marveled at what was formed
Asteroids shed from that vast orb
The watery giant was transformed
Leveling as third to absorb

Many long elliptic passes
Tugged Nibiru over ages
Until those once...

A new day perhaps, of immeasurable tin, sound of din
A hurricane noise, a thrall of riotous cuts, although thin
The blood-curdle choke of rage from before
Now purchased like plasma from the needle store
Go hump yourself, If you want my schtick, you vampire whore
You’ve had enough since...

When hectic life overtook me
And I wandered on pathways unknown
Away from light, into the night
I think I needed a God
I asked for strength
I asked for wisdom
And then the oracle shone
And then the oracle shone
From the deep depth of my slumber
I woke to white light
Like a...

(hatched January 2008; snatched October 2010)

nature took you in her loving arms
she saw you needed rest
her garden is most beautiful
for she only takes the best

you shot to fame during Fifa 10
absolutely changing the fate of men
under intense media scrutiny
you altered a country’s destiny

your accuracy was...

If you walk that land
You will find quicksand
And underneath that its just cold...
