Best Overran Poems

The day was going off, and the brown air
To the terrestrial animals gave rest
For their labors; and only me was there

Just ready to withstand the war at best
Both of the journey and of the torment,
Which by my mind will be rightly expressed.

O muse, o high...

Moving as prescribed, holding bodies correct,
is life denied and confined within limits.	
Our souls course divine life and truth through our blood -
we all thirst for spirit’s flood to seek a burst.
Even the first primitive man’s blood did flow
spirit overran with the want to let go.

Our...

Impossible dreams that give rise to miracles do happen in real life,
How else can one explain  as riotous celebrations burst into life,
There in Leicester City when her football team confirmed their supremacy,
With a final 3-1 rout of their latest opponent from the illustrious Everton...

Refrain:

Beware ye netizens
of the internet troll
dare not feed it.
just sigh and past it scroll

I
There dwell within the internet
A vile creature with a rash wreath
Who spews their venom
From between their buck teeth

"Just ignore it!"
Can we get a moderator before we're overran?
Drive out this message board demon
We'll...

Burning effulgent golden daystar - mirrored, reflected
Drawing up the facsimile of faith and luminescence
Trees oscillate and dance together with the rhythmic gust of breeze
Air - blowing and puffing, zephyr cooled by the brook
Turfs overran the...

Burning, gleaming effulgent golden daystar - mirrored, reflected, pictured
Drawing up the facsimile of faith, ardour and iridescence
Trees oscillate and dance together with the rhythmic, dulcet gust of breeze
Air - blowing and puffing, zephyr cooled , frozen by the brook
Turfs overran and overlaid the land with...

When the mind became numb I didn’t have to feel the rest.
Feelings they say, I laugh, I never felt the blame.

When the mind became numb I didn’t know about the real.
A foreign concept that was a native language to my soul,
It blocked my ability to...

TRENCH  CURSE 1918
BY
JOHN M. ARRIBAS

	
Patriotic songs give us reason to cheer
Except when “ over there” becomes over here
Mounting casualties are easy to explain
Men on foot crossing open terrain
Synchronized whistles signal the attack
Rise out of the trenches don’t look back

Charge across no mans land search...

At this time in my life 
I am sure of nothing
I earn zilch in the town of nothingville 
but still have to pay taxes

I cannot forget the horror
Of that weekend
But for my own sanity I must relate 
to whomever dares to listen  

At last...

Burning effulgent golden daystar - mirrored, reflected
Drawing up the facsimile of faith and luminescence
Trees oscillate and dance together with the rhythmic gust of breeze
Air - blowing and puffing, zephyr cooled by the brook
Turfs overran the land with exultation and furore
Fondling, gripping, and cuddling the headstream
Odoratas...

Sometimes as a child you ran.
Sometimes you ran as fast as you can.
Sometimes you ran to kick the can.
Sometimes you ran.
Sometimes you ran from the man.
Not 1970’s “The Man”.
You ran from the man with the belt in his hand.
When you ran you didn’t have a...

The rumbling and shovelling 
Pandemonium  and desecration
The killings and maiming of souls
Boko harambee, the harem of 
 murderers
The genie let loose, murder 
  incorporated,
Unlicensed to kill
It's the wild! wild!! North on
  the brink!

The north overrun 
The hounds on the run
The hunt only...

I have a great need for help
I overran the bath again last night 
While I was sleeping.
I'm so afraid my parents are 
going to tell me I have to move 
to Assisted Living.
Can you tell me how,
Please tell me how
To rig a float to sound...

FLU - DAY 1
Just when it came to me I cannot say
nor did I think that something was amiss
as rising from a restless sleep one day
but won't admit it coming from a kiss;

I pulled my covers quick to hide my head
ignoring ev'ry call to rise...

"We're all comfortable under the cloak of night,
and have many miles to cover.
We must head North and then,"said Owl, 
"my plan you will discover."

"There's a stream to the North of the cereal field,
that's home to a Beaver tribe.
If they can divert the water's course, 
we...
