Best Pantomiming Poems

the pantomiming madman squeals appeals
as tall gray shadows elongate along the wall
like black-hearted judges brewing venom
within their jowls bulging and anticipating
the reaping of tears and tremulous wails

the growl of steel-bars and the verdict of iron-doors
molds monsters masticating pheromones of trepidation
as the silent song of degradation...

Recluse by dint of circumstance

Proud anonymous troglodytes 
forerunners of mine
confronted threats less horrific
than forty fifth commander in chief
of United States of America.

He/him (matted hair, ratty, scrawny, 
and tetchy ugly villain)   
scurried into dark recesses of hermitage
averse to cavort, frolic, inure himself
into the duplicitous...

He/him (ratty, scrawny, 
and tetchy ugly villain)   
scurried into dark recesses of hermitage
averse to cavort, frolic, inure himself
into the duplicitous schemes
capitalized, glorified, popularized

courtesy vanity of *****sapiens
lest imp of the pervert 
already sacrificed as renegade
hashtagged heretic condemned 
without merciful intervention
after being duped into...

Heretic condemned to burn at stake
reprieve eleventh hour granted clemency
commuted death penalty
criminal sentenced solitary isolation
rat infested dungeon ultimate punishment
doled out after protracted proceedings
courtesy amazing graceful puffed dragon
unwittingly delivered merciful respite.

Cowled ascetic busied himself
exotic gaseous/ liquified potions
tumbled, gurgled, bubbled...
lethal skull and crossbones
labeled mixtures especially intriguing

His Discarded Love Letter To Her

His love letter to her,
quickly
discarded
didn't fill her envelope
or her heart
for his
dying flame
that never grew.
And a match to candle
brought little light.
For a caricature of us,
eleven months later,
drawn by his voice
brought
shades darken,
shapes drooping,
mouths pouting.
And the candle sits idle,
next to Austin,
her cat,
sweet cat,

Predacious paralogisms of parodies

Pantheans pantomiming

Their self indulgent songs....

Piping their illusions from realities

While the world crumbles about their feet

These axioms of paracymenes souls

Prophesied, from the prophets times

Copyrights....

Fulfilling their tales told

These fallacies of fathoms fantasies

Delusioned dreams, of grandeurs scenes

While portraying....

The pretties of something else?

These wisdoms, within a...

Striking, the spray of light in our night sky!
Out with all worries, it'll be eyes illumined for you and I.
Under our dreams there are tool boxes and road maps
That pirate our delights and make them visible, perhaps.

People know, they know the secret of the shouting...

John Denver Poetry Contest
Anthony Biaanco


Gathered around a campfire
Folks sing, clap, and dance
Take me home on country roads
Rocky Mountain high
High above an eagle circles
A passing deer pauses
Other critters awaken
To listen to John Denver
... sing 
... of nature and relationships
Where his songs light the fire
And where his...

Lost on a sailboat going nowhere but towards a dream 
I glide deeper in blue waters looking for the endless seam 
night has fallen softly all around me, I can only gleam
here in my sailboat, standing spar to spar a pulpit realm
 
Finding only calm...

Desecration, desertion, designation,
yours truly doth poetically dislodge
destabilization, destination, description 
I auto deftly, but did not dodge 

regarding destitution, hodgepodge
comprising 2009 Hyundai Sonata
wheely tired to noodge, yet cannot
drive out accursed tread
full fate, nor outdodge.

Critical breakdowns spanned decks 
cumulative deleterious effects,
thus versatile reasonable rhyme I flex
cuz, methinks...

The shrill sounds in the night surely came from
My dream, or my sick psyche, I’m unsure.
Whichever, I awoke pantomiming
Sabbatical dreams after quarantine.

I desperately needed to escape
the unrelenting stress of concealing
The label I hide on the wine bottle.
I could leave the asylum anytime.

At breakfast they wore...

Do all Flamingos turn to plastic
at their death
or are they pantomiming
every breath

as buzzards returning
to old Hinckley
seek the memory
of something stinky

hello my jewel
perfect timing
now i can do well
no pantomiming

caress my soul
no need to guess
you are always on a roll
you easily impress

love hearing from you
my day you do make
day is no longer blue
the earth does not quake

conversation short
though i cherish to all ends
unnecessary to abort
always....we will...

As an underdog given a short leash on life

alternately titled give one targeted scapegoat a break,
an unquenchable thirst for moolah before I wake
from nightmare of computer hackers. 

I tread upon the oblate spheroid
along the edge of night glistening
like a blade runner wielding a knife.

Dark shadows...
