Best Ramped Poems
SkateboardingSidewalks and skate parks;
Old swimming pools drained.
Kickflips and split lips;
young ankles sprained.
Aerials and Varials
and being called a punk.
Tail taps and grip tape;
and tricks that take *****.
Exercise that is ramped up;...

Finding PeaceThe MAN
-THE SPIRIT-
- THE SEED
All dwell in the same abode
In the temple
where they are ripened
to be born -
Conditioned in holding tanks.
THE swishing of moving waters
gentle memories
conditioned in silence.

The Hair Flap
by Michael R. Burch aka "The Loyal Opposition"
The hair flap was truly a scare:
Trump’s bald as a billiard back there!
The whole nation laughed
At the state of his graft;
Now the man’s wigging out, so beware!

Watts Is BurningPoet: Ken Jordan
Poem: Watts Is Burning
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: July/2014
Watts is burning, and the powers that be,
show no interest in putting out the flames -
Six fiery days of hell erupts, set ablaze by
a racial city government of bigots, that are
intolerant to black people.
Police brutality, is at an...

Pitfall of InsanityMy self mutated behavior
Resides over me
A disturbing dark form
Drifts there permanently
The sadistic hovering mass
Forces torrential downpours
Which rain decaying acidities
Sweeping over me instantly
As an infectious disease
Running ramped through my blood
I have yet to catch my breath
And still it pushes forward
I...

Humanities RealitiesHUMANITIES REALITIES
The morality rate is at an all-time low
Disparity runs ramped in the streets
The reality of it all screams out "NO"
While everyone's volcanity seethes in heat
The fatality of decency, the mundanity of life
Lost vitality in heart, mind, body , and soul
The profanity we curse...

Shark Defence Frequenciesunderwater mysteries lye dormant
underwater frequencies run ramped
flippy grey floppy over currents and waves
floating boats poach and boast the most
flippy floppy tides sway coast to coast
choppy white water,
tidal wave caps
harpooning for big benji and da bloonies
illegal ignorant people
turn pirate and evil,
they don't even know...

Racing ThoughtsThe cold wind blows
in the frigid north.
Snow has fallen..
No sign of spring.
Dreams of sunshine
and fresh, warm air
captivate my mind,
my entire being.
Birds fly ramped
no shelter from the chill.
I feel their pain,
though there's not much I can do.
Another thought enters
this very open mind.
The meeting of a loved...

Reflection On An Aging NomadI finally finished retiring four years ago,
a process that started in my mid-fifties
due to late adopting kids with special needs,
including needs for me to be home
to personally walk them on,
harness them in,
and wheel them back off, their diverse buses
and robotic ramped vans.
During those final weeks...

Signed SincerelyTimes seems rampant
Your body language an easy to read pamphlet
Heart beats faster quicker the blood transits
Robbery of the heart the approval of this bandit
Revealing feelings that no longer compresses
Making you think, your words are selective
Can’t screw up and chase off what’s...

Its Not To Late For Change ContestIf it was 1942
Relationships would carry substantial views
Since about 1983
Things have changed drastically
Backwards, zig- zaged, upside-down
Destroyed traditions have become muted sound
Men are getting milk for free
While feasting on all the meat they can eat
They have no reason to buy the cow or...

FreeWhy is there so much killing?
Is it really all that thrilling?
Or is it more or less fulfilling?
Does it give you a rush?
Do you think your the only one with the royal flush?
They have got you now,
Just as they vowed,
You thought you could get away with...

Ticking Time BombWith an arrow through my heart, you poisoned my soul
Toxic fumes ran ramped
Appalled at your conniving actions;
Body is numb, icicles for fingers
Crying inside
My mind has become a ticking time bomb
The explosion is bound to be epic...
