Best Rapid Poems

A breathless voice hissed from just behind the child’s
left ear,
he glanced back
to see no one there,
his mind was filled with the thought of death,
his chest heaving as he tried to catch his breath,
and as if he had been running,
his face in the mirror darkened suddenly,
his...

Rapid Response Turtle Team, R2T2, is their name, saving is their game!
They’re ‘Mary River Turtles’, headquartered in a submarine, but not tame.
Forever, on call: a better bunch of blokes, you've never met, is my take.
No one ever drowns, or leaves hurt, with them here, in...

You think you’ve got rhyme but you’re blind
I’d go up against you any time
These here rhymes are so smooth 
people think I’m a mime
Vanilla cool collected 
I’m the definition of “sublime”
My words are complicated simple 
yet they easily intertwine
Try looking at the sun 
to escape...

Rapid river runs,
rampant, raging raucously –
Releasing rancor....

Rapid City, South Dakota 
I always like Fall best 
You can eat buttery pancakes 
From huge Ihop 
And Omelets 
And Toast 
And skillets 
And lots of Reese 
And Butterfingers 
And Twix
At the colorful gas station 
And listen to
Nice relaxing music 
On the hill
At the Mt....

Will I ever find that place of relaxation
Again I'm awake, I'm completely weird
It's a bad case of sleep depravation
That’s why I'm always so dam tired

Eyes flickering, all these flashing lights
The sound of cars keep whishing on by
Clocks ticking, all these sleepless nights
If only I could...

Life is a stream that flows 
never ending 
It's waves surges towards me
 and it slowly becomes a flood 
As my emotions begin to sway 

I feel a unbearable pain 
Yet theres no one to comfort me 
Since there's nothing to gain
 Clouds gather 
the...

Your eyes are like two diamonds I fell into from far away
The steepness of them drowned me to the coolest point 
I fell and hurt myself, but kept on walking to find your heart
Like red rivers under the ice your blood flows so swiftly
It kept...

I've ridden zebras on the Serengeti,
swam the wildest seas;
I've played golf with old Jack Benny
-brought Ali to his knees.
I've killed zombies in my bedroom,
a werewolf on the lawn
-fought vampires at the edge of doom
before the break of dawn.
I've spent the night with Marilyn,
had a beer...

Invadin my space, 
energy I waste?
Not even close,
to finishin this race..
met you at the finish line,
others came up to slow,
a rush of adrenaline,
only one like me would know,
I almost hung myself,
with this lace,
I use to tie my shoes,
high up in the tree's,
disappear, without a trace.
Cut...

It’s the heat of the moment
Which ignites into flames
The burning passion
That trickles down your veins
Calling it love
Until the lover deceives you
Passing his blood
While she provides the forbidden fruit
It’s the blazing fire that’s spreading
To eradicate the people still standing
Who carries the burden of slavery and colonization
From...

There was a time I knew nothing about rhyme, in a place with drugs and crime and I was crawling through the grime. Like looking through a kaleidoscope cause my only friends were alcohol and dope, I was on an extremely slippery slope.

Then came the...

RAPID RHYME

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

rapid rhyme
running out of time
spring raving
goodbye, winter waving
all flora seeking
above ground peeking
spring warmth dependent
on the sun resplendent
rapid rhyme
Jenny Wren sings in time
flies busy
bees dizzy
early cherry bloomed
every branch festooned
spring now weeves
hiding summer up her sleeves
springs raved waiting for a cuckoo
made do with a doves coo...

Last summer
We drove across the country
Just the wife and me

10,000 miles
31 states
Three months on the road

I now know why people don’t live 
In South Dakota

Hot, dry dusty
Windy as hell

Black Hills are nice
But after seeing Mt. Rushmore
There is not much left to do

Rapid City did not...

There’s Nothing Like a Good War

There’s nothing like a good war.
I watched a video of men killing men
Rapid fire, rapid death, rapid fear
When will we ever learn? Never?
It’s in our DNA and used against us
Goad a man, tell him his country needs him
Tell him, to...
